The Direct described games and hardware in the context of plans announced in September 2025. A release window given then is a historical statement, not proof that a game or accessory is still upcoming, available, or sold in a particular region today. Check the relevant current Nintendo product page or retailer listing for present status, and confirm the platform before buying: the show covered both Nintendo Switch 2 and Nintendo Switch, and not every announcement applied to both.
