June 2025 is shaping up to be a huge month for Nintendo fans, especially with the arrival of the Nintendo Switch 2. This new console brings a wave of exciting games, including both brand-new titles and enhanced versions of beloved classics. Get ready for a packed gaming schedule, as many of these highly anticipated releases drop on the Switch 2's launch day. It's a great time to be a Nintendo gamer!## The Big Launch: June 5th Games
June 5th is the official launch date for the Nintendo Switch 2, and it's bringing a ton of games with it. We're talking about a mix of new experiences and some familiar faces getting a fresh coat of paint. Let's dive into some of the highlights.
Delta Rune Chapters 3 & 4
First up, we have Delta Rune Chapters 3 & 4, launching on June 4th (or June 5th in Japan due to time zones). If you've played the first two chapters, you know how good this series is. Chapters 1 and 2 were free, but these new ones will cost you about $25. The good news is that this purchase also includes all future chapters. It's a great deal for a really good game.
Mario Kart World
Next, we have Mario Kart World, which is an open-world Mario Kart game. It looks amazing, and the developers have clearly put a lot of work into it over the last eight years. You can drive on walls, do tricks, and explore different stages. It's going to be a lot of fun to just roam around with friends online. If you get the Switch 2 bundle, you can even snag it for $30 less. This is a big one for Mario Kart fans.
Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tool
Then there's the Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tool. This game is basically a collection of mini-games that act as tech demos for the new console. It costs $10, which some people think is a bit much for what it is, especially since it feels like it should be included with the console. Still, it'll be interesting to see how it showcases the Switch 2's features, like the HD Rumble.
Rune Factory Guardians of Assuma

It still has all the classic Rune Factory elements, like farming, dating, and town building. This one looks promising for fans of the series.
Fast Fusion Blitzing
Fast Fusion Blitzing is a new, fast-paced racing game that costs only $15. It's made by the same people who made Fast RMX on the original Switch. The game looks incredibly smooth and supports four-player split-screen, running at a solid 60 FPS. It even has game share, so you only need one copy for multiple players. It's a great value, even if it's competing with Mario Kart World.
Survival Kids
Survival Kids is a brand-new game that seems to be a cozy, family-focused puzzle adventure. You're dropped onto randomly generated islands and solve puzzles by scavenging for resources. It looks like it might be multiplayer-only, and there hasn't been much information released about it. It's also priced at $50, which is a bit steep.
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time
Fantasy Life i: The Girl Who Steals Time is a port that's already out on the original Switch. It's a really fun game where you can have different
