Upcoming Switch Games Releasing In 2024 & Beyond

The Nintendo Switchhas 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 Wildand Super Mario Odysseyare 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 February 8, 2024: The upcoming Switch games were added to the scheduler in the last few days: Shanghai Summer, Fate/Samurai Remnant: Record's Fragment: Keian Command Championship, Pecaminosa: A Deadly Hand, Captain Velvet Meteor: The Jump+ Dimensions, Croc's World 4, Pirates: Caribbean Chronicles, Illang, Alpaca Wonders Why, God of Light: Remastered, .T.E.S.T: Expected Behaviour, Deathly Dangerous, The Nom, Golfinite, Football Simulator 2024, Bullion - The Curse of the Cut-Throat Cattle, Helix Jump: Catch The Letters, Tenement, Throne of Egypt, Dreamland Solitaire, Lords of Exile, Twilight Survivors, Hex Cats, Edge of Reality, Caveman Ransom, Art of Glide, Your Majesty, Cyber Taxi Simulator, Drift Master Simulator 2024 - Driving Sim, Squirrel Stapler, The Jump Guys, Spear Master, Violet Wisteria, Rainbow Moon, ArcRunner, C.A.R.D.S. RPG: The Misty Battlefield.

February 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, Tomb Raider, & More

While January was ultimately light on new content, things will pick up quickly in February and even March. Nintendo has a notable exclusive scheduled for each month, with Mario Vs. Donkey Kong being the big exclusive. The spin-off series has developed a mixed reputation following a few less-than-great entries, but the upcoming title is a remake of the very first game. As such, it should be a return to basics with improved visuals, along with presumably some quality-of-life adjustments. For those who have never played these puzzle games, they are wildly different than either Mario or Donkey Kong projects, so it is important to check some gameplay footage before deciding to invest.

Speaking of revisiting the past, Tomb Raider I-III Remastered Starring Lara Croft contains remasters of three action-adventure classics. While the PS1 games are still considered great for their era, they can be somewhat difficult to revisit in this day and age; consequently, this compilation will hopefully make them more accessible to a modern audience. Shiren the Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island is another February 2024 game that might surprise a few people.

March 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Princess Peach, South Park, & More

The Nintendo Switch's March 2024 lineup is not lacking in quantity, and hopefully the same can be said for quality. In terms of first-party titles, Princess Peach: Showtime! is pretty much the only project announced for the month, but it could very well prove to be the biggest Switch release of the first half of the year. While unquestionably a gaming icon, Peach is rarely allowed to take center stage; consequently, Showtime should be a milestone release for the character. It also seems set to be a fun and creative action-adventure game, one that utilizes costumes in place of classes.

Otherwise, March 2024 largely consists of indie titles. Berserk Boy has been in development for quite a while, and the action-platformer looks like it could be a blast to play through. MLB The Showis consistently good, and South Park: Snow Day! might be fun, even if the trailers have not been that encouraging.

Eiyuden Chronicle & More

The rest of 2024 is still a work in progress, with no major Switch exclusives having confirmed debut dates.
