Nintendo fans and industry watchers looking forward to the next generation of gaming hardware have a reason to celebrate: The launch lineup for the Nintendo Switch 2 has been solidified, with SEGA announcing that Sonic x Shadow Generations will be joining the roster of day-one releases.

This high-profile addition rounds out an impressive list of titles that will be available for both physical and digital pre-orders, cementing SEGA’s commitment to supporting the Switch 2 from its very first day on sale. Launching on June 5th, Sonic x Shadow Generations brings together classic and modern Sonic experiences with an exciting new twist: players can embark on a fresh story campaign starring Shadow the Hedgehog, who sports all-new abilities underscoring his reputation as the Ultimate Life Form.

Alongside this original content, the package features a fully remastered version of the highly lauded Sonic Generations, known for its innovative blend of 2D and 3D level design.

Enhanced visuals and added bonus content further elevate this collection for Nintendo Switch 2 owners. Sonic is not the only marquee character appearing at launch.

Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S blends two of the puzzle genre’s most iconic franchises, delivering a dynamic competitive experience for up to four players.

This Switch 2 edition debuts an all-new “Puyo Tetris Doubles” mode, allowing teams of two to execute powerful combos on a single board for heightened strategic play.

Players can choose from a diverse roster of 40 characters—including guest appearances from Sonic the Hedgehog—each with distinctive stats and abilities.

Both local and online multiplayer modes will be fully supported at launch, ensuring broad appeal among puzzle enthusiasts and competitive gamers alike. For fans of narrative-driven action, Yakuza 0 Director’s Cut joins the Switch 2 on day one, offering the definitive edition of the critically acclaimed prequel from Ryu Ga Gotoku Studio.

This upgraded release features new story cutscenes, the exclusive "Red Light Raid" online multiplayer mode, as well as expanded language options with audio in English and Chinese and subtitles in French, Italian, German, Spanish, and Simplified Chinese.

This comprehensive version promises to introduce the gritty origins of the Yakuza franchise to a wider global audience on Nintendo’s latest platform. SEGA has also opened pre-orders for RAIDOU Remastered: The Mystery of the Soulless Army, scheduled to launch June 19, with the much-anticipated Two Point Museum joining the Switch 2 catalog later in the year.

Each game supports both digital and physical editions sold via the Nintendo eShop and participating retailers. Players eager to secure their spot on day one are encouraged to visit official channels such as sega.com for the latest news and preorder opportunities.

With a diverse selection of high-caliber titles, the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch lineup signals a strong start for the platform, promising new experiences for devoted Nintendo fans and newcomers alike.
