Upcoming Switch Games Releasing In 2024 & Beyond

The Nintendo Switch has been a runaway success, proving that raw power is not the be-all and end-all for consoles. Through a combination of Nintendo’s first-party games, a solid selection of triple-A third-party titles, and all the indie projects anyone could ever want, the Switch has amassed a stellar library that can match most platforms in terms of quality and quantity.

The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey are two of the greatest games of the last decade, but there is always a chance that the best Switch game has yet to be released. 2022 and 2023 were overall pretty great years for Nintendo’s platforms. In just 2023, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp were all console exclusives. 2024 has had quite a few exclusives as well, including games centering around Princess Peach and Zelda.

Here’s a look at all the major titles we can expect to see on the Nintendo Switch in 2024 and beyond. Which big Nintendo Switch games have release dates? Please note the focus is on North American release dates.

November 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Mario & Luigi, Farmagia, & More

November 2024 has shaken up nicely, mostly thanks to a few announcements during the June 2024 Nintendo Direct. Mario & Luigi: Brothership is a new RPG starring everyone’s favorite gaming brothers. In recent years, Nintendo has been going out of its way to highlight the franchise’s RPG history, producing a couple of well-received remakes/remasters that mostly stuck true to the original games’ visions. However, Brothership is Mario’s first fully new role-playing adventure in roughly a decade, not counting The Origami King (which is good but not really an RPG). Brothership seems to be a respectable, if not necessarily amazing entry into the franchise.

While Brothership is the biggest Switch game of November 2024, it is hardly the only title worth noting. Farmagia is a somewhat interesting blend of monster-training and farming, along with containing an army-based combat system that seems reminiscent of Pikmin. Square Enix has also confirmed that Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake will launch within this month, and the JRPG looks stunning. Lego Horizon Adventures also looks set to be an impressive adaptation of Horizon Zero Dawn.

December 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

December 2024 will be among the weakest months of the year, especially since releases will largely stop around the halfway mark.

FNAF & More

While most months have taken shape by this point, plenty of Nintendo Switch games are tentatively targeting 2024 releases.

January 2025 Nintendo Switch Games

Donkey Kong Country, Tales, & More

On paper, the Nintendo Switch has a pretty great January 2025 planned, which is quite unusual since the month tends to be a slow burner. The lineup is well-rounded too, offering RPGs, platformers, Metroidvanias, and Star Wars. Action JRPG fans might want to check out Ys Memoire: The Oath in Felghana and Tales of Graces f Remastered, two very good entries in their respective franchise. While not “new,” they should still be enjoyable by modern standards, and the latter’s combat system is particularly beloved.

The biggest Switch game of January 2025 is Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, a revamp of a fantastic 2010 platformer that debuted on the Nintendo Wii. The available description does not indicate that too many new features or changes will be included, but the content itself should still be top-notch.

Major Upcoming Switch Games With Post-January 2025 Debuts Or No Release Dates

Little Nightmares, Tales, & More

2024 is steadily coming to an end. Who knows what the year’s best Switch game will be when all is said and done? It could be a project that has a confirmed release date, a game tentatively announced for 2024, or a title that will be randomly dropped in November. While plenty of Switch titles are on the horizon, most of them have yet to commit to a release year. 2025 has also, very slowly, started to take shape.
