Nintendo has made it clear that when introducing the Nintendo Switch 2, exclusive games will play a pivotal role. This perspective was shared in response to a question from a shareholder. They were curious about whether Nintendo will continue releasing new games for the current Switch system after its successor is available in stores.
Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa addressed this by saying, “We’ve already announced that Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are slated for release on the Nintendo Switch in 2025. Given the large player base still engaged with the Switch, if we can create engaging content, we aim to keep bringing out new titles.”
He went on to emphasize the importance of exclusive games, stating, “However, exclusive games are vital when it comes to launching new hardware. With this goal in mind, we’ll explore various strategies to ensure that both the Nintendo Switch and the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 offer compelling experiences for gamers.”
If you’re eager to get more details on Nintendo’s upcoming console, you’ll want to tune into the Nintendo Switch 2 presentation, which will be part of a Nintendo Direct event. It’s scheduled to air at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 2 PM BST / 3 PM CEST on Wednesday, April 2.
As for the Nintendo Switch 2, while it’s set for a global release in 2025, the exact launch date remains under wraps.
