Thousands of games are currently available on Switch, and there are a ton of demos out there for many of them. Not just Nintendo, but also third-parties are offering demos. We’ve now put together a comprehensive list of what’s out there.
Since our reader base is English-speaking, that’s what we’re focusing on here. In other words, we’re highlighting Switch demos that you can find in North America and Europe. Japan has a few extra demos on its end, but a majority of them are for titles that are not currently being sold in the west and are only playable in Japanese.
Nintendo has updated the Japanese Switch and Switch 2 release schedule on eShop for the week of September 18, 2025. Various new titles are on the way, highlighted by Towa and the Guardians of the Sacred Tree, Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, and more.
Here’s a look at the upcoming digital download schedule:
It doesn’t appear that Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment will have a special edition in the west, but in Japan, a Treasure Box has been revealed.
This will include the game as well as several extras. Players will receive a scarf, cloth poster, acrylic standee, wood keychain, and a pair of clear sheets. Although the Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment Treasure Box won’t be coming west, we’ll let you know if we see import pre-orders as Nintendo Switch 2 is region-free.

There’s something about that bobcat, isn’t there? Since making his debut in 1993, Bubsy has lived in gaming infamy for his in-your-face attitude, and also for the reputation of his games not being the best the platforming genre has to offer. Even still, the character has had an unmistakable impact on the industry, and whether ironic or sincere, he has garnered a following and earned himself a cult status amongst platforming mascots. This led to a revival of the series in the late 2010s with a nineteen year gap between the releases of Bubsy 3D in 1996 and Bubsy: The Woolies Strike Back in 2017. Now, in 2025, we have a brand new collection of Bubsy’s original run of games before his near two-decade long catnap.

A bunch of new Switch 2 and Switch games were revealed during today’s Nintendo Direct, and as a way of rounding up everything being added to major retailers, we’re setting up a dedicated post. This post will also include newly-revealed amiibo.
Here’s the full roundup:
Nintendo has shared pricing information for the Kirby Air Riders amiibo, and they will be by far the most expensive figures we’ve seen thus far.
Two new figures were revealed earlier today. Kirby & Warp Star is planned alongside Bandana Waddle Dee & Winged Star. Nintendo has teased future amiibo updates for as well, but we’re waiting to hear about what that means.
Going along with DLC just revealed for the game, Donkey Kong Bananza has received a new 2.0.0 update.
Support for the DLC is naturally the big feature here. On top of that though, Nintendo has increased the Banandium Chips cap to 99,999. Other unspecified changes are also included, so you’ll want to install the update when you can.
Here’s the official rundown from Nintendo;
