With the Nintendo Switch having sold an impressive 150.86 million units, it remains a powerhouse in the gaming industry. Despite the buzz surrounding its successor, Nintendo is still dedicated to delivering new experiences for the Switch. Fans can look forward to titles such as 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 on the Switch later this year. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, initially announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, is also expected to hit the shelves soon. Given the Switch 2's backward compatibility, these games will be playable on both the original Switch and its successor.

This week's Nintendo Direct might serve as a grand finale for the Switch, eight years after its launch, showcasing Nintendo's final lineup of exclusive titles before transitioning to the Switch 2. However, Nintendo might still have some surprises in store for its dedicated fanbase.
