I want to see more about Duskbloods, and something about Astral Chain, like a remaster or a sequel.

Nintendo Japan have the best quality trailers of the Direct, if you want to see: https://www.youtube.com/@NintendoJP

More Info:

Indiana Jones and the Great Circle

Fallout 4

Resident Evil 7, 8 and 9

Pragmata

Yakuza Kiwami 3

High on Life 2

007 First Light

Might be a bit early to get more Yakuza games announced considering they only just did Kiwami 1/2 and Kiwami 3 is coming. But I want Infinite Wealth and Pirate Yakuza on SW2 lol.

Trackmania, Dreamlight Valley, Mass Effect, Sims, Planet Coaster/Zoo, Jurassic World 3. Lots of third party games I'm hoping get ported to Switch 2 at some point.

Would also love Switch 2 updates for... Crash Trilogy, Crash 4, CTR, Spyro, Sonic Frontiers...

My wishlist is quite random:

Guardians of the Galaxy (so my friend can experience it lol)

Metaphor- it's too long for me dedicate time in front of my TV on my PS5

Microsoft Stuff- Rare Replay at the front of the list

Wildcard- FFIX announcement

Finally something to look forward to

A new Ace Attorney game is the only thing on my wishlist from a partner direct.
That and unknown new games that could spark my interest.

As expected. That said, my hopes/expectations are The Duskbloods, CoD (among several Microsoft reveals), Rayman, Clair Obscur, Bloober Team’s NS2 project, Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Monster Hunter Wilds, FFVII Rebirth, and maybe a surprise Sony appearence. Maybe Death Stranding 2?

Surprise! Rayman 30th Anniversary Edition Has Been Rated | Nintendo Life

NatetheHate released a new video about the new Direct and He talked about some games like: Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Black Myth Wukong, Expedition, Metaphor, Call of Duty, etc; I'll put the video below.

If the Sonic game for 2026 gets revealed, you guys will know lol. That would send me to the stratosphere— I eagerly await my Sonic news for 2026.

This could be pretty cool. We now have this Partner Direct and some more focused Directs recently. I'm begging for a standard full-fat Nintendo Direct since most Februarys for years now have one. If we don't get a normal one in February, I really hope it happens in March-May. I don't feel like waiting until June or later. Nintendo needs to start building more hype for 2026 (namely late 2026) and some of 2027.
