We've updated this list following the August 2025 Indie World Showcase.
Looking for the best new Nintendo Switch games releasing soon? Even in its twilight years, Nintendo's hybrid console is delivering, and with the Switch 2 (and good backwards compatibility), that doesn't mean the Switch is being left behind in 2025, though.
Donkey Kong Country Returns HD kicked off the year, and a Wii U favourite in Xenoblade Chronicles X: Definitive Edition followed shortly after. 2025 will also give us a brand new Pokémon game in Pokémon Legends: Z-A and the long-awaited Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. There's plenty more — even a few Switch games announced for 2026, too.
