We take a list of the most important games that will arrive on Nintendo Switch this year exclusively for the console. How many surprises await us?
2021 is presented as a fundamental year for Nintendo Switch, which goes through the equator of its life in the market embraced by success around the world. Both the West and Japan reflect above-normal business performance, but that hybrid console momentum can only be sustained through good exclusive games. And that is what we are here to talk about today, since we are starting a new year and there are still many unknowns in the catalog. What exclusives await us at Nintendo Swithch this year 2021?
There are many titles in development for Nintendo Switch; some of us know about them, but they don’t even have a release window, while others will be simmering in the offices of Nintendo and its third party partners. However, after these first weeks of the year, which have already left us some other announcement and date, we are going to review below which are the main exclusive launches for this course, leaving out those who have not (yet) specified when they will arrive in stores. These are the cases of Bayonetta 3, Metroid Prime 4 or The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (sequel).
Some, like the indie Sports Story (sequel to the famous Golf Story) are not listed below because the official website of the eShop and the studio itself, Sidebar Games, have not declared that the work will necessarily be ready this year.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury is coming to Nintendo Switch on February 12.

Nintendo Switch “Top” Games With Dates To Be Determined
Nintendo qualifies some titles as “Primary Nintendo Products”, although they are not first party, but they are exclusive. In the latest financial report for the quarter ended September 30 (released in November), the company listed Bayonetta 3, the currently unnamed sequel to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and Metroid Prime 4 (name not final). for an undetermined date. However, this does not necessarily imply that they will be released in 2021 or beyond 2021, but that they do not have an estimated release window. They are in development.
