List of all Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release
Posted on 1 day ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in News, Switch 2 | 0 comments
Following the launch of Nintendo Switch 2, we’re putting together a complete list of Nintendo Switch 2 games with a game-key card release.

After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.

Nintendo recently shared new data revealing the best-selling games on the Japanese Switch 2 and Switch eShops for December 2025.
December brought along a couple of notable games, including Metroid Prime 4: Beyond – it hits #8 on Nintendo Switch 2, but isn’t in the top 20 on Switch. Metroid hasn’t been a particularly popular franchise in Japan and Beyond has been pushed as a game for Nintendo’s latest console, so that likely impacted placement.
