How to watch the new Nintendo Direct for a look at what’s coming to Switch

A new Nintendo Direct showcase will be streamed live on Thursday, March 27. The new Direct will focus on games coming to the original Switch, not the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo announced Wednesday. It appears to be one of the last, if not the last, Nintendo Direct events dedicated solely to Nintendo’s current-generation console.

Thursday’s Direct will stream live at 7 a.m. PDT/10 a.m. EDT on Nintendo’s official YouTube channel. The presentation will run for around 30 minutes, Nintendo said. You can watch the new Nintendo Direct in the embedded video above.

Nintendo currently has one title on its publishing slate for Switch, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Many third-party publishers still have Switch games coming, but the existence of a new Nintendo Direct dedicated to the original Switch certainly indicates there may be more from Nintendo itself. Nintendo is rumored to have a handful of remakes and remasters for the original Switch, but maybe there will be a surprise or two as well.

Nintendo’s successor to the original Switch is expected to launch sometime in late spring or early summer. A Nintendo Direct dedicated to Switch 2 is coming next week, on Wednesday, April 2.
