Nintendo's handheld console, the Switch, enters its twilight years with a lackluster 2024. While fans eagerly anticipate the Switch 2, the current console struggles to keep up with demanding games and lacks major new releases from flagship franchises.
The Switch is nearing the end of its lifespan. While 2024 saw a few noteworthy game releases, they often struggled to run smoothly on the aging hardware. The year largely felt like waiting for the next iteration, the Switch 2 , but concrete information remained scarce. Nintendo continued to focus on the existing Switch, even taking a hard stance against emulators and ROM piracy. Major franchises like Mario and Zelda lacked substantial new entries, offering only smaller spin-offs instead.
There were no significant hardware upgrades or price adjustments either. The year highlighted the Switch's strength in indie game releases and the enduring legacy of The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom
