Nintendo Direct + Indie Showcase Announced for Tomorrow

So it's just indies? Hmm, I'll still watch it, as perhaps they'll announce some more quality indie games coming to the Switch this fall.

There's always at least 1-2 indie games, but it does suck waiting for them though. So many indies now are Switch + PC only for a year these days. Still waiting on Lorelai and the Laser Eyes to even hint at other systems after watching it at multiple Directs. I'm just done buying these games for Switch, but it's still a great place to catch a glimpse of what's coming.

My hope for Silksong and FFT Reborn springs eternal.

I bought a sex doll, but I keep it inflated 100% of the time and use it like a regular wife
Silksong bros here we go again.

Partner showcase could be dire. Funko Pops, Looney Tunes.

Yeah, I'll just stick to the indie showcase, because I don't have high hopes for the Partner showcase.

Clearing the road for that September / October “Future of Switch” direct. At least a man can dream.
I’d unironically like some news on farming / life sims.

Oooooh, well this is a nice surprise.
Almost certainly there will be no general Direct anytime soon, however. For Mario Party, Zelda, and M&L they will do piecemeal Twitter and Youtube drops, alongside press previews.
I really think June was the last full-blown general Direct for Switch games, prior to next-gen hardware.

Nintendo is really holding out on that successor don't they? What the fuck are they waiting for?

I reckon we'll get something September or October. This is them revealing the last Switch only games.

Having said that, expect most exciting first party games to be saved for the Switch 2 reveal. There could be a FE4 remake though.
Might tune in for the partners bit then.

Anyway, I guess this is inline with what that leaker said. But I bet the partner showcase will be 100% japanese b teams games. But hey, considering grizzo is making Zelda and fantasy life is also outsourced, we could see something.
I also like they made super easy to simply skip this one.

Yeah, that’s my thought as well.

What new Switch exclusives do they have left? MP4 might get a new showing. And then it was that remake of Donkey Kong.

Current first party lineup is:
August - Emio
September - TLoZ: Echoes of Wisdom
October - Super Mario Party Jamboree
November - Mario & Luigi Brotherhood
Jan 2025 - Donkey Kong Returns HD
2025: MP4 & Pokémon Legneds ZA
So there is a gap for another 1 or 2 first party titles in December or Q1 next year. After that should be Switch 2 titles.

Gamecube and WiiU trauma.

Except for December, they literally have a first party game scheduled for every single month, thru January. And that's not even including Metroid Prime 4, which is TBD 2025.
But if you're asking about which Nintendo games would be in the Partner Direct, it would be none of these. Partner Directs are mostly third-party with occasional second-party.

Nintendo: “Please note, there will be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor during either of these presentations.”
Wow! Nintendo is holding this thing close! They can only hold out for so long. The closer they get to mass production, the more they risk detailed leaks. Nintendo are not Apple, I highly doubt they want big details leaking before they have a chance to do their official announcement. Realistically it will probably happen in September.

We usually get pretty nice sales after these things even if you're not looking forward to the actual announcements.
There's a few interesting previously announced third party games that we don't have a release date for like Suikoden 1&2 and the new Layton title.
I don't have high expectations for this one, but will still check it out when I get a break tomorrow.
