Nintendo Direct reveals games for Nintendo Switch.

The latest edition of Nintendo Direct , shown this Thursday (27), presented a robust sequence of news for Nintendo Switch . The program included releases up to 2026 and confirmed the arrival of a new free app, Nintendo Today!, aimed at mobile phones. The platform will function as an official communication channel, bringing together news, videos, comics and exclusive content from the company's main franchises.

Available in digital stores starting today, Nintendo Today! will also become the main source of information about the highly anticipated Nintendo Switch 2 , scheduled for release on April 2nd. In addition, a new virtual game card has been announced . This feature will allow players to lend and receive digital games between different systems, facilitating sharing among members of the same Nintendo Family Account.

The Switch gets a boost with established franchises and new offerings for the audience.

Among the announcements, new titles and remasters occupied a large part of the presentation. Pokémon Legends: ZA , scheduled for the end of 2025, will take players back to Lumiose City, now shrouded in urban tensions and nightly duels. The story places the player in the middle of a redevelopment project led by the Quasartico Inc. company, while experienced trainers compete in the ZA Royale tournament. The game promises an engaging narrative with changes in setting between day and night, directly influencing gameplay.

Another highlight was Metroid Prime 4: Beyond , still without an exact release date, which features the heroine Samus Aran on an unknown planet called Viewros. There, she acquires unprecedented psychic abilities, opening up new possibilities for exploration and combat. Nintendo promises a more narrative approach and refined mechanics, combining classic action with modern elements.

The Nintendo Today! app unites fans and content on a single platform.

The Nintendo Today! app emerges as a new link between the brand and gamers. Available for Android and iOS devices, the app will function as a kind of "interactive calendar" for the company's franchises. In addition to videos, comics, and updates on games in development, it will also host exclusive content following the announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2, scheduled for April 2nd.

The goal is to centralize experiences in an accessible, free environment connected to the Nintendo Account ecosystem. With this initiative, the company expands its digital presence beyond consoles and strengthens engagement with different generations of gamers.

Virtual game card transforms the way digital games are shared.

Scheduled to arrive via a system update at the end of April, the virtual game cartridge is a groundbreaking solution that brings the digital world even closer to the convenience of physical cartridges. The feature will allow users to "eject" a digitally purchased title from one console and load it onto another, as long as it's linked to the same account or family group.

In addition to making it easier to manage games across devices, the new feature allows for temporary borrowing via local connection . Each loan lasts for two weeks and will automatically end, returning the game to its original owner. This functionality will also be available on the Nintendo Switch 2 from launch .

Partnerships strengthen catalog with diversity and nostalgia.

The event was also marked by a wide variety of games developed in partnership with global studios. Among them, Tamagotchi Plaza arrives in June with a nostalgic proposal to manage shops in a virtual city.

Meanwhile, MARVEL Cosmic Invasion focuses on cooperative beat 'em up action, bringing together icons like Spider-Man, Captain America, and Wolverine in pixelated battles.

For RPG fans , DRAGON QUEST I & II HD-2D Remake delivers a fresh look to the classics of the Erdrick saga, while RAIDOU Remastered Shin Megami Tensei series titles with improved graphics and updated .

Also in the realm of re-releases, SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered and PATAPON 1+2 REPLAY join the list of titles with retro appeal, but modernized for today's audience.

Immediate releases, highly anticipated premieres, and innovative experiences.

Some of the announced titles are already available starting today, such as Rift of the NecroDancer, Disney Villains Cursed Café, and SaGa Frontier 2 Remastered . Others, like Witchbrook, The Eternal Life of Goldman, and Shadow Labyrinth , will arrive by the end of the year, offering a mix of action, fantasy, puzzles, and magical life simulation.

For those who prefer relaxing and immersive experiences, all three games in the Monument Valley franchise will be released on the Switch , including the brand-new Monument Valley 3, which focuses on maritime navigation and expanded exploration. The package containing the first two chapters arrives in April.

Switch 2 is starting to take shape with an announcement expected in April.

With the release schedule in full swing and a new cross-console connectivity feature, the Nintendo Switch is preparing for a strategic transition to its next generation. The presentation scheduled for April 2nd at 6 AM (Pacific Time) should reveal the first official information about the Nintendo Switch 2.

Expectations revolve around technical improvements, integration with the current Nintendo Account, and backward compatibility with digital games—aspects indirectly suggested during the presentation. Until then, players have a series of titles to explore and news to follow both on consoles and in the app.
