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.
Bandai Namco just provided the latest on Captain Tsubasa 2: World Fighters, confirming the release date on Nintendo Switch 2 and offering up a new story trailer. The company is putting the game out on August 28, 2026.
Those who pre-order will receive the 2026 Japan National Team & World Youth Jersey Set, immediate access to the playable Brazil Youth team, and immediate access to two playable background music tracks “Moete Hero – World Fighters Ver.” and “Moete Hero – Youth Ver.”
Today, “All Pain No Gain” was revealed as the latest update for Brotato. Expect to see it soon on Nintendo Switch 2 and Switch.
The update adds the Nightmare difficulty level with exclusive enemies, the Wounded as a new character, the Rail gun as a new weapon, and a couple of new achievements. That’s on top of various balance adjustments.
The full rundown is as follows:
Little Kitty, Big City is celebrating its second anniversary with a free “Birthday Bash” update, which is out now on Nintendo Switch.
The patch features new birthday-themed content, an expanded apartment with a new NPC, a new hat, and other content. It’s also now possible to start the game as your custom cat and play through the entire adventure with fresh eyes.
Here’s a full overview of everything included:
Today, Red Art Games announced that it’s preparing a physical version of Monster Crown: Sin Eater for Nintendo Switch. It’s due out on September 3, 2026 in Europe.
Only a standard edition is planned. However, each copy includes a double-sided poster, so you’ll get a little something alongside the game.
Starting today, Farming Simulator: Signature Edition players on Nintendo Switch 2 can access the game’s ModHub. This is the first time the feature has been available on Nintendo’s console.
ModHub lets players enjoy mods to extend and customize their virtual farms. Over 4,000 modifications are available to download directly in-game. These feature more maps, machines, and gameplay that are user-generated and developer-tested.
Publisher Natsume has just announced the release date for Harvest Moon: Echoes of Teradea on both Nintendo Switch and Switch 2, marking the franchise’s first title on Nintendo’s new hardware. The game launches on September 24, with physical editions also confirmed for both consoles.
The game will feature different romance options, new exploration abilities, and more. Players will embark on a journey to help the Guardian Spirits restore and revitalize Teradea.
Publisher Dotemu has just announced a very special addition to its game, Absolum. In an update that is now available for players, the game now supports full cross-play, including on Nintendo Switch! The news was shared through the game’s official X account alongside a message from the developers on the Steam page.
iam8bit, Ivy Road, and Annapurna Interactive have announced a new physical release for Wanderstop on Nintendo Switch 2. The game is due out in boxed form on August 28, 2026.
Each copy will include some bonuses. Fans will be provided with a sticker pack, a double-sided poster, and an o-sleeve as an iam8bit exclusive. Note that the full game will be on the cartridge.
Alongside today’s launch, a new comparison video has come in for Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on Nintendo Switch 2, Xbox Series S, and PS5 Pro.
In terms of resolution, Nintendo Switch 2 has the edge over Xbox Series S. The use of DLSS boosts the resolution on Nintendo’s console, offering a sharper image.
