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

28 April 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)!
