Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase in July Confirms New Nintendo Switch 2 Third-Party Titles

Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase in July Confirms New Nintendo Switch 2 Third-Party Titles For over a decade, June has reliably brought fans a major Nintendo Direct presentation, showcasing the latest game announcements and updates from the beloved gaming company.

However, 2025 broke tradition with the absence of a June broadcast, fueling weeks of speculation within the gaming community.

Now, Nintendo has officially ended the suspense: via its verified X (formerly Twitter) account, Nintendo of America has announced a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase set for July 31, 2025. According to the announcement, viewers can tune in tomorrow at 6 AM PT for approximately 25 minutes of news and footage focused on upcoming Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 games developed by Nintendo’s third-party publishing partners.

The presentation will be available via Nintendo’s official channels, offering fans a firsthand look at what’s next for both the current and next-generation Switch hardware. Nintendo’s message, shared on its official X account, stated: "Join us for a #NintendoDirect Partner Showcase tomorrow, July 31, at 6am PT! Tune in for roughly 25 minutes of information on upcoming #NintendoSwitch2 and #NintendoSwitch games from our publishing partners." The announcement follows a period of heightened anticipation, especially as recent major first-party releases—such as Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World—have captured headlines alongside the successful launch of Nintendo Switch 2.

Notably, this Partner Showcase will focus on third-party developer projects, offering insight into the broader support for Nintendo’s platforms from studios outside its internal teams. While Nintendo fans have eagerly awaited news about high-profile titles like Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, this presentation shifts attention to the diverse lineup provided by publishing partners.

The event is poised to reveal new collaborations, fresh gameplay footage, and potential release timelines that will shape the coming months for Switch and Switch 2 owners. Industry analysts note that expanding third-party support is crucial to maintaining momentum for Nintendo’s evolving platforms.

With the Partner Showcase, Nintendo continues its tradition of spotlighting not only its own creative efforts but also those of valued external collaborators—a key to the long-term vibrancy of the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 ecosystems. The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase airs live on July 31, 2025, at 6 AM PT.

Fans can watch the stream on Nintendo’s official website and social channels.
