Sure thing, here goes:

Okay, so here’s the scoop. Nintendo says on Tuesday, mark the calendar for Aug. 14, because that’s when Drag x Drive swings in. Yep, it’s that wheelchair basketball game. Kinda cool they’re showing off some new mouse controls—and wait for it—Madden NFL 26 also drops that day. Coincidence? Maybe. Or maybe they’re stirring the pot intentionally. Who knows?
This Drag x Drive thing gives us a peek into what 2025 might hold for the Switch 2. Seriously, it’s one of those things that fills in the blanks on Nintendo’s playbook for the next six months post-launch. Not totally sure what that means, but hey, we’re all guessing, aren’t we?
Can’t help but find this Drag x Drive priced at $19.99. Feels like it’s rounding out a surprisingly mellow summer for gaming on the Switch 2. And, oh, in August, there’s also the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Kirby and the Forgotten Land. New expansion called Star-Crossed Land or something. Promises some new Mouthful Modes. Whatever those are.
Hold up, July’s not too shabby either. We’ve got Donkey Kong Bananza and then they’re redoing Super Mario Party with some Jamboree TV content. It’s like they’re mixing old and new. Kinda works, kinda doesn’t. You decide.
September, though—it’s looking like a desert. Zero big stuff from Nintendo, which is kinda odd. But hey, Borderlands 4 and Final Fantasy Tactics are stepping in. At least there’s something for those of us itching for fresh pixels.
Jump into October, you’ll get Pokémon Legends: Z-A. Another cross-gen thing. Why am I even surprised?
Fast forward to 2025, Metroid Prime 4 and Kirby Air Riders are on the list, but without dates. September feels right for Metroid, though—like a perfect puzzle piece slotting in. But who am I to plan Nintendo’s calendar?
And hey, don’t forget, Kirby Air Riders might just sprinkle in some excitement come fall. Plus, third parties aren’t slacking off either—Elden Ring: Tarnished Edition, Hades 2, and the usual Call of Duty. Figure that’ll keep everyone on their toes.
Oh, and winter might as well bring Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment. Could slip into early 2026, but let’s be real, time’s a flat circle anyway.
Nintendo likes their surprises with a side of vintage, too. GameCube games could pop up on the Switch Online service. Stuff like Super Mario Sunshine, Fire Emblem, and all those nostalgic goodies. They keep us guessing with a steady drip-drip of releases. It’s like, expect the unexpected. Classic Nintendo, right?
