Dont care. Where are the first parties

 

[keefged4]

Partner showcase FFS Nintendo just update the .ini for the xenoblade games to unlock the framerate and up the resolution already. It's a piece of piss to do with emulation, why is this taking them so long

 

[MrJangles]

Sony and Microsoft announcing their Nintendo lineup

 

[LordOcidax]

I wanted Metroid Release date.

Is going to happen…

Dont care. Where are the first parties

Really?

 

[Fermbiz]

Game-Key Card Showcase

 

[Metnut]

DQ12
FF9 Remake
Silksong
Yakuza Kiwami 2 port
Persona 3 Remake port

It's going to be great.

 

[Kacho]

Really?

We see it on PlayStation too. If it isn't a first party showcase it's a waste of time to them. I don't get it but to each their own.

 

[Robb]

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.

Yeah, most recently exciting stuff like Endless Ocean and Another Code Remastered iirc..

>90% will be 3rd party stuff. Might as well just watch the trailer for the first party thing, if there even is one, afterwards.

 

[Quasicat]

There was that rumor earlier in the month about a bunch of ports and a "one last thing" announcing Animal Crossing. That's all I want.

 

[Mister Wolf]

Please update the Xenoblades.

 

[Warspite]

It will be interesting to see the level of effort put into some of these.

 

[clarky]

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

Yes?

 

[LordOcidax]

We see it on PlayStation too. If it isn't a first party showcase it's a waste of time to them. I don't get it but to each their own.

We are going to see a new trailer and release date announcement for first party titles and probably a teaser.

 

[clarky]

Dont care. Where are the first parties

They just released 2 in the space of six weeks. Metroid before the end of the year.

Some people are never happy.

 

[adamsapple]

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

Someone high up for sure. Not only did he accurately 'predict' that FF16 and 7R would be announced for Xbox, he said that 16 will be shadow-dropped the same day .. and that's exactly what happened.

 

[daclynk]

So that means Sept Direct will be First Party reveals....

 

[MSduderino]

Nate the GREAT, man does not miss

 

[HerjansEagleFeeder]

This train won't stop!

Nintendo killing it with customer communication.

 

[Trunx81]

Partner direct

aka Port direct

 

[Kacho]

We are going to see a new trailer and release date announcement for first party titles and probably a teaser.

If so, great. If not, no big deal.

 

[Gripsx]

Gonna be interesting to see how many of these Partner games gonna be on game key cards

 

[LordOcidax]

Yeah, most recently exciting stuff like Endless Ocean and Another Code Remastered iirc..

>90% will be 3rd party stuff. Might as well just watch the trailer for the first party thing, if there even is one, afterwards.

This partner showcase is necessary… To shut up some folks.

Drama  Thread 'Seems like most third-party developers will not support Switch 2'

Jun 7, 2025

After State of Play and Summer Game Fest, I can't barely remember how many third-party games get announced for Switch 2. For everyone expecting a strong support for it, I think these are bad news.

Direct deniers: How many times does NateTheHate have to be right before you maybe just keep quiet when he says a direct is coming?

 

[Gambit2483]

Partner showcase basically means 3rd party support.

I personally can't wait to see what MS, SEGA, Capcom, Konami, SE, etc etc are bringing to Switch 2

 

[Business]

Was hoping for a Splatoon Raiders release date…

 

[LordOcidax]

People saying that Switch 2 was not going to receive third party games and Nate doubters are going radio silence for a few weeks…

 

[Kacho]

Konami,

It would be cool to see a Silent Hill f port on Switch 2.

 

[nbkicker]

So that means Sept Direct will be First Party reveals....

No there's gamescom Germany in aug which Nintendo said they gonna be present so prob get announcements in aug

 

[Chuck Berry]

Here we groan again

Spoiler

Prime 2 & 3HD, Wind Waker HD and Twilight Princess HD is all I want. Please for the love of christ.

 

[cireza]

Game Key Card Showcase.

 

[LordOcidax]

Game Key Card Showcase.

 

[Oberstein]

25 minutes might be a bit short, considering the presentation will mainly focus on Skyrim Enhanced Version Switch 2 Royal Deluxe Edition.

 

[Topher]

9am ET

Thanks Nintendo. Going to need to find a supply closet to hide in during work hours

 

[cireza]

Got the console at launch, still waiting to pick my first game. Third party publishers need to make an effort otherwise I won't be buying anything from them.

 

[Emedan]

1st party direct can't be far behind

 

[tkscz]

Partner direct is very necessary right now considering it feels like we keep getting third party announcements but no Switch 2 versions.

While I like indie games, hoping this isn't mostly full of indies.

 

[FoxMcChief]

Partners? Is this where we see our first Sony game for the Switch 2?

 

[LordOcidax]

25 minutes might be a bit short, considering the presentation will mainly focus on Silksong.

Fixed for you.

 

[Topher]

I'm just hoping this isn't a bunch of ports.

 

[Kacho]

While I like indie games, hoping this isn't mostly full of indies.

Did indies even get dev kits before June?

 

[BennyBlanco]

Can we please get Xenoblade 60 fps patches. Or maybe Duskbloods gameplay.

 

[LordOcidax]

Partner direct is very necessary right now considering it feels like we keep getting third party announcements but no Switch 2 versions.

Indies have their own direct.

 

[Celcius]

I wish we could get some 4K ports of the Vanillaware games

 

[Gambit2483]

I'm just hoping this isn't a bunch of ports.

I wouldn't expect too many exclusives.

That said the more support the better. I'm not exactly going to be disappointed if Konami announces MGS Delta or Silent Hill for Switch 2

 

[Robb]

I'm just hoping this isn't a bunch of ports.

 

[Woopah]

Nothing on Metroid but potentially we could see Hyrule Warriors 3 or Kirby Air Riders.

Either way, I'm glad it's focusing on third party as that is what mediocre right now. The first party line up for 2025 is already strong.

 

[UltimaKilo]

There goes my hope for an Eternal Darkness remaster or sequel. Pandora's Tower and The Last Story also deserve remasters.

Hopefully Nintendo makes some additions to the GameCube lineup.

 

[sigmaZ]

Partner Direct...

 

[FoxMcChief]

I'm just hoping this isn't a bunch of ports.

I think it's safe to assume that's what this direct is mostly going to be. Which I think is a good thing, as the previous Switch didn't see too many third party ports.

Look at WWE2k25 for example on the Switch 2. The series is finally feature and graphically comparable on the Switch 2 and the PS5, with the Switch 2 version even loading faster.

 

[spookyfish]

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

"Please be excited for all of these game Keycards."
