Every Video Game Release Coming Soon For Nintendo Switch

June 13, 2021

The Nintendo Switch has been a massive boon for Nintendo. Gamers love the portability, and the system is capable of porting some of the best AAA titles currently available on the market. The motion controls are more than just a gimmick and thanks to the Pro Controller, players itching for a more "traditional console experience" can easily toss their Switch games onto any modern television or monitor.

All of this portability and convenience is only going to get better thanks to the impending release of the Super Nintendo Switch (or whatever Nintendo ends up officially calling it). The hardware upgrade should do wonders for developers hungry to port their games to the Switch's unique architecture.  Nintendo Switch fans should be very excited about the future of the console.

Here's a look at all of the titles we can expect to see on the Nintendo Switch in 2021.

Disclaimer: Please note the focus is on North American release dates.

Updated June 13th, 2021: This list has been updated to include games announced during Guerrilla Collective Showcase Day 2: Black Book, Demon Turf, Arietta of Spirits, Unmetal, BATS, Death Trash, Serial Cleaners, Trash Sailors, Archvale, Batora: Lost Haven, Robodunk, Elderand, King of the Hat, Hunt the Night. 

A variety of Nintendo Switch games were announced during E3 2021's June 12th conferences. These titles were added to this list:  Just Dance 2022, Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope, Demon Throttle, Wizard With A Gun.

June 2021 is slotted to be a decent month for the Nintendo Switch in terms of Indie games and "re-released collections." Players who didn't have the chance to check out the Oddworld Collection (June 1st) should find a lot of value in the quirky puzzle/platformer. Those craving more action will definitely want to snag the Ninja Gaiden: Master Collection (June 10th). The Tony Hawk re-makes finally hit the Switch (June 25th) and soon after players can grab the hilariously fun Destroy All Humans! (June 29th). Indie game and Souls-like fans will want to keep an eye on Ender Lilies: Quietus of the Knights (June 22nd) which has seen rave reviews and an overwhelmingly positive score on Steam as of writing.

August is another Indie-filled month for the Nintendo Switch but as of writing, one AAA title is expected to drop towards the tail-end of the month and it's a doozy. The much-beloved and incredibly quirky action series No More Heroes returns (on August 27th) with a third installment that promises to follow Travis Touchdown as he attempts to climb the leaderboard of the Galactic Superhero Rankings. Those looking for some nostalgia will find Toy Soldiers HD (date not yet announced), a remaster of the original title that promises to amp up the visuals.

  • August 3: In Sound Mind (PS5, XBX/S, Switch, PC)
  • August 5: The Falconeer: Warrior Edition (PS5, PS4, Switch)
  • August 5: Haven Park (Switch, PC)

September is pretty barren for Switch releases as of writing but there are still some gems to be excited about. Sonic Colors: Ultimate (September 7th) isn't a "remake" but it's still a pretty great game that flew under the radar for many players thanks to its exclusivity to the Nintendo Wii and Nintendo DS. All console players (as well as PC) will be able to enjoy the cult classic and the Nintendo Joycons will make the motion controls feel even better. Those who missed out on Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom will definitely want to snag the Prince's Edition on September 17th, which includes the full game, the Prince's Equipment Package, and two future expansions.

  • September 2: Demon Gaze Extra (PS4, Switch)
  • September 3: Kitaria Fables (PS5, PS4, XBX/S, XBO, Switch, PC)
  • September 3: Big Rumble Boxing: Creed Champions (Switch, PS4, XBO, PC)
  • September 3: Family Trainer (Switch)
  • September 7: Sonic Colors: Ultimate (PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)
  • September 14: Colors Live (Switch)
  • September 17: Ni no Kuni 2: Revenant Kingdom – Prince's Edition (Switch)
  • September 24: The Addams Family: Mansion Mayhem (PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)
  • September 30: Hot Wheels Unleashed (PS5, PS4, XBX/S, XBO, Switch, PC)

There isn't much to be excited about (yet) for October but Sunshine Manor (October 31st) promises some Indie Horror chills with its pixelated top-down style and RPG elements. The title acts as the prequel to Camp Sunshine (2016), which saw very positive reviews from fans on Steam.

  • October 5: Exophobia (PS5, PS4, XBX/S, XBO, Switch, PC)
  • October 12: Mozart Requiem (PS4, Switch)
  • October 24: My Friend Peppa Pig (PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)
  • October 25: The Smurfs: Mission Vileaf (PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)

  • October 31: Sunshine Manor (PS5, XBX/S, Switch, PC)
  • TBC: Hotel Transylvania: Scary-Tale Adventures (PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)

November looks like a wasteland as of writing but it's important to note that E3 is right around the corner and we will most likely see some big-name titles drop before the Holidays. Even if there isn't a mass of AAA titles to be hyped for, Pokemon fans will have all they need to be happy with Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (November 19th).

  • November 4: Just Dance 2022 (PS5, PS4, XBX/S, XBO, Switch, PC, Stadia)
  • November 16: Marsupilami: Hoobadventure (PS4, XBO, Switch, PC)
  • November 19: Pokemon Brilliant Diamond & Shining Pearl (Switch)
  • TBC: Fast & Furious Spy Racers: Rise of SH1FT3R (PS5, PS4, XBX/S, XBO, Switch, PC)

December is in the same boat as November so don't be surprised if the Switch sees quite a few releases drop just before the Holidays. As of now, players can look forward to Aeterna Noctis (December 15th), a 2D sidescrolling Metroidvania that gives off Hollow Knight vibes with its beautiful visuals and dark, dreary landscapes.

  • December 15: Aeterna Noctis (PS5, PS4, XBX/S, XBO, Switch, PC)

E3 should give players a much better idea of when they can expect some of these big-name releases but 2021 features a lot of "unknown titles" that are slotted to drop this year. Those that own a Nintendo Switch can anxiously await Diablo 2: Resurrected and Shin Megami Tensei 5. The Diablo series isn't the only title getting a "remake or remaster" either. This year hopes to see The House Of The Dead: Remake, which brings the horror arcade shooter classic to Nintendo's console and should be a blast thanks to the Switch's motion controls. Pokemon fans should also see Temtem, a similar monster-catching-and-taming experience that offers up some unique gameplay elements and styles.

Nintendo Switch fans already have something to look forward to in 2022 with Pokemon Legends: Arceus (January 28th). The game is shaping up to be a "core Pokemon experience" but offers unique RPG elements and a catching system that has players much more involved in the process. Splatoon 3 should also hit store shelves, a very welcome sight to all fans of the wild and crazy arena-style paint-based shooting franchise.

Things look even more promising in 2022 and beyond but it's important to note that not all of the following titles will drop on the Nintendo Switch. Still, with an upcoming console refresh and many developers looking to port onto the beloved systems, it's unclear just how many of these releases might actually make it to Switch fans. That said, Bayonetta 3 is planned to drop onto the handheld-hybrid, and Hollow Knight: Silksong is a shoo-in to appear on the Switch at some point. Players should also be excited for The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, Metroid Prime 4, Pikmin 4, and Pokemon Unite. There's already a lot of big-name titles expected to make their way to the Switch in the future.

The industry has yet to get any concrete information concerning the following games and it's unclear if any of them will actually release on the Switch but it's still fun to think about what players may possibly see in the future. Alan Wake 2 would be incredible for fans of the first game, Grand Theft Auto 6 seems like an inevitability at this point, and Star Wars fans would definitely love to fight their way through enemies as The Mandalorian. Hopefully, some of these potential rumors will become a reality in the next few years.
