Connections is the latest puzzle game from the New York Times. The game tasks you with categorizing a pool of 16 words into four secret (for now) groups by figuring out how the words relate to each other. The puzzle resets every night at midnight and each new puzzle has a varying degree of difficulty. Just like Wordle, you can keep track of your winning streak and compare your scores with friends.

Nintendo has announced a new Nintendo Direct Partner showcase for later this week on Wednesday February 21.
After numerous rumors about Nintendo airing a new Direct broadcast, a Partner showcase focusing on games from third-party developers and publishers has been confirmed. It should come as now surprise, however, as Nintendo has been traditionally airing Directs annually in February. According to Nintendo's official post on X, the Direct will air on February 21 at 6am PT and will be roughly 25 minutes in length. As said, the broadcast will focus on titles coming to the Nintendo Switch from publishing and development partners in the first half of 2024.

With this week's showcase being a "partner" Direct, odds are high that the broadcast will include the announcement of the heavily-rumored Hi-Fi Rush coming to Nintendo's platform. In addition, there's speculation about Pentiment also being announced for the Switch. Last week, during Microsoft's Xbox business update with Phil Spencer, Sarah Bond and Matt Booty, it was confirmed that, initially, four former Xbox exclusives are coming to rival platforms. Although Spencer didn't name the four titles going multiplatform, chances are high that these games include Pentiment,
Hi-Fi Rush, Sea of Thieves, and Grounded. According to Spencer, however, these games coming to other platforms is a one-off experiment, although future titles coming to rival platforms isn't entirely ruled out.
"I don't think we should as an industry ever rule out a game going to any other platform", Spencer said. "We're focused on these four games and learning from the experience. I don't want to create a false expectation on those other platforms that this is somehow the first four to get over the dam and then the dam's going to open and everything else is coming. That's not the plan today."

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.
