The very best Switch 1 & 2 games coming soon.
Following The Game Awards 2025, which was full of Switch 2 announcements, we’ve given this list a big overhaul and combined the Switch1 and Switch 2 games we’re most excited for in one big list. Enjoy!
Juggling two consoles is hard work for some, but not for Nintendo. While the Switch 2 is the primary focus for the Big N, don’t ever count the Switch 1 out.

Sanity is for the weak!
Warhammer, I have to say, is something that I’ve only come to really appreciate properly in recent times. I was never particularly bothered until I picked up a big starter pack of wee guys and big monsters to paint (y’know, for my kids), and then a proper, no-holds-barred addiction set in.
I needed lore. I needed more! And so video games, as ever, have ended up being a very important part in my journey, and this time it’s a journey towards a deep understanding of Warhammer. Something like that. Anyway, in short, I’ve been banging through your Warhammer Boltguns and Mechanicuses (Mechanici?) in order to get myself all up to pub-chat levels of knowing stuff about the franchise. Breezily japing with the lads over a bevvy without sweating being found out. That’s the goal.

Pre-orders open later this month.
If you played Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, you’re probably familiar with the Decayed Master Sword. First 4 Figures now has plans for a “life-size” statue of it, with pre-orders scheduled to open on 18th December 2025.

It was fun while it lasted.
Yesterday, Kirby Air Riders got a major update, bumping the Switch 2 exclusive up to Version 1.2.0. It turns out this might be one of the final significant patches.
According to a roughly translated post on social media, the game’s director Masahiro Sakurai said the Kirby Air Riders development team will be disbanding in the near future. As a result, there’s only a short amount of time left to make balance adjustments.

Get those wishlists ready.
We’ve already rounded up all of the Switch announcements from The Game Awards 2025, but that wasn’t the only showcase that Mr Keighley served up this holiday season.
As ever, Day of the Devs was on hand to highlight a bunch of upcoming indies that we can look forward to in the next year or two. It was a slightly slimmer showing on the Switch front than we have seen in previous years (at least, as far as confirmed Switch releases go), but there were still two titles that have already announced a Switch (2) launch.

Shipping Spring 2026.
We’ve had mixed opinions on the CRKD Nitro Deck for the Switch, but now the company has come out swinging with a brand new iteration – and it’s compatible with both Switch and Switch 2.
The Nitro Deck 2 starts shipping in Spring 2026 and looks to be a significant upgrade over the previous model. It seems the company has the Switch 2 in mind with this new product, but those still on the original Switch can still get in on the action. You’ll just need to utilise the additional centrepiece to make up for the height difference, while turning the dial on the back to decrease the length of the chassis.

Hasta la vista, LJN.
Are you old enough to remember being a kid and seeing a NES, Super Nintendo, or Mega Drive game of a licensed movie, and having your imagination run wild as to all the playable scenarios potentially contained within? If the answer is ‘yes’, then you’re equally likely to remember the actual experience typically being rushed, poorly coded junk that barely resembled the material upon which it was based.
But, in an alternate timeline, UK developers Mike Tucker and Matthew Cope would grow up to form a future resistance in 2016 under the moniker Bitmap Bureau (Xeno Crisis, Final Vendetta). Their mission: return to the early ’90s to create the 16-bit movie licensed game kids always dreamed of, before travelling back to 2025 to correct the past and save the world. Confused? Wait until you find out who the dad is.
