Fans might be keeping their eyes out for the Nintendo Switch 2, but that doesn’t mean we don’t have games to look forward to on the Nintendo Switch. On Tuesday, Nintendo hosted a combined Indie Direct and Partner Direct that brought plenty of game announcements. Luckily for Nintendo Switch owners, a handful of studios are releasing games on the console the same day as the Direct, so you can go and play some new games on Tuesday.
The full list of same-day releases includes a variety of content like DLC for beloved indie game Balatro and a sequel to the bumbling Pico Park. So if you want to know what’s new, here is every game coming to the Nintendo Switch on Tuesday.
Balatro is getting Witcher 3 and Among Us DLC
Balatro is a poker-inspired indie card game from developer LocalThunk and it’s getting a big free update on Tuesday called “Friends of Jimbo.” This update will add specially themed cards inspired by four games: The Witcher 3, Dave the Diver, Among Us, and Vampire Survivors.
Peglin originally launched on Windows PC in 2022, but it will be heading to the Nintendo Switch on Tuesday. The game combines classic pachinko-inspired gameplay from games like Peggle with RPG turn-based combat. So if you wanted an excuse to play a one-player Peggle adventure on the Switch, you can go and download it on Tuesday.
The sequel to the chaotic co-op game Pico Park is launching exclusively on the Nintendo Switch today. Play with as few as two, or up to eight, players as you tackle messy but fun group-coordinated platforming.
Platformer freaks and weirdos rejoice! The revved up 2D platformer Pizza Tower is coming to the Nintendo Switch and it, too, is on the list of games that you can go and download the same day on Tuesday.
Even more goat-inspired chaos is heading to the Nintendo Switch. Now Switch owners can go and live out their best goat dreams in Goat Simulator 3, which launches on the console on Tuesday.
Castelvania Dominus Collection
A set of classic Castelvania games is being released on the Nintendo Switch on Tuesday. The Castelvania Dominus Collection has three games: Portrait of Ruin, Order of Ecclesia, and Dawn of Sorrow. If you missed out on it when it released on the Nintendo DS, now’s your chance to play it on the Switch.
