Switch 2 has recently seen a string of well-received exclusive releases. The new title Fire Emblem: Threads of Fate achieved an aggregate score of 89 on OpenCritic, making it one of the highest-rated new releases of the year and further expanding the console's exclusive lineup.
Fire Emblem: Threads of Fate is exclusive to Switch 2. The console's launch lineup previously included third-party titles like Cyberpunk 2077 and the exclusive Mario Kart World, followed by Donkey Kong Bananza, which received Game of the Year nominations.
Pokémon Pokopia, released earlier this year, also received widespread acclaim, while Splatoon: Paint Strike Team maintains high user ratings. In addition to exclusives, Switch 2 has seen multi-platform third-party releases such as Resident Evil: Requiem.
Nintendo's upcoming release schedule includes Fire Emblem: Threads of Fate and Nintendo Switch Sports: Resort Destination in October, followed by The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time Remastered in November. The second DLC for Pokémon Pokopia is expected to launch within the year. Twilight Bloodline, a Switch 2 exclusive developed by FromSoftware but not published by Nintendo, is also rumored to be released in the coming months.
Among the confirmed 2027 lineup, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond is scheduled to launch in January, followed by the open-world titles Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Xenoblade Chronicles: Genesis, and Pokémon: Wind/Wave. Nintendo has not yet revealed its full slate of new releases for 2027.
Switch 2 still lacks a dedicated 3D Super Mario title. Rumors suggest that a 3D Super Mario game for the console may arrive in late 2027, but this has not been officially confirmed.
