Nintendo has announced a lineup of new games for the upcoming Switch 2 console. Among the highlights are a new installment in the popular "Katamari" series, as well as a prequel to the acclaimed "Octopath Traveler" RPG. Additionally, a new entry in the "Monster Hunter" franchise is expected to launch sometime next year. The "Katamari" game, which has not yet been officially titled, will bring the beloved roll-and-collect gameplay to the Switch 2, allowing players to build ever-growing balls of random objects.
