AI summarized Read in LT

Nintendo closed out the 2026 summer gaming season with a packed Direct covering Switch and Switch 2, and it saved some of its biggest surprises for last — a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake and Deltarune Chapter 5 were among the headline announcements.

Rhythm Heaven Groove opened the show and lands on Switch July 2, bringing 80 new mini-games, 30-plus multiplayer modes, and an RPG-inspired battle mode. Capcom had two games: Onimusha: Way of the Sword hits Switch 2 on September 25 with optional motion controls, while Dragon's Dogma 2: Dark Arisen — an expanded edition of the 2024 action-RPG — follows on October 9. Shift Up confirmed Stellar Blade is coming to Switch 2 later this year, also with optional motion controls. Big Walk, the co-op adventure from the Untitled Goose Game team, arrives August 4. Devil May Cry 5 Devil Hunter Edition drops June 23 and runs at 60 FPS in both docked and handheld modes. Lies of P: Complete Edition, bundled with the Overture expansion, launches August 6. Lords of the Fallen II is targeting fall 2026 on Switch 2. Fire Emblem: Fortune's Weave — starring a protagonist named Cai trying to free his imprisoned father — launches September 17. One Piece: Grand Gourmet, a pixelated restaurant management sim with optional mouse controls, arrives October 23. Rayman Legends Retold lands October 1 with a revamped Kung Foot mode playable via GameShare locally and online. Anime co-op space game Orbitals launches September 3. Ninjala 2: The Uncharted Planet is a Switch 2 exclusive arriving spring 2027 as the first part of a two-chapter saga. Vanillaware's Muramasa: Revenant Blades — previously only on Wii and Vita — comes to Switch and Switch 2 with 4K visuals, new game modes, and added English voice acting. JuJutsu Kaisen Rumble: Survivaton, a Vampire Survivors-style game made by the Vampire Survivors developers, is coming to Switch 2 in 2026.

Pokémon Pokopia gets a free update adding the Dive ability so players can explore the sea floor and build underwater towns. A paid expansion pass will deliver three DLC drops — the first, Bubbly Basin, hits in August with a new area and additional Pokémon. Nintendo Switch Online kicked off a DK Challenge Event today running until September 1, letting players work through Donkey Kong game challenges to earn bonuses. Donkey Kong Bananza also got a Mario Bros. 40th anniversary crossover today, adding themed skins and challenges.

The Direct made clear that Switch 2 has a dense release calendar through the end of 2026, with September alone stacking Onimusha, Fire Emblem, and Orbitals. Zelda: Ocarina of Time and Deltarune Chapter 5 are generating the loudest community buzz, and both will likely dominate the conversation heading into the summer.
