A game I have long-coveted yet never experienced, speculation swirls that it may make its debut on the upcoming Switch 2.
Ready for a wild ride, gamers? There's some excitin' news on the horizon, and it ain't just the upcoming Nintendo Direct!
I've been drooling over Metaphor: ReFantazio—a game I haven't even played yet, but man, does it feel tailor-made for me. Its vibes are absolutely Persona, and if it hits the Switch 2, I'll be able to enjoy it anywhere, anytime!
Of course, Metaphor: ReFantazio ain't the only title rumored to grace the Switch 2. If Donkey Kong Bananza didn't win you over, this Nintendo Direct might just do the trick!

In our Switch 2 review, we gave it a 4 out of 5-star rating and named it our Editor’s Choice for its crisp 120Hz display, powerful performance, and improved Joy-Con 2 controllers. The Switch 2 may not feature an OLED display, but its solid speakers, decent battery life, and impressive TV mode performance make up for it. The console's significant improvement over the first-gen Switch is well worth it.

Deal Time!
What's got people all worked up, though, is rumors of Animal Crossing. The dude behind Nontendo Podcast dropped a juicy hint: Isabelle's gonna flash us a "2026" during the Direct, and that's enough to make fans go nutso!
He also mentioned a slew of titles that I'm genuinely psyched to see on the Switch 2, like Death Stranding Director's Cut and The Witcher 3. These AAA games are freakin' epic, and Nintendo fans deserve to experience them!
Death Stranding is a fantastic fit for a handheld experience—imagine dedicating your morning jog to joining Kojima's post-apocalyptic world! We're also finally catching a glimpse of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond's release date.
There's a bunch of GameCube games dropping secretly during the Direct, too. Word on the street is one of 'em is Pokémon Colosseum. I used to tear it up on the original Pokémon Stadium on Nintendo 64, and this beast feels like a spiritual successor with more RPG elements and less random encounters. Instead of stumbling upon Pokémon in the wild, you can steal 'em instead!
This Direct’s looking pretty hefty, although it doesn't seem to have any brand-spankin'-new titles, like it did with the Switch 2's launch. But hey, Donkey Kong Bananza's droppin' a month later, and it looks like a real head-turner!
Let's hope the July Nintendo Direct rumors are the real deal, especially for Metaphor: ReFantazio. Keep a level head, though—nothing's confirmed till Nintendo says so! Even if the plans were set in stone at one point, they're bound to shift!
