Nintendo Switch 2 enthusiasts who are still mastering Donkey Kong Bananza will be thrilled to know about the exciting new titles arriving this August. Since its June launch, the Switch 2 has captivated gamers with enhanced versions of popular games like Street Fighter 6, Yakuza 0, and Cyberpunk 2077. The standout title, Mario Kart World, was included in the premium $499.99 bundle, setting a high bar for the console's offerings.

The initial lineup featured exclusive titles such as Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, Fast Fusion, Survival Kids, and Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster. A month later, Donkey Kong Bananza joined the roster, quickly becoming the highest-rated game on the platform with an impressive 91 overall score.

With back-to-back hits like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, the Switch 2 is proving its worth. Gamers eager for more can look forward to two exclusive titles arriving in August. Drag x Drive, a unique multiplayer wheelchair basketball game, will debut on August 14 as a $20 eShop exclusive, alongside Madden NFL 26. Later in the month, Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar (a remake of the DS classic) launches on August 27, followed by Kirby and the Forgotten Land: Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Star-Crossed World on August 28.
