The summary of all the announcements (Indiana Jones, Kyoto Xanadu…)


Here you will find all the announcements from the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, with all the videos and information about the games presented.

Orbitals

  • Release date : summer 2026

So we start with the imitation It Takes Twoa completely cooperative game where we follow the adventures of a duo in an asteroid field, all with an old Japanese anime aesthetic. We see here that each character will have their own tasks to accomplish, just like the Hazelight games. The concept is therefore not unknown, but the charm of the game is undeniable.

Paranormasight: The Mermaids’ Curse

  • Release date : February 19, 2026

New episode for the saga Paranormasight with Paranormasight: The Mermaids’ Cursewhich this time will take us into the depths of the ocean with sordid stories to discover. In addition to the interrogation part with the different characters, here you will have to take your courage in both hands to explore the seabed in first person view.

Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters

The license Captain Tsubasa returns with a new episode based on the foundations of the game released in 2020. We will find more players than ever, with special attacks as exuberant as ever, and this sequel seems to focus on the global competition (even if that was already a bit the case in the first).

Tokyo Scramble

  • Release date : February 11, 2026

We were initially afraid that it was a porting of the awful Code Purplebut phew, it’s rather the next game from the Binary Haze Interactive studio (Ender Lilies/Magnolia). Here you will play as a young woman stuck in the Tokyo subway, which hides dinosaurs that appear out of nowhere. The particularity of the game is to let us play in multiplayer, letting someone control the character, then another person to control the camera, then another to control the actions. Enough to create a happy mess.

Valheim

Yes, in 2026, we are still talking about Valheim. The Viking survival game will be entitled to its Nintendo Switch 2 version, which we were able to see on video, even if Iron Gate is not yet ready to give a precise date and is content to tell us that the game will arrive on the Nintendo machine this year.

Hollow Knight

  • Release date : Available

Team Cherry had already mentioned the wish to release a Switch 2 version of the first Hollow Knightwhich would be entitled to some improvements. It’s now done since this version is available today, and it is free for everyone who owns the Switch version.

eFootball Kick-Off!

  • Release date : summer 2026

Konami continues to power eFootball with new content, and it is now via your Switch 2 that you will be able to enjoy it with eFootball Kick-Off!, which will undoubtedly be perfect for enjoying the international competition while watching the World Cup matches this summer.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales

  • Release date : June 18, 2026

Riding on the HD-2D aspect so popular at Square Enix, The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales has a lot of charm for it and has the merit of offering something other than a turn-based RPG. The action-RPG has finally revealed its release date, and not to spoil anything, you can play the title’s demo via the eShop.

Super Bomberman Collection

  • Release date : Available

If you love Bomberman, this compilation is for you. Super Bomberman Collection is released today on both Nintendo Switches and will offer you 7 games with no less than 12 versions in total, with some new features along the way such as a Boss Rush mode and other options.

Final Fantasy VII Rebirth

  • Release date : June 3, 2026

Just a few days after the release of the Switch version of Final Fantasy VII Remakeits sequel is already preparing to land on the Nintendo console. We can see here that some graphical concessions will be necessary for the game to run, but at first glance, the result seems correct. The release is scheduled for just before the start of summer.

Pragmata

  • Release date : April 24, 2026

Like many other Capcom games, Pragmata sticks his head where he can during every important showcase lately. Its Switch 2 version seems very clean in any case, and you will have the opportunity to test it today with a playable demo.

Turok Origins

  • Release date : fall 2026

Turok will be back soon with Turok Originsheaded by Saber Interactive, which is enough to tempt you. We were able to see a new extract of the game which will be playable in both first person and third person views, with plenty of customization options to decimate aliens en masse.

Kyoto

  • Release date : summer 2026

After Tokyoplace at Kyoto. This new episode has been a long wait since its semi-announcement in 2024, and here it is now officially presented. Between very dynamic battles and the life of high school students, the game should not disorient fans, but revisiting the license after so much time away should delight them. A release is also planned for PS5.

Digimon Story: Time Stranger

  • Release date : July 10, 2026

It was a port party during this Nintendo Direct, so Bandai Namco took the opportunity to announce that its Digimon Story: Time Stranger will arrive on Switch, but also on the first Switch. However, it is on Nintendo’s latest console that the game will be more comfortable, giving you the choice between a 4K/30 fps mode and a 1080p/60 fps mode.

Granblue Fantasy Relink: Endless Ragnarok

  • Release date : July 9, 2026

Released two years ago on PC and PS5, the action-RPG Granblue Fantasy Relink returns in a more complete version on Nintendo Switch 2. You will find all the updates already released for the game, with additional characters and more bosses to fight.

Monster Hunter Stories 3

  • Release date : March 12, 2026

Capcom had a lot of games to present during this showcase, including Monster Hunter Stories 3 who stopped by to say hello, simply to announce the release of a free demo (the progress of which can then be transferred to the final game), available today on the eShop.

Arcade & Console Archives

Nintendo wanted to push retro gaming a little with several announcements to remember, like Arcade Archive 2 Rave Racer which will arrive on February 26, while Doraemon is planned for later this year. We were also surprised to learn that Cool Boarders And Ninja Gaiden II: The Dark Sword of Chaos both released today on the eShop.

Resident Evil Requiem

  • Release date : February 27, 2026

We couldn’t escape yet another presentation of Resident Evil Requiemeven if we have already seen too much of the game. Capcom had nothing very, very new to present to us given that the sequences seen here were taken from the latest previews of the game, but the publisher has finally lifted the veil on the amiibo of Grace and Leon.

Fallout 4: Anniversary Edition

  • Release date : February 24, 2026

Bethesda closed the showcase with no less than three announcements, including ports already announced. So we start with Fallout 4: Anniversary Editionwhich will arrive timely on Switch 2 in just a few days, now that season 2 of the TV series has just ended.

Indiana Jones and the Ancient Circle

  • Release date : May 12, 2026

Another port already announced in the past by Bethesda, that ofIndiana Jones and the Ancient Circle which shows that he will not make that many concessions on the Nintendo console. We now know that this port will arrive, and it will be this spring.

The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered

Latest announcement from Bethesda, and last announcement in short, The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion Remastered which will also find its way to the Switch 2. Nothing very new here, it will be the same version as elsewhere with all the DLC, but with the possibility of playing on the go of course. The release is planned for this year.

In addition to all these announcements, Nintendo has released a few port dates like that of Tales of Arise which will arrive on May 22 on Switch 2; Disney Dreamlight Valley and its Switch 2 version scheduled for March 25; or the announcement of Culdcept Begins for July 16. So much for this Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase, which unfortunately will not have shown the From Software games and which will have been content with quite a few ports, some of which were already announced.
