These games vary between new releases, past gen titles being brought to Nintendo Switch, and multiplatform games getting their Switch release. Notable omissions from today’s stream included Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid, Pokemon Snap, any 25th Aniversary Pokemon content, or any news of a “Switch Pro” release.
