Upcoming Switch 2 Games in 2025

Alright, so here’s the thing. I just heard that Nintendo’s up to some sneaky business with their Switch 2. They’re throwing this game our way – Drag x Drive, you know, the one with wheelchair basketball? Yeah, it’s gonna drop on August 14th. Same day Madden NFL 26 does. Coincidence? Mmm, maybe not. Or maybe I’m just reading into it too much. Who knows.

Anyway, the vibe I’m getting from Drag x Drive (which, by the way, costs a pretty reasonable $19.99 if you ask me) is that Nintendo’s really trying to show off what the new system can do. Like, the mouse controls? Kinda neat, right? And it’s not just a summer fling; this might hint at some bigger things for Nintendo’s game release pattern over the coming months.

And let me tell you, this August isn’t just about wheelchair b-ball. Oh no, Kirby’s also coming back in style with some Switch 2 action, complete with new Mouthful Modes. I mean, can you even imagine what that’ll be like? Well, maybe you can, maybe you can’t. Don’t worry, we’ll find out together.

Now, July’s not looking too shabby either. Donkey Kong Bananza and a revamped Super Mario Party Jamboree are on the way. There’s this odd little pattern creeping up: something old, something new, something borrowed—wait, no, that’s for weddings. But you get me.

September, though, seems a bit of a snooze fest for Nintendo itself. Nada on their official line-up, but who needs them when third-party pals are stepping in with Borderlands 4 and Final Fantasy Tactics somethingsomething? Beats me what they’re about, but hey, choices.

Rolling into October, Pokémon Legends: Z-A decides to crash the Switch-Switch 2 party. Cross-gen stuff, kinda the in thing these days. And speaking of the distant future, 2025 doesn’t even have hard dates but get hyped for Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4.

Kirby Air Riders might just break the timeline’s monotony, along with a treasure trove of third-party gems. I’m talking Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Hades 2, and the new Call of Duty (if they get around to announcing it). Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment is also lurking in the winter shadows, teasing an early 2026 release—not that winter means one thing or the other.

Oh, and GameCube classics are rumored to make a splash on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack. Did someone say Super Mario Sunshine? They sure did, along with a bunch of other nostalgic goodies. Honestly, I’m not even sure where to begin with all these future releases.

Bottom line? Nintendo sure loves its surprises. And just when you think you’ve got them figured out, boom, they throw a curveball. Stay on your toes, folks.
