A special event from Nintendo, called “Nintendo Direct,” has been scheduled for later this week, specifically on Thursday, July 31st at 9 a.m. Eastern Time. Nintendo has hinted that this event will be a Partner Showcase, which means it could feature upcoming games for both the new Nintendo Switch 2 and the original Switch console. While specific details about the event are scarce at the moment, leaks earlier in July suggested that such an announcement might occur before the end of the month, and it appears that prediction has come true. The presentation is expected to last approximately 25 minutes.
Despite being unsure about all the specific details that will be shown in the upcoming presentation, there are some potential elements we might catch a glimpse of. Notably, Nintendo has planned to release several third-party games by the year 2025’s end, and this presentation could offer insights into their exact launch dates. One highly anticipated game is Final Fantasy VII Remake, which was initially teased during the April Nintendo Direct event.
It’d be great to learn more specifics regarding upcoming games, but it’s the unannounced games that fans are eagerly anticipating. Now that Nintendo has released a more powerful system, it can accommodate a wider variety of games that might not have been feasible on the Switch without significant cutbacks. Potential candidates for a Switch 2 could include titles like “Star Wars Jedi: Fallen Order” and its sequel. However, many third-party developers have kept quiet about their plans for the Nintendo Switch 2, making this Nintendo Direct an ideal platform to disclose their strategies.
It’s highly anticipated that the presentation will be worth the delay! While some fans may have been hoping for a full Direct featuring updates on games coming directly from Nintendo, this event should still generate enthusiasm. After all, there’s still much uncertainty about what third-party developers have in store for the remainder of 2025. This could potentially encourage more people to purchase a Switch 2, even those who weren’t initially considering it. Here’s hoping we’ll get more information from industry giants like Capcom, Sega, and possibly Konami as well.
It’s likely that we’ll hear about more games coming to the original Nintendo Switch as well as the upcoming Switch 2, given that not everyone has yet upgraded and there are still first-party games scheduled for 2026 on the former. During the last Nintendo Direct of the original Switch era, they announced titles like “Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream” and “Rhythm Heaven Forever.” While these won’t be featured in tomorrow’s showcase, we can hope to learn about other games in development for the remainder of 2025 and beyond.
