Nintendo Switch comes out in the splendor of glory, and some exhilarating games launched to make room for the console successor: the officially announced switch 2. Regardless of whether they are developed exclusively for the switch or transferred from other platforms, the upcoming Switch games will end the last year of Switch, as well as the switch 2 after release.
We hope that in 2025 we will get well -known development titles, as well as many novel games announced on March Nintendo Direct. Here are all novel Switch games that we can expect this year.
All upcoming switch games with release dates
Capcom Fighting Collection 2 (May 16, 2025)
That’s right, this is another combat game collection. This time, Capcom compiles games released in 1998–2004, which some would call the peak era for dexterity. This second combat collection includes both English and Japanese versions of six games, including Capcom vs. SNK and Power Stone Beat-Up series.
Fantasy Life I: A girl who steals time (May 21, 2025)
The very anticipated continuation of Fantasy Life 2014 is finally the release date. This RPG “Free-Life” combines adventure stories with the mechanics of SIM life, allowing players to build life (and city) on an abandoned island, focusing from the secrets of the past. Browse randomized dungeons, switch between 14 different “works” and meet friends to aid you travel.
Onimusha 2: Destiny Samura (May 23, 2025)
Originally released on PlayStation 2, this continuation Capcom follows the original Onimusha game, which was transferred to Switch in 2019. Oniimusha 2 Ign on PS2 described it as “longer, deeper and more personal than the original.” The switch version introduces improved graphics and full set of qualifications of life improvements, including automatic saving function.
Pipistrello and Cursed Yoyo (May 28, 2025)
2D top -down platformer in which you take off the bosses of crime with more and more driving Yoyo? Sounds good for me. Stylish -looking Pipistrello and Cursed Yoyo are trying on Switch and Steam this month.
Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma (May 30, 2025)
The iconic Sim RPG card has returned. As a powerful land dancer, you must travel around the eastern nation of Azuma to fight monsters and restore the villages. The novel factory game Rune looks like it puts a stronger emphasis on action designs and anime in the anime style, although improved switching efficiency with a completely novel story, I hope that the improvement over the Rune 5 factory. It is a fleece factory, so there will be a lot of romance, now called “scenarios”.

Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Homeless Army (June 19, 2025)
After the killer in 2024, together with SMT V: Revenge, Unicorn Overlord and Ign’s Game of the Year, metaphors: Refantazio, developer Atlus is already until the next thing. Raidou Remastered looks more like a remake than a remaster, introducing novel graphics and improving the quality of life in Shin Megami Tersei, which originally released on PS2 in 2006.

Tamagothi Plaza (June 27, 2025)
Tamagotci Plaza, a novel part in Tamagothi Corner Shop Series (which I personally obsessed with DS), controls 12 different stores in the city of Tahamiko. Complete minibers that serve the charming friends of Tamagothi in stores (including a dentist) to improve your city and build relationships.
Tony Hawk’s Pro Skater 3 + 4 (July 11, 2025)
This remake collection really impresses Tony Hawk, pounding the soundtrack and so on, to the switch. Pro skater 3 + 4 tons Hawk contains all the original songs, remastered in HD and additional content for Create-A-Skater and Create-A-Park modes. The game also supports a multi -person player for a maximum of 8 people and allows you to create their own challenges to share with friends.

Patapon 1 + 2 Repetition (July 11, 2025)
A substantial feature of the latest Nintendo Direct was Bandai Namco, announcing them to restore the older IP PlayStation. Patapon is one of these attractions, a rhythmic game that originally released on PSP and has absolutely rejected fire. You generally feel that you aid in creating a music video, while building a sufficient number of rhythm to remove enemies.
Hunterxhunter Nenximpact (July 16, 2025)
Yes, this series of letters refers to the anime Hunter X Hunter, who receives its first official fight game. Follow combinations with a team of three characters that you choose from the composition, including Gon, Killa and Hisoka. Hunter X Hunter will contain online mode, as well as a single player campaign.
The Wandering Village (July 17, 2025)
Wandering Village is a game that builds a city in traffic, asking you with the extension of the city’s range during a gigantic creation. When the creation travels in various areas, you must protect the people of your village, creating a relationship with the creation itself.
Shadow Labyrinth (July 18, 2025)
This is a technically Pac-Man game. Yes, that’s right. Bandai Namco introduces an arcada icon to a darker territory with a full game related to the PAC-Man episode with Secret Level. As a “swordsman”, you lead a ball called Puck through the maze of monsters in the shade of the maze.

Tales of the Shire: A Lord of the Rings Game (July 29, 2025)
A cozy agricultural game set in Shire is almost a match in heaven. Tales of the Shire allows you to create your own hobbit during peace in Middle -earth. Starting from March 2025, you will be able to indulge in the final fantasy, spending days cooking and eating delicious meals with friends.
Gradius Origins (August 7, 2025)
Gradius Origins collects one of the best M2 Em Up games, including Gradius, Salamander, Life Force, Gradius II, Gradius III, Salamander 2, and introduces a novel game, Salamander 3, the first novel entry in the decade. Originally released as an arcade game, Gradius has been transferred to several consoles for years, including NES.
Seasons History: Grand Bazaar (August 27, 2025)
The latest history of Seasons Remaster was surprising. Grand Bazaar (originally on DS) takes place in Zephyr Town, where you build a farm, explore resources and craft products that can be sold on the title weekly bazaar. The game version switches the original character models, and also introduces two novel candidates.

The upcoming switch games with unknown premiere dates
There are many other Nintendo Switch games in development that do not yet have a solid release date. Here are some more Switch games that we know they are on the way:
When does Nintendo Switch 2 come out?
Over the past year, we have heard rumors about the successor of Nintendo Switch about his appearance, release date and name. On January 16, Nintendo finally confirmed a decent part of these rumors with the official announcement of Switch 2. The latest Switch 2 Nintendo Direct confirmed that the novel console is to be released on June 5, with novel functions, including mouse control, gamechat and camera, all of which will affect future games.
What games will start on Switch 2?
Switch 2 will mostly be compatible back, supporting both physical and digital games from the original switch. Otherwise, the latest Nintendo Direct revealed a solid list of novel titles of the first party, such as Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Banana, external ports such as Final Fantasy 7 Remake, Elden Ring and Cyberpunk 2077, and generally long -awaited games such as Hollow Knight: Silksong. Some existing Switch games, such as the tears of the kingdom, will receive “improved editions” with novel content on Switch 2, while others receive free updates to improve performance.
