The Nintendo Switch has become an undeniable hit, demonstrating that sheer power isn’t the only metric for console success. By skillfully blending Nintendo’s own brilliant first-party games with an impressive catalog of third-party triple-A titles and a treasure trove of indie games, the Switch has built up an enviable library, rivalling most platforms in both quality and quantity.
Titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey have set a high bar as some of the best games of the last ten years, but who knows? The most remarkable Switch game might still be on the horizon. Nintendo certainly delivered some standout experiences in 2022 and 2023. Just this year, we saw releases like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp, which all debuted as console exclusives. Moving into 2024, the lineup stays strong with notable exclusives focusing on beloved characters like Princess Peach and Zelda.
Let’s delve into the major upcoming Switch games slated for release in 2024 and beyond, focusing on North American dates.

While it might not redefine the genre, it serves as a solid addition.

Farmagia offers a curious mix of farming and monster training, and the Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake from Square Enix also made its debut this month, turning heads with its impressive visuals.
