Everything Announced At The February Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase

A new Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase aired this morning, and we got a smattering of both new reveals and familiar games finding their way onto the Switch ecosystem. We're rolling into the second year of the Nintendo Switch 2, and it seems like the new console's pulling in quite a few third-party games and ports. Here's everything we saw today, rounded up if you missed the live show.

Orbitals - Summer 2026 (Switch 2)

The charmingly retro anime co-op puzzler Orbitals has a launch window for its Switch 2-exclusive debut. Shapefarm and publisher Kepler Interactive are targeting Summer 2026 for the space-faring adventure, and today's gameplay breakdown looked pretty darn good. Those looking for a new co-op game to play through with a partner or pal should probably take note.

Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse - February 19, 2026 (Switch)

Square Enix's niche but beloved adventure Paranormasight is getting a follow-up, in Paranormasight: The Mermaid's Curse. The new entry looks to have more of the same scares and flowchart-hopping story one would hope for, and we won't be waiting long, either. The investigation will get underway in just two weeks.

Captain Tsubasa II: World Fighters - 2026 (Switch)

Who doesn't love the theatricality of anime boys playing soccer? Captain Tsubasa looks to bring all that competitive fire to the Switch later this year, with the latest entry in the hyped-up sports RPG.

Tokyo Scramble - February 11, 2026 (Switch 2)

Has this ever happened to you? You're on a train, commuting, having a normal day, until a cave-in suddenly sends you tumbling into an underground world filled with reptilian monsters that all want to hunt you down. Well, maybe you'll get some tips for survival from Tokyo Scramble, a new survival horror game arriving on February 11, 2026.

Valheim - 2026 (Switch 2)

I'm sure at least a few of you have fond memories of building a hearth and home in Valheim, the viking survival game that became the big new thing on PC. If you'd like an excuse to return to the forests, seas, and strongholds, it's coming to Switch 2 later this year.

Hollow Knight Nintendo Switch 2 Edition - Today (Switch 2)

If you've been itching for a Hollow Knight replay after finishing Silksong, you now have a great excuse. A Switch 2 version of Hollow Knight, with enhanced visuals and improved framerate, arrives on the new Nintendo handheld today. If you already own the Switch version of the game, the Switch 2 upgrade is free.

eFootball Kick-Off! - Summer 2026 (Switch 2)

If anime-styled soccer isn't your thing, then eFootball is here to give you real-life players and a world tour to compete in. The latest eFootball arrives on Switch 2 sometime this summer.

It's worth checking out, and according to our recent hands-on preview, it runs pretty well, too.

Turok Origins - Fall 2026 (Switch 2)

Turok is back, which is huge news for anyone named Turok. Turok Origins pits players against an alien threat, giving you the technology to take down both dino foes and alien warriors, and it will head to the Switch 2 sometime in Fall 2026.

Kyoto Xanadu - Summer 2026 (Switch)

Falcom's Xanadu series continues with Kyoto Xanadu, an action RPG where students improve their stats, hang out with friends, and dive deep into the depths of the mysterious Xanadu. It's set to arrive on Switch and Switch 2 sometime this summer.

Digimon Story Time Stranger - July 10, 2026 (Switch)

Digimon Story Time Stranger seems like a perfect fit for handheld systems, so it's great to see it heading to Switch and Switch 2 this July. Switch 2 owners get options for either Quality or Performance modes too. Monster taming RPG fans should keep an eye out for this on July 10, 2026.

Granblue Fantasy: Relink - July 9, 2026 (Switch 2)
