Nintendo Switch 2: 9 games including Zelda and Mario already on the run, major exclusives becoming clearer



A console that has barely been made official and is already at the heart of all discussions. Since March 29, 2026, several leaks suggest the arrival of nine games on the Nintendo Switch 2, some of which could accompany the launch or arrive in the first year. This information comes from both official classification bodies and a well-known insider on the Nintendo scene.

These revelations concern titles expected between 2026 and 2027, with a mixture of new releases, remakes and ports. If no official announcement has yet been made by Nintendo, the accumulation of credible clues is starting to draw a solid catalog for the future console.

Games confirmed indirectly thanks to official organizations

It all starts with rating organizations like the ESRB, responsible for rating video games in North America. Their role is usually discreet, but their databases sometimes reveal upcoming announcements. This is how Hellraiser: Revival, developed by Boss Team Games and published by Saber Interactive, was classified for the Nintendo Switch 2. This simple detail suggests an imminent release on the console, probably in 2026.

In the process, Hell Is Us, an action-adventure game already released in 2025 on other platforms, was also spotted in the classifications. Its arrival on Switch 2 would mark its first appearance in the Nintendo ecosystem. Finally, another leak from a Taiwanese organization mentions Devil May Cry 5. Released in 2019 and praised by critics with a score of 89 on Metacritic, this title could make its return to a new generation.

The insider who says a lot about future Nintendo hits

Beyond the classifications, a recognized insider, Nate the Hate, shared much more ambitious information. According to him, Nintendo would prepare several major titles in the first year of the console’s life.

  • A new Star Fox with a classic style planned for summer
  • A remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time in the second half of the year
  • A new Nintendo Switch Sports
  • Optimized versions of Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade Chronicles 2

These announcements, if confirmed, show a clear strategy: mixing nostalgia and new features to attract a wide audience from the launch.

A catalog that already extends until 2027

The leaks do not stop at 2026. Still according to the same source, Nintendo is already preparing for the future with a major project expected for 2027. It would be a new Mario game in 3D, a release which could become one of the most significant events of the generation. This type of title often accompanies the major stages in the life of a Nintendo console.

This timeline suggests that the Switch 2 would not only launch with a solid catalog, but that it would also benefit from a follow-up over several years, with regular releases.

Should we believe these Nintendo Switch 2 leaks?

All this information should be taken with caution. None have been officially confirmed by Nintendo, and leaks, even credible ones, may evolve. That said, the cross-referencing of several reliable sources – official organizations and recognized insiders – reinforces their credibility. This type of match is often a sign that certain announcements are no longer very far away.

For players, these elements already offer a concrete glimpse of what the next Nintendo generation could be: a mix of cult licenses, expected remakes and new features capable of rekindling interest from launch.
