The Nintendo Switch has been a runaway success, proving that raw power is not the be-all and end-all for consoles. Through a combination of Nintendo's first-party games, a solid selection of triple-A third-party titles, and all the indie projects anyone could ever want, the Switch has amassed a stellar library that can match most platforms in terms of quality and quantity.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are two of the greatest games of the last decade, and they debuted within the Switch's debut year. There is also always a chance that the best Switch game has yet to be released. In just 2023, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp were all console exclusives. 2024 had quite a few exclusives as well, including games centering around Princess Peach and Zelda. Mario even received two RPGs.

Here's a look at all the major titles we can expect to see on the Nintendo Switch in 2025 and beyond. Which big Nintendo Switch games have release dates? Please note the focus is on North American release dates.

Updated February 13, 2025 by Mark Sammut: The upcoming Nintendo Switch games were added to the scheduler over the last week: Cabernet, Rendering Ranger: R2 [Rewind], Crosswords: World Tour, Slasher: Origins, Bumblebee - Search for Happiness, Arctic, Bioweaver, Snezhinka, Make it! Donut, Truck Mechanic Sim 2025, Chibi Ninja Shino-kun Treasure of Demon Tower, Girlfriend from Hell, Kid Adventures: Sky Captain, Call of Sentinels, Build Lands, Piczle Cross: Rune Factory, Mimi the Cat: Meow Together, Please Be Happy, Lone Fungus, Jumper Jon, Crime Opera II: The Floodgate Effect, Crime Opera Fandisk: The Caterpillar Candids, Footgun: Underground, My Night Job, Sugardew Island, Centum, Escape From Mystwood Mansion, Jumble Quest, Dance Mania, Pocket Bravery, Perfect Hand of Nostalpix, Dreamy Syrup.

February 2025 Nintendo Switch Games

Civilization, Tomb Raider, & More

Compared to the PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC, the Nintendo Switch's February 2025 lineup is relatively lacking, with quite a few major third-party games skipping the console. However, that does not mean players have nothing to look forward to, as the month still includes a handful of noteworthy Switch releases. Civilization 7 is arguably the month's biggest title, at least for Nintendo's system. Firaxis' 4X game should be able to keep someone engaged for months on end, even if the Switch version is not the best.

Tomb Raider 4-6 Remastered should be interesting. Unlike its predecessor, this compilation will be covering three of Lara Croft's lesser adventures, including arguably the worst game in the Tomb Raider franchise. Angel of Darkness needs to undergo substantial changes to be made playable.

March 2025 Nintendo Switch Games

Xenoblade Chronicles X, Suikoden, & More

Maintaining the momentum of its predecessor, March 2025's Nintendo Switch lineup looks good so far and features an exclusive that should be one of the better JRPGs of the year. Xenoblade Chronicles X is receiving a definitive edition, with the Nintendo Store description explaining that it will incorporate new story elements. While that is quite exciting, this spin-off is primarily known for emphasizing combat, even more so than the mainline entries.

So far, March 2025 seems to be defined by JRPGs. Suikoden 1 & 2 HD Remaster should offer plenty of value for money, with both games being considered classics in their own right. If someone prefers a completely new game, they should keep an eye on Atelier Yumia: The Alchemist of Memories & the Envisioned Land, and Gust's latest project is set to revamp the franchise's combat. Tales of the Shire: A Lord of The Rings Game is also an exciting prospect as a slice of life sim.

8 Most Relaxing Switch JRPGs

From Harvestella to Persona 5 Royal, Nintendo Switch players can kick back with some downtime on these iconic, relaxing JRPGs.

April 2025 Nintendo Switch Games

Fantasy Life i & More

April 2025's Switch lineup has barely begun to take shape, and it might be a while longer before the month starts to come into focus. Still, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time seems to be targeting an April release, and Level-5 has a good track record for the most part.

Major 2025 Nintendo Switch Games With No Release Dates Or Post-April 2025 Dates

Metroid Prime, Little Nightmares, & More

2025 has a long way to go before reaching its final form, and only a handful of months have any titles at all. However, quite a few Nintendo Switch games have announced plans to debut within the year, even if they have opted to hold back on specific dates. Assuming it comes out, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond could very well be the console's biggest game of 2025, and "the console" qualifier might be unnecessary. Little Nightmares 3 will introduce co-op to the platform-horror series. The Legend of Heroes: Trails in the Sky the 1st and Mouse: PI For Hire all look great.
