The Nintendo Switch has truly captivated the gaming world, showing that sheer power isn’t the only factor that makes a console shine. Thanks to Nintendo’s exceptional first-party games, a solid lineup of major third-party releases, and a treasure trove of indie gems, the Switch boasts a library that can proudly stand alongside any other gaming platform in terms of both quantity and quality.
When you think of standout titles like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, you’d assume these are hard to top. Yet, there’s always an anticipation that the best is still to come for Switch enthusiasts. Over the years 2022 and 2023, Nintendo platforms flourished with fantastic releases. In 2023 alone, gamers were treated to exclusive hits like The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, Metroid Prime Remastered, Pikmin 4, Super Mario Wonder, and Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp. Heading into 2024, the excitement continues with exclusives featuring beloved characters like Princess Peach and Zelda.

These updates keep the excitement rolling as we look forward to their launches.
November 2024 Nintendo Switch Games
Mario & Luigi, Farmagia, & More
November is looking impressive, partly due to surprises from the June 2024 Nintendo Direct. Mario & Luigi: Brothership headlines the month with a brand new RPG featuring the beloved pair. Nintendo has made it a point to spotlight the series’ RPG roots, and while recent efforts have been faithful recreations, Brothership is a fresh outing—the first in about ten years, aside from Paper Mario’s The Origami King which, while great, isn’t a traditional RPG.
Brothership might steal the show, but it’s not alone. Farmagia combines monster training with farming in a novel mix, and the visually stunning Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake also drops this month alongside the adventurous Lego Horizon Adventures.
A variety of other games are hitting the Switch in November, from Aero the Acro-Bat: Rascal Rival Revenge on November 1 to Rage Swarm on November 29, each bringing a unique flair to the console’s diverse roster.

From the wistful Wobbly Life to fitness and fun with games like Fitness Boxing 3: Your Personal Trainer, December has a mix worthy of any Switch library. Additionally, games like Dog Man: Mission Impawsible and Dinosaur RPG are set to entertain players as the year winds down.
