Every big Nintendo Switch game launching from September until Christmas

We’re heading into the home stretch of 2024’s gaming release calendar, and a four-month stretch when Nintendo, as well as other platform holders and major third-party publishers will unload their splashiest and most-anticipated wares for the year.

Nintendo is very heavily a first-party platform, and launches in the Legend of Zelda, Mario Party, and Mario & Luigi franchises and sub-series arrive in consecutive months beginning with The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom on Sept. 26.

Other highlights include Sonic X Shadow Generations and the Nintendo Switch debut of the Yakuza franchise at the end of October, plus Dragon Quest 3 HD-2D Remake in November.
