Nintendo will reportedly hold a Partner Direct on Thursday, February 5.
This is according to sources that spoke with VideoGamesChronicle, as well as NatetheHate and GameXplain.
The Nintendo Partner Direct will be focused on third-party games coming to the Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch 1. There will unlikely be any first-party Nintendo games.
The last Partner Direct took place in July 2025 and featured Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Final Fantasy Tactics, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and many more games.
