Nintendo Switch 2's launch lineup has begun to leak, but what do you want to see for the console? Here's our wishlist for the Switch 2 launch games ahead of April 2Tech08:00, 19 Mar 2025Nintendo Switch 2 is being fully revealed on April 2(Image: Nintendo)The Nintendo Switch 2 reveal is closer than ever, with April 2 expected to be a monumental day for the company as it reveals its new console's release date and pricing.With the Switch 2 expected to leverage AI upscaling tech to offer higher resolutions than its predecessor, its games will look much better but what games will form the launch lineup?Article continues belowWhile we've already had some very notable titles leak, we've picked our dream Switch 2 lineup and we reckon we've got a few of them right, too. Here are our picks for the Switch 2 launch lineup.It seems very likely that the Switch 2 could launch with not one, but two Mario titles. While the console's initial reveal showed off a new Mario Kart title, rumours have persisted the former plumber is due another 3D adventure.Given Super Mario Odyssey launched in 2017 and we've only had remasters and a sort of 'proof of concept' in Bowser's Fury since, that seems likely.Metroid Prime 4 is also alive and kicking, and could mark the first-person shooter series first new entry since 2007's Corruption. Given that the most recent footage made our current Switch consoles let out a gasp, there's every chance the Switch 2 will be the best place to play Samus' latest adventure.Breath of the Wild was one of the best games of all time - and it launched alongside the Switch(Image: Nintendo)We've heard rumours that Nintendo has been saving a Zelda remake or remaster for the Switch 2 launch, but our hopes are that we just get an enhanced version of Breath of the Wild and/or Tears of the Kingdom.Both games feel like they push the original console to its limits (particularly the latter), and we'd love to see them bumped up to 4K resolution.Three Houses was a great strategy RPG(Image: DS )Finally for Nintendo, we're going for a bit of a long shot. Fire Emblem Engage launched in 2023, meaning there may have been enough time since it launched (and 2019's excellent Three Houses) to warrant a fresh entry.Developer Intelligent Systems has certainly been busy in recent years, but here's hoping for a new strategy RPG to sink our teeth into on the new console.The first Halo title is Combat Evolved, which saw an Xbox 360 remaster(Image: Microsoft)The Switch 2 will mark the first Nintendo launch since Microsoft adjusted to go multiplatform, and Xbox boss Phil Spencer has said the company wants to support Switch 2.With that in mind, we're expecting Microsoft to finally relinquish exclusivity of Halo, letting the Master Chief Collection find a fresh audience. A collection of four Halo games (five if ODST is included), it could be an ideal launch game if multiplayer is included, too.Diablo 4 was a huge hit at launch(Image: Grab)Naturally, Microsoft now owns a ton of studios, including Activision Blizzard. Given how good Diablo 3 was on Switch 1, could we see Diablo 4 make an appearance? It plays great on Steam Deck, so it seems likely.Sticking with Microsoft, we've heard DOOM: The Dark Ages could make the jump, too, along with Flight Simulator.Elsewhere, Tekken 8, Visions of Mana and No Man's Sky have been suggested as viable launch titles.Pokemon Legends Z-A is targeting Switch 1 for now(Image: Pokemon)Article continues belowAs we've previously mentioned, we're not expecting Pokemon Legends Z-A to specifically mention Switch 2, instead being a Switch 1 game that'll run (hopefully with more bells and whistles) via backward compatibility.We wouldn't count on Sony making an appearance, either. While the company behind PlayStation has shown a willingness to port titles to PC, its only Switch port so far was LEGO Horizon Adventures.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.
