The Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase for July 2025 concluded the month with new reveals, focusing primarily on the third-party support coming to Nintendo Switch 2.

The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales
Square Enix has debuted a new HD-2D action RPG where you’ll play as Elliot, who goes out on an adventure outside the safe confines of a city protected by a magical spell. He’ll be joined by a fairy as well, who players can control, or even another player in co-op can take control of them.
The Adventures of Elliot: The Millennium Tales is coming to Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026; however, a demo is available now, and a feedback survey will be sent out afterwards to help fine-tune the game before release.
Octopath Traveller 0
A new Octopath Traveller game was revealed, and being titled ‘0,’ I’m led to believe it’s a prequel to the stories in the other games. Not that I think there’s much connective tissue between those two games as is. However, this still looks like the solid RPG-goodness fans have come to expect from this series.
Coming to Nintendo Switch & Nintendo Switch 2 on December 4.
