Switch 2 rollout: games, hardware, legal challenges

Entities: Nintendo · eShop · Switch 2 · Astalon: Tears of the Earth · Nintendo Switch

Overview

Nintendo confirmed that the EU will see the original Switch, Switch Lite and OLED discontinued by mid‑February 2027 to meet the EU right‑to‑repair requirement, after which only the Switch 2 – with a removable‑battery design – will be sold, leaving the region without a low‑priced entry handheld.

The Switch 2 launch slate kept expanding. Splatoon Raiders launched worldwide on 23 July 2026 as a Switch 2 exclusive single‑player spin‑off priced at $49.99 digital/$59.99 cartridge; reviews praised its art and gadgets but noted repetitive missions and a cloud‑animation bug that Nintendo will patch. The title joined other first‑party releases such as Donkey Kong Bananza, Kirby Air Riders and the upcoming Zelda Twin: Sealed Legend, which demonstrate the console’s upgraded processor, 1080p 120 Hz display and 12 GB RAM by handling hundreds of enemies at stable frame rates.

Nintendo showcased Switch 2 games at San Diego Comic‑Con 2026, offering demos of the upcoming Switch Sports Resort and a themed Splatoon Raiders pop‑up, generating strong fan interest.

In July, Nintendo announced free upgrades for owners of the original Switch versions of Frictional Games’ *Soma* and Blue Backpack’s *Constance*, with the latter slated for release on 30 July. A leak also revealed three in‑development titles from French studio Slocap, including a port of *Rematch* projected for 2027.

Legal challenges have emerged alongside the hardware push: Nintendo faces a patent‑infringement dispute with Pocketpair, a rejected patent application in Japan, and a U.S. class‑action lawsuit over alleged improper tariff refunds.

By March 2026 the Switch 2 had sold about 19.9 million units worldwide. It retails at $449.99, rising to $499.99 in September 2026, and competes with Valve’s Steam Deck OLED, which offers higher specs but at a considerably higher price.
