Beyond the confirmed Switch 2 games above, it’s possible that Nintendo will release its slate of upcoming Nintendo Switch games — such as Pokémon Legends: Z-A, Metroid Prime 4, and an unnamed, mysterious Switch Online multiplayer game — as cross-generation titles for both systems.

But when it comes to Nintendo, it always comes down to the games. Regardless of whether the Switch 2 has any revolutionary gimmicks like the last one, or even the Wii, there’s an inherent trust that a new generation of Nintendo hardware will bring with it some of the best-designed titles of the era.

Video game consoles used to be as fun as the games that could run them, but th Switch 2 signals that the era of hardware experimentation is ending.
