During today’s big Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, Nintendo showed off a whole bunch of games coming to the system.
Many will launch on June 5th alongside the Switch 2, including Mario Kart World, enhanced editions of Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, and new chapters in Toby Fox’s Deltarune. I think it’s a solid lineup!
But there are also a steady trickle of games set for later this year, including a new Donkey Kong, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and, at long last, Hollow Knight: Silksong. And thanks to the Switch 2’s backward compatibility with many Switch 1 games, you’ll be able to play a lot of your original Switch library, including games that will be getting updates for the Switch 2.
Here are all the games shown in today’s Nintendo Direct. I’ve sorted this list by date; for dates with multiple games, it’s in alphabetical order. I’ve also bolded the Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives.
