<p>Visit our <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/upcoming/">list of all upcoming Nintendo Switch games</a> for the full lineup.</p>



<h2>1. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/super-mario-odyssey/">Super Mario Odyssey</a></h2>

<p>The Switch’s most awaited game since <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/the-legend-of-zelda-breath-of-the-wild/">The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild</a>. This time, we finally have a release date. But that’s not all. Nintendo Direct also gave us a closer look into the game itself, and Mario’s Red shirt-less self. Nipples aside, we got to see a showcase of the Odyssey's worlds and kingdoms. From the icy Shiveria, the watery Bubblaine, and an as-yet-unnamed Tropical island. Collect the hundreds of power moons in each level, experiment with the caps many abilities, and have fun with the nifty snapshot feature for instant photos and edits.</p> 

<p>It’s gonna be one hell of an adventure, and it is coming this October 27th.</p>



<h2>2. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/xenoblade-chronicles-2/">Xenoblade Chronicles 2</a></h2>

<p>Reported to be twice bigger than the usual Xenoblade game, Nintendo gave us a comprehensive demo on Rex and Pyra's search for paradise. In it, they presented us with some juicy in-game footage. We also got to hear their loveably British voice actors, including the animal companion that aligns with standard butler tropes.</p> 

<p>Marked with a Special Edition release and a Xenoblade themed Pro controller, it's set to release this December 1st.</p>



<h2>3. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/project-octopath-traveler/">Project Octopath Traveller</a></h2>

<p>Square Enix is pretty much synonymous to old-school RPG, and they prove that once again with this RPG from the makers of <a href="https://whatoplay.com/3ds/bravely-default-flying-fairy/">Bravely Default</a>. A Switch Exclusive, Project Octopath lets you choose between 8 characters, each with their own journeys around the world of Orsterra. It's a blend of old and new, as they show off the HD 2D art style and demonstrate their exciting combat. Introducing characters like Olberic and Primrose, we're hoping it has the same top-notch quality we've come to expect.</p> 

<p>It's set to release sometime in 2018.</p>



<h2>4. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/fire-emblem-warriors/">Fire Emblem Warriors</a></h2>

<p>While it’s not a new Fire Emblem Game, Nintendo amps up the volume with this Dynasty Warriors spinoff. We’ve already announced the return of Marth, Xander, Chrom, and other Fire Emblem favorites. But now, we now we also know that the fan-favorite Lyn will also make a comeback. A notable persona from the Gameboy Advanced days, we’re looking forward to more classic character releases.</p> 

<p>Fire Emblem Warriors is set to release on October 20th.</p>



<h2>5. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/sonic-forces/">Sonic Forces</a></h2>

<p>In SEGA's anticipated Sonic game, we see the blue hedgehog fighting against a Robotnik bent on world domination. In our previous videos, we said Forces will let you play with 3D and 2.5D planes with their two variations, as well as customize your very own character. Other than a definite release date, there wasn't a lot of new info presented in this recent Direct.</p> 

<p>It's set to release this November 7th.</p> 



<h2>6. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/pokken-tournament-dx/">Pokken Tournament DX</a></h2>

<h2>8. <a href="https://whatoplay.com/switch/lost-sphear/">Lost Sphear</a></h2>

<p>Not really a system seller, but it was a cutting edge favorite among the Switch's launch titles. Adorable, delightfully creative, but a little short-lived.
