Nintendo Direct for February 2024 Date and Time Confirmed
- Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will air February 21 at 9:00 am Eastern, focusing on third-party Switch games for early 2024.
- Highly-anticipated titles like Penny’s Big Breakaway are rumored to be included in the presentation.
- The showcase offers fans a glimpse of the Switch’s future.
Following weeks of speculation and guessing by fans and insiders, the long-awaited February 2024 Nintendo Direct was revealed as a Partner Showcase that will air on Wednesday, February 21, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern. The upcoming Nintendo Direct will run for approximately 25 minutes and will focus exclusively on third-party Nintendo Switch titles that are expected to launch within the first half of 2024.
The news came with just under two days’ notice, as Nintendo took to social media to put out word about the upcoming Partner Showcase. While rumors and speculation surrounding the upcoming Nintendo Direct continued to make the rounds in the weeks leading up, one of the more popular guesses involved Nintendo potentially postponing the Direct in light of the Xbox Podcast that aired on February 8. The podcast revealed that four of Microsoft’s IPs would appear on other hardware in the future, but did not disclose what they officially were. While Nintendo is unlikely to confirm or deny if Xbox was the reason behind the delay, that has not stopped the company from giving fans a taste of the future.

After the delay of a highly-anticipated announcement, Nintendo stocks take a dip, though analysts assure traders that prices will recover.
The highly-anticipated Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will go live on the morning of Wednesday, February 21, at 9:00 a.m. Eastern, and will last about 25 minutes. The Partner Showcase will give fans a glimpse of third-party titles coming to the Switch in the first half of 2024. According to leaks surrounding the Partner Showcase, one of the featured titles will be Penny’s Big Breakaway, a 3D platformer by Private Division, the same studio behind the Kerbal Space Program series. At the time of writing, Penny’s Big Breakaway is slated to release in early 2024 for the Switch and other platforms, so fans will have to wait and see if it will appear during the broadcast.

The fact that this will be a Partner Showcase and not a general broadcast means that titles such as Princess Peach: Showtime and Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door will not be shown. Last week, Nintendo’s latest financial report put the spotlight on those two titles, plus Metroid Prime 4, Mario vs. Donkey Kong, and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD, all of which are slated to arrive in the future. Though Metroid Prime 4 still does not have a release window or date, the fact that it made the financial report should give fans reason to be cautiously optimistic about its future.
With a vast slate of titles coming to the Switch in 2024 and beyond, Nintendo fans will have plenty of content to sink time into soon. Only time will tell what Nintendo’s plans are after the Partner Showcase.
