The Nintendo first-party highlights
The remake of The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time was the headline first-party reveal of the show.
Other Nintendo-published titles on display included Rhythm Heaven Groove, Nintendo Switch Sports Resort, and Splatoon Raiders, which lean into the quirky, nostalgic side of the company.
The Xenoblade series got heavy attention, with both a new entry called Xenoblade Genesis and Switch 2 Editions of Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and 3.
Pokemon and Fire Emblem fans also got news, with a Pokemon Pokopia Expansion Pass and Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave both shown.
The show also confirmed Deltarune Chapter 5 and a Minecraft trailer, broadening the lineup beyond traditional Nintendo franchises.
The biggest third-party reveals
Kingdom Hearts 4 was one of the standout third-party announcements, shown alongside a Kingdom Hearts Collection.
The Direct also leaned heavily on established third-party franchises, including Stellar Blade, Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen, Lies of P: Complete Edition, and Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition.
Square Enix had a strong presence with Metaphor: ReFantazio, Final Fantasy Resonance, and Dragon Quest Monsters: The Withered World all appearing.
Capcom rounded out the third-party slate with Onimusha: Way of the Sword and a Dark Arisen edition of Dragon's Dogma 2, alongside the Devil May Cry 5 reissue.
For a closer look at how many of these were older games arriving late on the console, see our breakdown of how the Nintendo Direct leaned hard on aging third-party Switch 2 ports.
Which Switch 2 games are worth waiting for
The most genuinely new and exclusive reveals are the ones most worth watching, starting with Xenoblade Genesis and the Ocarina of Time remake.
Kingdom Hearts 4 stands out as a major new entry rather than a port, which makes it one of the more forward-looking announcements of the show.
What is easy to miss here is that many of the headline third-party games, such as Stellar Blade, Lies of P, Devil May Cry 5, and Dragon's Dogma 2, have already been available on other platforms for years, as CNET noted.
In practice, that means the value of these reveals depends on whether you skipped them the first time around or want them portable on Switch 2.
What the lineup says about the Switch 2 in 2026
The Switch 2 is now about a year old, and CNET observed that the hardware is finally powerful enough for Nintendo to run graphics-intensive games on par with Microsoft and Sony.
Because the console is still young, developers are only slowly bringing their existing catalogs over, which gave parts of this Direct a catch-up feel.
This matters because Nintendo is trying to grow the Switch 2 user base during an ongoing memory shortage that is pushing up the price of even older hardware.
CNET's read was that Nintendo needs to push more of its own games to the forefront rather than reminding players it has only just caught up to its rivals on third-party support.
The takeaway for buyers is that a Switch 2 increasingly offers both Nintendo exclusives and the bigger AAA games, even if those AAA games arrive a few years late.

For now, the June 2026 Direct gives Switch 2 owners a long list of upcoming games to track, even if a good share of them are familiar names arriving on a new home.
