Nintendo has announced an exciting Nintendo Direct focused on the Nintendo Switch, scheduled for 7am PT on March 27. This event promises around 30 minutes of reveals and updates on upcoming games for the beloved console.

With the Nintendo Switch having sold an impressive 150.86 million units to date, there's no doubt that the platform still commands a massive audience. Despite the anticipation surrounding the Switch 2, Nintendo continues to support the original Switch with a robust lineup of games. Fans can look forward to titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, both slated for release in 2025. Additionally, Pokemon Legends: Z-A is set to arrive on the Switch sometime this year. The long-awaited Hollow Knight: Silksong, initially announced for Windows, Mac, Linux, and Nintendo Switch, is also expected to be playable on both the original Switch and the upcoming Switch 2, thanks to backwards compatibility.
This week's Nintendo Direct may serve as a grand finale for the Nintendo Switch, which launched eight years ago. It could provide a comprehensive look at Nintendo's final lineup of exclusives for the console. However, Nintendo might have a few more surprises in store, making this an event not to be missed.
