Our list of the bestnew Nintendo Switch games is here to cover the amazing titles you can expect in 2024, so you can learn all about the biggest and best names arriving on the portable console over the coming months. It’s not all blockbusters though, as the Switch is a bit of an indie machine at the moment, and it’s only going to get better.
While a few of the upcoming Switch games only have a vague release window at the moment, we’re sure an absolute truckload of cracking new games will reach the console by the end of 2024. Who knows, we may even finally get a Nintendo Switch 2 release date. If you need a little something to play right now, you can also take a look at our list of the best Nintendo Switch games.
Here are the best new Switch games coming in 2024 and beyond:
The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom - out now!
It’s finally time to save Hyrule as the titular princess! In Echoes of Wisdom, you take on the role of Zelda as she attempts to save the people of Hyrule – one of whom just so happens to be a certain familiar swordsman – as they’re being stolen away by strange rifts.
You can expect to team up with a fairy named Tri and use the Tri Rod to create “echoes” (hey, just like the name of the game!), which are imitations of things you find in the environment. Different echoes help you whenever you need to solve puzzles and defeat enemies.
Check out our The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom review for more of our thoughts.
Super Mario Party Jamboree – October 17, 2024
Everyone loves Mario Party, and as Monty Mole main myself, I’m very happy to see the whimsical little guy make a triumphant return. In Jamboree, you get to play over 110 different mini-games, more than any Mario Party in the past, spanning across seven unique boards.
My only piece of advice here is to never steal a star from a loved one, it’s likely to cause irreparable relationship damage. On the flip side, it’s a great game for a first date if you want to check out a person’s red flags.
Sonic X Shadow Generations – October 25, 2024
Sonic is back, and this time you have the chance to play both modern and classic Sonic games in one brand-new, super-speedy collection. This Nintendo Switch title includes a remaster of Sonic Generations, a game in which you travel through time to play numerous 3D and 2D levels with some fresh bonus content.
