With the Nintendo Switch having sold an impressive 150.86 million units to date, there's a vast audience eager for more content. Despite the upcoming release of the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to support the original Switch with a robust lineup of games. Fans can look forward to titles 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 expected to launch on the Switch later this year. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, announced six years ago, is also set to grace the Switch, alongside Windows, Mac, and Linux platforms. Given the Switch 2's backward compatibility, these games are expected to be playable on both the current and next-gen consoles.
This week's Nintendo Direct might serve as a final showcase for the Switch, eight years after its launch, highlighting Nintendo's last major exclusives before transitioning fully to the Switch 2. However, Nintendo might still have some surprises in store for fans. Stay tuned to see what's in store for the Nintendo Switch's future.
