The Nintendo Direct presentation earlier this week was filled with so many quality announcements it was mindblowing at times. There were games we were expecting to see, like Overwatch, and then others such as Deadly Premonition 2, that completely shocked us.
To help Switch owners absorb everything, the Nintendo of America Twitter account has now uploaded a graphic, showing off all of these announcements and games. Some of the games featured are already out and have simply been updated, while others are being released later this month and year. We've also got some arriving early next year. See for yourself below:
For your added convenience, we've also created a round-up of the entire presentation. It includes every game and trailer that was shown during the most recent Direct. It also features an in-depth look at the new Super Smash Bros. Ultimate DLC fighter, Banjo-Kazooie.
What games on this graphic are you interested in playing? Will you be getting just a few of the new releases in the coming months, or do you plan to add all of them to your Switch library? Tell us down below.

Interesting games for me from the picture above:
1. Animal Crossing New Horizons
2. Pokemon Sword
3. Mario & Sonic at Tokyo 2020 Olympic Games
4. Luigi Mansion 3
I still unsure with Link's Awakening despite of its cuteness since i'm not a fan of Zelda games.
Could swear I hear my wallet sobbing in the dresser....
But but but the Switch "doesn't have any games."
So sayith ze gaming casuals.
Aaahhhhhh yeeaahhh i am first. I'd like to thank my mom, Nintendo Life and all my invisible fans. Thank you.
Edit : No..no...no..i am not first. Argh! I hate life. ;(
This year has been one of the best years of gaming I’ve experienced in so long and I love it, I always have something to play! Not sure how they’re going to top this year.. perhaps prime 4? Mother 3? Heh.. I guess I could dream
It wasn't the most exciting Direct for me as a lot of the third party games announced don't interest me too much but that's just fine as I already have an absurd number of Switch games pre-ordered for the next few months.
Nintendo is doing very little to help my backlog problem. Especially where RPGs and action/adventure games are involved....
This Direct wasn’t too good for me since there were no surprises (at least surprises that interest me) but the huge amount of games being released is astounding. I can’t keep this pace. I just don’t have the money needed to buy everything I want on release day... and that’s great!
2019 it’s being a great year for gaming.
Ah, a visual reminder of why we're broke.
I hope people give deadly premonition a try.
I put a lot of time into Tokyo Mirage Sessions and really enjoyed it but never finished it. Same with Xenoblade Chronicles (Wii and 3DS). I'm glad they're both being released again. Hopefully i complete them this time.
If you add these from their last direct to these new ones, that's a whole lot of games your money can't handle and that's not counting the games we are still awaiting such as Shin Megami Tensei 5, Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild 2, and Metroid Prime 4.

Devil May Cry 2 down there like a dirty little secret.
Deadly Premonition 2 was the biggest surprise for me!Absolutely loved the first one back on the Xbox 360 so will definitely be picking up that.
Others I'm excited for are:
Trials Of Mana,
Xenoblade Chronicles,
Luigi's Mansion 3,
Tokyo Mirage Sessions,
Little Town Hero and Zelda Links Awakening..
To think I only bought the Switch because of Mario and Rabbids Kingdom Battle...
Nintendo announced a Switch remake of a first party adventure/detective for the Famicom Disk System in Japan? Was that game not announced for the West?
Daemon ex Machina, Luigi's Mansion 3, Pokemon, Banjo in Smash, Animal Crossing, and the Super Nintendo app for me. Other than even more SNES games I'm set.
Can somebody like, put a few more hours in a day?
I was hoping Alien Isolation was going to get dates, I believe it was rated by the ESRB in August so was expecting it soon (Halloween maybe? Risky with Luigis Mansion)
I was kind of bummed by the opening and closing games, I thought that they will at least tease us with XC3....
NintenDOOMED? no just Doom 64.
Lol, lots of awesome games cant wait for the xenoblade remake!
@roboshort They weren't announced for here, no. https://gematsu.com/2019/09/famicom-tantei-club-i-and-ii-remakes-announced-for-switch
Glad to see Outer worlds still on there, the devs aren’t saying anything about switch. We Only had the trailer
When is Panzer Dragoon supposed to come out again?
We heard next to nothing about Shin Megami Tensei V since it's trailer back during the Switch presentation 2 years ago. It's time for an update!
I used to maintain a spreadsheet with the games I'm interested in. Nintendo has made maintaining that sheet impossible. From this year's releases, I believe I'm super interested in getting two - Dragon Quest XI and Witcher 3. But I have a ton of games/DLC-s in the second tier. And now that eshop hosts a lot more sales, what am I going to do!
Animal Crossing gameplay was a bit dissapointing...nothing really new. Hope they announce new functions. If it is just similar to the old 3DS version but with better graphics then it would be a pass for me. Dragon Quest Builders 2 has raised the bar for me.
I'm particularly interested in Zelda: Link's Awakening, Ori and the Blind Forest and Doom Eternal... Why Doom64 and no announcement for the newst one? When the Switch edition of Doom Eternal will be available?
@retro_player_22 Wow! It really is a great time to be a Nintendo gamer.
@retro_player_22
Has Dark Souls 2 been confirmed?
Looking foward to a good few of these!
I also enjoy how thoroughly wrong the 'leakers' were about the Direct.
only game that interests me is Animal Crossing, but i might get a switch lite just for that (and a few ohter exclusives of the past)
@hakjie11 I totally understand what you are saying. However, after putting over an hour of gameplay in DQB 2, I decided not to get the game. I really wanted to like it, and I did like parts of it. But the block visuals were not appealing to me, and I couldn't see putting 50-100 hours looking at that.
While the visuals of Animal Crossing look great. Yes, it seems the game play is similar. And I am lowering my expectations by telling myself it will not be as good as New Leaf. However, to me, the world is so pretty, the game play relaxing, the dialog funny. I am looking forward to New Horizons!
Once I get my hands on pokemon, I can finally say the rest of my life will never experience more joy then I do at that moment.
@Magician Thankfully thats never been the case!
Thought i'd never say it but too many games I want !!!
Rogue company and Star Wars are to close together. Glancing at it I thought i'd missed a Rogue Squadron announcement. Now i'm sad.
Some great games there... But adding all the incoming indies like River City Girls, Blasphemous, New Gunvolt Game, and much others.... Switch is full of difficult choices, specially with days only having 24 hours.
Sleeping? No can do... Too much gaming backlog.
@retro_player_22 I think that you mean Asphalt 9 and not 8. That is my favourite Android racing franchise.
Easy: Get the 3 TOP games, the rest in sales!
I always enjoy a god graphic but I liked them a lot better when they were broken up into a timeline, w/o the timeline it's just a jumbled mess.
Here's the graphic Nintendo gave us at E3 which already had most of these games with dates.
https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2019/06/nintendo_shares_colourful_graphic_outlining_upcoming_switch_releases
It's just a few names of games.... Click bait
Iggy azalea is releasing a game of her songs to dance to. Please what is going on with desperate releases and who would by that tripe. So funny
ok capcom quick question
why the hell would you release the devil may cry games individually as opposed to in the form of an hd collection port
who is going to buy devil may cry 2 by itself???
@dugan I think the nostalgia of 100+ hours I put into New Leaf would still make me consider buying it. But let's say I expect at least a score of 9/10 for New Horizons. I mean it has to be impressive anything less and the years of wait would not be worth it.
You should retry DQB2, you can do so much more then New Leaf and is, in my opinion, much better then Minecraft. On youtube you can find some unbelievable creations and people can also visit your town like New Leaf.
@hakjie11 I really don't know what more you could want from AC without changing what the series fundamentally is. We have crafting, furniture outdoors, more tangible rewards for completing goals, better graphics, path creation, food consumption with what might be cooking, and more customization than ever before.
I have like 7 games still in the plastic wrapper. Other still in the amazon box, and I don't even remember what I bought.
I should just head for a mountain, get away from the grid and play all my backlog games and comeback down when I'm done
@Magician,
We have gone from gaming droughts with the Wii U to gaming deluge with the Switch.
The Deadly Premonition announcements really made me forget about anything else.
@retro_player_22 yes surley someone can make an infographic that shows everything on a timeline?
@KingBowser SMT5 along with Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4, and Pikmin 4. We've gotten radio silence on all of these, and Pikmin 4 remains a complete and utter mystery.
@Shiro28 Hahaha, I’ve had that same thought.
*comes out of cave with 6 foot long beard, and backlog completed
“Ahh... sun... bright... wha... what year is it?”
Hide yo’ cards, hide yo’ wallet...
@personauser93 Yes it would be difficult to improve, but I do think they are withholding a lot of new features until close to launch date ( I hope). To me AC is all about collecting. I like to fill the museum.
Games that I'm interested in:
SNES games
Tetris 99 (Yes, I'm a biggest fan of that game)
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Remake
Animal Crossing: New Horizons
Ni no Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch
I love graphics like these. Easy to visualize and pick out the heavy hitters. ♥
Already have Pokémon, Luigi's Mansion 3, Dragon Quest XI S and Ni No Kuni preordered. Skipping the Witcher 3 because it is too expensive.
Also will be getting Overwatch, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, Trials of Mana, The Outer Worlds, Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020, Animal Crossing New Horizons but we knew most of these already or they are kind of ports.
It sure is a lot of ports and remakes
Snes app will keep me going for a while. The nostalgia is real! Currently playing Demons crest, the rewind feature is making life easier, already past where I could get to as a kid lol
I haven't even finished the school year in Three Houses yet. Aaaarghghg!
By my count there are only four new, original games in this list. The vast majority are ports and remasters.
PORT 18
Overwatch
Tokyo Mirage
Super NES Online
DQ XI
Witcher 3
Return of Obra Dinn
Deadly Premonition Origins
Deadly Premonition 2

@hakjie11 Okay, fair enough. I will look at youtube for creations and think about it. The dialog in the game is hilarious and I did really like the crafting. And since I like the building in Mario Maker 2, I may like the building in DQB 2. Thanks for the words, friend!
@mauhlin12 Adding more hours wont really change much.
@retro_player_22 correct me if I'm wrong, but i haven't heard Nintendo talk about dark souls 2 for the switch. Not that it's beyond realm of possibility though. But i haven't heard that until you mentioned that.
aww man, so colourful! are the games in colour too?
