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.

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.

Updated May 9, 2024: The upcoming Switch games were added to the scheduler in the last few days: The Land Beneath Us, Bitmap Bureau Collection, The Pixel Pulps Collection, Chronicles of Magic: Divided Kingdoms, Gearhead Karting Simulator – Mechanic & Racing, Mysterious Adventure of Michael 2, Spot the Odd!, Vampire: Darkness Falls, Pummel Party, Hand In Hand, Awesome Pea 3, Roman Empire Farming, Sling Puzzle: Golf Master, Undemon, Internet Generation, Musashi vs Cthulhu, Tokyo Cooking, Express Courier Pro: Urban Bike Delivery Simulator 2024!, Overmorrow, FoxyRush, Adrenaline Rush: Highway Extreme Traffic Racer, Doug’s Nightmare, Pathfinder: Wrath of the Righteous – A Dance of Masks, Railbreak, Fortress Challenge: Fort Boyard, Gothic: Classic Khorinis Saga, Inti Creates Gold Archive Collection.

May 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Endless Ocean, Paper Mario, & More

May 2024 should be an exciting period for Nintendo Switch owners as the console has a surprisingly stacked lineup, particularly when it comes to indie releases. Endless Ocean Luminous fell somewhat flat. Biomutant has largely garnered a mixed reputation over the last few years, and the Switch version will need to knock everything out of the park to turn things around. If well-optimized, the open-world game could be an impressive addition to the hybrid system’s library.

The month’s biggest release will almost certainly be Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door, a modern remaster of a classic GameCube RPG that is still considered by many to be among the mascot’s greatest spin-off adventures. Other notable May 2024 Switch games are Read Only Memories: Neurodiver, Crown Wars: The Black Prince, the Hyperdimension Neptunia Re;Birth trilogy, and Potion Permit: Complete Edition.

Every Super Mario RPG, Ranked

For over 20 years, Mario RPGs have been a surprise gem for Nintendo fans. They balance the cartoonish world of Mario with JRPG gameplay.

June 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Luigi’s Mansion, Super Monkey Ball, & More

While 2024’s halfway point is largely headlined by releases on non-Nintendo consoles, the Switch is receiving a few goodies as well. Capcom’s Monster Hunter Stories is making its way to a bizarre selection of consoles, including the Switch. The 3DS original is a fairly enjoyable turn-based spin-off with a monster-catching element, and it will likely hit the mark with fans of the sequel.

On the same day that Capcom will be porting Monster Hunter Stories, Atlus will be publishing Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance, another game with a taming system. Although a massive release by most metrics, SMT 5‘s presence on the Nintendo Switch slightly mutes Vengeance‘s allure, even if the latter will be the definitive version.

June 2024’s final week is particularly exciting as it contains two Switch exclusives: Super Monkey Ball Banana Rumble and Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD. The former should be another great entry in a franchise that rarely drops the ball; meanwhile, the latter will revitalize a 3DS exclusive that can be a touch divisive.

• June 4: Star Wars: Hunters (Switch)
• June 5: Democracy 4 (Switch)
• June 6: The Smurfs – Village Party (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, XBX/S, XBO)
• June 11: Battle of Rebels (Switch)
• June 11: Rocket Knight Adventures: Re-Sparked (PS5, PS4, Switch)
• June 13: Dungeon Slasher (Switch)
• June 13: Magnus Trilogy (Switch)

• June 14: Railbreak (Switch)
• June 14: Shin Megami Tensei 5: Vengeance (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, XBX/S, XBO)
• June 18: #BLUD (PC, PS4, Switch, XBO)

July 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

The Legend of Heroes, Ace Combat, & More

The Nintendo Switch’s games lineup for July 2024 is still in its infancy. Still, a few projects have penciled their names into the calendar. The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak launches a new story arc in Nihon Falcom’s beloved JRPG franchise, and the gameplay combines real-time and turn-based combat. Ace Combat 7 is making its way to the Switch, providing flight sim fans with (hopefully) a great option that can keep them entertained for a while. Bo: Path of the Teal Lotus also looks good.

• July: TMNT: Splintered Fate (Switch)
• July 4: Dragon Saikyou Ou Zukan: Battle Colosseum (Switch)
• July 4: Run for Money: The Great Mission (Switch)
• July 5: The Legend of Heroes: Trails through Daybreak (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch)

August 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Cat Quest, Steamworld, & More

Like most of the year’s months, August 2024 does not have much in the way of Switch exclusives; however, quite a few multi-platform indie games will be launching on Nintendo’s console. Cat Quest 3 and Steamworld Heist 2 are arguably the most notable arrivals, and they both launch on the same day. If they maintain the high standards of the previous entries, they should both be charming and fun.

That Time I Got Reincarnated as a Slime ISEKAI Chronicles might also hit the mark with fans of the light novel, manga, and anime franchise, even if these types of licensed games tend to oscillate wildly in quality. Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn and Farewell North could also be neat.

• August 2: World of Goo 2 (PC, Switch)
• August 8: Cat Quest 3 (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, XBX/S, XBO)
• August 8: Steamworld Heist 2 (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, XBX/S, XBO)

• August 30: Shadow of the Ninja – Reborn (PC, PS5, PS4, Switch, XBX/S, XBO)

September 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Funko Fusion & More

It is still way too early to predict September 2024’s biggest Switch games. So far, only a couple of titles have been announced, and they are fairly niche. Funko Fusion could be fun, especially if it delivers something along the lines of a Lego game. Death end re;Quest CodeZ appears to be a stark departure from the previous two games, including a new combat system. Earth Defense Force: World Brothers 2 should be a solid co-op shooter.

• September 5: Flashback 2 (Switch)
• September 13: Funko Fusion (Switch)
• September 19: Death end re;Quest CodeZ (PS5, PS4, Switch)
• September 19: GINKA (Switch)

Fantasy Life I & More

October 2024 is a work in progress, and that will remain the case for a while longer. Still, Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time could be one of the more exciting end-of-the-year Switch releases. Level-5 regularly delivers top-notch RPGs, and the original 3DS Fantasy Life was pretty good. Tintin Reporter: Cigars of the Pharaoh could also be a charming adventure game.

November 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Only two indie games have planted their flags in November 2024 at this point, although this will change over the coming months. Platformer fans should keep an eye on Antonblast.

Star Wars, Sonic, & More

Nintendo’s 2024 is somewhat difficult to predict as, logically, one has to assume that the Switch’s successor is not too far away at this point. Consequently, a slowdown in major releases would make sense as the company prepares to launch a new era.

2024 has only begun to take shape. Who knows what the year’s best Switch game will be when all is said and done?
