Nintendo has announced an exciting Nintendo Direct focused exclusively on the Nintendo Switch, scheduled for tomorrow, March 27, at 7 a.m. PT. This 30-minute presentation will showcase a variety of upcoming games for the beloved console. It's important to note that Nintendo has explicitly stated there will be no updates regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 during this event. Instead, fans can look forward to a dedicated Nintendo Switch 2 Direct on April 2 at 6 a.m. PT.

With the Nintendo Switch having sold an impressive 150.86 million units to date, it remains a powerhouse in the gaming world, and this Direct is a testament to Nintendo's continued support for the platform.
What can fans expect from this Nintendo Direct? Despite the buzz around the upcoming Switch 2, Nintendo has a robust lineup of games still in development for the original Switch. Titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam are slated for release in 2025, while Pokémon Legends: Z-A is set to launch later this year. Additionally, the long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, initially announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, is expected to be compatible with both the original Switch and the Switch 2, thanks to the latter's backward compatibility.
This week's Nintendo Direct could serve as a grand finale for the Switch, which debuted eight years ago, highlighting Nintendo's final slate of exclusives before the transition to the Switch 2. However, Nintendo might still have some surprises in store for fans, making this an event not to be missed.
