The new Nintendo Switch games of 2026

The giant Nintendo is showing its Joy-Con lovers that it still has plenty in reserve this year! On Switch consoles, the mustachioed plumber returns with gameplay mechanics as fresh as a blue shell and Link keeps exploring wild lands that defy all hardware logic. Oh no! The Switch has not finished shining with its collection of colorful exclusives where Pokémon rub shoulders with Animal Crossing villagers in a festival of timeless cuteness. And indies are not left out with pixelated gems that make up for their minimalist graphics with top-notch level design! Docked on a 4K screen or in handheld mode under the covers, these new cartridges promise the community a few hundred more hours of fun!
