We’ve just heard from 2K that WWE 2K and NBA 2K are heading to Nintendo Switch 2.

That announcement took place during today’s Nintendo Direct. Unfortunately, very little information was provided. It’s not clear what 2K’s exact plans are and when the games will be available. Still, this is a noteworthy announcement.

Square Enix is developing Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster for Nintendo Switch 2, the company just revealed. It’s due out on June 5, 2025.

Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster brings back the original Nintendo 3DS RPG. As of now it seems that this will be just a graphical update.

Square Enix shared the following details:

Today, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion was announced for Nintendo Switch 2. The title is slated for September 5, 2025.

Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion is the next entry in the series that began on Nintendo Switch. Just like the original, it will offer more mecha action.

A slew of information can be found in the following overview:

Street Fighter 6 Nintendo Switch 2

Street Fighter 6, the latest entry in Capcom’s legendary fighting series, is heading to Nintendo Switch 2 complete with new amiibo. That news was just shared during today’s Nintendo Direct dedicated to the new console.

This mimics Capcom’s approach with the Nintendo 3DS many years ago. For the launch of that system, the company had Super Street Fighter 4: 3D Edition ready to go for launch.

All of the important details can be found in the following rundown:

Elden Ring Nintendo Switch 2

After its original launch in 2022, Elden Ring is making the jump to Nintendo Switch 2 with a Tarnished Edition. A release on the platform was confirmed as part of today’s Nintendo Direct for the console with the launch planned for 2025.

FromSoftware, the studio behind Dark Souls, is responsible for Elden Ring. The game is a full open world RPG with worldbuilding from American fantasy writer George R. R. Martin, known for the novels A Song of Ice and Fire.

Nintendo Switch 2 release date

Two of the biggest unknowns coming into today’s Nintendo Switch 2 presentation concerned release date and price. As part of today’s Nintendo Direct, we now have that information. The system is due out on June 5, 2025.

Nintendo Switch 2 seems to be following a similar pattern as its predecessor. In January 2017, Switch 1 had its big blowout. The system then released in March, so it was a pretty quick turnaround.

In what will come as no surprise to many, Nintendo officially revealed Mario Kart World for Switch 2 today. It launches alongside the new hardware.

Various elements were shown in the first trailer, including wall grinding and wall jumping, costumes, and more. Time of day and weather conditions will impact the atmosphere. Additionally, you can go off the race track. There’s still Grand Prix, but you’ll drive to the next course as part of the next competition. Knockout Tour has you racing nonstop from one part of the world to another with multiple checkpoints that cause elimination. Free Roam is also included in which you can freely drive around the world.

Nintendo Direct Switch 2 live stream

The big moment is almost upon us with Nintendo Direct: Nintendo Switch 2 beginning in just one hour. Fans can tune in starting at 6 AM PT / 9 AM ET / 3 PM in the UK / 4 PM in Europe. The event should be going on for about an hour.

Nintendo has actually said very little about today’s presentation. However, what you can expect is a huge blowout of Nintendo Switch 2, including various game announcements. Nintendo should also be explaining what new this time, and we’d be surprised if we didn’t get a release date.

While we’ve seen some leaked tech specs for Nintendo Switch 2 in the past, Digital Foundry shared the latest on that front today. This is a roundup of some previously-shared information and new findings.

A table from Digital Foundry outlines all of the important points clearly and also serves as a comparison to the current Nintendo Switch. That can be found below.

Fruitbus preview

As much as I enjoy cooking in real life, cooking in video games often is either so simple (i.e. combining ingredients in a menu) or so complex (i.e. Cooking Simulator) that it can struggle to truly feel fun. Maybe that’s why it was so easy for me to fall in love with Fruitbus, an upcoming first person adventure game that tasks the player with running a food truck business in a playful world. I had a blast demoing the game, and I can’t wait to spend more time exploring the game’s tropical paradise, hunting for exotic ingredients, and cooking up a storm for the locals.
