We've updated this list following the April 2024 Indie World Showcase. Enjoy!
Looking for the best new Nintendo Switch games releasing soon? 2023 was a banner year for the now-ageing hybrid console, and even if it looks like the Switch is winding down as it approaches its eighth year on the market, there are still plenty of beauties to pick up in 2024.
In terms of first-party offerings, Another Code is making its grand return, as is Mario vs. Donkey Kong. Princess Peach is taking centre stage in a brand-new game. And remasters of Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door and Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon are on the way. The third-party slate is looking pretty healthy too — maybe 2024 is the year we finally get Silksong?
Which upcoming Switch games have us saving up our Nintendo eShop Gold Points? Below we've rounded up 35 (ish... come on, you know we can't just have 35!) of the biggest new Nintendo Switch games coming soon. They run the gamut from AAA first-party offerings to DLC to promising-looking indies. We'll be adding to (and subtracting from) this list as the weeks and months go by.
Let's take a look at our most anticipated Switch games for the months ahead...
Nintendo Switch Upcoming Games
Eiyuden Chronicle: Hundred Heroes (Switch eShop)
The title isn't lying — there are at least 100 playable characters in this epic Suikoden-inspired RPG. After absolutely smashing its Kickstarter goal at the end of 2022 and raising $3.5 million, we can confidently say that each of these Hundred Heroes will be worth at least $35,000. That's how that works, right?
Developed by Suikoden creator Yoshitaka Murayama, who sadly passed away earlier this year, this spiritual successor will be launching on 23rd April 2024. Check out our verdict to find out whether it's worth picking up on Switch.
