Nintendo has emphasized the importance of exclusive games as it gears up for the debut of the Nintendo Switch 2.
This was highlighted in a response to a shareholder who inquired about the continuation of new game releases for the existing Nintendo Switch after its successor hits the market.
“We have so far slated Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond for a 2025 release on the Nintendo Switch. Given the sizable audience that still engages with the Nintendo Switch, we aim to develop and release compelling software titles,” stated Nintendo president Shuntaro Furukawa.
He continued, “However, exclusive titles are key to the success of new hardware launches. Considering this, we’re exploring various strategies to ensure that both the Nintendo Switch and its successor attract a wide range of consumers.”
More details about the upcoming console will be unveiled during a Nintendo Direct presentation dedicated to the Nintendo Switch 2. This event is scheduled to stream at 6am PT / 9am ET / 2pm BST / 3pm CEST on Wednesday, April 2.
The worldwide launch of the Nintendo Switch 2 is slated for 2025, though an exact date has yet to be announced.
