FULL STORY
======================================================================A 
Nintendo Direct livestream will take place tomorrow It will not feature any 
Switch 2 information It will last for around 30 minutes 

Don't rush to sell your original Nintendo Switch , Nintendo Switch OLED , or 
Nintendo Switch Lite in anticipation of the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 quite 
yet, as it's clear that Nintendo still has some plans for the console. 

The company has revealed that a new Nintendo Direct presentation will take 
place at 7am PT / 10am ET / 2pm GMT tomorrow on March 27, 2025. It will last 
for "around 30 minutes," which is slightly shorter than the usual 40 or 
so-minute format. Tune in tomorrow, March 27th, at 7 a.m. PT for a 
livestreamed #NintendoDirect, featuring around 30 minutes of upcoming games 
for Nintendo Switch. There will be no updates about Nintendo Switch 2 during 
this presentation.Watch it here: https://t.co/sJFoxe0mq0

Nintendo is careful and quick to clarify that "there will be no updates" 
regarding the Nintendo Switch 2 in the presentation. If that's what you're 
interested in, you're going to have to wait until the previously announced 
Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct that is set to take place on April 2. 

Knowing that there won't be any new Nintendo Switch 2 information does raise 
an important question, though. What exactly will Nintendo have in store? 

My personal prediction is that we'll be getting a few more Nintendo Switch 
games to help tide us over in the build-up to the Nintendo Switch 2's 
release. I'm expecting a few remasters of older games, potentially the 
long-rumored Kirby: Planet Robobot re-release. I wouldn't be surprised if a 
few other Nintendo 3DS titles get the remake treatment, as it seems like a 
logical, low-cost way to help fill out the release schedule. 

We might also get some more information on Metroid Prime 4: Beyond , but I 
still think that the next installment in the franchise is more likely to 
appear in the Nintendo Switch 2 Nintendo Direct instead as part of the 
system's launch line-up. 

I would be shocked if we don't also get a few more games added to the 
Nintendo Switch Online service, as that's often a regular part of these 
presentations. 

Do you have any predictions? You can let me know in the comments below. You
