Nintendo Switch 2021 Games: Every Title Scheduled to Release Next Year

Newsgeek Nintendo switch

Nintendo went, mostly, under the radar in 2020. The gaming industry has been swallowed whole by the recent releases of Sony's PlayStation 5 and Microsoft's Xbox Series X/S, but the Switch still had a solid year.

Animal Crossing: New Horizons dominated the industry in the first half of 2020, especially when the global pandemic first went rampant in the U.S. Plus, there was the re-release of classic Mario games like Super Mario 64, Sunshine and Galaxy, giving Nintendo faithful a nice, nostalgic hit of the familiar.

But what lies ahead for the Switch in 2021? While the PS5 and Xbox Series X/S will be looking to continue their momentum, Nintendo's console will have some high-profile games of its own, between Monster Hunter Rise and Bravely Default 2, as well as a long list of indie games.

Below, we've listed every Nintendo Switch game that's scheduled to come out in 2021. Note: This list is still being compiled and will be updated if there's any change to release dates.
