Despite what some ass cancers on YouTube like Omni arch TV, Angry Guy, and How to gaming says, the switch 2 had a very good 2025. Yet us Nintendo fans must admit that last year wasn’t smooth sailing. With Mario Kart world being $80, the key cards, and other issues 2025 was rocky. Will Nintendo have a better 2026? Let’s find out. Today i am going to prediction the 2026 switch 2 line up. I will go month by month guessing with game will be release in one of the months.
I have a guide for this. If the game already has a release date, I will put it next to the game. If the game is confirmed but doesn’t have a release date, I will put a (c) next to it. If a game is rumor to come out of the switch 2, I will put a (r) next to it. If a game doesn’t have one of these marks or a release date, then it is my guess on if the game will arrive this year. I want to give special thanks to the YouTube channels Re:Direct, Player Essence, and Kneeckoh Games for some of these games.

The legend of heroes: trails beyond the horizon 1/15

Now this will be my first prediction. Most likely we will get The Legend of Zelda 40th anniversary direct. I believe that either Triforce Heroes or the four swords will be shadow drop to the NSO on that day. I am leaning towards the latter.

Pokémon Pokopia 3/5
Fatal Frame 2 Crimson Butterfly 2 remake 3/12
R Type tactics 1 & 2 cosmos 3/12
Monster Hunter stories 3 twisted reflection 3/13
Mouse P.I. for Hire 3/19

At long last, Microsoft is bringing Xbox games to the switch 2. I do think Ninja Gaiden 4 will come out in March
April
Kingdom’s return time eating fruit and the Ancient Monster 4/23
Pragmata 2/24
Elden ring Tarnished edition (c)
Fallout 4 (c)
Super Marion Wonder switch 2 edition plus meetup in Bellabel Park (c)
Mafia the old country (r)
Assassin Creed IV Black Flag (r)
Zelda is not the only series that is having an anniversary this year. Metroid is celebrating its 40th anniversary as well. I think that Nintendo will mark this event by having a switch 2 edition of Metroid Dread.
May
007 First Light
Now we are getting to the fun part. There are no more games with release dates. Now on the rest will be my guesses.
Indiana Jones and The Great Circle (c)
The adventures of Elliott (c)
Star Seeker (c)
Yoshi and the Mysterios Book (c)
Enter the gungeon 2 (c)
I’ve been guessing that Tekken 8 will come to the switch 2. I still believe that the fighting will arrive. I think that Konami will have Metal Gear Solid Delta ready to go this month. Hopefully the parasite Eve like game Parasite Mutant will be on the switch 2.
June
Red Dead Redemption 2 (r)
Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight (c)
Doom the Dark Ages
The Dusk Bloods (c)
Kingdom come Deliverance 2 (r)
I do believe that Sony will bring another of their IP to Nintendo. I think it will be Horizon Zero Dawn or Stellar Blade. As much as I want to see the sexy Eve on the switch 2. I think that the sexy Aloy will be more likely.
Seriously SNK needs to bring Fatal Fury: city of the wolves. The switch 2 needs more fighting games.
Monster Hunter Wilds (r) has been recently rumor to come to the switch 2. I hope all of those datamined info the correct.
One of my most wanted games Tides of Annihilation will come out this year. Hopefully it will be a switch 2 version.
July
South of Midnight (c)
Pokémon Champions (r)
Orbitals (c)
Bubsy 4D (c)
Professor Layton and the New World of Steam (c)
Square Enix needs to bring Vision of Mana this month
August
Splatoon Raiders (c)
Last year’s game of the year Clair Obscur Expedition 33 hopefully will come to the system.
The John Wick like game Project Retrograde might come.
Capcom will keep on supporting the switch 2. I think that they will bring the Onimusha remake, Onimusha: the way of the sword
This will be the last time I will predict this. Since this is the 40th anniversary of the Metroid series, hopefully Nintendo bring or shadow drop Metroid Prime 2 and 3 remaster to the switch 2.
September
Starfield (r)
Deca Police (c)
Borderlands 4 (c)
Fire Emblem Fortune’s weave (c)
Rumor has it that a new dead or Alive game is coming. Hopefully Dead or Alive 7 (r) will arrive on the switch 2.
The Tomb Raider remake The Legacy of Atlantis hasn’t been announced for the switch 2. I think it will.
October
Phasmophobia (c)
Call of Duty (c) will finally arrive
Armodus (c)
Final Fantasy 14 (r) or 16
Sega most likely will have a new Sonic game ready.
I think that Capcom will finally bring RE4 remake to the switch 2
The new Marvel 4 vs 4 fighting game Marvel Tokon might be on the console.
I made the prediction that a all-new Castlevania will come out in 2026 and I am sticking will it.
I believe that we get a trailer of the new long waited 3D Mario game. Sadly, I think it will not come in 2026. The placeholder for Mario fans will be Luigi’s Mansion 4 (r)
November
Even though rumor has it the game will be delay again, I think that GTA VI will come on its release date on November 19th. The switch 2 might get a version.
There is only one series that is big enough to take on GTA VI. That is Gen 10 Pokémon. The rumors titles winds and waves will come this month. They are the big sellers that the switch 2 really needs.
December
Balder’s Gate 3 (r)
Halo: the Master Chief collection
New Dragon Quest
Finally, Nintendo will end 2026 in a big way with something Zelda. Me and everyone else is hoping it will be the long rumor Oranica of time remake (r).
