Nintendo Partner Direct live – All the news out of the today’s Nintendo Direct

There’s a Nintendo Partner Direct Showcase later today, which is a very long-winded way of saying there’s a Nintendo Direct happening with a focus on Nintendo’s partners, rather than Nintendo’s own IP. 

After everything that came out of the Xbox Podcast last week, we’d imagine that this is going to be the place where at least some of those “four games” Microsoft promised were coming to other platforms will be announced. 

How to watch the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase

The Nintendo Direct itself is just 25 minutes long, with Nintendo saying that it’ll focus on Switch titles “coming in the first half of 2024 from our publishing and development partners”. 

What time is the Nintendo Direct?

The Nintendo Partner Direct Showcase starts at:

– 6AM PT
– 9AM ET
– 2PM GMT
– 3PM CET

So with that all in mind, let’s take a look at what we could expect to see in that swift 25 minutes.

Let’s start by recapping what Xbox said about bringing games to other platforms last week. 

As part of the Xbox Podcast last week, Phil Spencer said the following:

“We’ve made the decision that we’re gonna take four games to the other consoles. Just four games, not a change to our fundamental exclusive strategy. We’re making this decision for some specific reasons.” 

“We make every decision with the long-term health of Xbox in mind. Long-term health of Xbox means a growing platform, our games performing, building the best platform for creators, reaching as many players as we can.” 

“We’re always looking to learn as a leadership team and to grow, and we think this is an interesting time to use what some of the other platforms have right now to grow our franchises.”
