The Switch 2 is still in its first year, but it's wasting no time releasing more exclusive games to keep early adopters happy and attract new players. Nintendo's plans for 2026 are still mostly a mystery at this point, but this week's Nintendo Direct: Partner Showcase event should help fill in the coming months. Meanwhile, Nintendo itself has plenty of first-party games on the way to its latest console, and decided to confirm some of them in its latest financial report.

Later in 2026, Switch 2 owners can also look forward to it Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave.

Big Switch 1 games will also be released in 2026

The Switch 2 is of course backwards compatible with the original Switch, so games released for the older console are also relevant to the platform. We know that Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream comes on April 18, while Rhythm Heaven Groove and Pokemon Champions as of this writing, they still have vague release windows of 2026. In any case, between the new games coming to the Switch 2 and the new games released for the original Switch, Nintendo fans should have no shortage of exciting new games this year.
