Upcoming Nintendo Switch Games: May 2018

A bunch of Wii U ports and a few indie titles highlight the month. Here’s what’s headed to the Switch.

April was a great month for gaming on the Nintendo Switch with Nintendo Labo, South Park: The Fractured But Whole, and Naruto Shippuden: Ultimate Ninja Storm Trilogy all releasing within the same timeframe.

May, however, will be a relatively slow month for AAA releases this year as Nintendo gears up for E3. Nintendo is likely to reveal a few new titles at the event alongside brand new information for Super Smash Bros. for Nintendo Switch.

The biggest titles this month come in the form of Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze and Hyrule Warriors, two Wii U ports that are getting extra modes and features for their debut on Nintendo Switch. There is also a slew of Indie games coming out to boost the Switch’s library over the next few weeks.
