With the Nintendo Switch having sold an impressive 150.86 million units, it's evident that the platform still commands a vast and dedicated audience. Despite the looming release of the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to support the original Switch with a robust lineup of upcoming titles. Fans can look forward to hearing more about eagerly anticipated games like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, both slated for release in 2025. Additionally, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is set to arrive on the Switch sometime this year. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, originally announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, is another title to watch for.
It's worth noting that the Switch 2 will be backward compatible, meaning all these games will be playable on both the current Switch and its successor. This week's Nintendo Direct could serve as a celebratory showcase for the Switch, marking its final major slate of exclusives eight years after its launch. However, knowing Nintendo's penchant for surprises, fans might be treated to a few unexpected announcements as well.
