Nintendo has recently announced an impressive lineup of 23 games currently in development for its upcoming console, the Nintendo Switch 2. Among the most eagerly awaited titles are Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, which promise to deliver exciting gaming experiences.
The new system will also include enhanced versions of popular games from the original Switch. The Nintendo Switch 2 is set to launch on June 5, and with many fans already having pre-ordered the device, excitement continues to build.
In its latest financial report, Nintendo emphasized the importance of a strong game library in making the console successful. The information revealed in the Nintendo Switch 2 Direct, including pricing and the release date, also highlighted a mix of first-party exclusives and third-party games set to arrive in 2025 and beyond.
Key first-party titles include a launch lineup featuring Mario Kart World and a tech demo called Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. Following this, Donkey Kong Bananza is scheduled for release on July 17, with Drag x Drive launching later in the summer.
2025 will see the arrival of Kirby Air Riders, although a specific date hasn’t been provided yet. Aside from first-party games, several Nintendo Switch 2 Edition versions of popular titles are also expected.
Notable among these are The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom, both available on launch day. Following that, titles like Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land will be released throughout the summer.
Third-party titles contributing to the launch lineup include Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster, Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition, and Street Fighter 6, among others. With the goal of selling 15 million units in the fiscal year, Nintendo is likely to announce even more titles in the months leading up to the Switch 2’s release.
