As in, today.<\/p>\n<p>Nintendo is describing the broadcast as &ldquo;the first Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase, a new series focused on titles from our development and publishing partners.&rdquo; It&rsquo;ll be about 10 minutes long and provide updates on a &ldquo;small group&rdquo; of previously announced games for the Switch.<\/p>\n<p>While there aren&rsquo;t many Switch games with release dates set, there are quite a few that have been announced that might conceivably qualify for this broadcast. Here are some examples:<\/p>\n<ul>\n<li><em>Metroid Prime 4<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;now being developed by Retro Studios, a Nintendo subsidiary that describes itself as a &ldquo;partner&rdquo;<\/li>\n<li><em>Bayonetta 3<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash; announced in 2017 at The Game Awards, but yet to be shown off<\/li>\n<li><em>The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2 &mdash;&nbsp;<\/em>announced&nbsp;at last year&rsquo;s E3, but almost certainly doesn&rsquo;t count for this Direct unless there&rsquo;s a surprise about who&rsquo;s developing it<\/li>\n<li><em>Shin Megami Tensei V &mdash;&nbsp;<\/em>the latest instalment in Atlus&rsquo; RPG franchise was announced at the Switch&rsquo;s reveal event all the way back in January 2017, and there&rsquo;s been almost no information since<\/li>\n<li><em>No More Heroes 3<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash; this is supposedly releasing in 2020 and has had a couple of teaser trailers, so could well be set for a wider reveal soon<\/li>\n<li><em>Hollow Knight: Silksong&nbsp;<\/em>&mdash; the&nbsp;<em>Hollow Knight<\/em>&nbsp;sequel will be a Switch console exclusive at first, but it doesn&rsquo;t have a release date<\/li>\n<li><em>Bravely Default 2<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash; Square Enix&rsquo;s sequel to the 3DS RPGs is another Nintendo exclusive set for 2020<\/li>\n<li><em>Persona 5 Scramble: The Phantom Strikers<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash; this Switch\/PS4&nbsp;<em>Persona 5<\/em>&nbsp;spin-off sequel is already out in Japan (and pretty good), with no Western release confirmed as of yet<\/li>\n<li><em>Doom Eternal<\/em>&nbsp;&mdash; the Switch version was initially meant to launch day-and-date with other platforms, but it got pushed back to later in the year<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<p>I doubt most of these will show up, but I&rsquo;d be surprised if&nbsp;<em>none<\/em>&nbsp;of them did. Who knows, though &mdash; maybe Nintendo will have something else in store.
