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.

Nintendo Switch Games Coming Out In March 2025

Xenoblade Chronicles X, Suikoden, & More

Maintaining the momentum of its predecessor, March 2025's Nintendo Switch lineup 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 offers plenty of value for money, with both games being considered classics in their own right (although Suikoden 2 is far more beloved than its predecessor). 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.

Nintendo Switch Games Coming Out In April 2025

Utawarerumono & More

April 2025's Switch lineup has taken some shape, although it is not exactly stuffed with major releases. Mandragora is another 2D side-scrolling Soulslike that looks very good, and Lunar Remastered Collection should be a fun JRPG option. Poppy's Playtime should also make the jump to the Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo Switch Games Coming Out In May 2025

Fantasy Life i, Onimusha, & More

Compared to April, May 2025 looks set to be a decent month for the Nintendo Switch. Console owners have more than a few games to look forward to, including Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time by Level-5. The Japanese developer has a pretty great track record, and there is nothing to suggest this RPG will fail to live up to those high standards.

Onimusha 2 is receiving a remaster, just a few years after its predecessor received a very good update. Remasters and rereleases are a big part of May 2025 in general, as Capcom Fighting Collection 2, Mobile Suit Gundam Seed Battle Destiny Remastered, and Ys Memoire: Memories of Celceta are set to launch within the month. Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma should bring May to a close on a high note.

Nintendo Switch Games Coming Out In June 2025

Tron & More

At the moment, June does not seem set to be a particularly strong moment for 2025 Nintendo Switch games, although that could always change over the coming weeks. The biggest title announced is Tron: Catalyst, an action-adventure project set within Disney's franchise.

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