Nintendo has scheduled a Partner Showcase for Wednesday morning that will concentrate on third-party titles for the Switch family, including the new Switch 2. The stream is short — roughly half an hour — and is expected to deliver updates and new announcements from external developers rather than first-party Nintendo teams.

  • When: The broadcast goes live Wednesday, Feb. 5 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET on YouTube and Nintendo’s site, after an initial heads-up via the Nintendo Today app and social channels.
  • Format: Nintendo describes the showcase as a compact presentation of about 30 minutes centered on Switch and Switch 2 software from partner studios.
  • Likely focus: Since this is a third-party-focused Direct, expect news on multiplatform and third-party Switch 2 ports rather than big first-party surprises.
  • Games to watch: Several high-profile third-party releases are arriving soon on Switch 2 — examples include Pokémon Pokopia (Mar. 5), Pragmata (Apr. 24), Monster Hunter Stories 3 (Mar. 13), multiple Resident Evil editions (Feb. 27), WWE 2K26 (Mar. 6), Yakuza re-releases (Feb. 12), and Mega Man Star Force Legacy Collection (Mar. 27).
  • What to expect: Short updates, release details, and possible new third-party reveals or release windows for upcoming Switch 2 projects.
