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 January 25, 2024: The upcoming Switch games were added to the scheduler in the last few days: LISA: Bundle of Joy, PuzzlePet – Feed your cat, UFO: Henfield, Kobolok, Starward Rogue: AuGMENTED, Post-apocalyptic Old man, Sweets Drop, Silver Falls – Guardians And Metal Exterminators, Brain Memory Training Academy, Counter Shooter Strike Zone, Zombie Football Simulator, Kubic, Knights of Braveland, Farm Day Simulator 2024, Dr. Frank’s Build a Boyfriend, The Pigeon – Simulator, Torn Away, Snow Moto – Racing Adventure, CleM, West Hunt, Forklift Simulator 2024, Witch’s Rhythm Puzzle, Maid of the Dead, Bandle Tale: A League of Legends Story, Snap Together: New Challenges, Hex Gambit: Respawned, Lawn Mowing Simulator, Scott Whiskers in: the Search for Mr. Fumbleclaw, Freedom Planet 2, Broadsword Warlord Edition.


January 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Prince of Persia, Ace Attorney, & More

2024 has gotten off to a pretty good start, although the Nintendo Switch’s January lineup is leaner than the other consoles or PC. Still, there are a couple of exciting games that deserve a mention. Despite garnering a mixed response to its reveal, Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown is a fun time. The game has garnered a very positive reception, and it runs well on Nintendo’s system. If someone is craving a 2D Metroidvania, Ubisoft’s release is an easy recommendation.

Apollo Justice: Ace Attorney Trilogy should offer good value for money, and the visual novel series is always an easy recommendation for newcomers to the genre. Fighting fans can also check out Under Night In-Birth 2 Sys:Celes.

February 2024 Nintendo Switch Games

Mario Vs. Donkey Kong, Tomb Raider, & More

february 2024 nintendo switch games

While January is ultimately light on new content, things should pick up quickly after that point, with both February and March 2024 delivering a higher volume of releases. Nintendo has a notable exclusive scheduled for each month, with Mario Vs. Donkey Kong getting things rolling in February 2024. 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.
