More confirmed titles for the Switch 2

There's more! Nintendo has confirmed 4 epic new games that are coming to the Nintendo Switch 2. Below, you’ll find the full list of confirmed Switch 2 games:

1. Kirby Air Riders

More than 20 years after Kirby Air Ride was released on the GameCube, we get a second instalment to this adorable racing game. Kirby Air Riders is a racing game featuring iconic Kirby characters and is set to release later this year. 

2. Donkey Kong Bananza 

We can’t forget about Donkey Kong! The iconic gorilla with a tie is coming to the Switch 2 with an open world 3D adventure. The trailer shows Kong in loads of different worlds, ranging from snowy mountaintops to colourful flower fields. Donkey Kong Bananza releases on July 17.

3. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment 

Just like Breath of the Wild, The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom is getting a Hyrule Warriors edition. Age of Imprisonment follows the events that took place before Tears of the Kingdom when princess Zelda was transported to the past. The game is set to release in the winter of 2025. 

4. Drag X Drive 

In the Switch 2 Overview trailer, we saw that the new Joy-Cons support mouse control. One game that really makes the most of this new feature is Drag X Drive. It’s a basketball game where all the characters are in a wheelchair. You control this wheelchair by using your Joy-Cons like a mouse. Drag x Drive is set to release in the summer of this year.

Switch 2 versions of iconic Zelda, Metroid Prime and other games

To optimise iconic Switch 1 games for the Switch 2, Nintendo is creating expansion packs. These packs can include visual improvements, new features, additional game modes or other upgrades.
