Nintendo could reveal some of its plans as early as this week, according to gaming industry insiders who claimed that a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase could air as early as Thursday, February 5. The rumors came amid a busy start to 2026 for Nintendo, as the company turned its attention to building out its repertoire of games coming to the Switch 2.
During the last week of January, Nintendo hosted two Direct broadcasts dedicated to specific projects, starting with a January 25 video about The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The January 25 Direct gave Mario fans the first look at Yoshi's appearance in the upcoming film. A few days later, on Janaury 29, a 22-minute Nintendo Direct all about the upcoming Switch title Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream went live. Fans looking to let their Mii avatars take the spotlight in this quirky social simulator won't have to wait much longer, as Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream will hit store shelves on Thursday, April 16.
After decades of avoiding anime, LEGO is reportedly planning to launch its third high-profile anime collaboration in a just 7 months.
