What is a Partner Showcase? A Partner Showcase is a Nintendo Direct featuring developers and publishers that work with Nintendo, rather than first-party games.
Nintendo has a long list of partnerships with major companies such as Square Enix, Atlus, Capcom, EA, and FromSoftware.
We expect a number of upcoming games from these companies to be shown, and the games might also be available on other platforms.
Will the Switch 2 be shown during the Nintendo Direct? Nintendo has announced that it is working on a Switch successor , known by fans as the Switch 2.
However, the upcoming console will not be featured in the August 2024 Nintendo Direct as per Nintendo's Twitter account.
The tweet reads: "Please note, there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during either of these presentations."
The company has said that it will give more news on the console before April 2025.
