Gal Guardians: Servants of the Dark trailer

Nintendo Selects Switch

With Nintendo Switch 2’s big presentation not too far from now, we’re on the verge of a brand-new console generation. And this one is confirmed to have backwards compatibility with existing Nintendo Switch games, which means there will be a huge library of games to play on the new system immediately – even if they’re not all new. We’d expect sales for standard Nintendo Switch software would start to fall off after a few years of the Switch 2 being out. This means it would be an absolutely perfect time to bring back the Nintendo Selects line, which we saw on 3DS and Wii U for several first-party titles.

Following today’s Nintendo Direct presentation for March 2025, we’re publishing a dedicated post to roundup notable pre-orders. A number of new games were announced and are beginning to go up at retailers.

This post will be updated over the next couple of days with notable listings. On top of that, we’ll be putting everything into our weekly pre-order post on Sunday.

Below is the current roundup:

Minecraft has a new movie coming out is in exactly one week, and to promote the film, brand new DLC has been added to the game. All players can access it right now for free.
