Capcom showcases key titles for Nintendo Switch 2 at TGS, while new releases and exclusives expand the console's content library.
The Tokyo Game Show 2026 has kicked off, and Capcom has set the tone with significant updates and announcements for Nintendo’s latest platform, the Switch 2. Among the highlights were the reveals of new Mega Man outfits and first gameplay glimpses of the anticipated Resident Evil 2, 3, and 4 remakes. As reported by Nintendo Life, Capcom’s showcase underscores a strong commitment to the Switch 2’s growing library.
Adding to the Switch 2 momentum, D3 Publisher announced that both Earth Defense Force 5 and Earth Defense Force 6 are coming to the platform soon. According to Nintendo Everything, EDF 5 is set to release worldwide on October 8, 2026, with EDF 6 following in the winter. This signals a robust lineup of known titles for the Nintendo Switch 2, appealing to fans of both legacy franchises and those seeking fresh experiences.
While Capcom and D3 bring established franchises to the forefront, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight adds a family-friendly dimension to the upcoming releases. A new trailer showcasing the game’s capabilities across both docked and handheld modes has been released, focusing on its broad appeal and versatility.
For those looking for something more collectible, Nintendo has expanded its store offerings for North American Switch Online members. Nintendo Life reports new exclusives, including a Zelda-themed metal desktop display and a quirky Virtual Boy glasses case, are now available using Platinum Points.
Despite the progression to the Switch 2 era, Nintendo appears to be keeping the Switch Lite on life support in specific regions. In Europe, Tomodachi Life is seemingly set to receive a Switch Lite bundle, suggesting that there’s still market value in the older device, per Nintendo Life.
Lastly, those interested in strategy games might want to look into the recent release of Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave on Switch 2. According to a review on Nintendo Life, the game mixes elements from Breath of the Wild, Persona, and its predecessor, Three Houses, promising a rich mix of narrative and tactical gameplay even if it treads familiar paths.
