Nintendo formally unveiled the Nintendo Switch 2 this morning, and the internet (not to make a Donkey Kong joke) went bananas. Our own Amanda Tien wrote an excellent Nintendo Switch 2 direct recap, which details everything from game announcements to hardware pricing and performance. As you sift through all the news, however, you may want to know exactly which Switch 2 games are coming at launch, which are fast-follows… and which are still unknowns.
I went down the rabbit hole to see what the Big N’s 2025 slate looks like once you order every Nintendo Switch 2 title by release date. Check out our list of upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 games, so you can create a plan of attack when Switch 2 pre-orders open up.
