2025 was a huge year for Nintendo, to say the least. Fans have been eagerly awaiting the Nintendo Switch 2 for what feels like a lifetime – this even dates back to 2020 and 2021 with the then-endless “Switch Pro” rumors. But now, Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, and it’s already cemented itself as one of the fastest-selling video game consoles of all time. Nintendo released a fair number of exclusives this year as well, including big titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, among many others. Given that 2025 is coming to an end, we figured it’s a better time than ever to take a look back at one of Nintendo’s busiest years. So today, we’re recounting Nintendo Switch 2’s reveal, its launch, and going over and reviewing every major Switch and Switch 2 game released this year.
