Nintendo has announced that there will be a Nintendo Direct Mini: Partner Showcase today, and will run for approximately 10 minutes.
Today at 3pm (UK time), we'll debut the first #NintendoDirectMini: Partner Showcase, a new series focused on titles from our development & publishing partners. We'll share a few updates on a small group of previously announced #NintendoSwitch games. pic.twitter.com/4ljZ8I0f3S

The showcase will consist of titles that were already announced, and these will be from development and publishing partners. It will be streamed through YouTube, at 3.00pm BST / 11.00pm JST / 10.00am EST today. There were rumours that we would be getting a Direct from Nintendo some time in July, though we were hoping it would be of the Max variety, rather than the Mini variety.
It’s been ten months since the last proper Direct, and speculation has swirled that we would see Super Mario remasters on the Switch to celebrate the 35th anniversary of the series. The reveal of Paper Mario: The Origami King appeared to affirm these leaks, but we haven’t heard anything further. In any event, we’ll keep you in the loop once we know more.
