2024 - the recap of Switch announcements with big surprises

The February 2024 Nintendo Direct has finally taken place after a few days of waiting. Here’s a roundup of the Switch games featured with some unexpected things.

It is no longer a mirage, but a reality, the new Nintendo Direct presentation exists and was kept on schedule planned by the Japanese firm. A “partner showcase” with more than a dozen announcements, and before the pressure builds and your heart races over nothing, no, there have been no revelations about Hollow Knight Silksong. But if you still believe in the game after all this time, you can still believe in it until March. Rumor has it that an Indie World will be held in these waters, and now would be an opportune time for it to return. In short, until then, we’re telling you about the concrete announcements for the Nintendo Direct in February 2024.

Monster Hunter, South Park, Gundam and Rare on Nintendo Switch

And There you go ! The Nintendo Direct wasn’t just an insider’s fantasy. So what should we remember? We have a confirmation that was inevitable, namely the arrival of Xbox games on Switch. These are not titles that have the aura of Gears of War or Halo, but Pentiment will be ported on February 22. At the same time, Microsoft is preparing the release of Grounded, the multiplayer survival game with Mom, I Shrunk the Kids! We also had Ender Magnolia: Bloom in the Mist which is the sequel to the metroivania Ender Lillies. And it’s still just as beautiful.

Another surprise, the announcement of Gundam Breaker 4 by Bandai Namco. A Nintendo Switch, PS5, PS4 and PC Steam game that will appeal to gunpla addicts since one of the main goals will be to build your mecha from a very large number of parts kits. SEGA was also present to reveal the exclusive Switch release, next June, of the new Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble. But that’s not all because the Persona spin-off series will return with Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance on June 21, 2024. An updated version which includes a new story and which will be available on other platforms (PlayStation, Xbox, PC) .

When there are no more ports or remakes, there are still some. Kingdom Come Deliverance will try to run as best it can on Nintendo Switch from March 15, 2024. Disney Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is also joining the console this year, as is the Monster Hunter Stories remake. Star Wars fans will be able to treat themselves by bringing some of the most popular games around the world with the Star Wars Battlefront Collection.

Finally, in the moments to remember, there are also surprises available now such as the platform game Penny’s Big Breakaway, the Unicorn Overlord demo or even Rare games on Nintendo Switch Online.
