Switch demos

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.

To differing extents, every new Pokemon release is met with some level of scrutiny. For Pokemon Scarlet and Violet, this scrutiny was completely understandable – the game launched in a buggy, laggy state, and it remains that way on standard Nintendo Switch consoles. Thankfully, Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s launch generally went over much smoother with hardcore Pokemon fans. While it isn’t perfect by any means (check out my review for more info), it’s a solid entry that will no doubt please anyone who enjoyed Pokemon Legends: Arceus. Now, Pokemon Legends: Z-A has received its corresponding DLC pack just two months after launch. And it’s very easy to sum up: if you liked Pokemon Legends: Z-A’s base game, you’ll like the DLC. If you didn’t care much for the base game, Mega Dimension won’t win you over.

The Game Awards has thrown us a bunch of news, including a new teaser trailer for The Super Mario Galaxy Movie. The film is still on track for an April 2026 release.

In this teaser we see Mario and Luigi Facing off against Benny Safdie’s Bowser Jr. Eagle eyed viewers have also pointed out that Luigi’s knee attack is very reminiscent of Captain Falcon’s knee smash in the Super Smash Bros. Series.

You can check out the new teaser trailer below.

Mega Man Dual Override

Capcom is making Mega Man Dual Override for both Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch, the company just revealed. The project is lined up for 2027.

Given how far away the game is, it’s not surprising that we don’t have much information currently. The tagline reads: “Mega Man returns in 2027 with a brand-new entry in the classic action platforming series! Override challenges and blast down legions of robots while springboarding across a new array of futuristic frontiers!”

Take a look at the first trailer for Mega Man: Dual Override below.
