Some of the TechRadar team are arguing about whether this console is blue, or if it’s secretly purple like Nintendo’sGameCubewas – ultimately, only you can decide. Maybe it’ll be easier to figure out when the console is in your hands.
What’ll you be playing this year?
There’s a handful of Nintendo Switch games slated to arrive later in 2021, includingMarioGolf: Super Rush and an HD port ofThe Legend of Zelda: Skyward Sword. Beyond that, things get a little murkier, at least for now.
Other major titles, such asBayonetta 3, asequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wildand Metroid Prime 4, do not currently have release windows, with very little information available on just what these games will even be.
It’s possible that some of these titles are being aimed to launch with support for the long-rumoredNintendo Switch Pro, which is reportedly meant to be an improved Switch that supports4Kresolution.
