For the first time since the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo held an official Nintendo Direct event, looking at multiple games coming to the new system. To be more specific, this event was a “Partner Showcase”, featuring roughly 25 minutes of third-party games coming to both the Switch and Switch 2.
Games shown include Madden NFL 26, Octopath Traveler 0, Monster Hunter Stories 3, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, among others. Those looking for more information on first-party games such as Kirby Air Riders, Pokemon Legends Z-A, or Metroid Prime 4: Beyond will have to wait for another event.
The show started at 9am ET/6am PT on Thursday and was updated throughout. That means all of the games below are listed in the order they appeared.
