"This may not be a surprise to everyone, as a February 5 Nintendo Direct had been rumored for some time. It will be the third Direct of 2026, following a Super Mario Galaxy Movie Direct on January 25 and the Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream Direct on January 29. There is no word yet on what games may show up during the February 5 Nintendo Direct, but possibilities include Resident Evil: Requiem and Pragmata, among others."
The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will take place on February 5 at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET and will run about 30 minutes. The stream will be available on YouTube, Twitch, and Nintendo Today. The event will focus on third-party games for the Switch family, with possible appearances from Resident Evil: Requiem and Pragmata. The February 5 date had been rumored and marks Nintendo's third Direct of 2026 after two January presentations. The last Partner Showcase in July 2025 featured Star Wars Outlaws, Octopath Traveler 0, and Final Fantasy Tactics. Sony is rumored to host a State of Play in February, and Microsoft recently ran an Xbox Developer Direct focused on Fable and Forza Horizon 6.
