The Nintendo Switch 2 was finally revealed last week by Nintendo. Unfortunately, it was only shown off alongside one game, a new Mario Kart, complete with controversial changes. And while there are many rumored Nintendo Switch 2 games, including a 2024 game of the Year nominee, next to none have been confirmed for the console. In the coming weeks and months this will obviously change. To this end, many major Nintendo Switch 2 games will no doubt be revealed in April at the first-ever Nintendo Switch 2 Direct.

Removing rumored games from the equation, as well as unconfirmed games in general, you are left with just eight confirmed Nintendo Switch 2 games. This is at least the case as of January 19, 2025.
Most of these games are not very consequential. Indeed, two of the eight games are smaller releases no doubt seeking a little extra attention by announcing a Nintendo Switch 2 release before everyone else. That said, those looking for the games that have been confirmed for the Nintendo Switch 2 so far have come to the right place. They are as follows:
Mario Kart
A new mainline Mario Kate is finally in development and expected to release alongside the Nintendo Switch 2 as a Nintendo Switch 2 launch game. What the new Mario Kart game is called, we don’t know.
