The Nintendo Switch 2 has been available for three months since its launch on June 5. During this period, over 50 games have been released on the platform, ranging from major titles to smaller indie projects.
While some developers are still obtaining development kits, many smaller studios have successfully launched Switch 2 games. Nintendo appears to be carefully controlling access to the eShop, likely to maintain focus on key first-party titles and avoid an oversaturated library.
Compared to the original Switch, which continues to receive new games weekly, the Switch 2’s release rate is slower. Many available titles are ports or remastered versions rather than entirely new experiences. For gamers without a backlog, the current lineup may feel underwhelming.
Nonetheless, the quality of games remains strong, with several well-regarded classics included. The release of the highly anticipated Silksong injects fresh content into the platform’s catalog. Nintendo Life is preparing a review of this title to share soon.
