What Fans Can Anticipate
With the Nintendo Switch having sold over 150 million units worldwide, developers continue supporting the system even as attention shifts to its successor. Several high-profile Switch exclusives are still scheduled for 2025:
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
- Professor Layton and the New World of Steam
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A
Notably, the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong maintains its planned Nintendo Switch release despite its multi-platform launch. Switch 2 backward compatibility suggests these titles will be playable on both systems.
A Potential Swansong for the Switch Era
This Nintendo Direct may serve as the console's final major showcase after its remarkable eight-year run, potentially revealing Nintendo's last wave of exclusive Switch titles before transitioning to the next-generation hardware.
However, Nintendo has a history of delivering unexpected announcements, leaving room for potential surprises in this farewell presentation.
