All Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles confirmed so far

Nintendo has officially revealed Switch 2 and the wait for the new console is nearly over, so here’s every game early adopters will be able to play at launch.

As is typical of new consoles, Switch 2 will play host to several first and third-party launch titles, the latter of which can range from ports to bespoke experiences designed specifically for the console.

Likewise, at least one of Nintendo’s iconic first-party franchises, whether it be Mario, Zelda, Metroid, or another, is guaranteed to lead the charge on the first-party front with every new generation, but who has been picked to rep Nintendo’s next-gen hardware? Here’s the full list of Switch 2 games you’ll have access to from launch.

Every Nintendo Switch 2 launch title

First-party

• New Mario Kart

Only one new game has been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2 so far, an untitled Mario Kart that appeared at the end of the reveal trailer. It was a blink-and-you’ll-miss-it clip that didn’t reveal too much about the next installment, but we’ll likely find out more in the direct on April 2.

It’s also worth noting that the Switch 2 is backwards compatible with the original console, so most of your existing games will also play on the new system, whether you bought them physically or digitally.
