Forget “leaks”—this was a full-blown deluge of games, from legendary RPGs finally making the jump to bizarre new IPs. Here’s the complete, sarcasm-laced breakdown of everything announced for your Switch and shiny new Switch 2.
The Headliners (A.K.A. The “Shut Up and Take My Money” Section)
The show wasted no time going for the jugular with some massive gets.
- Orbitals (Switch 2, Summer 2026): A mysterious new sci-fi title that kicked off the show. The trailer gave off serious “we want to be the next big thing” vibes, but we’ll need more than flashy spaceships to be convinced[reference:0].
- Fallout 4 & The Elder Scrolls IV: Oblivion (Switch 2): Bethesda is finally, finally bringing its classic open-world RPGs to a Nintendo platform. The real miracle? Getting them to run on what’s presumably a handheld. Skyrim is presumably also included, because it runs on everything except your smart fridge (for now)[reference:1][reference:2].
- Final Fantasy VII Rebirth (Switch 2): The second part of the FF7 remake saga is coming. Get ready to cry over Aerith all over again, but this time on the bus.
- Hollow Knight: Silksong – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: Yes, the mythical Silksong expansion is not only real but getting a next-gen glow-up. This might be the single biggest reason for millions to upgrade their console[reference:3].
The “Wait, That’s Coming Too?!” Roundup
The middle of the showcase was a blur of surprises and long-rumored ports.
- Paranormasight: The Mermaid’s Curse (Switch): A follow-up to the excellent Paranormasight, promising more creepy visual novel mystery[reference:4].
- Monster Hunter Stories 3: Twisted Reflection: The monster-collecting RPG spinoff is back, and a demo is available right now. No excuses[reference:5].
- Tokyo Scramble: Details were sparse, but the name alone screams “over-the-top action game”[reference:6].
- Reanmial (Switch 2, February 2026): A brand-new IP that appeared and vanished, leaving everyone to wildly guess if it’s a typo, a puzzle game, or a new kind of animal[reference:7].
- WWE 2K26 (Switch 2): Because nothing says “next-gen power” like watching John Cena… well, you know the joke[reference:8].
- Another Eden: Begins – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition: The massive mobile RPG gets a dedicated console version. Perfect for losing 100+ hours of your life in a beautiful, time-traveling story[reference:9].
The Physical Media Fan Service
In a move that made collectors weep with joy, Nintendo confirmed that physical editions for Oblivion, Skyrim, and the Fallout games on Switch 2 are happening. Your shelf space is in danger[reference:10].
The Verdict
This Partner Showcase was a masterclass in giving players exactly what they want: beloved classics, exciting new adventures, and a solid roadmap for the Switch 2’s first year. The message was clear: the Switch 2 isn’t just about Nintendo’s first-party titans; it’s going to be a third-party powerhouse from day one. Now, if you’ll excuse us, we have a date with a demo of Monster Hunter Stories 3 and the agonizing wait for Silksong.
