The Nintendo Switch had a great 8-year run, but everything must eventually come to an end. Consequently, the is now the new hot console on the market, one that looks set to (hopefully) maintain its predecessor's momentum.

While the hardware is not too exciting an upgrade over the previous console, the platform's legacy will ultimately be defined by its library. So far, quite a few exciting have been announced, and this is just the beginning. Let's run down all the major titles announced for the system.

The Nintendo Switch 2's launch-day line-up is fairly impressive, incorporating a few new titles alongside exciting ports that would never have been possible on its predecessor. Mario Kart World is the big system seller, to the point of being a packed-in title that can be purchased with the platform. The franchise has a history of excellence, and that should continue to be the case with the latest entry.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster brings the 3DS turn-based RPG to the Switch 2. So far, Square Enix's title seems to be exclusive to Nintendo's console, making it one of the most exciting . The original is fantastic, and the remaster should offer quality of life improvements, along with a graphical upgrade.

Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom are receiving Switch 2 versions, and a bunch of third-party games are being ported to the system. Cyberpunk 2077, Hogwarts Legacy, Split Fiction, and Street Fighter 6 are just a few of the most exciting.

While lacking numbers, July 2025's Switch 2 games selection has a handful of exciting prospects. Donkey Kong Bananza is set to be, by far, the month's biggest release, at least on Nintendo's system. Donkey Kong has not received a showcase game in more than a decade, and he has not starred in a 3D platformer since 1999.

Super Mario Party Jamboree, Wild Hearts, and Ys X are all receiving Switch 2 versions, helping to add some variety to the console's library. Also, Shadow Labyrinth and No Sleep for Kaname Date - From AI: The Somnium Files look great.

August 2025 will, hopefully, develop a bit more within the coming weeks, but the month's Switch 2 line-up is pretty sparse. Kirby and the Forgotten Land is receiving an upgraded version that comes with a fresh campaign called Star-Crossed World. Although it remains to be seen how extensive this storyline is, the base game is already pretty great.

Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar is a remake of a 2008 Nintendo DS game, and it will only be coming to the Switch consoles and PC.

Not too much has been confirmed for September 2025, but the two are big in their own right. Star Wars Outlaws garnered a somewhat mixed response at launch, but it is a fun action-adventure title that would never have worked on the original Switch. Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion should improve upon its predecessor, which had the potential for excellence.

While still early days, October 2025 looks primed and ready to be dominated by JRPGs. Pokemon Legends: Z-A's pre-release marketing has attracted quite a bit of criticism, but it will still probably be one of the best-selling of the year. Dragon Quest I & II HD-2D Remake should be a great throwback to classic turn-based JRPGs.

The Nintendo Switch 2's calendar for 2025 is wide open, and the console has a range of titles that are targeting debuts before the end of the year. Elden Ring, Hollow Knight: Silksong, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, Hades 2, Borderlands 4, and Kirby Air Riders should be huge, assuming they came out in 2025.

The Switch 2's life has only just begun, and its future is bright but also mostly in shadow. What upcoming Switch 2 games will define 2026 and beyond? Will it be FromSoftware's The Duskbloods? Or, maybe, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment​​​​​​?
