Switch 2 software slate grows

Nintendo’s next machine is starting to look less like a one-company island and more like a regular stop on the multiplatform map. In the span of a day, Level-5 put two more games on the Nintendo Switch 2 release board, and both also landed on PlayStation 5 and personal computer. (ign.com) (vgchartz.com) One of them is Professor Layton and the New World of Steam, which Level-5 now says will launch worldwide in late 2026 on Nintendo Switch 2, the original Nintendo Switch, PlayStation 5, and Steam on personal computer. The same update confirmed there is still no Xbox version. (ign.com) (gematsu.com) The other is Snack World: Reloaded, a remake of Snack World: The Dungeon Crawl Gold, and it is headed to Nintendo Switch 2, PlayStation 5, and Steam with no release date announced yet. Reports on the reveal say the remake adds revamped gameplay, new controls, extra story content, and an additional mode. (vgchartz.com) (rpgamer.com) That platform list matters because Level-5’s own product page now shows a pattern, not a one-off. Professor Layton, Snack World, Inazuma Eleven, Decapolice, and Fantasy Life i are all listed across Nintendo Switch 2 plus at least one non-Nintendo platform, with several also on Steam. (level5.co.jp) For Nintendo, that is still useful even when the games are not exclusive. A new console needs recognizable boxes on the shelf, and Level-5 is supplying puzzle games, role-playing games, and remakes that make the launch window look fuller than a first-party-only lineup. (level5.co.jp) (nintendo.com) Nintendo has already set the machine’s United States starting price at $449.99 and said the Nintendo Switch 2 launches on June 5. That means every added game announcement now lands next to a fixed number that shoppers can compare against a growing software list. (nintendo.com) The catch is that the software story is improving while the hardware story is getting shakier. Bloomberg reported in March 2026 that rising memory costs were squeezing Nintendo’s plans, and follow-up coverage said the company was considering a 2026 price increase for the console as storage and memory parts got more expensive. (bloomberg.com) (screenrant.com) Nintendo has also publicly warned about tariff pressure before. In comments reported by IGN in May 2025, president Shuntaro Furukawa said United States tariffs could hurt demand if higher prices for everyday goods left families with less money for game systems. (ign.com) So the picture around Nintendo Switch 2 is getting clearer. The console is attracting more outside support from companies like Level-5 at the exact moment the cost of buying the hardware, or even its accessories and storage, looks less settled than Nintendo would probably like.
