Before yesterday's Nintendo Direct, Nintendo was adamant that no news about the Switch 2 would be revealed during the presentation, but the aftermath of one of its more surprising announcements may have given away a crucial bit of information about the next console and the games we can expect to play on it.

We'd expect Nintendo's "Switch 2 Edition" games will be broadly similar to the systems set up by Sony and Microsoft in recent years. We'll likely find out for sure when Nintendo reveals many more details about the system in a livestreamed video presentation planned for April 2.

Nintendo confirms Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games and Nintendo Switch 2 Edition games are coming as part of its new Virtual Game Card system.
