The Nintendo Switch is one of the most popular consoles Nintendo has ever produced, with a wide variety of games to choose from and plenty of unique features. We’ve already gotten to play new entries across the Zelda, Super Mario, and Pokémon series on Nintendo Switch, but there are still plenty of great games on the way for the hybrid console. These include exclusive games developed internally by Nintendo, as well as third-party titles and ports of games that are also available on other platforms.
Here’s our list of the best upcoming Nintendo Switch games for 2024 and beyond. Of course, some titles without release windows could skip the Switch entirely and wind up on Nintendo Switch 2 (or whatever it ends up being called) And if you’re looking at future releases on multiple consoles, don’t forget to check out what’s upcoming on PS5, Xbox Series X, and PC this year.

Rift of the Necrodancer - Q2 2024
Brace Yourself Games is one of the premier rhythm game developers thanks to titles like Crypt of the Necrodancer and Cadence of Hyrule, and it announced a new game during Nintendo’s April Indie World Showcase. Titled Rift of the Necrodancer, this is a lane-based game where players rhythmically attack the monsters that come down each lane. The game also features minigames that more closely resemble the Rhythm Heaven series.

An impressive remaster of 2010’s Epic Mickey, Epic Mickey: Rebrushed is set to be a worthwhile revisiting of the Wii classic.

The player is given the power to wield paint and paint thinner to dynamically change the world, which will determine Mickey’s path to becoming an epic hero.

Embark on a magical journey with The Plucky Squire, an enchanting Zelda-like adventure that unfolds beyond the confines of a storybook.
