The Nintendo Switch 2 is coming. The game developer has officially announced the new console and already answered many questions about the hardware of the Switch 2.
But what about new games?Is there a new Mario Kart coming? What about Pokémon? What about Zelda? And which publishers are bringing their old hits to the Switch 2 in a new form? We answer all these questions in our large and constantly updated overview!
All confirmed games for the Switch 2
The following games have already been officially confirmed for the Switch 2:
- Mario Kart: It remains to be seen whether the new racing game will have the
9
in its title. Meanwhile, thanks to numerous fan analyses on the internet, there is no longer any doubt that the four seconds of gameplay that we see in the Switch 2 reveal trailer embedded below show a brand new Mario Kart.
- Bestiario: The turn-based role-playing game in which you fight creatures in battles is writing on Kickstarter, that it will also be released for the Switch 2 in addition to the Switch 1. As of today, a release for the Switch 2 is therefore officially planned.
- My Time at Evershine: The third part of the My Time series (My Time at Portia, My Time at Sandrock) is also on Kickstarter and is also in a chatty mood. The development team Pathea Games is skipping a release for the first Switch for the new Cozy Lifesim, but is instead dedicating itself to the Switch 2, according to its own statements.
- Yooka-Replaylee: For the new edition of the 3D jump and run from Playtonic, a version for the Switch 2 is considered certain. There is no other way to interpret the spelling in the announcement tweet:
Official information about upcoming games for the Switch 2 can be expected on April 2, 2025. On this day, a Nintendo Direct will take place that will focus on the new console.
Games that are very likely to be released for the Switch 2
So much for the official part. Finally, we speculate a little about games that are very likely to come for the Switch 2 as well – but not yet with certainty.
But we don’t just consult the stars, rather our assessment is based on our editorial expertise and a rumor or two that is circulating on the net. We would therefore not be surprised to be able to play the following games on the Switch 2 in 2025:
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A: The latest addition to the pocket monster series is set in Illumina City, the large city based on Paris from the X and Y editions. However, the announcement speaks in the plural of
Nintendo Switch systems
- Metroid Prime 4: Beyond: We would be surprised if Nintendo let the additional sales of the new Metroid Prime series go to waste. A technically enhanced version of the already pretty shooter on the Switch 1 would be a great opportunity to demonstrate the graphical possibilities of the Switch 2.
On top of that, insiders are predicting many big game titles from Ubisoft, Microsoft and other publishers for the Switch 2. Whether there is something to these leaks cannot be said at this time.
