If you don’t know, a Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase is an event broadcasted on streaming platforms that showcases upcoming titles from mainly third-party developers. Taking the spotlight from Nintendo’s own IPs entirely.
So, you can expect to see news from games like Elden Ring, Resident Evil Requiem, or Monster Hunter Wilds instead of The Legend of Zelda or Mario games.
Usually there are roughly 2-3 of these each year, and surprisingly, the Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase 2026, the first of the year, also took place in February, much like last year.
My main goal with this post is to gather the info of all the announcements, trailers, and release dates in a single place so I can have it readily available.
Also, I’ll be having some fun and giving my predictions for each, and you can check how right or wrong I was.
