Nintendo Switch 2 Rumored Games Launching:
After months of rumors, Nintendo finally confirmed the Nintendo Switch 2 this week with a teaser video offering a sneak peek at the new hardware.
The teaser gave us a quick look at the next Mario Kart, but details about the launch lineup are still under wraps and likely won’t be revealed until later this year. In the meantime, the rumor mill is buzzing, and industry insider Nate the Hate—who accurately predicted the Nintendo Switch 2 announcement—has shared some intriguing possibilities.
Here’s a list of rumored games that could launch with the Nintendo Switch 2:
- Mario Kart 9
- A new 3D Mario game, possibly Mario Odyssey 2
- Metroid Prime 4
- An enhanced Zelda game, likely Breath of the Wild
- Final Fantasy VII Remake (with Rebirth expected in 2026)
- Assassin’s Creed Mirage
- The Division
- Rainbow Six Siege
- A Mario + Rabbids collection (potentially including both games)
- Metal Gear Solid Delta
- Alan Wake 2
- Cyberpunk 2077
- Resident Evil 4 Remake
- Monster Hunter Wilds
- Elden Ring: Complete Edition (with DLC included)
- Grand Theft Auto 6 or possibly Grand Theft Auto 5
- Halo: The Master Chief Collection
- Microsoft Flight Simulator 2024
- MLB: The Show
- Titanfall 2 and other EA Sports games
There are some caveats. It’s speculated that either Mario Kart 9 or a new Mario game will launch with the console, while the other might be held back for a holiday release. Since Mario Kart 9 was hinted at in the Switch 2 trailer, it seems more likely to launch first.
Nate the Hate, who shared this list, emphasizes that it’s highly speculative, especially titles like Grand Theft Auto 6, Monster Hunter Wilds, and the EA games. Meanwhile, IGN suggests that Pokémon Legends: Z-A and Professor Layton and the New World of Steam are strong contenders for launch titles.
