As part of its latest financial release<\/a>, Nintendo has once again reconfirmed the release windows for its upcoming first-party line-up.<\/p>\n

It’s looking pretty healthy, and there are certainly some big-hitters on the horizon with Zelda: Ocarina of Time<\/a> later this year, then Pok\u00e9mon Winds & Waves<\/a> and Xenoblade Genesis<\/a> in 2027. Nintendo Switch Sports Resort<\/a> is sure to be a big hit amongst more casual fans, while Fire Emblem: Fortunes Weave<\/a> \u2013 which was showcased in its own Direct<\/a> earlier this week \u2013 commands a sizeable fan base.<\/p>\n

Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave – 17th September 2026
\nNintendo Switch Sports Resort – 22nd October 2026
\nXenoblade Chronicles 3 \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition<\/a> – 3rd December 2026
\nThe Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time – 2026
\nPok\u00e9mon Winds – 2027
\nPok\u00e9mon Waves – 2027
\nXenoblade Genesis – 2027<\/p>\n

We’re hoping Nintendo will share a bit more information on Ocarina of Time very soon. We’re personally expecting a November release date for this one (Nintendo doesn’t give a hoot about GTA 6<\/a>, let’s be fair), but it’ll be nice to get some sort of confirmation sooner rather than later.<\/p>\n

It’s also notable that there are no more Switch 1 games on the horizon \u2013 at least for the time being. We’re curious to see whether Nintendo has any more up its sleeve, or whether it plans on solely supporting the Switch 2 going forward. Hey, it’s as good a time as any to release those Metroid Prime 2<\/a> & 3<\/a> ports, hm?<\/p>\n

Which game(s) from Nintendo’s upcoming line-up are you most looking forward to? Let us know with a comment down below.<\/p>\n
