Every game announced for Nintendo Switch 2: launch lineup, exclusives, GameCube titles, and enhanced editions
Mario Kart World, Donkey Kong Bananza, and The Duskbloods are among the first major releases for the console.
Amid controversy over the increased prices of games (a shocking $89.99 for physical copies) and complaints about region locking that prevents importing cheaper consoles from Japan, the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal event delivered dozens of announcements and titles set to accompany the console during its early months. Nintendo highlighted three categories of games we can expect.
First, timeless exclusives. Leading the launch lineup are Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza. Additionally, The Duskbloods, From Software’s latest project with a Bloodborne-style vibe, promises an exciting future for the console. Second, backward-compatible games: Nintendo Switch titles playable on the new system, plus the surprise addition of GameCube games to Nintendo Switch Online. Third, enhanced editions of first- and third-party titles, including Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, now running at 60 FPS. Over 30 games were revealed, along with their release dates, listed below.
