Nintendo has reminded fans about 21 upcoming games in development for the Nintendo Switch 2, with 10 of those titles being exclusives. The Switch 2’s sales have been impressive ever since the console was first released last year, and it is showing no signs of slowing down thanks to a stream of major new game releases. Between third-party titles and Nintendo’s own first-party games, there is always something new to play on the Switch 2.
During its latest financial report, Nintendo pointed out the first-party Switch 2 exclusive games that it has announced for the home console/handheld hybrid. The games include some re-releases and special editions, as is the case with Pikmin 4: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition – Dandori Academy, Xenoblade Chronicles 3: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition, but it also includes brand-new titles. The brand-new Switch 2 first-party games that are on the horizon are Metroid Ravenous, Kirby and the World Beyond, Pokemon Winds and Waves, and Xenoblade Genesis, with all four of those titles scheduled to launch at various points in 2027.

Nintendo has now added to the pile of upcoming Switch 2 games, throwing third-party titles into the mix, including a few more exclusives. The third-party games highlighted by Nintendo include Rayman Legends: Retold on December 3, Monster Hunter Wilds on December 4, Professor Layton and the New World of Steam on December 10, Danganronpa 2×2 on January 14, Tomb Raider: Legacy of Atlantis on February 12, Yu-Gi-Oh! Tag Force GX on February 16, Eternal Anima on March 4, Final Fantasy 7 Revelation on April 8, and Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet in Spring 2027, with Crazy Taxi: World Tour, LEGO Skylines, Resident Evil: Veronica, Onyx: The Dark Grip, and The Duskbloods all confirmed for vague 2027 release windows.
Out of the third-party games coming to Switch 2, three are exclusive. The exclusive Switch 2 third-party games coming in 2027 include Ninjala 2, an open world co-op game; The Duskbloods, a PvPvE multiplayer game from FromSoftware; and Onyx: The Dark Grip, a horror game from Bloober Team, the studio best known for its Layers of Fear titles and its work on the Silent Hill remakes for Konami. Needless to say, when it comes to the upcoming Switch 2 exclusives, there is a great deal of variety for fans to look forward to.
These aren’t all the new Switch 2 games coming in 2027, of course. Nintendo likes to release roughly one new game per month, and so there are many first-party Switch 2 games for next year that have yet to be revealed. The big rumor is that a new 3D Super Mario game for the Switch 2 is set to launch in 2027 at some point, but that remains to be seen.
It’s possible Nintendo will have something to show at The Game Awards 2026 in December, but otherwise fans can expect the next major Nintendo Direct to happen in February, or thereabouts. They can mark their calendars for the confirmed upcoming Switch 2 games in the meantime.
