Upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 Games & Accessories For November & December 2025

To think a little more time to wait until Metroid Prime 4. Just don't get hit by a stray lightning bolt or get ambushed by velociraptors til then.

I am so ready for Age of Imprisonment. I feel like there is so much that they are hiding about it so I’m excited to experience it. (Still hoping for Yunobo)

Yikes!
A lot of game key card and code in box games I saw. 🤨
Well, I will choose the other version console instead.

I want to get into Hyrule Warriors, I just wish the prior games cost a little less so that I can determine whether id like it or not. Im definitely in for Metroid Prime 4 though!

I may be in for Assassins Creed Shadows too if the port runs well enough. Reviews will have influence over my decision for sure.

Games that have my interest/I definitely want to get at some point...

Double Dragon Revive
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment
Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
Mortal Kombat: Legacy Kollection
SpongeBob SquarePants: Titans of the Tide (my oldest loves SpongeBob)
Yooka-Replaylee

For me:

• Kirby Air Riders
• Metroid Prime 4: Beyond
• Octopath Traveler 0

and maybe the Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection.

@Anti-Matter Gotta support Hades II, Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection, and Yooka Replaylee then—the only third-party games that are actually on-cart!

@Divide_and_Wander There’s an Age of Calamity demo available on the eShop! I would say it’s enough to see if it’s your kind of game.

@ear_wig
I only play KIDS games.
I hate all those adult games.
For Yooka Replaylee, I will choose PS5 version instead even I knew the Switch 2 version in game card.

I see Daz has decided to go anonymous on these articles now. 😅

Anyways, out of the above, I'm very interested in how Terminator turns out.

Interested in Age of Imprisonment and Metroid Prime 4, but need to see more. The latest reveal for MP4 and the bike turned me off somewhat.

I will not play through another semi-ugly and mostly-barren shoe-horned in "open-world". If that was their pivot during those 8 years, it either needs to really land or I am at least hesitant to endorse it by buying. I certainly never asked for any open-world in my Metroid Prime.

The brutal reality is that the standard for a fantastical open-world has been set and it is - to my taste - Elden Ring. If it can capture (even a scaled down) a version of that sense of purposeful discovery and endless wonder, then great ... if not, then I don't have the willpower to power through any more such barren virtual lands anymore. I find it increasingly exhausting rather than joyful.

I might also check out the Kirby Air Riders trials. I never played the OG and I am at least somewhat curious, but unless it plays vastly different, I don't need more arcade racing right now.

No more planned new game purchases for me this year unless a holiday sale REALLY entices me, but I'll definitely pick up both Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Metroid Prime 4: Beyond when I eventually buy a Switch 2. It's possible I MAY cave for the latter on Switch 1 at some point, but I'm trying to hold out.

Kirby Air Rider & Metroid Prime 4 couldn't be more insta-buys if they tried. 😅

Age of Imprisonment needs a review for me. Liked the previous 2 in the HW series but I am saturated in the genre now. Has to be better than P5 strikers and the last FE musou game to be an insta-buy instead of an "eventual buy at some point in the Switch 2's life"

Also the Yakuza and Assassin's Creed games need reviews

Shadows, both Yakuza games and that's it until Christmas
And Old School Rally!

Where is the Last ninja collection???

I thought it was going to be released this year. 😔

Day one purchases.

Kirby Air Riders
Terminator 2D: No Fate

I want to know more before i might buy.

Metroid Prime 4
Assassin’s Creed Shadows
Octopath Traveler 0

You forgot to add Marvel Cosmic Invasion is coming to Switch 2 and 1 in December.

Also I'm planning on getting Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment and of course Metroid Prime 4 Beyond Nintendo Switch 2 Edition. I'm kinda sitting on the fence for the SpongeBob game after I tried out the demo...

Mp4 the only one that matters

any word on the mineru amiibo ? .. the nfc card has been out since the other new amiibo launched

I'm trying to make up my mind about Assassin's Creed Shadows. It's a series I've sworn I would never bother with again because it has charm but it's just not very good. Now the feudal japan setting though really makes me want to try out this one, plus I hear it's better in some ways.

For example, have they finally completely gotten rid of the present day segments? They are a curse tbh.

@ear_wig - Perfect! Thank you for the heads up.

I'm buying Kirby Air Riders physical, while I may just buy Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment much later because of the higher prices. Those are the two Switch 2 games I have an interest in.

Already preordered Hades 2 physical.

Since I refuse to purchase those game key cow$**t, I will definitely get the physical versions of Hyrule Warriors, Kirby and Metroid along the way, plus Octopath Traveller 0 switch version. Everything else eventually when they will be on sale on eshop.

Why didn't you just delete the Metroid prime 4 typo probably left it crossed out cause its more funny.

Still disappointed that Elden Ring got pushed back , but if it needed the extra time so be it.
After the decent port job Ubi did on SW Outlaws I’m intrigued to see how they get AC Shadows to run.

Ouch!

[that was my wallet]

For me:

• Metroid Prime 4
• Kirby Air Riders
• Hyrule Warriors

Tough choices will be made over the next two months. Ive already preordered Hyrule Warriors, and Kirby Air Riders is a must-buy for me. After that though, the cold weather and my mood may prefer the idea of an open world assassin’s creed game rather than the claustrophobic corridors of a metroid game, but we’ll see, Im waiting to be really excited about Metroid Prime 4 just yet - a demo would help me prioritize my purchases.

@YunoboCo Right? Im rarely so confident that I will love a game that really so little has been revealed about. I’ve been slowly getting psyched up for this game for a couple of weeks now.

MP4 is a D1 purchase for me, I can't wait to play it.

About Octopath Traveler 0, releasing it as a game-key card on Switch 2 is not a biggie for me, since I wasn't going to get it physical anyway, but I still fail to see any good reason why it's going to be released in that format.

Within a month, we'll get Hyrule Warriors AoI, Yakuza Kiwami 1+2, Dragon Ball Sparkling Zero, Kirby Air Riders, Assassins Creed Shadows, Octopath Traveler 0 and Metroid Prime 4... Too much for our poor wallets!

Samus and Kirby definitely for me and most probably Zelda Musou and Yooka-Replaylee at some point. A strong end to the year!

Only a month till Metroid Prime 4 is here and honestly we know next to nothing about the game. It's obviously intentional but for what reason. Worries me a bit.

@mlt those were terrible. I still want to go back and play thru origins because I love the setting in Egypt but those segments really screeched my progression to a halt. Odyssey doesn’t have those and I had a fantastic time with it, it’s a very long game tho. Valhalla I tried but put down pretty quickly for some reason. Both of those don’t have the present day segments so maybe this one won’t as well.

There’s plenty here I’m looking forward to. Metroid, Kirby air riders, Hyrule Warriors, Terminator, hades 2, octopath 0, Yooka, and mortal kombat, double dragon are all preordered. I’ve also got the good old days preordered that’s not out yet for this month and cosmic invasion I will definitely get whenever it’s available.

Going to be a busy winter for me. Prime 4, Dragon Quest 1-2, Hades 2, Octopath 0, Air Riders, and potentially Age of Imprisonment and Replaylee depending on the reviews. The backlog grows!

@YunoboCo
Younobo is from about 10,100+ years in the future...

Unless they are unlockable after the game story is done or they time travel, I doubt any champion will be present, with the exception of Zelda

@Anti-Matter
Big surprize there... Even full on cart games, you usually get games on other systems

@Ralek85
I really need to learn better...
The last time I pre-ordered a digital game from a Ninty eShop was Star Fox Zero. That game sucked!

This time, I used vouchers to get Z-A and Prime 4.
Z-A is okay, but looks super bland, and the catching controls are not fun... I keep messing up.

Prime 4 looks bad this time! I was hoping for something similar to Prime 1 and Hunters. Instead we get something like Breath/Tears. I HOPE they don't force mouse controls on us!

@TrueBlueYoshi came here to call out the Marvel Cosmic Invasion miss too. It’s the one I’m most excited about.

No love for Inazuma Eleven after the success of their last game Fantasy Life i. I’ve been waiting years for Inazuma Eleven

I've already got Terminator 2D Day 1 and CE preordered, Mandragora CE and I'll get MP4 as well.
Would like more info on MP4 as it worries me they're not showing a lot on it
The bike doesn't look good and the open world is a worry.
Time will tell

Terrible that you don’t actually list the best prices. Kirby is available for as low as £54 from shopto (Who I personally don’t like) but the Game Collection or Curry’s have it at £57. Sucks how much content now is written not for the reader but so the site can make money from affiliate links. (Only reviewing games that give review codes is another problem.)

Okay maybe some of the numbers are just wrong but the principle still applies.

Hades 2 and Prime 4 already pre-ordered. Will wait on the reviews for Hyrule Warriors before deciding on that one.

Ok just a couple months to go to ride out this game barrage. The retail physicals below were/are all on my preorder list:

2 weeks ago: Double Dragon Revive
Last week: Turok Dinosaur Hunter Collection
This week: Zelda Imprisonment
Nov 20: Kirby Air Riders, Hades II
Nov 26: Terminator 2
Dec 6: Metroid Akira
Dec 12: MK Collection
Dec 18: Yooka Replaylee

Hopefully nothing is coming out in Jan/Feb so I have time to play some of these! I’ve been playing Hades II since the digital launch (had to double-dip on that one) and Absolum is on deck right now.

@Spider-Kev Are you talking about digital preorders?
If so, I really don't mean to be rude, but those are plain stupid. It's not a limited "good" (no good at all really). I general think preordering is a terrible idea unless you are 100% sure and it is some limited edition of one variety or another. I never understood the point and with digital there is just none.

Just my two cents on this

As for Prime: I think it is confirmed that Mouse Controls are optional, which I think is perfect as it would be insane for there to be no mouse controls and impossible for there to be only mouse controls (gotta be playable in handheld afterall, plus it is a Switch 1 release as well). But yeah, like I said, I am also worried that they might force Metroid into the same mold they "discovered" with BotW.

I will keep an open mind until we know what the game is like. If they went that route, it might still work out, but it is definitely not a given seeing how a big part of the Metroidvania-formula is the opposite of "freedom", not to mention that classic claustrophic atmosphere the games thrived on.

I can't believe that even Dragon Quest 1 & 2 is going to be a game-key-card for the Switch 2, along with others??
So disappointing. It makes me not want to upgrade to the Switch 2 at all, tbh.

Meanwhile, the Switch 1 will have the full game, so I'll definitely be getting that. Switch 1 physical games will go up in value in time compared to Switch 2 game-key-cards.

Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, Metroid Prime 4 and Mortal Kombat Legacy Edition are on my list.

Hyrule Warriors for me. MK physical preordered, too. Also, AC Shadows, on Steam 😈 (There is a nice -40% sale now). Aaaaaaand the “Utterly Evil”-Prize for this month goes to Square Enix. Pushing this fckn GKC approach AND not providing upgrade path for those who buys S1 version is way beyond the usual level, it is simply evil. I hope S2 sales will reflect for them how bad this approach is.

Counting down the days to Thursday for Age of Imprisonment!
