Beyond the games featured with demos, Nintendo’s October 28 Indie World presentation covered a broad lineup of upcoming releases for Switch and Switch 2. Bao Bao’s Cozy Cleaning Services was the presentation’s only worldwide shadowdrop, offering four-player online co-op cleaning. Sword of the Sea is set to arrive on Switch 2 on Thursday, with players riding a hoverSWORD across a desert to restore the oceans.
Lost and Found Co. and Tanuki: Pon’s Summer are both scheduled for November 10 on Switch 2 and Switch. Lost and Found Co. focuses on locating missing objects and uncovering the world’s secrets; its Switch 2 edition adds mouse controls and four-player local co-op through GameShare. Tanuki: Pon’s Summer is a life sim set over a single summer, in which its titular character works to rebuild a tanuki statue. Spirit Crossing, from the team behind Cozy Grove, follows on November 16 as an online-only life sim. Its developer has drawn criticism for not disclosing use of the Claude generative AI coding system in the game’s PC release.
January brings several more releases. Everything is Crab arrives January 26 as a monster-raising RPG, with mouse controls on Switch 2 and a free upgrade for Switch owners. Witchbrook, published by Chucklefish, is due January 28. Slime Rancher 2 makes its Nintendo debut on Switch 2 in January 2027.
My Arms Are Longer Now is planned for March 11 on both systems. Players use an increasingly long arm to plan and carry out heists, with voice work from Australian comedians. Super Battle Golf follows on March 25 on Switch 2, combining eight-player golf with combat items and weapons. Its online multiplayer will support cross-platform play with the existing PC version and planned PS5 and Xbox Series releases on the same day. Dumpster Gang, a co-op dumpster-diving sandbox starring a raccoon, is scheduled for Switch 2 in March 2027 and will support local co-op through GameShare and online co-op through GameChat.
Other announced games are planned for later in 2027. Hyperyuki: Snowboard Syndicate, from Jeff Jarrett’s Acclaim, is a snowboarding game inspired by turn-of-the-century extreme sports titles and is slated for early 2027 on Switch 2. Finding Polka, a hand-drawn adventure about searching for a creature resembling the player character’s pet, is coming to Switch in spring. Also due in spring on both systems are Floor Plan: Slap Out Of It!, which combines escape-room elements with duels in an office building where slapping is the main form of interaction, and Kitsune: The Journey of Adashino, a folklore-inspired 3D adventure about a fox girl and her pet frog evading demons.
Threads of Time, a turn-based RPG about travelling through time to thwart a conspiracy spanning multiple eras, is planned for summer 2027 on Switch 2 and Switch. City of None, an adventure platformer with light RPG elements and a developer from Celeste among its team, is listed for 2027 on both systems. Switch 2 releases also include R.E.P.O., an online co-op game with procedurally generated levels and physics-based tools for extracting items, and Tenjutsu, a Devolver Digital-published top-down roguelike brawler about taking down crime syndicates with weapons and martial arts.
The Japanese presentation also announced worldwide releases for One Turn Kill, a single-player card battler whose cards have limited uses, and a Switch 2 Edition of Urban Myth Dissolution Center. It confirmed a December launch for Rhythm Doctor, a one-button rhythm game.
