Nintendo’s latest Switch 2 Direct didn’t disappoint. In just an hour, fans got a flurry of new announcements: Super Mario Galaxy + Super Mario Galaxy 2 is coming in a bundled collection, Metroid Prime 4: Beyond finally has a release date, and heavy hitters like Pokemon Legends: Z-A, Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment, and Kirby Air Riders are all launching in quick succession.
In fact, Nintendo is packing six major releases into a two-month window, starting with Mario Galaxy Collection on October 2 and ending with Metroid Prime 4 on December 4. That doesn’t even count timed exclusives like Hades II, which Nintendo is publishing on Switch 2 before it lands elsewhere.

These join the lineup of Switch 2 Amiibo already available, which include Zelda, Street Fighter, and Donkey Kong characters—many of which are discounted at major retailers.
Accessories And Pricing
Nintendo confirmed updated prices for first-party Switch 2 accessories:

Some items, like official carrying cases, have already sold out on Amazon.
Verdict
The Switch 2 lineup for late 2025 is stacked with both returning classics and bold new entries. While Mario Kart World made headlines for its $80 price tag, most Switch 2 exclusives are still holding the $70 line. Between the software, Amiibo, and new hardware bundles, Nintendo is clearly aiming to make this holiday season a historic one.
💡 Player Tip
If you’re planning to preorder, lock in high-demand Amiibo early—especially the Kirby Air Riders set, which is priced higher and likely to sell out fastest. For games, remember: Amazon often adds preorder discounts or gift card credits closer to launch, so keep an eye on your order status before release day.
