As always, it is wise to treat these rumors with caution until Nintendo officially confirms the date and time of the broadcast.

The most recent Partner Showcase aired last summer, highlighting titles like Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Octopath Traveler 0, alongside ports of Persona 3 Reload and Star Wars Outlaws. While first-party icons rarely take center stage here, spin-offs can still appear; the previous event featured Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, a project handled by Koei Tecmo Games.

Possible candidates for the upcoming showcase include updates on Indiana Jones and the Great Circle, Elden Ring, and the long-rumored Resident Evil Requiem. Other potential appearances include Fallout 4 and 007: First Light. If the rumors hold true, Nintendo usually keeps a few unexpected surprises tucked away to round out the show.

In related news, Nintendo has clarified that Metroid Prime 2 and Pikmin 2 are not currently being added to the Switch Online catalog, stating: “We apologize for any confusion caused.”
