Later today, the first Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase will air. During the presentation, the company will share updates on previously-announced Nintendo Switch titles coming from Nintendos development & publishing partners. At this time, its unclear what games will be shown during the first Partner Showcase, but fans wont have to wait much longer to find out, as the presentation is set to air at 7 a.m. PT. While fans were hoping to see some new projects announced from the company, it seems that fans will be waiting a bit longer for official confirmation of some of those rumored new games!

It will be interesting to see what gets shown during the presentation! The video will only be about 10 minutes in length, so fans shouldnt expect to see anything too significant (it is a Mini, after all). The development and publishing partners part of Nintendos Tweet leaves a lot of room for interpretation, however. Its impossible to say for certain what video game companies that will encompass.
July 20th had been rumored as the date for a Nintendo Direct, though some had given up hope without an earlier announcement from Nintendo. Some fans will no doubt feel some disappointment about the fact that this wont be a larger presentation, but its quite clear that a lot of hard work and effort goes into these Nintendo Direct videos, and the coronavirus pandemic has likely made it a bit difficult for the company to put in the type of effort that fans are used to seeing. In fact, the most recent video for Super Smash Bros. Ultimate was aired from director Masahiro Sakurais home, as opposed to his normal office. Its clear that there are still a lot of adjustments being made behind-the-scenes!
Fans will be able to see the Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase on Nintendos YouTube channel right here at 7 a.m. PT.
