Although there is information available from the Nintendo Direct in August 2024 about what games to expect for 2025, in addition to some isolated announcements, the list of releases for Switch is not yet fully known.

Or in this case, details are missing about the departure date of some of them. To such a degree that it is only known that they will come out next year but not in the exact season. Fortunately, you just need to have some patience.
Why do we say it? Because Nintendo usually always has a broadcast in the first months of the year, which reveals what video games will be released at the beginning and mid-year of the year.
We recommend: Nintendo already has your summary of the year ready so you know which were your favorites of 2024.
On some occasions it also previews important titles that will be released before the end of the year, but that lack a more precise release date or window. Sometimes information of this type is absent for some reasons.

When could the first Nintendo Direct of 2025 be? If the company follows the pattern set in recent years it will take place sometime in February. But this publisher and developer also has to reveal when the Switch successor will be available.
So you could do it in this same transmission or handle it in a separate one. But that must be before April 1, 2025, as previously anticipated.
