A new Nintendo Direct showcase will be streamed live on Thursday, March 27. The new Direct will focus on games coming to the original Switch, not the upcoming Nintendo Switch 2, Nintendo announced Wednesday.

Right now, the main things we know about the Switch 2 hardware that distinguish it from the original Switch are that it's bigger and has more horsepower inside. The widespread expectation is that it will be roughly as powerful as a PlayStation 4 Pro or maybe even a Steam Deck, possibly with the ability to upscale games to 4K using DLSS technology.

The final Nintendo Direct presentation of the Switch era has arrived, and it's set to reveal a heap of new games for the console ahead of the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal next week.
