There's no real point in having an "official" release list because clearly Nintendo's newer management is abiding by not showing games until they are very near release.
You won't know what 2026 looks like until Nintendo Directs, this time a year ago we didn't have a Switch 2 reveal at all and knew nothing about Mario Kart aside from rumors and then didn't see Donkey Kong Bananza until way later.
I think a new 3D Mario is going to happen next year to coincide with the Mario Galaxy movie (same pattern for the first Mario movie which was followed that fall with Super Mario Wonder). But I don't think you'll even see that game until *after* the Mario Galaxy is out of theaters. So even if they have that game you're not going to see it probably until the summer at the earliest.
Capcom has Resident Evil (9) Requiem and Pragmata slated this year for Switch 2 officially, but it looks like Monster Hunter Wilds could be happening for Switch 2 this year also, that would be the best support from Capcom in ages.
I think you are going to see a ton of 3rd party support for the Switch 2 for 2026, probably the best a Nintendo system has had since the days of the Super NES.
