Every Major Nintendo Switch 2 Exclusive Coming This Summer
What was once considered a barren wasteland is now bubbling over the top with summer fun! The Switch 2 library is about to grow much larger in the months of May, June, and July with the recent announcements and release dates of several new exclusive titles you can't play anywhere else. These are the best Switch 2 exclusive games coming to your handheld this summer!
Yoshi and the Mysterious Book - May 21
This one is tantalizingly close now. Yoshi's newest adventure looks like something out of a dream; the graphics are objectively some of the most gorgous on any Nintendo console ever. The issues that have cropped up with Yoshi and the Mysterious Book are centered on the difficulty in the game.
Early reviewers have said that the relaxing vibes are paired with gameplay that consists of low-stakes platforming and puzzle-solving. If you want to feel a rush of adrenaline while playing games, this one is not going to do it for you. At the same time, when has Yoshi's worlds ever been for excitement? They are for immersion into something so vast and novel from our own mundane lives.
Star Fox - June 25
Star Fox is one of Nintendo's cult franchises that seems to appear every now and then and fade into the background. Hopefully, the newest release on the Switch 2 will do a barrel role right through the uneven history of the franchise and allow Nintendo to make Fox and his friends more relevant in future years.

As for gameplay, this one looks to be another reboot of Star Fox 64 from 1997. The new graphics and voice acting will make it the most cinematic game in the franchise's history.
Rhythm Heaven Groove - July 2
After a hiatus that seemed like it would never end, the Rhythm Heaven franchise is finally back this July. The simple gameplay that combines random activities with the beat of a tune demonstrates that no company can make casual, relatable game experiences better than Nintendo can.
Splatoon Raiders - July 23
Splatoon is finally getting a single-player focused game with Splatoon Raiders in July. Atmosphere and adventure are the name of the game this time instead of competition as gamers will explore a region known as the Spirhalite Islands. There will still be some multiplayer options for those who enjoy that aspect of the franchise better.
