It’s official: the Nintendo Switch 2 is releasing in 2025, and Nintendo has already given us a sneak peek of what to expect. Although Nintendo hasn’t confirmed a list of games that will be released on this upcoming system, we have at least one that’s likely to arrive, with plenty of speculation on future titles.
All confirmed and rumored games available on Nintendo Switch 2 release
Starting with the official , it looks like a new addition to the Mario Kart franchise — likely Mario Kart 9 — is all but confirmed for a Switch 2 launch title. Although there’s no release date for the console or game yet, with a new Mario Kart game usually releasing every two to four years, we’re due for another soon. It was only a matter of time before we got word of one.
The other most likely candidate for a game releasing on the Switch 2 is Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. While it was initially announced as early as 2017 at E3, Nintendo restarted its development, with some speculation that this second console had something to do with it. With a predicted 2025 release date, it’d be no surprise if Metroid Prime 4 ends up being among the first series to launch on the Swi🎃tch 2.
Let’s check out some other potential Switch 2 games we might see in the next year or two:
- A new Super Mario entry
- A new Legend of Zelda entry
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- Pokémon Legends: Z-A
- Final Fantasy 7 Rebirth
- Past game remakes/ports
In particular, we’ll likely see various remakes and ports from the previous Switch or from other consoles and PCs to carry to the Switch 2. The main candidates for this early on are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, but only tim🤡e will tell where the releases will go from 𝔉here.
