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.
A number of new deals are up and running on the North American Nintendo Switch eShop. These include the lowest prices ever for Grindstone, Nine Sols, The Stanley Parable: Ultra Deluxe, and more.
Here’s the full roundup:
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.
This is a new approach to physical media, which has seen a mixed reaction. In a way, it’s a hybrid between a true physical release and a download code. Each box comes with a cartridge, but there’s nothing really included. Rather than coming with all content, you’ll need to download the game first. After that you don’t need to connect online, but you need to insert the card each time you play.
One last trailer has been released to celebrate the launch of Heart of Crown. This is a new deck-building game of royal succession for Nintendo Switch.
For more information about the game, read the following overview:
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. Meanwhile, Octopath Traveler 0 places on both charts.
The full lineup of Japan’s best-selling games on the Switch 2 and Switch eShops for December 2025 is as follows:
Listings on the eShops provide file sizes for a bunch of Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch games. These include Dispatch, They Are Billions, and more.

The latest Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of January 18, 2026 are now available.
Animal Crossing: New Horizons still has its upgrade at the top spot. However, with pre-loads starting for Final Fantasy 7 Remake Intergrade, it’s already at #2 (with the Digital Deluxe Edition just out of the top five as well).
Below are the full Nintendo Switch 2 eShop charts for the week of January 18, 2026:
2025 was a big year for Nintendo in many ways, but it was also arguably the biggest year yet for King K. Rool, one of the company’s most beloved villains. You could argue that 2018 was the king’s best year, given the announcement of his inclusion in Super Smash Bros. Ultimate as a new fighter. 2025 was at least a close second, then – thanks to King K. Rool’s appearances in games and even on the Nintendo Today app, it seems his future could be brighter than ever. Note that there will be spoilers in this post.
Koei Tecmo has has commented on the possibility of giving the very first Fatal Frame remake. This comes as part of an interview with 4Gamer.
Next month, we’ll be seeing Fatal Frame 2 Remake. Some might be wondering why Koei Tecmo didn’t start with the first entry in the series. That would make logical sense, and we did technically see Project Zero 2: Wii Edition back in the day (although that one never came to North America).
