When both Xbox and PlayStation wrapped up their first showcase of the year a few weeks ago, many wondered about the absence of a Nintendo Direct Partner event. After all, with the Nintendo Switch 2 being delayed by almost a year, this could mean more games for the popular handheld. However, Nintendo has now announced a Direct showcase, and it's closer than you might think.

Nintendo plans to host a Direct Partner Showcase on February 21, 2024 at 6 a.m. PT for about 25 minutes. In this showcase, third-party developers and publishers will showcase upcoming games for Nintendo Switch. According to the official X Post, these games will launch in the first half of 2024.

It's worth mentioning that since this is a Partner Showcase, we may not see any significant first-party Nintendo titles. However, we can expect prominent third-party titles to receive Switch ports.
