Nintendo Switch 2 Leaks: First-Party Game Ratings Spotted

New ratings for first-party Nintendo Switch 2 titles have appeared on European webpages, providing concrete evidence of upcoming software for Nintendo’s next-generation hardware. The listings include a rating for the spin-off Splatoon Raiders and an updated rating for a new Fire Emblem title.

According to reporting from Nintendo Life, Splatoon Raiders has received a PEGI 7 rating. While the rating suggests the game is nearing a release state, Nintendo’s current official status for the title’s release date remains TBD.

The new Fire Emblem entry, titled Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave, has seen its rating updated from a provisional status to a PEGI 12 rating. Nintendo’s official launch window schedule indicates that Fire Emblem: Fortune’s Weave is expected to be released at some point in 2026.

Nintendo 2026 Release Schedule

Beyond these specific ratings, Nintendo has several other titles scheduled for release across its hardware platforms in 2026. Some of these are designated for the original Switch, while others are targeted for the Switch 2.

• Yoshi and the Mysterious Book is scheduled for a May 2026 launch on the Switch 2.
• Tomodachi Life: Living the Dream is set to release on the original Switch on April 19, 2026.

Nintendo has already launched specific Switch 2 Editions of existing titles in 2026, including Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Bros. Wonder. The company has released game updates for Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Country Returns HD in recent months.

Third-Party Leaks and Ratings Board Activity

In addition to first-party titles, ratings boards in Taiwan and the ESRB have leaked several unannounced third-party games for the Switch 2. These leaks, which surfaced on March 28, 2026, include a variety of genres from horror to action-adventure.

A significant listing from Taiwan’s ratings board identified Devil May Cry 5: Devil Hunter Edition specifically for the Nintendo Switch 2. This version of the Capcom title is distinct from the previous Special Edition, though the specific new content of the Devil Hunter Edition remains unconfirmed by Capcom.

Other titles leaked via the ESRB and Taiwan’s ratings board for the Switch 2 include:

• UN:Me, a horror title previously exclusive to PC.
• Blood West, a retro-styled first-person shooter.
• Hell is Us, an atmospheric action-adventure game.
• Clive Barker’s Hellraiser: Revival, a survival horror title.

Industry Speculation and Rumors

While the ratings board listings provide some evidence of upcoming software, other potential 2026 releases remain in the realm of speculation. Reports from insider NateTheHate suggest a remake of Zelda: Ocarina of Time may be planned for holiday 2026 to coincide with the franchise’s 40th anniversary.

Further unconfirmed rumors suggest the possibility of a new Star Fox game and a new 3D Mario title for the Switch 2 in 2026, though these lack the verification provided by regulatory ratings boards or official Nintendo schedules.
