February Partner Showcase Could Unleash a Switch 2 Port Bonanza

Kotaku reports that Nintendo is expected to open February with a Partner Showcase rather than a full first‑party Direct, likely focusing on Switch 2 ports for the year's first half. The event, rumored for Feb. 3–5, could feature third‑party ports such as Elden Ring, Borderlands 4, Monster Hunter Wilds, and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, with additional chatter about Call of Duty, Halo remakes, Sea of Thieves, Diablo 4, and Starfield ports, though nothing is confirmed and major new exclusives are not anticipated.
