People there are MASSIVE NEWS you won't believe!! There will no(t) (only) be cross gen titles, there even will be SWITCH 1 EXCLUSIVES ONCE SWITCH 2 WILL BE OUT!! That shakes things up coompletley! This is from Furukawa himself! Just read:

https://icon-era.com/threads/launching-exclusive-games-for-nintendo-switch-2-is-essential-for-its-success-according-to-the-president-of-nintendo-shuntaro-furukawa.15763/

As you can read he directly pointed out PokémonZA and METROID PRIME 4: BEYOND!! 

I said it before and i was right again!! Metroid 4: Beyond will be not only on Switch 1 but Switch 1 EXCLUSIVE!! So NO CROSS GEN!!

Q10: With Nintendo Switch 2 announced, will new games still be released for Nintendo Switch?​

A10 - Furukawa:
We have already announced Pokémon Legends Z-A and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond for Nintendo Switch in 2025.

We will continue developing Nintendo Switch titles, but launching exclusive games for Nintendo Switch 2 is essential for its success.

However, we aim to ensure a smooth transition between the two platforms.

Sorry, but I don't these statements as an evidence of Legends ZA and MP Beyond being Switch 1 exclusives or that there will be more Switch 1 exclusive games. What I understood from that is that Legends Z and MP Beyond will be lauched on the Switch 1 (which is something that we already knew) and that there will still be games being launched on the Switch 1, with no info if these games are going to be exclusive or cross-gen. The only information about exclusive games is directed to the Switch 2.


Personally, I think Legends ZA is a Switch 1 exclusive game and Metroid Prime 4 Beyond a cross-gen game
