Nintendo Switch 2 leak teases final wave of Switch games

As we get closer and closer to a Nintendo Switch 2 announcement, it seems clear that Nintendo is focusing on its fans and future games for them.

As reported recently by PR Brazil, the Nintendo Switch console is due to get a batch of remasters and remakes from third-party developers as Nintendo concentrates on the follow up console.

Driver is reportedly making a comeback via a remaster that will likely see a Switch release.

In the report, Brazil specifically mentions that this shift to remasters is to ensure that players on Nintendo Switch have a batch of new games to play while Nintendo moves their focus.

On the list are titles such as Driver and Driver 2, as well as Splinter Cell: Blacklist, both from Ubisoft.

Ubisoft, a frequent collaborator with Nintendo will also oversee Rayman 3 and two unreported titles.

EA will be focusing on “more games from the Wii”, while Bandai Namco is reportedly heading up remastering some PS3 classics that will likely be multiformat.

While this may excite Nintendo fans, it’s worth noting that this change doesn’t mean the Switch 2 is any closer.

This is a great contingency plan from Nintendo who want games to sell for the Switch despite having a sequel console in their pocket.

This news does have many wondering just when the elusive Switch 2 will make an appearance with some thinking this month is the perfect point to announce it.

ThatmodderGrim over on Reddit is wondering about this by saying, “It's still so weird to me because we haven't gotten either a Switch 2 reveal or an end-of-year Direct yet. So, what's Nintendo doing for the first half of 2025?”

While LolcatP isn’t seeing an announcement soon, “Sounds like Switch 2 isn't getting announced this year honestly.”

It’s great to see Nintendo is working with its partners in bringing back classic games to see off the Switch.
