The rest of the titles revealed during the showcase didn’t have the same name recognition, but it was an eclectic bunch. Highlights includes Denshattack, which looks like a long-lost Dreamcast cult classic as it mashes up Tony Hawk-style skateboarding with, uh, trains. It’s launching on June 17th on the Switch 2, and a demo will be available in the eShop today. (You can also check out a demo on Steam.) And while My Little Puppy may look absolutely adorable, feel like there has to be a darker twist to this adventure game, which follows a dog exploring the afterlife. It launches on the Switch on May 29th.

Other games include: party game Heave Ho 2 (summer), action-RPG / shop management hybrid Moonlighter 2 (Switch 2 in 2026), impossibly charming “diorama puzzle game” Woodo (summer), bullet hell shooter Minishoot’ Adventures (launching today), stop-motion-esque horror game The Midnight walk (Switch 2 on March 26th), co-op brawler Rotwood from the team behind Don’t Starve (Switch 2 later today), dreamy teen adventure Mixtape (Switch 2 on May 27th), Diablo-style dungeon crawler Blighted (Switch 2 in the fall), sci-fi shooter (with mouse controls!) Deadzone: Rogue (Switch 2 on March 17th), and black-and-white photography adventure Toem 2 (summer).

The presentation lasted less than 20 minutes, but managed to cram in a surprising number of interesting games, which continues to be important for the Switch 2 moving forward. This week also sees the launch of the Pokémon spinoff Pokopia, but aside from that the lineup for first-party Switch 2 games is pretty slim. But the recent focus on third-party titles and indie games is helping Nintendo fill in the gaps in its schedule while fans wait to see what the next big Switch 2 exclusive is.
