By saying that a Nintendo Direct would arrive, the Japanese manufacturer had to end up announcing one. Even though it hasn’t been just about the week, Nate the Hate had thus perfectly predicted that it would be a Partner Showcase and not a big classic presentation. After all, with all the videos recently released regarding Mario vs. Donkey Kong before its launch, the DLC of Splatoon 3 and the future Princess Peach: Showtime!, you didn’t have to be a soothsayer to see that. With the addition of the rumor of a launch of the Switch 2 (or whatever it is called) not before 2025, we already felt that Big N. did not have a lot of cards to play for this year 2024 and this therefore seems to be confirmed.
You will note, however, that compared to the June 2022 presentation and previous ones of its kind, the term “Mini” was removed for the first time. Simple marketing effect to generate interest among the public or a sign that heavy things await us even if they are not games first party signed Nintendowe will soon find out since This Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase will be broadcast this Wednesday February 21, 2024 at 3:00 p.m.. In the program, 25 minutes focused on games published and developed by partners of Nintendowhich will be released on Switch during the first half of the year.
We can already bet on the formalization of Shin Megami Tensei V: Vengeance who has just made headlines. Besides, is the clownery surrounding Hollow Knight: Silksong will finally be entitled to a beautiful conclusion or will we still have to wait? After all, it’s been more than 5 years now since it was announced and we haven’t had any news since last spring…
With the clarification of Xbox having planned to port four games to other platforms, the announcement of a port Hi-Fi RUSH could potentially take place on this occasion. Square Enix being often present at this type of meeting, there would be nothing surprising if one of its future games was introduced or shown. With Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake long announced, fans obviously hope to see it again. Beyond Good & Evil 20th Anniversary Edition (if that is still its title) could find a release date there.
Despite a Level-5 Vision 2024 scheduled for April, the firm could well talk about its games again on this occasion, especially since Megaton Musashi: Wired will be released that month and it would be good to promote it to a wide audience. Some players also hope to have news of the platform game Penny’s Big Breakaway of Private Division And Evening Starwhich made a strong impression upon its revelation.
You can follow this Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase from this article to which we will add the video stream when it becomes available. Do not hesitate to let us know your expectations. If you want to get an OLED model Switch, it is sold for €310.95 on Amazon.
