Nintendo Direct February 2024: every announcement /

On February 21, 2024, Nintendo showcased upcoming third-party games for Nintendo Switch during a Nintendo Direct broadcast – it’s tradition by this point for a Direct to happen around this time of the year.

Among the highlights of the broadcast was the confirmation that Obsidian Entertainment’s RPG Pentiment would be making its way to Nintendo Switch, leaving the exclusivity of Microsoft’s own ecosystem. Grounded, too, leaves those confines and comes to Switch.

As usual, the show was speeding along as if it consumed a golden mushroom right before the start, so here’s everything that was announced at the Nintendo Direct in February 2024.
