Nintendo has confirmed the rumored Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase is, in fact, taking place later this week on February 5, 2026.

Rumors of a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase arose last week, and it turned out to be on the money, so apologies to the fans disappointed that we won't be finding out about a new Mario or Zelda. Nintendo confirmed via the Nintendo Today app that the showcase will air later this week on Thursday, February 5 at 6am PT | 9am ET | 2pm GMT and will run for "roughly 30 minutes."
