Nintendo and Sega never used to collaborate, but that has recently changed. Yet, Nintendo announcements so far in April 2025 have received mixed reactions. On April 2, the gaming behemoth held an hour-long presentation introducing fans to the new console. The special Nintendo Direct initially garnered positive reviews, but soon Nintendo was receiving backlash for their lack of transparency regarding pricing. Since then, the company has also hosted a series of Nintendo Treehouse presentations to further introduce some of the game catalog coming to the Switch 2. Among those games are some produced by Sega, which should have fans hyped for their release.
Sega Announces 5 Games For Nintendo Switch 2
Once a direct competitor to Nintendo, Sega has since given up developing their own consoles and instead has focused on video game production. That has been a brilliant business choice, as they are part of the team behind some of the most successful and iconic games and franchises in the modern market. Some of those franchises will now be coming to the Switch 2, as the company has confirmed there are five games in development for the console’s launch day or soon thereafter.
The first of these games is Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut. A remastered version of the classic entry, Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut includes all the content that made the original so great and adds in additional extended cut scenes that should help players relate even further to the characters and storyline that made for such an emotional experience. This prequel is a great entry to the series and should help more people discover the rapidly growing, uniquely humorous, yet emotional RPG series.
The second comes from the most well-known of the Sega franchises, Sonic X Shadows Generations. The game, originally released late in 2024, received a trailer for the Switch 2 version this week. This bundle release included both a remastered version of Sonic Generations as well as a new Shadow Generation that serves as a paraquel to the Sonic game. The Switch 2 version will include enhanced graphics and optimization as made possible by the new console’s upgraded hardware. It is not clear if a paid upgrade option will be available.
More Titles Coming
Raidou Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army is the third Sega game coming to Switch 2. This Atlus game has similarities to the Shin Megami Tensei series as well as other Atlus media. The major changes to this remastered version will be around modernization. Specifically, enhanced visuals, voice-overs, and combat mechanics should help bring the game into a modern gaming platform. Hopefully, it will see similar success to Atlus’s other recent ventures.
A fourth Sega release that is coming to the platform is Two Point Museum. This game is the third in a series of business simulation games, along with Two Point Hospital and Two Point Campus. Released in March of 2025, the game is pretty fresh on fans’ minds. It is unclear what, if any, changes or enhancements will be made to the game, but fans of simulation games should have fun developing their museum to satisfy their art enthusiast guests.
Puyo Puyo
Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S is the last of the five confirmed Sega releases coming to Nintendo Switch 2. Per the Sega website, the game is
“Packed with all the content from Puyo Puyo Tetris 2, this classic duo is back with 12 different ways to play Puyo Puyo and Tetris. What’s more, this latest installment introduces Puyo Tetris Doubles: a two-player co-op mode where two friends can work together on the same board to organize, stack, and chain Puyo pairs and Tetriminos as they fall. Spectators watching the game locally can now use their Joy-Con 2 controllers to point on the players’ board to provide support and join in on the fun!”
With these changes added to the original mechanics, fans should be excited for a fresh twist on a classic Tetris-style game.
Final Thoughts
Despite the controversies regarding pricing, the Nintendo Switch 2 is shaping up to be an impactful console immediately upon launch. The games so far are mainly remasters or remakes, but taking classics to the modern console is not a bad thing. Sega realizes this, and has come up with an exciting array of different games that should keep fans of many genres entertained. As more information comes out, hopefully, Sega and Nintendo will have more collaborations to announce to players itching for more Switch 2 gaming.
