With the Nintendo Switch having sold an impressive 150.86 million units, the platform continues to command a massive audience, ensuring that game developers and publishers, as well as Nintendo, remain committed to delivering content for this iconic console.
What can fans expect from this Nintendo Direct? Nintendo has several titles in the pipeline for the Switch, despite the looming release of the Switch 2. Anticipated games such as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam are still slated for a 2025 release on the Switch. Additionally, Pokémon Legends: Z-A is expected to launch on the Switch later this year. Fans have also been eagerly awaiting Hollow Knight: Silksong, which was initially announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and the Nintendo Switch six years ago. Given the backward compatibility of the upcoming Switch 2, these titles are expected to be playable on both the original Switch and its successor.
This week's Nintendo Direct could serve as a final celebration of the Switch, eight years after its launch, showcasing the last wave of exclusive titles as Nintendo shifts its focus to the Switch 2. However, Nintendo might still have some surprises in store for fans, adding to the excitement and anticipation surrounding this event.
