Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase Coming This Week

Authore: EvelynUpdate:Mar 14,2026

Nintendo has officially announced a new Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase airing this week, focusing on upcoming Switch and Switch 2 titles from third-party publishers.

The company revealed the broadcast on social media today, confirming a 25-minute runtime for the show.

Mark your calendars for Thursday, July 31 at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm UK time — and as always, IGN will provide live coverage of all announcements as they happen.

Join us for a #NintendoDirect Partner Showcase tomorrow, July 31, at 6am PT! Tune in for roughly 25 minutes of information on upcoming #NintendoSwitch2 and #NintendoSwitch games from our publishing partners.

With the Switch 2 now launched alongside major titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, focus shifts to the console's first-year lineup and third-party support.

As a Partner Showcase, tomorrow's event won't feature Nintendo's first-party announcements. Instead, expect updates on games from external developers. The Switch 2 already boasts strong support with confirmed titles like Borderlands 4 and 007: First Light — but what else might be revealed?

Could we finally get substantial news about Hollow Knight: Silksong before its Gamescom demo — possibly even a release date? Will FromSoftware showcase more of its Switch 2 exclusive The Duskbloods, slated for 2026? And might Activision break its silence about Call of Duty's Nintendo version?

Tomorrow's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase holds all the answers. See you then!
