Explained simply
The Nintendo Switch is Nintendo’s handheld and home console, and Switch 2 is its newer successor. Games made for Switch 2 may take advantage of its newer hardware, while some releases are also planned for the original Switch.
The games mentioned come from several established series: The Elder Scrolls and Elden Ring are fantasy role-playing games, Madden is an American football game, and Metal Gear Solid and Onimusha are action series. Fire Emblem is a strategy role-playing series; Orbitals is among the new titles planned for Switch 2.
Physical editions can differ: a full cartridge stores the game, while a Game-Key Card provides access to a download. These distinctions matter to players choosing how to buy and store games, and the mix of new releases, ports and editions makes the late-summer schedule relevant to owners of both consoles.
