Nintendo Updates Its First-Party Release Schedule: New Metroid and Kirby Titles Set for 2027, Original Switch Left Off for the First Time
Nintendo has updated its first-party release schedule in its latest financial results materials. For Switch 2, two new titles, Metroid: Ravenous and Kirby and the World Beyond, are both slated for 2027, alongside Pokemon Winds and Waves, also scheduled for 2027.
Notably, for the first time since the original Switch launched in March 2017, the official schedule lists no upcoming first-party games for that system, a clear sign that Nintendo's internal development has fully shifted to Switch 2, which launched on June 5, 2025, with titles including Mario Kart World.
The schedule points to a 2027 first-party slate led by the Metroid, Kirby and Pokemon franchises, with exact release dates still to come.
