Nintendo’s next gaming system is coming in 2025, bringing new games and features that could change how we play. Let’s look at what games are confirmed and what you might be playing when the Switch 2 arrives.
The Games We Know About
Right now, Nintendo has shown just one major game: a new Mario Kart. The brief footage appeared in Nintendo’s reveal trailer, giving players a first look at what’s coming.
Seven other games have been officially announced. Yooka-Replaylee brings back a fan-favorite platformer with better graphics. New games like Littlelands and Bestiario are joining the lineup, showing that smaller game creators are already working on Switch 2 projects.
According to the announcement, “The Switch 2 retains the hybrid form factor of its predecessor but with a larger screen size.” This means you can still play both at home and on the go, just like the original Switch.
Big Games on the Horizon
Some exciting news for RPG fans – Square Enix is reportedly bringing Final Fantasy 7 Remake to Switch 2 in 2025. Ubisoft plans to release Assassin’s Creed Mirage when the system launches.
Microsoft might bring Halo games to a Nintendo system for the first time. “Most, if not all Xbox games, will launch on Switch 2 if the console can run them well enough,” says Windows Central’s Jez Corden.

News for Current Switch Owners
Nintendo has confirmed that the Switch 2 “will play Switch 2 exclusive games, as well as both physical and digital Nintendo Switch games. Some Nintendo Switch games may not be supported on or fully compatible with Nintendo Switch 2.”
What’s Next
Nintendo will share more details about games on April 2, 2025. They’re also planning hands-on events in cities like Los Angeles, New York, London, and Paris. These events will let players try the new system before it hits stores.
Better Gaming Experience
The Switch 2’s improved hardware capabilities appear to be attracting developers who previously faced technical limitations with the original Switch. This suggests players can expect better performance in both new releases and potentially enhanced versions of existing games.
Looking Ahead
Nintendo’s approach with the Switch 2 combines familiar features with improved technology. The original Switch sold over 100 million units worldwide, showing strong market presence. With both Nintendo’s own games and support from other game creators, the Switch 2 has potential to build on this foundation.
