These developments promise to expand Nintendo's iconic IPs, impacting not just the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, but also extending into real-world experiences. Let's dive into what Nintendo has in store.
Nintendo's financial report confirms the release of several highly anticipated first-party titles in 2025.

Additionally, Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond are set to hit the shelves this year, though specific dates are yet to be announced.
The excitement doesn't stop there. Nintendo has scheduled a Nintendo Direct for Wednesday, April 2nd, 2025. While the exact broadcast time will be announced later via Nintendo's official website and social media channels, this event is expected to focus heavily on the Nintendo Switch 2. Gamers are eagerly anticipating more details on Switch 2-exclusive titles, hoping for some exciting reveals and teasers.
The much-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch in the latter half of 2025. In preparation, Nintendo is organizing Nintendo Switch 2 Experience events across 15 global locations, including New York, Tokyo, and Amsterdam, starting in April.
