Okay, so let’s talk about this Nintendo Switch 2, yeah? It’s like, shining new and folks are already itching for what’s next. I mean, they tossed out five exclusive games at launch, and that Mario Kart World? People are loving it. But, as gamers do, they’re already looking for the next thing to sink their teeth into.
Summer 2025’s got some goodies lined up—four exclusives, if we’re counting. But beyond that? Eh, Nintendo’s keeping things pretty hush-hush. Fall’s looking kind of sad, honestly. Just Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and a fresh Kirby Air Riders, but don’t hold your breath for release dates yet. Oh, and if you’ve been waiting for Switch 1 galore like Metroid Prime 4, they’re getting prettier versions on Switch 2. No new stuff, they just look snazzier.
Rumors are flying about some big Nintendo reveal soon. So, what’s dropping this summer? July 17 it’s all about Donkey Kong Bananza for the Switch 2. Then, there’s exclusive stuff for Super Mario Party Jamboree and Kirby and the Forgotten Land too. And some mysterious thing called Drag x Drive—something about basketball and wheelchairs. No clue how that’ll play out but hey, it sounds funky.
Let’s do a rundown really quick:
– Donkey Kong Bananza – July 17
– Super Mario Party Jamboree: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Jamboree TV – July 24
– Kirby and the Forgotten Land – Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World – August 28
– Drag x Drive – Sometime this summer… hopefully
Okay, okay, so Super Mario Party and that Kirby game—they’re getting this $19.99 pack that makes them all shiny with new features. It’s fun stuff! Kirby was quite the charmer when it hit the scene first, so this update might have folks buzzing.
Now, if you’re hyped about Donkey Kong Bananza, join the club. This one’s got heads turning. First 3D platformer since the days of Donkey Kong 64. New look, some destructibility thrown in, and it’s got a kind of Super Mario Odyssey vibe. If it delivers, this could be the game that Switch 2 fans will scramble for.
Drag X Drive is a bit of a wild card. Could be awesome or flop—might fill that multiplayer spot Switch 2’s a bit weak on right now. Anyway, fingers crossed those Nintendo Direct rumors pan out, ’cause we’re itching for more deets on these upcoming games.
Catch you later, fellow gamers! Let’s see what unfolds next in the Switch 2 saga.
