No Switch 2 Updates? New Nintendo Direct Will Focus on Games Coming to Original Switch

As the upcoming Nintendo Direct approaches, a Switch 2 rumor teased fans about its spring release. While we're caught between these speculations, Big N fans think that it's time to hear some good news about Switch 2.

Apparently, Nintendo confirmed that no Switch 2 updates will be featured for the March 27 Direct. Instead, we are yet to see more announcements for the original Switch console.

No Switch 2 Updates? New Nintendo Direct Will Focus on

It's only six hours away before the next Nintendo Direct live stream. You can watch it on Nintendo's main YouTube channel at 7 a.m. /10 a.m. EDT.

While the previous discussions favor the hyped Switch 2, the 30-minute presentation will feature nothing but the original Switch and its remaining roster of games.

What Switch Games Are Confirmed So Far?

Nintendo has indicated that this presentation will reveal new games and updates for the original Switch. As of today, "Metroid Prime 4: Beyond" is the only first-party title confirmed to come to the console, according to Polygon's report.

That said, with this new Direct, there is a high chance that Nintendo will release more titles or DLCs to retain players until the next-generation console comes out. Still, Switch 2's exclusive games are left in the dark as of writing.

Aside from first-party titles, there are still numerous third-party developers that have titles planned for release on the Nintendo Switch. This Direct might be where these publishers come forward to showcase their upcoming games, making the console relevant even as its successor draws near.

Although Nintendo is tight-lipped on the details of the Nintendo Switch 2, insiders believe it will be released in late spring or early summer. The firm has already confirmed a Nintendo Direct presentation for the Switch 2 on April 2, when enthusiasts can anticipate comprehensive information on the next-generation hardware and its first batch of games.

One Last Hurrah for the Original Switch

Nintendo Switch 2 leak about pre-orders hints that we're getting close to seeing the Switch 1's successor. As a matter of fact, some players are already considering selling their consoles as a preparation for the new one.

This could be the last time that we might hear news about the original Switch. The April Nintendo Direct will probably focus on the features of the Switch 2 or what titles we can play there soon.
