Nintendo has formally announced the next Nintendo Direct, and it’s coming up very soon. The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will take place on February 5, starting at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET. It will be streamed in all the usual places, including YouTube and Twitch, as well as Nintendo Today.
The event will run for about 30 minutes and will focus on third-party Switch and Switch 2 games.
This may not be a surprise to everyone, as a February 5 Nintendo Direct had been rumored for some time. It will be the third Direct of 2026, following a Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct on January 25 and the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct on January 29.
