How long was the Direct?
Nintendo advertised the presentation as lasting roughly 40 minutes. The official replay runs slightly beyond that when its opening and closing material are included; the final Metroid Prime 4: Beyond segment begins at about the 40-minute mark.

Nintendo’s confirmed scope was Nintendo Switch software, particularly games planned for the latter half of 2024. That did not mean every title shown had the same release window, and it should not be read as a complete 2025 lineup.

Was the Switch successor announced?
No. Nintendo stated before the presentation that there would be no mention of the Nintendo Switch successor. That was a specific limitation for this Direct, not a statement that Nintendo had no future hardware plans.
