Whether players are looking for unique indie gems, Nintendo's massive IP, or remasters of some of their favorite older games, the Switch likely has a couple of games available for everyone. While there are still many games that players are hoping to see announced for the console, like a more expansive virtual console, Nintendo has made great efforts to support the Switch with a lineup of great games.

Many games released on the system have been genre-defining, like Breath of the Wild and Mario Odyssey, but Nintendo still has a lot more planned for the Switch, including some massive first-party games and AAA titles from other studios. Whether players are looking forward to some great mini-games or a JRPG, Nintendo has them covered with these in-development AAA Switch games.

Princess Peach is among gaming's most iconic characters, but she tends to assume secondary roles in most projects. However, that is set to change with Princess Peach: Showtime!, an action-adventure game that propels Nintendo's beloved heroine into the lead role for the first time in more than a decade. Showtime!'s gameplay appears to involve changing customs to unlock different abilities and movesets, and the campaign seems to be structured around a stage play.

Nintendo has kept quite a few details about the game close to its chest, but everything shown so far has been exciting. Who knows, if Showtime! proves to be a success, it might spark a new subseries starring Princess Peach. Considering how long she has been around, she deserves her own vehicle.

In a pleasant surprise, Bandai Namco has confirmed that Ace Combat 7: Skies Unknown is coming to the Nintendo Switch in the form of a deluxe edition. The combat flight sim debuted in 2019, garnering a largely positive response at the time. While still challenging and deep, this entry is slightly more accessible than some of its predecessors, making it the perfect option for beginners who wish to try out the genre.

Despite its age, Ace Combat 7 is still visually and mechanically impressive, and it is quite a get for the Nintendo Switch. Hopefully, the game runs well as the console does not have all that many flight sims.

One of the many games revealed at the June 2023 Nintendo Direct, Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon is getting remastered for the Switch in the form of Luigi's Manion 2 HD. Despite being more divisive than the GameCube classic and Luigi's Mansion 3, the 3DS original is still great by most metrics, and it was among its console's crowning achievements. The project's teaser did not reveal the scope of the changes, and there is a chance that only a graphical upgrade will be included. In terms of a release date, Nintendo has yet to confirm anything, although Luigi's Mansion 2 HD could be set for a Summer 2024 debut.

Sega has confirmed that Sonic Generations is receiving a remaster. While that would be exciting news on its own since the 2011 game is considered to be among the franchise's better offerings, Sonic Team is taking things one step further by implementing a new campaign featuring everyone's favorite gun-wielding hedgehog, Shadow. Considering Generations features redone levels from the past, Shadow's storyline will likely do the same, although Sega has confirmed that the game will include new abilities.
