"Fans are greedy for updates on the status of the next Animal Crossing, Smash Bros., The Legend of Zelda, and 3D Mario games. According to recent leaks and rumors, plenty of ports are also in the pipeline for Switch 2 including Resident Evil 7, Red Dead Redemption 2, and more. Cyberpunk 2077 at launch and more recently Star Wars Outlaws have proven that the hardware has enough juice to handle some of the biggest games, if enough TLC goes into the ports."
"When it comes to the Switch 1, Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream and Rhythm Heaven Groove were both announced for the eight-year-old console earlier this year, but aren't expected to arrive until 2026. While plenty of smaller third-party games will probably continue to be ported to both the old and new handheld hybrids, it'll be interesting to see if Nintendo continues bringing some of its newer releases to the older platform or pushes fans to start buying the Switch 2."
Nintendo will host a roughly 60-minute Nintendo Direct on September 12 at 9:00 a.m. ET, streaming on YouTube and Twitch. The presentation will spotlight Switch 2, preview upcoming fall 2025 releases, and offer a look ahead to games arriving on the new hardware in 2026 and beyond. Nintendo will also provide updates for the original Switch, which has sold over 150 million units. Numerous ports are rumored for Switch 2, including Resident Evil 7 and Red Dead Redemption 2, and recent ports like Cyberpunk 2077 and Star Wars Outlaws demonstrate the hardware's capability. Some Switch 1 releases announced for 2026 raise questions about platform support versus encouraging Switch 2 adoption.
