The successor to the Nintendo Switch is just around the corner. However, that does not mean that there will not be exclusives in 2024. Great video games are expected for this year before giving way to the next console, although the exact date of certain releases is still unknown.
All of these titles will be essential deliveries for anyone who owns the device. However, in some cases you will have to wait a long time to discover if they live up to expectations.
Surely there are many other games coming out this year that have not yet been confirmed. After all, 12 months is enough for many Nintendo Directs with unexpected announcements.
Another Code: Recollection – January 19, 2024
It is a remake of the DS video game. A little-known installment, but very loved among those who played it. This 2024 you will have a new opportunity on Nintendo Switch.
Another Code: Recollection stars Ashley Mizuki Robbins, a young woman who receives a letter from her missing father. This card takes you to explore an island with many hidden secrets to discover. The plot advances as the player solves the mysteries. Like any graphic adventure , its greatest strength is its plot.
Watching the trailer you can see that the gameplay will be very different. If it catches your attention, you can try a demo available on the Nintendo eShop.
Mario vs. Donkey Kong – February 16
A great combination between platform video games and puzzles. The challenges are very creative, and everything indicates that this remake will be very faithful to the original installment that came out for Game Boy Advance.
Although that does not mean that it does not come with new features: it will include two new levels, a cooperative mode for two players and two game styles (Casual and Classic).
Having been launched on a portable console, the changes on Nintendo Switch are going to be noticeable. Many may not remember it, but Mario vs. Donkey Kong is really a video game saga that became a classic.
Levels consist of collecting keys and pressing switches to overcome obstacles, as well as defeating final bosses that require more skill. Those who want something a little more challenging can look for the collectibles scattered throughout the stages. Some are difficult to get.
Shiren the Wanderer The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island – February 27
Roguelike fans are in luck with this new video game in the Shiren the Wanderer saga. The releases of this franchise have stood out for being especially challenging.
Furthermore, the dungeons are procedurally generated. So each game is completely unique and that encourages exploration a lot. On the other hand, they usually have good stories. Although many times they are just an excuse to explore the map.
Princess Peach: Showtime! – March 22
Not much is known about Princess Peach: Showtime! Everything indicates that it will be a very different game from anything else seen before in the Mario universe.
Taking into account what has been seen, it seems that it will be a platform title with Peach as the protagonist, who will take on different costumes to play roles. For some reason, he finds himself in a play.
It will possibly become one of the best Nintendo Switch exclusives because the company has special treatment for the characters from the Super Mario video games , so they have probably put a lot of love into it.
Demon Slayer: Kimetsu no Yaiba – Sweep the Board – Undated
Although it is a Demon Slayer, it is not a fighting game, but a festive title in the style of Mario Party. It will be released on April 25, 2024 in Japan, but there is no confirmed date for Europe yet. However, it is expected to arrive this year as well.
You roll a die and advance on the board while competing with your friends in anime-related mini-games. Unlike other releases of this type, this one has the peculiarity that at night players must hunt the demons.
Fans of the series will be able to enjoy their own Mario Party to celebrate their holidays in 2024.
Luigi’s Mansion 2 HD – Summer 2024
The difference between this exclusive Nintendo Switch video game and its homonymous title released for 3DS is very noticeable . It promises to be quite faithful to the original.
Its cooperative will be one of its greatest attractions. You can play together with three other people in various game modes. The user has to solve puzzles in a mansion full of ghosts. And you’ll have to do it with a kind of Ghostbusters -style vacuum cleaner.
It should be noted that it is an accessible title, Luigi is a charismatic and funny character, and the puzzles encourage the player to explore the entire mansion to find the hidden secrets. And all this accompanied by a good soundtrack that knows how to immerse you in the atmosphere.
Fantasy Life: The Girl Who Steals Time – Summer 2024
A social simulator similar to Animal Crossing, but with a completely different theme and personality. Create your own virtual life with RPG elements within a fantasy world.
The protagonist, who will literally be you, will have to solve the mystery that is hidden on the island. However, you write the adventure, so you can live it at your own pace and however you want.
One of the most anticipated exclusive video games for Nintendo Switch of 2024 because the premise allows for many possibilities. If they do it right, hours of fun are guaranteed.
Paper Mario: The Millennial Door – Sometime in 2024
All Paper Mario video games have interesting plots, fantastic combats, and charismatic characters. The strongest point of this franchise is its incredible sense of humor and how it uses art design to its advantage for jokes, story, and puzzles.
Paper Mario: The Millennial Door is a remake of one of the most beloved games in the saga for GameCube . Its version for Nintendo Switch seems to be faithful to the original, but with improved graphics.
The combats are in turns. You will be able to use more than one character to hit enemies and use objects to deal damage or heal yourself.
Metal Slug Tactics – Sometime in 2024
It will also be on sale on PC, but on consoles it will be exclusive to Nintendo Switch. Development is taking its time, although it is also expected to be released in 2024.
On an artistic level it has a retro style that is reminiscent of the arcade game. At the time, it stood out for its animations and, as seen in the trailer, they have tried to make them attract attention here as well.
However, the gameplay of Metal Slug Tactics will be much more strategic. The combats are turn-based and the plot will have attractive cinematics.
Metroid Prime 4 – Date Unknown
Absolutely nothing is known about Metroid Prime 4, apart from this trailer that also teaches nothing. It was first announced at E3 2017, and Nintendo hasn’t even mentioned its name since.
Since the successor to the Nintendo Switch will probably be released this year or next, it is not unreasonable to think that fans of this franchise will finally have this video game in their hands by 2024.
Likewise, it is not absurd to imagine that this project was finally canceled, but there is always that little hope for one of the most anticipated video games of recent years.
