Nintendo closed its Switch 2 reveal stream with two major new entries in series that haven’t been seen in quite some time, one of which was the long-awaited return of Kirby Air Ride, titled Kirby Air Riders. All we have so far is a cinematic trailer, a 2025 launch window, and the reveal that Super Smash Bros. Ultimate director Masahiro Sakurai would be helming the project.

I have to admit, I was a little nervous going into my career-first preview event for a game that hadn’t even been announced yet. I’m plenty familiar with Story of Seasons, but didn’t know what I was getting into until actually walking into the room for said event (the same one that also produced my recent Rune Factory preview).

Yet another Sony-published franchise is now making its way to the Nintendo Switch, as a brand-new Everybody’s Golf (formerly Hot Shots Golf in English) title is coming this year, confusingly called Everybody’s Golf: Hot Shots. The series was formerly developed by the now-defunct Japan Studio, with this new title being created by Bandai Namco Entertainment.

A lot of Twitter people either just won big money, or just committed to buying a lot of games for random strangers, as Nintendo’s final game announcement of the March 2025 Direct presentation was a Tomodachi Life sequel coming to Switch in 2026. Tomodachi Life originally released for the Nintendo 3DS in 2013 and developed a cult following over the last decade with people sharing clips of its bizarre, surreal gameplay.

While the March 2025 Nintendo Direct was stuffed with sequels, remasters, and other returns of familiar IP, publisher Chucklefish debuted a brand-new game coming to Switch in 2025 that looks set to take players on a magical nostalgia trip to a legally-distinct wizard school, entitled Witchbrook. The game appears to be a mix of life-sim and school-sim, set in both the magical academy and the surrounding town and allowing players to customize their own home and play alongside friends.
