Nintendo has continued to deliver on Nintendo Direct showcases, so here are all the Partner Showcase announcements from the Direct announced yesterday.
Last week, it was heavily rumoured that a Nintendo Direct featuring third-party developers for the Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2 would take place on February 5, and Nintendo has delivered. Today, Nintendo aired a Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase that took fans behind the curtain to check out some of the titles coming to Nintendo in the coming year. The difference between Today and other Directs is that the Partner Showcases feature titles that aren’t first-party Nintendo. A new Super Mario title or the next Legend of Zelda takes a backseat to Nintendo’s third-party partners.

In Orbitals, players will have to work together to find solutions and solve puzzles to save their home in this intergalactic puzzle co-op adventure. The title will allow players to team up with two pairs of Joy-Con 2 controllers on a single Switch 2 console via local split-screen co-op or online.
