The Nintendo Switch has solidified its position as a beloved gaming console, demonstrating that sheer processing power isn't the sole determinant of success. Thanks to an outstanding array of first-party titles from Nintendo, a robust selection of triple-A third-party games, and a plethora of indie gems, the Switch boasts an impressive library that rivals many other platforms in both quality and quantity.
Iconic games like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey—both of which launched within the Switch's debut year—are widely regarded as some of the greatest games of the last decade. The potential for even better Switch games in the future remains strong. In 2023 alone, the console saw exclusive releases like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp. The trend continued into 2024 with titles focused on beloved characters like Princess Peach and Zelda, not to mention two new Mario RPGs.
Looking ahead, here's a comprehensive overview of the major titles set to hit the Nintendo Switch in 2025 and beyond. We'll focus on North American release dates for these eagerly anticipated games.
