How to read the platform and release-date announcements
The showcase assigned platform support title by title: some games were announced for Switch 2, some for Switch, and some for both. A Switch release should not be assumed to include a Switch 2 version, or vice versa, unless the announcement lists both. Likewise, dates and windows above record what Nintendo announced on July 31, 2025; they do not establish a game’s current availability or whether a date later changed.
Nintendo UK’s official Partner Showcase page separately grouped selected titles under “Available to play today” and “Available to pre-order” in its event context. Those labels describe that page’s presentation, not a current storefront check.
