Nintendo Switch News – What Can We Expect In The Near Future?
It’s certainly been a busy year for the Switch, with new titles galore for the most recent major Nintendo platform.

Get ready!
Outside of the world of Nintendo Switch gaming, there is a wealth of new releases and hot games to play within the iGaming & casino spaces. The progressive jackpot market is one with explosive growth in recent years. If you aren’t familiar, you might be asking yourself, how do progressive jackpots work? The answers are with JohnSlots.
Mario Strikers: Battle League
This game will be released on June 10th, exclusively aimed at Nintendo Switch players. This is a football-related title (loosely). You can, of course, expect to see all the regular faces including Mario himself, Luigi, Donkey Kong, Wario, Princess Peach and plenty of others as playable characters. This 5 a side game brings a Rocket League feel to its gameplay with a frenetic, fantastical feel. Players have the ability to use many of the attacks & tricks from other Mario titles (like MarioKart). Well worth checking out this parallel release on its newest platform.
Splatoon 3
Hitting Nintendo Switch on 9th September is the newest edition of Splatoon, following on from the second this third title sees you visit a brand new region known as the ‘Splatlands’. This desert habitat is inhabited by the Octolings and Inklings and contains the city of Splatsville. The story mode follows ‘Octarians’ including Octotroopers & character DJ Octavio in Alterna. Players are highly customisable with different selectable styles, attributes & individual customisations like hairstyles and clothing. Multiplayer modes known as ‘Turf War’ and ‘Salmon Run Next Wave’ are rumoured to be available, both based around the core ‘Ink War’ activities.
Pokemon Scarlet & Violet
Joining the increasing open-world game format this year is the Pokemon series. Late in 2022, we’re going to be treated to Pokemon Scarlet & Pokemon Violet, two versions of the same game which will comprise a set. January saw the release of Pokemon Legends: Arceus. This is set to be a continuation of some of the things we saw there. The map is inspired by Mediterranean environments, with sun-blushed shots & rich, diverse flora and fauna. As always, there are a raft of new Pokemon announced for the new games including
- Spirigatto: A grass type cat starter Pokemon
- Fuecoco: A fire type crocodile starter Pokemon
- Quaxly: A water type duckling and the final new starter Pokemon.
Pokemon home will continue to be applicable to the new games, so you can import your favourite caught Pokemon from other compatible games throughout the years.
Wreckfest
Wreckfest is a crazy, demolition derby type game coming soon to Switch and Switch alone. Super customisable cars including different types of body armour, handling and aesthetics among many other factors. Alongside the wreckfest that is the demolition derby, there will also be race game modes with the game’s trademark combative nature built in. Playable car varieties include American muscle cars as well as European and Asian based makes & models as well as novelty vehicles like lawn mowers, school buses and three-wheelers. Online multiplayer modes are available too!
