August is here, and while Nintendo Switch 2 owners are still blitzing through Donkey Kong: Bananza, the latest Nintendo Direct Partner Showcase gave us a better look at third-party titles coming in 2025 and beyond.

Currently, there’s nothing on the docket for September, but the month could easily go to Kirby Air Riders, which is supposed to come out this year. And after Pokémon Legends: Z-A ’s release in October, the “winter” will belong to Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment (and maybe Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which is also due out sometime in 2025).

Nintendo Switch 2 is in the early stages of its lifecycle, which means the competition to be named the best Nintendo Switch 2 game isn’t quite as intense as it’s sure to be a little ways down the road. However, it’s already amassed a solid library of worthwhile games, and it’s growing every week.
