It’s time to take a look at the upcoming Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 games that are being newly released on our favourite handhelds. You can check the Nintendo website for games that are compatible with both the original Switch and the Switch 2. Additionally, we also feature upcoming Steam games for those who prefer gaming on Steam!
Upcoming Switch and Switch 2 Games
Not all games to be released are listed here. Alternatively, you will see games that the other gaming sites don’t mention. We are taking notice of these games. You can expect reviews for many of them if given half a chance! It should be noted that unless we have some personal experience with the game, there’s a link to the descriptions on the Nintendo website.
Wander Scoop – January 1st
Welcome to the most charming, cozy ice cream parlor in town!
The Secret Ingredient: Empathy. The true delight of Wander Scoop lies in the heartwarming cutscenes and dialogues. Every quirky character who slides onto a stool carries a personal puzzle and different ice cream flavours, and the process of making them serves as a metaphor for life’s challenges and joys. Level Up Your Cozy Kingdom.
Fortunately, guiding souls and making people happy can also be profitable! As you ace those metaphorical mix-ups and sell your legendary treats, you’ll earn money and gain the experience needed to upgrade your arsenal of ingredients and equipment, as well as decorate your parlour.
A Feast for the Eyes and Soul. Sink into a world rendered in a beautiful, colourful, and inviting pastel art style. Everything is soft, rounded, and comforting. Every detail, from the gentle texture of the whipped cream to the subtle shimmer of the ice crystals, is designed to give you a warm hug in game form.
SnapCat: Mia’s Cozy Adventure – January 6th
SnapCat is a cozy exploration game about finding cats and capturing quiet moments across peaceful islands.
Pack your things, we’re going on a trip! We’re going to visit breathtaking islands and make the most of the summer sun. But remember – the core item in your luggage is your camera! Aside from admiring the architecture and colourful flora, we have one crucial mission – documenting the furry inhabitants of the islands. Can you find and photograph all of them?
I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival – January 8th
End of the world? Time to build your dream place and make unexpected friends.
BUILD THE COZY ROOFTOP BASE OF YOUR DREAMS. Starting from scratch on an abandoned rooftop, build, decorate and expand the coziest camp ever! Unlock new buildings and furniture, set up electrical grids, and neatly organise your new life. Relax, build, wander around – the world is literally yours!
I reviewed I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival on Steam and had this to say in my conclusion:
I Am Future: Cozy Apocalypse Survival delivers exactly what it promises: a relaxing, creative take on the survival genre, once you pass that daily starvation, struggle at the beginning of the game.
Its blend of base building, farming, automation, and quirky characters offers a refreshing change of pace from more stressful post-apocalyptic games. While its difficulty curve might not satisfy hardcore survival enthusiasts, it’s perfect for players who want to unwind and enjoy the process of building a life at the end of the world.
