Having endured a tumultuous development process, Metroid Prime 4 has been eagerly awaited by Switch enthusiasts for the past six years.
Nintendo has recently confirmed release dates for upcoming Nintendo Switch exclusive games in 2023 and has also hinted at titles coming in 2024. Despite the Switch's immense success, its hardware is considered outdated at this stage, resulting in a gradual decline in sales. Consequently, there are strong indications that Nintendo is preparing to launch a new console in 2024. However, Nintendo has reassured fans that they are not yet ready to move on from the Switch, emphasizing the exciting lineup of exclusive games planned for 2023 and the future.
Upcoming Nintendo Switch Exclusive Games
During the latest Nintendo Direct presentation, Nintendo unveiled a number of exciting projects, some of which were announced for the first time. Among these upcoming releases, Switch owners can anticipate the arrival of Detective Pikachu Returns on October 6, Super Mario Bros. Wonder on October 20, WarioWare: Move It on November 3, and Super Mario RPG on November 17. Looking ahead to 2024, Nintendo has plans to release a remake of Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon and a new Princess Peach game, which is currently untitled. Additionally, fans can finally expect the highly anticipated Metroid Prime 4 to be released for the Switch, although the official release date remains unspecified.

Super Mario Bros. Wonder - October 20
WarioWare: Move It - November 3
Super Mario RPG - November 17
Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon - 2024
Princess Peach Game -2024
Metroid Prime 4 - TBA
Reportedly launching next year, the upcoming Nintendo console has led some fans to believe that Metroid Prime 4 would be released on its successor, abandoning the Switch. However, this financial report confirms that Nintendo remains committed to releasing Metroid Prime 4 on the Switch. It is unclear whether this will be the final major game for the console or a cross-generational release similar to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Fans have eagerly awaited news on Metroid Prime 4 for six years since its initial announcement at Nintendo's E2 2017 presentation, where only the game's logo was revealed. Development was later restarted with Retro Studios due to reported dissatisfaction with Bandai Namco's previous work on the game.
Numerous Metroid projects have been launched for the Switch since the announcement of Metroid Prime 4, encompassing the much-lauded Metroid Dread and the remastered version of Metroid Prime. There are whispers suggesting that a remastered edition of Metroid Prime 2 might also be on the horizon, but for the time being, Switch users who are fans of the Metroid series can eagerly anticipate the arrival of Metroid Prime 4.
