All 28 Nintendo Switch 2 Games Rumored So Far

by

This month, Nintendo officially unveiled the long-awaited successor to the Nintendo Switch: the Nintendo Switch 2. However, the unveiling only showcased a new Mario Kart game as its exclusive title thus far. Since then, few other games for the Nintendo console have been announced or revealed. To date, just eight Nintendo Switch 2 games have been officially confirmed. Despite the limited number of confirmed titles, there has been a flurry of rumors about additional games potentially coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Specifically, whispers of as many as 28 distinct games have surfaced in relation to the console’s future lineup.

Among the whispers about upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 titles, there are both unannounced and brand new games as well as ports of previously released Nintendo Switch games. Furthermore, it is said that there will be Nintendo Switch 2 adaptations for games scheduled for release in 2025, which have not yet been announced for the Switch 2 platform.

Among the anticipated titles for the alleged Nintendo Switch 2 are various series, such as Mario, The Legend of Zelda, Super Smash Bros, Star Fox, Final Fantasy, DOOM, Assassin’s Creed, Fallout, Metroid, Metal Gear, Pokemon, Red Dead Redemption, Tekken, Star Wars, Halo, Gears of War, Diablo, and many others.

New 3D Mario

Since 2023, there have been whispers about a forthcoming 3D Mario game from different sources, with the first hints pointing towards an upcoming title that looks “incredibly impressive.” Nintendo has yet to reveal the official name of this new game or its release date, but speculation suggests it may debut this year.

For some time now, there’s been chatter about Square Enix possibly remaking Final Fantasy IX. Lately, these whispers have hinted at it potentially being exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. In fact, the most recent rumor surrounding this RPG remake from last month proposes that it could serve as a launch title for the Nintendo Switch 2.

The Legend of Zelda Remake/Remaster

After the unveiling of The Legend of Zelda: Skyward HD in 2021, there have been whispers that Nintendo has not only been developing additional Zelda remakes/remasters, but they may also have finished projects ready for release at just the right moment. A recent leak from Newegg hints that the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2 could be that moment. Whether it will be Ocarina of Time, The Wind Waker, or Twilight Princess, only time will tell.

Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater

According to the same source that broke the news about the Nintendo Switch 2 release date, they also hint that this year’s release of Metal Gear Solid Delta: Snake Eater may come with a version compatible with the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2.

New Super Smash Bros. Game

There’s been buzz suggesting that a new Super Smash Bros. title is on the horizon, potentially launching for the Nintendo Switch 2 in 2026. This anticipated game could include fresh faces such as Waluigi, Crash Bandicoot, and additional characters.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

The most recent speculation regarding Metroid Prime 4, initially announced in 2017 for the existing Nintendo Switch by Retro Studios and Nintendo, hints at a dual-release timeline for both generations of the Switch console, potentially launching as early as this year on both platforms.

DOOM: The Dark Ages

As a gaming enthusiast, I’m super excited about the upcoming release of DOOM: The Dark Ages by Xbox, Bethesda, and id Software on May 15, 2025. It’s still up in the air whether this will come before or after the rumored launch date of Nintendo Switch 2. But here’s a juicy tidbit that has been buzzing around: the new DOOM game could potentially be making its way to the Nintendo Switch 2! Fingers crossed, we’ll see what unfolds!

Astral Chain 2

There are whispers that PlatinumGames is working on a follow-up to Astral Chain, which was exclusively released for Nintendo Switch in 2019. If these rumors hold true, the game has reportedly been rebooted during development in 2023, suggesting it may not be ready for quite some time.

New Star Fox

It was speculated in January 2024 that a new Star Fox game might be under production for the anticipated Nintendo Switch 2, with a possible release within the ensuing year. This conjecture surfaced when it was thought that the Nintendo Switch 2 would hit the market towards the end of 2024. If true (or not entirely inaccurate), this suggests that the Star Fox game could be among the initial titles available at, or shortly after, the launch of the Nintendo Switch 2.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A

T Z-A is indeed coming out.

Pokemon Gen 10

It’s been confirmed through a server leak that Game Freak is working on the next mainline Pokémon games for both the current Nintendo Switch and an upcoming Nintendo Switch 2. The leaked files don’t specify a release date, but there are rumors suggesting that these Gen 10 Pokémon games might debut on the Nintendo Switch 2 in the year 2026.
