Nintendo's recent financial report has unveiled some of the most anticipated Switch exclusive games set to launch in 2024 and beyond. Since its 2017 launch, the Switch has seen a continuous flow of game releases for its unique hybrid design, including new titles, classic game remakes, and enhanced Wii U ports.
Ongoing rumors hint at Nintendo's shift towards a successor console, although details on the Switch 2 remain scarce. Despite this, Nintendo's focus on the original console is evident in its recent financial report, which showcases upcoming Switch games.
The revealed upcoming Switch exclusives include Mario vs. Donkey Kong, scheduled for release on February 16, and Princess Peach: Showtime, set for March 22. Additionally, Nintendo has announced Luigi's Mansion 2 HD for Summer 2024, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year with an undetermined 2024 release date, and Metroid Prime 4, without a release window.
