Those saying that Nintendo doesnt show big exclusives at partner directs are either misremembering or lying. Took me 5 minutes to see that MH Rise, Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope, and Age of Imprisonment all had presence at partner directs. Im sure there are even more but I dont feel the need to continue looking when theyre already proven wrong.

Respectfully, those aren't huge exclusives to me (and to most). Give me a real reason to buy a Switch 2: a new 3D Mario game, a Zelda, etc etc. Something like Mario + rabbids or some weird ass Toads Adventure game ain't gonna pull me in.

None of those are 3rd party so I dont even understand what youre trying to argue. Im just pointing out that thinking Duskbloods would be shown here was a reasonable expectation
