Summary
When it comes to the next iteration of theNintendo Switch, rumors continue to swirl thatthe next iteration of the hybrid console will sport some of the community’s most anticipated releases. When it comes to speculating on the nature of the next Switch, there’s no shortage of reports claiming to know about the games currently in development for the platform or even the hardware that will sit within its shell. Nintendo has yet to confirm anything, but if the latest rumors are to believed, one leaker has a fairly decent idea of what fans can expect.
PerNintendoLife, leakerMidori, who has a proven track record as a relatively reliable source when it comes to Nintendo projects,shared the codenames of several allegedly in-development titles.
These include “Edward,” a newLegend of Zeldagame, “Anna,” which is supposedlyNintendo Switch Sportsand"SPRed," which is believed to be another 3DSuper Mariogame. It’s worth noting that while Midori is regarded as a solid source, their report should still be taken with a grain of salt until Nintendo provides some kind of clarification on the games consumers can expect to see on the Switch 2.
Fire Emblem Is Perfectly Primed For A Bright Future On Nintendo Switch 2
The Fire Emblem franchise had many successes on the Nintendo Switch, and the company’s next console could expand upon that in many ways.
New Switch Means New (And Old) Games
Remasters, Sequels, And Some Fresh Ideas
Out of all the supposed codenamesMidorileaked, the one that’s arguably the most interesting is “SPRed” given thatSuper Mario Odyssey, a launch title for the original Switch that’s still considered one of the console’s best games was created under the name “RedStar.”
The link could be coincidental butNintendo has a history of using “Red” to refer toSuper Mariogames. Fans of the plumber will just have to wait and see whetherOdysseyfinally recieves a sequelthat’s up to the first title’s exceptional standard.
Speaking on theZeldagame that’s reportedly in development,Midori suggested that the title could be a remaster ofTwilight Princess, the franchise classic that’s held in high regards by the community. Rumors have spread for years that Nintendo was working on bringing the GameCube and WiiU game to the Switch butthese have ultimately never panned out. It seems more likely than ever that such a project could exist as a means of providing a more cost-effective launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2.
Given that theNintendo Switch 2will only be announced within the next year, users are still looking toward the more immediate future regarding Nintendo’s line-up of games.Midori stated that the long-awaitedDragon Quest IIIremake will drop this yearand will playa key part in Nintendo’s June Direct. Square Enix seemingly confirmed that this would be the case but no other announcements have yet been locked in place.
