The roughly 50-minute showcase, followed by a 95-minute Nintendo Treehouse Live gameplay session, highlighted first- and third-party games spanning 2026 and 2027. It emphasized Switch 2 enhancements and several surprise announcements that excited fans awaiting new hardware-supported experiences.
Nintendo closed the Direct with confirmation of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake, due sometime in 2026 exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2. A brief tease showed updated visuals of the classic, with Nintendo promising more details soon. “The Nintendo 64 classic returns for a new generation in 2026, reborn exclusively for Nintendo Switch 2,” the company stated, per IGN.
Square Enix provided major highlights. Kingdom Hearts 4 received its first substantial reveal with gameplay footage, coming to Nintendo Switch 2 at launch alongside PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S, PC and other platforms. The full Kingdom Hearts Collection (I~III) arrives on Switch 2 on October 8.
Also from Square Enix, Final Fantasy Resonance — a new HD-2D turn-based RPG — launches October 22, 2026, on Switch 2, Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, Xbox Series X|S and PC, per IGN.
Nintendo detailed several first-party updates, according to Gamespot. Splatoon Raiders, a single-player-focused spin-off, launches July 23 with a dedicated Splatoon Raiders Direct scheduled for June 30. A free Star Fox demo is available now, with the full game releasing on Switch 2 June 25.
Nintendo Switch Sports Resort adds new motion minigames and arrives exclusively on Switch 2 October 22. A new Xenoblade title, Xenoblade Genesis, was announced for 2027 on Switch 2. Enhanced Nintendo Switch 2 editions of previous Xenoblade Chronicles games also received release windows and upgrades.
Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave received a new trailer and confirmed September 17 release. Rhythm Heaven Groove launches July 2 on Switch with over 80 rhythm minigames.
Third-party support proved strong. Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition arrives on Switch 2 June 23. Stellar Blade heads to Switch 2 later in 2026. Minecraft receives a dedicated Switch 2 version with improved visuals this year. Lies of P: Complete Edition launches August 6, and Lords of the Fallen 2 arrives this fall.
Other titles include Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World (December 3), Big Walk (August 4), Orbitals (September 3), Onimusha: Way of the Sword (September 25), and Rayman Legends Retold (October 1). Deltarune Chapter 5 arrives as a free update June 24.
