After Nintendo finally announced it will hold a Partner Showcase Direct dedicated to the new Switch and Switch 2 games coming in the following weeks and months on July 31, 2025. We can watch it at 6 am PT/9 am ET/3pm CET. This will happen worldwide, with the European and Japanese branches also confirming it on social media.
We do know how long this Nintendo Partner Showcase Direct will be, as the announcement confirmed it will spend 25 minutes covering Switch and Switch 2 games. As it involves partners, there won’t be first-party titles. So expect a lot of announcements from companies like Atlus, Square Enix, Capcom, Bandai Namco, and Koei Tecmo. It’s also possible we might see some indie reveals for games like Hades 2 or Hollow Knight: Silksong.
A placeholder YouTube stream is available, so people can set up notifications and prepare ahead of time. Chat is disabled.
It’s been quite a while since we’ve heard about new games from Nintendo. The company usually holds a Direct in June 2025, around when E3 would have appeared. The last major Nintendo Direct appeared in April 2025 and focused on the new console. Ones for specific games, Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, followed in April 2025 and June 2025. The last Partner Showcase appeared in August 2024, so we were due for one of these.
The new Nintendo Partner Showcase Direct will air at 6 am PT/9 am ET/3pm CET on July 31, 2025.
