Nintendo has officially confirmed that a Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase livestream will air tomorrow, February 5, 2026, providing roughly 30 minutes of updates focused on third-party titles for both Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Nintendo Switch.
Nintendo’s messaging indicates that first-party projects will not be the centerpiece of this particular presentation. Instead, attention will be placed squarely on external publishers and developers bringing their projects to Nintendo hardware. This distinction is consistent with the “Partner Showcase” branding, which traditionally highlights third-party collaborations and multiplatform releases.
Even so, discussion surrounding the broadcast has already intensified. Industry chatter points to the possibility of updates on Resident Evil Requiem, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, and Square Enix’s The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales. Another title frequently mentioned in connection with the showcase is FromSoftware’s The Duskbloods, which has remained largely enigmatic since its initial reveal.
While none of these appearances have been confirmed by Nintendo, the general expectation is that the presentation will concentrate on software rather than hardware features, and on practical release information rather than major surprise reveals. For some fans, this focus may temper hopes of seeing new entries in flagship franchises such as Mario or The Legend of Zelda during this broadcast.
That said, the roughly 30-minute runtime suggests a substantial slate of announcements and updates, potentially covering a wide range of genres and publishers. With both Switch and Switch 2 titles on the agenda, the showcase may also offer insight into how third-party developers are approaching cross-generation support and new hardware capabilities.
All details beyond Nintendo’s official statement remain unconfirmed at this time. Viewers interested in third-party developments for Nintendo platforms can tune in at the scheduled time to see what partners have in store.
