Nintendo’s Switch 2 is heading into May with a fuller release slate, including Indiana Jones and the Great Circle on May 12 and Yoshi and the Mysterious Book on May 21. (nintendo.com) Nintendo’s U.S. Switch 2 store page lists Indiana Jones and the Great Circle as a $69.99 pre-order for May 12. The same page lists Outbound for May 14 and Final Fantasy VII Rebirth for June 3. (nintendo.com) Nintendo also said Yoshi and the Mysterious Book will be the first title under a new Switch 2 pricing policy that begins with May 2026 preorders. The company said digital prices for new Nintendo-published Switch 2 exclusives will differ from physical versions. (nintendo.com) That makes May more than a software calendar update for Nintendo. It is also the month when the company starts testing a new retail strategy for first-party Switch 2 games. (nintendo.com) Third-party publishers are also filling in the schedule around Nintendo’s own releases. Milestone’s MotoGP 26 arrives April 29 on both Switch and Switch 2, according to Nintendo’s U.S. store pages. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Nintendo’s store lists MotoGP 26 at an estimated 19.3 gigabytes on Switch 2, versus 9.2 gigabytes on Switch and 9.4 gigabytes when played through Switch 2 compatibility on the original edition. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2) Nintendo’s broader Switch 2 catalog page already mixes exclusives, upgraded editions and new third-party ports. On April 26, it also showed titles such as Pragmata, Overwatch, Hello Kitty Island Adventure - City Town and Pokémon Pokopia among recent 2026 releases. (nintendo.com) The immediate question for May is not only how many games land, but which ones establish a rhythm for the rest of 2026. Nintendo’s own store already points to a busier calendar beyond April, with Yoshi carrying both the new pricing policy and the company’s next exclusive beat. (nintendo.com 1) (nintendo.com 2)
