announced that its next Partner Preview showcase will go live later this week. The show will be streamed live on YouTube and Twitch and feature third-party games coming to PC and Xbox consoles.
A Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase arrives this week

The rumor mill can slow to a halt, as Nintendo has finally announced a Direct, albeit through its external partners. On Wednesday, Nintendo will host a Partner Showcase Direct on its channels.
Nintendo’s Partner Showcase will air on February 21 at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET on its YouTube channel. The company says to expect around 25 minutes of info, focused on Nintendo Switch games arriving in the first half of 2024 from publishing and developing partners.
A #NintendoDirect: Partner Showcase is coming! Watch on-demand via YouTube on 2/21 at 6am PT for around 25 mins of info focused on #NintendoSwitch games coming in the first half of 2024 from our publishing and development partners.

So yes, let’s just get this out of the way now: with the words “Partner” and explicit emphasis on the external side of publishing and developing, I would not expect any sort of big Switch 2 reveal or anything. Heck, even a reveal of something like Metroid Prime 4 is likely out of the cards.
If you’re looking for the regular reason to over-hype yourself, though, there’s always Hollow Knight: Silksong. More realistically, studios like Level-5 have been making regular appearances at shows like these, and that company in particular pushed a big batch of games into 2024. I’d put some good odds on Level-5 showing up, though to be clear, that’s just speculation on my part.
Otherwise, expect a lot of non-Nintendo games coming to Switch. It’s an interesting choice, seeing as this is Nintendo’s first Direct of the year, and the same time as they’d usually host a big Direct to kick it off. It’s a shame the company isn’t putting any of its own stuff into the mix, and at 25 minutes compared to a hopeful 40 or so, I imagine we’ll still hear speculation about a full Nintendo Direct long after.
At least for now, we can spin down the rumors and look forward to seeing what’s hitting Switch soon, as it enters its seventh year of life. We’ll see what’s in store at 6 a.m. PT / 9 a.m. ET on February 21, 2024.

Did Latest Nintendo Direct Hint At Switch Successor Announcement?
Video gamers are almost “trained” to look for “tiny details” about things they see or hear within trailers, reveals, and even the games themselves. After all, Easter Eggs are everywhere, and sometimes, the smallest details can reveal certain things about the project itself. It’s true that sometimes gamers get a bit TOO invested in the small details and make false assumptions, but regarding the latest Nintendo Direct, some fans feel they’ve seen their first tease about the Switch successor, and it’s not where you think it might be. In this case, it wasn’t about the games that were shown but the animations of the Direct itself.

Everything announced at February’s Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase
It’s become a bit of a tradition for Nintendo to drop a Direct presentation every February. That held up this year, but not in the way that some fans expected. Rather than dropping a 40-plus minute presentation highlighting upcoming first-party games, Nintendo released a more casual Partner Showcase today. The 25-minute video, which did not air live, instead highlighted upcoming third-party releases.

Everything announced in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase
Nintendo's February Direct Partner Showcase has come and gone. This presentation was focused around third-party games so, as expected, there was no news on any homegrown Nintendo titles or the Switch 2's expected arrival in early 2025. However, the broadcast was still full of annoucements for games headed to Nintendo Switch from other publishers over the coming six months. Here's a roundup of everything which appeared during the 25-minute show.

Pikachu Van Gogh Card's Restock Arrives This Weekend, Third Wave Likely
You might not think Pokemon teaming up with Amsterdam's Van Gogh Museum would be something fans would be all that excited about, but that's where you'd be wrong. Pokemon revealed a line of products that included prints of the artist's paintings reimagined to include the likes of Snorlax and Sunflora, and best of all, a free Pikachu Van Gogh card with every purchase. Generating so much attention that the card was being resold for north of $120, Pokemon has reprinted the card en masse, and its second wave hits stores this weekend.
