If we follow the track records of previous Nintendo Partner Showcases, we can expect some good launches. The Batman Trilogy was announced last year. Another thing to note here is that Nintendo generally hosts two streams for their Direct showcases.
One in English on theirAmerican YouTubeand another in Japanese on theirJapanese YouTube. Nintendo sometimes exclusively announces Japanese-developed games on the latter channel. So, we suggest keeping an eye on both.
Furthermore, with Xbox confirming thatfour first-party titleswill go multi-platform, we can expect at least one of the games to get an announcement tomorrow. Multiple sources have confirmed that Hi-Fi Rush will launch on Nintendo Switch. As such, we might get an official announcement tomorrow. This seems like the perfect event to do that.
So, what are the games you guys are looking forward to? Is it anything specific that others should keep an eye out for? Let us know in the comments down below.
