A new Nintendo Direct is set to take place next week, focusing exclusively on third-party games for the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Switch 2. According to sources like NatetheHate and GameXplain, this Partner Direct is scheduled for Thursday, February 5, and promises to unveil exciting titles that are not developed by Nintendo’s internal studios. This event follows a successful Partner Direct held last July, which showcased popular games such as Final Fantasy Tactics and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment.

A Nintendo Direct presentation is reportedly on the horizon for mid-September, sparking excitement among gamers worldwide. With the potential date of September 12, just a day before the 40th anniversary of Super Mario Bros, this event could be a significant moment for Nintendo fans. While the specifics of the presentation remain under wraps, speculation is rife that we may finally receive the long-awaited release date for Metroid Prime 4. The game has been a hot topic since its recent ratings by multiple boards, indicating that its launch is imminent.
