With the Nintendo Switch having sold an astounding 150.86 million units to date, there remains a vast audience eager for more content. Even as Nintendo prepares for the release of the Switch 2, fans can look forward to a variety of upcoming titles for the original Switch. Among the anticipated games are 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 launch later this year. Fans have also been eagerly awaiting Hollow Knight: Silksong, originally announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch six years ago. Given the Switch 2's backward compatibility, these titles are expected to be playable on both the original and next-gen consoles.
This upcoming Nintendo Direct might serve as a grand finale for the Nintendo Switch, showcasing the final wave of exclusive titles as Nintendo transitions to the Switch 2. However, with Nintendo's reputation for surprises, there could still be some unexpected announcements in store for fans.
