Nintendo has shared new gameplay footage for two upcoming Nintendo Switch 2 titles through its Nintendo Treehouse: Live presentations. The showcase highlights Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park and Pokémon Pokopia, both scheduled for release exclusively on the Nintendo Switch 2 system.
The presentations provide a closer look at gameplay features, performance upgrades, and multiplayer options, offering players more details ahead of launch.
Super Mario Bros. Wonder – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Meetup in Bellabel Park
Release Date: March 26
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
Upgrade Pack Price: $19.99
The Nintendo Switch 2 Edition of Super Mario Bros. Wonder expands on the original side-scrolling adventure. Players once again journey through the Flower Kingdom to stop Bowser, Bowser Jr., and now all seven Koopalings. The updated edition introduces improved performance, additional playable characters, a new power-up, and an entirely new area called Bellabel Park.
The game supports both solo and multiplayer gameplay, continuing the cooperative platforming experience the series is known for.
Players who already own the original Nintendo Switch version can purchase an upgrade pack to access the Nintendo Switch 2 Edition content. The full version of the base game is required to use the upgrade content, which is sold separately.
This enhanced edition is designed to take advantage of the Nintendo Switch 2 hardware, offering optimized visuals and expanded gameplay content.
Pokémon Pokopia
Release Date: March 5
Platform: Nintendo Switch 2
Regular Price: $69.99
Pokémon Pokopia introduces a new gameplay concept within the Pokémon universe. Players take on the role of a Ditto that has transformed into a human. The objective is to build relationships with other Pokémon, establish a personal home, and help develop a shared town environment.
Working alongside Professor Tangrowth, players gather resources and collaborate to create a community where Pokémon can live together. As the town grows, players can build a larger home and invite Pokémon residents, as well as other players, to visit.
The game supports local wireless and online multiplayer features. Nintendo Switch Online membership and a Nintendo Account are required for online play, and availability may vary by region.
A notable feature is GameShare, which allows players to invite others to join a session - even if they do not own the game - on either Nintendo Switch 2 or Nintendo Switch systems. However, the Nintendo Switch 2 system must initiate the GameShare session, and shared access is limited to the duration of that session.

Players interested in either game can find additional details, pricing information, and technical requirements through official Nintendo resources.
With release dates set for early March and late March, these two Nintendo Switch 2 games are positioned as key additions to the platform’s growing library.
