"The usual suspects are buzzing about an upcoming Nintendo Direct to kick off February. This one will reportedly be a Partner Showcase, so while I wouldn't expect teases for anything wild like a new 3D Mario game, we'll probably got a healthy influx of new Switch 2 ports to help button down the first half of the platform's year. Nintendo traditionally holds a February showcase to preview what's coming and help fill in release calendar slots for its loyal fans."
"But what is Nintendo likely to show? Well, we're still waiting on firm release dates for Elden Ring and Borderlands 4 on Switch 2. The latter was recently rumored to be coming near the end of February. There's also been plenty of smoke about Monster Hunter Wilds making it over to Nintendo's latest console, as well as the port for Final Fantasy VII Rebirth coming sooner than expected. Metaphor: Refantazio, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Final Fantasy XVI also seem like potential candidates."
Expect a February Partner Showcase Nintendo Direct around February 3–5 focused on partner releases rather than first-party reveals. The presentation will likely emphasize Switch 2 ports, with Elden Ring and Borderlands 4 still awaiting firm Switch 2 release dates and Borderlands 4 rumored for late February. Monster Hunter Wilds and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth ports are probable, while Refantazio, Clair Obscur: Expedition 33, and Final Fantasy XVI are possible candidates. Microsoft support remains uncertain, with Call of Duty rumored, a Halo remake unconfirmed, and titles like Sea of Thieves, Diablo 4, Avowed, and Starfield potential ports. New game announcements such as FromSoftware’s Duskbloods and studio side projects are possible.
