Partner releases from third‑party developers

- Indiana Jones and the Great Circle
- The Duskbloods

All are slated for release in 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2.

What has already happened

At the beginning of the year, Nintendo held two themed Direct releases:

1. January 25 – “Super Mario Galaxy in Cinema.”
2. January 29 – Social simulator *Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream.*

Thus, by February 5 we expect the first major Direct release of 2026, featuring both Nintendo’s own projects and partner titles for the new Switch 2 console. Official confirmation has not yet arrived, but there is enough information to form an idea of what to anticipate from the event.
