Failure doesn't mean the game is over, it means try again with experience
Nintendo highlighted three major Switch games that would be released later this year in its most recent financial report. Nintendo continues to support the original platform even though the Switch 2 is receiving the most of the attention. Even though the Switch 2 is coming soon, there are still a lot of games planned for the older hardware because the original Switch was one of the best-selling video game consoles ever.
New games will probably continue to be released on the original Switch for years to come. Even once the Switch 2 hardware is out, Nintendo itself is probably going to keep making games for the original Switch.
- Nintendo plans to continue supporting the original Switch, even with the Switch 2 on the horizon.
- Nintendo recently highlighted three big games coming to the original Switch in 2025.
- They are Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition on March 20, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Pokemon Legends: Z-A.
New Nintendo Games for the Original Switch in 2025:
Pokemon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond has not yet received official release dates from Nintendo, although this is probably going to change shortly. It’s very probable that Pokemon Legends: Z-A will give fans a preview of its gameplay and possibly even confirm its release date at the upcoming Pokemon Presents event on February 27. Regarding Metroid Prime 4, there’s a possibility that the eagerly anticipated first-person shooter will be shown at the anticipated February 2025 Nintendo Direct. However, fans should bear in mind that the likely February 2025 Nintendo Direct will mostly focus on third-party games that are coming to the original Switch this year, according to insiders.

- Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition – March 20
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – TBA 2025
- Pokemon Legends: Z-A – TBA 2025
Numerous reports exist regarding Nintendo’s intentions for the original Switch, some of which indicate that the system will still see at least one major Nintendo release shortly. Even if the release date of the Switch 2 is quickly approaching, 2025 should still be an exciting year for owners of the original Switch.
