Everything announced in the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase

Nintendo's February Direct Partner Showcase has come and gone. This presentation was focused around third-party games so, as expected, there was no news on any homegrown Nintendo titles or the Switch 2's expected arrival in early 2025. However, the broadcast was still full of annoucements for games headed to Nintendo Switch from other publishers over the coming six months. Here's a roundup of everything which appeared during the 25-minute show.

Fresh from Microsoft's confirmation it was bringing more of its Xbox console exclusives to other platforms, the show began with a look at Obsidian's Grounded — where you have to explore a massive garden as a tiny human. Grounded will support online cross-platform multiplayer on Switch when it's released on 16th April.

After this, we entered the dying world of Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist. You take on the role of Lilac as she explores the landscape alongside a homunculus (Fullmetal Alchemist vibes anyone?). Ender Magnolia Bloom will be released on the Nintendo Switch later this year.

Next came a look at Arranger: A Role-Puzzling Adventure. Here, you use a grid to both explore the world and solve puzzles. It's released on Nintendo Switch this summer.

We then entered the realms of fantasy with Unicorn Overlord from Sega. This strategy game will be released on March 8th 2024 and, if it caught your eye, a demo is now avaiable.

We then saw the return of Monster Hunter Stories, which was originally released on the Nintendo DS. This remake is fully voiced, has updated HD graphics and includes a new Museum feature. Monster Hunter Stories will be released in summer 2024.
