Nintendo (NTDOY) remains silent about what games will launch alongside the Switch 2, but plenty of rumors highlight titles that could be

First-party games like Mario Kart and Metroid Prime could be joined by some absolute belters from the likes of Microsoft and Atlus.

The Switch 2 could improve on the original Switch by delivering a launch title that better demonstrates the console's many capabilities.

Nintendo Switch Online doesn't add new games on a set schedule, but there are certain games that fans hope will appear sooner rather than later.

Given all of the apparent changes to the Joy-Con Controllers with the Nintendo Switch 2, such as the rumored ability to use them like a PC mouse, a true follow-up to 1-2 Switch could be a very smart way for Nintendo to introduce these new additions to the more casual side of its audience on day one.

The best part of a Nintendo console launch isn't the console itself. It isn't even the marquee game that launches alongside it, as much as I love Super Mario 64 and Breath of the Wild. No, the best part of a Nintendo console launch is the game Nintendo releases at the same time (usually as a pack-in) to teach you the hardware's ins and outs.

Yooka-Replayee is also slated to launch on Switch 2 (although there’s no telling if it’ll be there at launch) while a sort of Diablo-like game about catching and leveling monsters in Synth Beasts could help cover any potential Pokemon -shaped holes in the lineup.

Following the Nintendo Switch 2 reveal, 28 different Nintendo Switch 2 games are rumored to be releasing this year and beyond.

With the Nintendo Switch 2 launching this year, a long-speculated, much anticipated launch title seems more likely than ever.
