In case you missed it, the latest Nintendo Direct went live yesterday, July 31, 2025, and it features plenty of trailers and reveals, including brand-new games coming to Switch 2, along with Switch 2 ports of previously released titles.
As the Direct was called a “Partner Showcase,” the stream featured games that are being developed by third-party publishers. While Nintendo didn’t show off the games they’re currently developing the Direct still featured plenty of exciting games for Switch 2 owners.
Here’s a rundown of the highlight reveals and trailers:
