What Nintendo Switch 2 Games Are You Most Excited For In 2026?

We’re already a month into 2026, and it’s been a pretty solid start to the year for Switch 2. But there’s plenty to come over the next 11 months, including many likely surprises for Nintendo’s newest console.

Amidst big anniversaries for Zelda and Metroid, we already have a pretty solid suite of games coming out over the next few months for the Switch 2, from the Big N itself to third-parties like Capcom and Square Enix, who have gone all-in on the hybrid.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition may have kicked things off all nice and familiar, a there are a lot of unknowns still, but with Mario Tennis Fever serving up an ace soon, and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book keeping us cosy with the kids, things are looking bright — and a little bit different. A brand new Fire Emblem, a Splatoon spin-off, a new Resident Evil day-and-date, and a long-awaited indie Zelda-like from the creators of Shovel Knight. All that and more should make the Switch 2 the place to play games in 2026.
