GoKawiilAfter a Zelda-focused Nintendo Direct on Tuesday — where we got an in-depth look at the Ocarina of Time remake and news of a Zelda-themed Nintendo Switch 2 — a second stream gave us a peek at what else is in store from the company and its partners. Wednesday's Direct was mainly about games that are coming to Switch 2 this winter, but it also included titles for Switch and others that are further out.
The Direct got underway with news of a Monster Hunter Wilds port for Switch 2. It's coming to the console on December 4.
Final Fantasy 7 Revelation is confirmed for the system as well. The third part of the Final Fantasy 7 remake trilogy will hit Switch 2 on April 8, 2027, the same day it arrives on other platforms. You can get warmed up for that with Crisis Core: Final Fantasy 7 Reunion — a prequel to Final Fantasy 7 — which is out on Switch 2 today.
Next up was news of a Switch 2 version of Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity, which will arrive on February 25. The hack-and-slash Zelda spinoff (which is set a century before the events of Breath of the Wild) debuted on Switch in 2020. Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity – Definitive Edition has upgraded visuals and enhanced framerates, Nintendo says, along with more on-screen enemies. All of the DLC is included along with a new, tougher difficulty mode. There won't be a free upgrade if you own the Switch version, but you will get a discount. You can transfer your save data as well.
Many indie games that became hits on PC have made their way to the Switch ecosystem, and Meccha Chameleon is another one that's making the jump. The ridiculously popular multiplayer hide-and-seek game (in which players hunt for others that have painted their characters to blend in with the environment) sold more than 20 million copies within about two months of debuting on Steam in June. Switch 2 owners don't have to wait any longer to see what the fuss is all about as Meccha Chameleon is landing on the console today.
The second expansion for Pokémon Pokopia will bring accessories to the laidback life sim. You'll be able to put sunglasses, ribbons and bowties on Pokémon, more of which are coming to the game as part of the DLC. This expansion is coming to the game later this year.
Star Fox will soon include a split-screen option for up to four players in Battle Mode, which will also have a trio of new stages. This update will go live on September 29. There was other news for this series, as GameCube title Star Fox Adventures is coming to the Nintendo Switch Online library today.
The Witcher 3: Wild Hunt — Remastered (which will be free for those who own the original game on Switch) will arrive on September 29 and Nintendo revealed a few more details about the Switch 2 version. It will support mouse and motion controls, gyro aiming and touchscreen use.
Kingdom Come: Deliverance 2 — one of Engadget's favorite games of 2025 — is on the way to Switch 2. This port includes all of the action RPG's DLC and it's coming to Nintendo's console sometime in 2027.
Nintendo took the opportunity to remind Direct viewers that Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave is out on September 17 with a brief trailer. There was also a reminder that Lego Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is swooping onto Switch 2 on September 18.
