According to unofficial reports, the presentation will be dedicated exclusively to games from third-party publishers. The showcase may indicate the direction of Switch 2's development.
As GameRant reports, this refers to the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase format without the participation of the company's internal studios. In the past, such broadcasts were used to demonstrate projects from third-party developers — from major publishers to mid-budget games.
For Switch 2, such a format looks logical. A Partner Showcase can present projects that will shape the console's lineup for the first one or two years, as well as demonstrate its technical capabilities without being tied to Nintendo's key series.
Rumors also point to possible announcements of ports, updates to well-known franchises, and new games. For Nintendo, this is a way to emphasize support from third-party publishers, which is critical at the launch of any platform.
There is still no official confirmation from Nintendo, but practice shows that such rumors are often confirmed within a few weeks.
