The Switch 2 is Getting a 2D Metroid Called Ravenous The latest announcement from Nintendo has sent shockwaves through the gaming community: a new 2D entry in the Metroid series, titled Metroid Ravenous, is set to hit the Switch 2 on January 28th, 2027.
The game's inclusion of 3D graphics may seem jarring at first, but it's actually a savvy move by Nintendo to stay ahead of the curve.
The rise of indie games like Ori and the Blind Forest has shown that 2D doesn't have to mean old fashioned.
