During today’s big Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo showed off a whole bunch of games coming to the system. Many will launch on June 5th alongside the Switch 2, including Mario Kart World, enhanced editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and new chapters in Toby Fox’s Deltarune. I think it’s a solid lineup! But there are also a steady trickle of games set for later this year, including a new Donkey Kong, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and, at long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong. And thanks to the Switch 2’s backward compatibility with many Switch 1 games, you’ll be able to play a lot of your original Switch library, including games that will be getting updates for the Switch 2. Here are all the games shown in today’s Nintendo Direct. I’ve sorted this list by date; for dates with multiple games, it’s in alphabetical order. I’ve also bolded the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives. 2025: June 5th (Nintendo Switch 2 launch day) Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition Deltarune (includes chapters 1, 2, 3, and 4) Fast Fusion Fortnite Hitman World of Assassination – Signature Edition Hogwarts Legacy Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess Mario Kart World Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour Nobunaga’s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Sid Meier’s Civilization VII – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Split Fiction Street Fighter 6 Survival Kids The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut June 27th: Tamagotchi Plaza – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition June 19th: Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army July 17th: Donkey Kong Bananza July 18th: Shadow Labyrinth – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition July 24th: Super Mario Party Jamboree – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV July 25th: No Sleep For Nakame Date – From AI: The Somnium Files Wild Hearts S August 27th: Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition August 28th: Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World September 5th: Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion Summer 2025: Drag x Drive Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 Winter 2025: Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Holiday 2025: Marvel Cosmic Invasion Witchbrook Late 2025: Pokémon Legends: Z-A – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition TBA 2025: Borderlands 4 Elden Ring Tarnished Edition Goodnight Universe Hollow Knight: Silksong Kirby Air Riders Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition Professor Layton and The New World of Steam Reanimal Star Wars Outlaws Two Point Museum 2026: TBA 2026: Enter the Gungeon 2 Starseeker: Astroneer Expeditions The Duskbloods TBA: EA Sports FC ​EA Sports Madden NFL Final Fantasy VII Remake Intergrade Hades II Human Fall Flat 2 NBA 2K25 Project 007 WWE 2K
