Nintendo’s 2025 was weird — mostly in a good way. The Switch 2’s launch months were filled with surprising swerves that made for a delightfully unpredictable ride. I mean, who would have expected Kirby Air Riders to exist at all, let alone be one of the system’s best early games? It’s easy to be experimental during a new console’s honeymoon period, though. If Nintendo is going to grow the Switch 2’s audience, it’s going to need to roll out the big guns eventually.


This post highlights some intriguing possibilities for the Switch 2 lineup in 2026. It’s exciting to see how Nintendo is evolving and what surprises they might have in store. Looking forward to more updates!
