Every February,Nintendofeatures a Direct that outlines some of its year. While there are still questions aboutNintendo games coming later this year, such asBreath of the Wild 2, the latest Direct really put Nintendo ahead of the game for this year.
Nintendoannounced several games and their release dates between now and summer 2022. Combine this with already confirmed, multi-platform games releasing on the Switch, and it’s immediately clear that the Switch has a couple of strong months early this year.

Nintendo Video Game Releases (March)
March has quite a few games releasing, with March 25 particularly seeing a couple of releases likeKirby and the Forgotten Land(and other non-Switch titles likeTiny Tina’s Wonderlands). Looking over its March releases, there’s something for turn-based fans (Triangle Strategy),Final Fantasyfans (Chocobo GP), Personafans (Persona 4 Arena Ultimax), farming RPG fans(Rune Factory 4), the headlining Nintendo title (Kirby and the Forgotten Land), and more.
For the latter,Kirby and the Forgotten Landdefinitely dominated the Direct. Not only are fans excited aboutKirby and the Forgotten Land’s mouthful mode, which has spawned several memes already, but everything shown thus far on top of that is promising too.
Nintendo Video Game Releases (April)
What’s interesting about April is how only a handful of games have been announced for it thus far, but every single one is landing on the Switch. Some arethird-party games hitting all platforms day one, likeMLB The Show 22andLEGO Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, but several are big exclusives or ports for the Switch.Chrono CrossandAdvance Warsdrew many fans’ eyes,Star Wars: The Force UnleashedandZombie Army 4are interesting ports, andNintendo Switch Sportsis a throwback to a classic experience.
What’s clear is that Nintendo still has more coming later this year, but between March and April, fans are definitely eating well.
