The successor to the Nintendo Switch is anticipated to be announced before March 2025, making next year a crucial one for the Switch. In addition to new hardware, a plethora of new games are eagerly awaited, as Nintendo is known for its surprise game announcements. Despite the Switch seemingly nearing the end of its lifecycle, 2024 saw the release of many great titles such as ‘The Legend of Zelda: The Return of Wisdom’ and ‘Mario & Luigi RPG: Brothers Afloat’. Can 2025’s lineup surpass 2024’s? Editors from Thegamer share their expectations; let’s take a look.
