@RobLife1 At this point the week beginning April 5th seems the best chance for a Partner Showcase. If one was happening this week, it would've been announced by now meanwhile the following 2 weeks have 1st party releases (Wonder and Galaxy movie respectively).
While Emio did release the same week as the August 2024 Indie World + Partner Showcase, Nintendo did do the other Partner Showcases on weeks there was no 1st party release.
Has there ever been, in the history of Directs, two Partner Directs in a row without a general one in between? I think this is very unlikely.

There has been, but also partner directs only started in 2020 and there haven't been many so we don't have much data.
2020 - 4 partner directs. The only thing close to a general in-between was a Mario 35 anniversary direct so it basically had two partners in a row twice.
2021 - no partner direct
2022 - 1 partner direct
2023 - no partner direct
2024 - 2 partner directs but there was a general in-between
@TrustMeNot Anything is possible since Nintendo often mixes things up, but personally I don't know why they would need another partner direct before a June general direct. Unless their general direct was so packed that it couldn't all fit.
@TrustMeNot@FishyS My thinking behind Partner Showcase prior to June is that there's more than enough already announced 1st party games to get through the summer, all you need is release dates. Meanwhile 3rd party support has a situation where all platforms (not just Switch 2) are very quiet after June including PS5 being quiet after May.
