Nintendo has announced an exciting Nintendo Direct focused exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, set to stream live tomorrow, March 27, at 7 a.m. PT. This event promises around 30 minutes of thrilling updates on upcoming games for the beloved console. Notably, Nintendo has made it clear that there will be no updates about the Nintendo Switch 2 during this presentation, as that will be covered in a separate Nintendo Switch 2 Direct scheduled for 6 a.m. PT on April 2.

So, what can fans expect from this Nintendo Direct? Despite the looming release of the Switch 2, Nintendo still has an impressive lineup of games in development for the current Nintendo Switch. It's worth noting that the Switch has achieved phenomenal sales, reaching 150.86 million units sold to date. This massive audience is a significant draw for video game publishers, developers, and Nintendo itself, ensuring continued support for the original console.

Among the anticipated titles still slated for the Switch in 2025 are Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam. Additionally, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set to launch on the Switch sometime this year. Fans have also been eagerly awaiting Hollow Knight: Silksong, which was announced six years ago for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch. Given the Switch 2's backward compatibility, these games are expected to 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 slate of exclusive titles as the company transitions to the Switch 2. However, Nintendo may still have some surprises in store for fans, making this an event you won't want to miss.
