Nintendo Switch Upcoming Games Detailed: Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Minecraft And More

Nintendo held its latest 'Nintendo Direct' today, and during it the company detailed more than a dozen games that will be arriving for the Switch in coming days, weeks, and months. This includes some hotly anticipated games, such as Minecraft and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, as well as some beloved classics via the NEOGEO Arcade Archives and Namco Museum. In addition to the game launches, Nintendo revealed that a limited quantity batch of standalone Switch docks will arrive on May 19.

Overall, Nintendo's game lineup for its latest — and largely successful — console is great, and includes immediately recognizable things like Splatoon 2 and Monopoly. There's a bit of something for everyone and mostly every age group, including things like Payday 2 for older kids and adults, and Rayman Legends: Definitive Edition for kids. Though most of the games launch starting next month and running through the holiday season, things like a Puyo Puyo Tetris demo arrive tomorrow.
