It’s that time of year again folks, and finally, all of the speculation and whispers about a new Nintendo Direct have culminated in an announcement of a Partner Showcase happening on Wednesday 21st February 2024.
We all felt that something was coming, and I know that many of us were hoping for a full-blown direct showcase with news of the Nintendo Switch 2 dropping, although if all of the rumours floating around the internet are to be believed, then the Switch 2 might not be dropping until 2025 now anyway.
Still, we’re talking about cold hard facts today, and the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase will be showing on YouTube this Wednesday, which is either tomorrow if you’re reading today, or today if you’re reading tomorrow.
Or yesterday if you missed it, but that’s what our Newsletter is for anyway!
What Time Is The Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase?
The Partner Showcase will drop on YouTube at 2:00 PM for us Brits on Wednesday 21st February.
If you’re in Europe, that’s 3:00 PM, and if you’re in the USA, then you’ll need to be by your computer at 6:00 AM Pacific Time and 9:00 AM Eastern Time.
And if you’re viewing from Down Under, then tune in at 1:00 AM Australian Eastern Time, which will essentially mean the event takes place in the early hours of Thursday morning.
The great thing is that, as you can see from the message in the tweet above, this is an on-demand video and not something that plays out live. So, if you are in Australia and want to set your alarm to have a quick gander at what’s available, you can just scroll through to a few points and see what’s new!
Pick Your Favourite Way To Watch
As always, you can head to YouTube to check out the Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase this Wednesday. We’d usually head to the Nintendo UK channel as that’s where we live, but if you live in America or Spain, then you can always head to the page of your region too!
We’re all wondering what we’re going to see on this new direct – our Content Editor Theo woke up this morning like a rabbit that had drunk 10 red bulls excited about the possibility that Hollow Knight: Silksong and Hi-Fi Rush might finally be dropping.
And to be honest, we all agree with him. Still, we don’t have long to wait to see what Nintendo’s partners have planned for the Switch in the first half of 2024, and you can join us to chat about the event as it happens!
We’ll be live in the Retro Dodo Discord as the event unfolds, chatting about the releases, talking about what we’re excited to see, and hopefully not commiserating Theo for a lack of Hollow Knight.
So please, join us in the chat tomorrow, and let’s talk all things Nintendo!
