The House of Mario is set to air the first Nintendo Direct for the Switch 2, hopefully showing off what fans can expect to look forward to in the next couple of years for the company.
There are big expectations for the next Mario Kart to get a good chunk of time in the spotlight; it’s been eight years since Super Mario Odyssey, so the next 3D Mario is a sure bet. Some people even think Metroid Prime 4 will be getting a release date and an updated version for the Switch 2. We just have to wait and see what happens.
