Nintendo Switch 2: list of games with English option in Japan (retail)

21 August 2025 Lite_Agent

Just like its predecessor, the Nintendo Switch 2 is region-free, which means games from any region will work on pretty much any console, wherever it was bought. And on this page, you will find the list of all the Nintendo Switch 2 games with an English language option in Japan. That way, you can easily check whether the games you were hoping to import can be played in English (and/or other languages).

Important note: this page only lists games that are available at retail in some form (either via physical card, or one of the new key cards)!
Looking for Nintendo Switch games with Enlish language option in Japan? Check out those two pages: Physical games / Digital-only games

About Game Key Cards: those cards do not rely on the Nintendo eShop, which means you can insert it in your Nintendo Switch 2 and download the game even if your console and/or Nintendo Account region do not match that of the card itself. Game Key Cards also work in regions/countries which do not have a Nintendo eShop.
