Nintendo Switch 2: What We Know About the 2025 Game Lineup

Okay, so hear me out. It’s September 16th, 2025, and we’ve had three months with the Nintendo Switch 2. While I’m still on the fence about buying another handheld (my wallet cries just thinking about it), the game lineup for 2025 is getting seriously interesting, and honestly, a little strange.

Nintendo recently dropped an infographic showcasing every Switch and Switch 2 Direct game, and it’s given us a pretty good look at what’s coming.

When the Switch 2 was first revealed, the excitement was through the roof. Now, a few months in, we’re starting to see the actual games that will fill our libraries. And yeah, some of them are definitely raising eyebrows.

Looking at the confirmed 2025 releases, it feels like Nintendo is taking some big swings. We’re seeing a mix of expected sequels, some bold new IPs, and a few titles that are… well, let’s just say they’re unique. Pre-order details are starting to pop up for some of the bigger titles, and it’s worth keeping an eye on those if you’re looking to secure your copy.

I’ve been digging into what our editors here are loving and hating about the Switch 2 after this initial period, and the game library is a big part of that discussion. While the hardware itself has its pros and cons, the software is what truly makes or breaks a console, right?

The September Nintendo Direct was a huge event for Switch 2 fans, and it really set the stage for what we can expect. Seeing all those games laid out, from the anticipated to the surprising, has me genuinely curious about where Nintendo is heading with this console. Is this the year I finally cave and add another Nintendo device to my collection? The games might just convince me. Let’s see what 2025 has in store!
