Hold onto your Joy-Cons, because Nintendo just went absolutely nuclear.
Coming hot on the heels of the Zelda anniversary, this latest Direct wasn’t just a routine update—it was a massive, heavy-hitting showcase for the Switch 2. If you were worried about the next generation’s library, those fears are officially dead and buried.
The sheer scale of the announcements is dizzying. We’re seeing massive third-party hits like Monster Hunter Wilds, The Witcher 3, and Resident Evil all getting optimized for the new hardware. But the real heart-stoppers are the Nintendo exclusives:
Kirby is going open world in Kirby and the World Beyond* (2027).
Metroid is getting a 2D revival with Metroid Ravenous*.
- Mario Kart is getting a massive “World Update” dropping today.
From nostalgic GameCube classics like StarFox Adventures getting widescreen support to the absolute chaos of a new Xenoblade Chronicles 3 hero, the message is clear: the Switch 2 isn’t just a minor upgrade; it’s a powerhouse.
Get your wallets ready. You’re going to need them.
