Ahead of the hour-long presentation revealing everything about the Switch 2, the Japanese gaming firm shared a packed list of titles scheduled to launch on its original Switch and Switch OLED Model. That includes a brand-new Pokémon game, dubbed Pokémon Legends: Z-A, scheduled to release sometime later this year, alongside Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam.
Nintendo Switch was launched back in 2017. Since then, it's become one of the bestselling consoles of all-time and boasts a packed library of exclusive titles with fan-favourites series like Mario Kart, The Legend of Zelda, Animal Crossing, and many more
ALVARO REYES | UNSPLASHElsewhere, third-party developers have confirmed a slew of new titles coming to the platform, including Monument Valley 1 & 2, High on Life, Tamagotchi Plaza, Patapon 1 + 2 Replay, The Wandering Village, Ninja Gaiden: Ragebound, and Sonic Racing: Cross Worlds, to name just a few.
In other words... there's no shortage of new and upcoming games to play on the original Switch.
Of course, buying the first-generation Nintendo Switch or Switch OLED Model in 2025 means you'll miss out on future titles from Nintendo, including Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, both scheduled to launch this summer exclusively on Switch 2.
It goes without saying that, over time, we'd expect to see Nintendo move away from the first-generation Switch to focus solely on the Switch 2.
But unless you're fussed about always having the latest-and-greatest hardware and games from Nintendo, the discount to the first-generation Switch means you can secure a serious bargain.
With a vast library of games, millions of Switch owners to compete against in online multiplayer, and price cuts to its bestselling games and the console itself — it could be a good time to make the switch.
