[Werewolf Jones]

Switch 2 finally getting some real game announcements??

 

[TheChadOfGaming]

Partner direct rip

 

[DenchDeckard]

This train won't stop!

Nintendo killing it with customer communication.

 

[LordOcidax]

 

[touchfuzzy]

Partner Showcase mellows the hype quite a bit when Nintendo themselves have a lot of first party stuff they should be talking about…

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Nate never misses.

 

[Gripsx]

Well there it is.

Partner Direct is good I want to see the 3rd party stuff.

Show me more Duskblood stuff

 

[Baemono]

So 3 PM CEST ?

 

[Giallo Corsa]

Please be good/show something substantial...

 

[Hookshot]

Fuck partners. Give me a Metroid date and MKW DLC.

[Punished Miku]

Final Fantasy Tactics translation deep dive

 

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Partner direct rip

This was always possible considering there are barely any third party announcements for Switch 2 but plenty of leaks along with Nintendo usually having their own first party focused Direct every September.

 

[Wastelander92]

At last, Skyrim Switch 2 version

 

[nbkicker]

Another miss do u really buy a switch to play third party games that look 100x better on a ps5 or pc

 

[LordCBH]

Do I dare get my hopes slightly up for a FF9 remake announcement for a 97th time?

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

Let's see them 3rd party announcements. Hoping for something good.

 

[kruis]

Partner showcase? Hype deflated.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Partner direct is interesting. I wonder if MP is getting delayed out of 2025.

Do I dare get my hopes slightly up for a FF9 remake announcement for a 97th time?

Silksong release date maybe?

 

[Labadal]

A few jrpgs would be interesting.

I mean 3rd party exclusives are a thing.
also you forgot about duskblood?

 

[Mr Hyde]

 

[DragoonKain]

Finally get a MP4 launch date?

 

[Go_Ly_Dow]

Partner showcase more hype than Nintendo 1st party (minus Monolith-Soft).

 

[proandrad]

Are they finally going to start updating some of their games with switch 2 patches? The Xenoblade games are in desperate need of some 60fps love.

 

[AJUMP23]

Partner Direct. Indie games galore.

Hopefully something for everyone.

 

[analog_future]

Partner Showcase

 

[adamsapple]

All you Nate haters repent now.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

All you Nate haters repent now.

His source has to be someone who works at a third party studio/publisher?

 

[Diseased Yak]

At last, Skyrim Switch 2 version

I'd.... I'd buy that.

 

[LordOcidax]

Fuck partners. Give me a Metroid date and MKW DLC.

A Nintendo partners direct doesn't means that Nintendo is not going to announce anything related to first party games… . Is this your first Nintendo Partners direct?

 

[Gripsx]

Elden Ring shadowdrop maybe?

 

[Deerock71]

Partner showcase more hype than Nintendo 1st party (minus Monolith-Soft).

I expect many unannounced 3rd party titles.

 

[Salz01]

I wanted Metroid Release date.

 

[TheMule1983]

Hoping for a FF 7 release date and Persona 3 Reload.

Oh and a Skies of Arcadia remaster.

 

[asdasdasdbb]

Elden Ring shadowdrop maybe?

I'd say a release date at least.

 

[daclynk]

 

[Saber]

Cool but...since it's a partner Direct it will most likely be about ports and "Switch 2 versions". Guess this time I will pass.

Really because this is exactly what we expected to happen. This is phase 2:

EXCLUSIVE - Nintendo Switch 2 Will Have a 3-Phase Launch Plan For Its Games

With Nintendo Switch 2 just one week from its official full reveal, this year's annual GDC was buzzing with talk around its launch.

insider-gaming.com

You see, Nintendo has PLANS. I know we are used to MS and Sony scrambling around backstage right up until the last minute trying to decide what to show us but just trust that these Nintendo rollouts have been planned for months or years and are properly planned and released in such a way as to pace their releases/announcements for maximum efficiency/hype. I want it all now too but patience is a virtue that will pay off in the end.

 

[ReyBrujo]

NateTheHate redeemed.

 

[Robb]

Partner Showcase

 

[Hyet]

Next Tales of Remaster lets gooooo

 

[Astray]

Looking forward to what they announce.

Nintendo really does well with their drip feed of announcements, and it honestly behooves Sony and even Valve to do similar.

NateTheHate redeemed.

Did he need redemption? Man has been the best non-GAF leaker this gen.

 

[Sephimoth]

Partner direct

aka Port direct

[LordOcidax]

Some people acting like being a partner showcase is a bad thing or something is funny. Remember that Nintendo makes new first party announcements in partners showcase too.

 

[Tiago Rodrigues]

Nate has always mostly been reliable. This was always coming.

 

[Mr Hyde]

Since it's a partner showcase I would like to see more of Final Fantasy 7 Intergrade and Elden Ring in action. Framerates/resolution/stuff like that.

A preview of Duskblood would be cool too, since it's a high profile exclusive.

Resident Evil Requiem would be awesome. And when you're at it, announce the whole slate of recent entries and remakes of RE.

Newer stuff like Silent Hill F and Silent Hill 2 wouldn't be too bad either. Or stuff like Hell is Us, Cronos or Wu Chang: Fallen Feathers.

I expect a lot of stuff from Microsoft. They supported the Switch pretty well and I bet they are eager to show some love for the Switch 2 as well.

An Announcement from SIE would be funny too, if only for the meltdowns it would bring.

 

[Kacho]

Can't wait to see more third party offerings on Switch 2. Should be an interesting show.
