Every Final Fantasy Game on Nintendo Switch in 2025

The Final Fantasy series has maintained a presence on Nintendo systems since its debut on the Famicom in 1987. As of 2025, the Nintendo Switch serves as a major hub for the franchise, hosting a library of 21 titles. This collection is divided into 12 mainline games, one prequel, and eight spinoffs.

Square Enix has utilized various methods to bring these games to the platform, ranging from the comprehensive Pixel Remaster collection to updated ports of classic PlayStation entries. The library is set to expand further in 2026 with physical releases and the arrival of the FFVII Remake on the upcoming Switch 2.

The connection between Final Fantasy and Nintendo dates back to the series’ infancy. The first game debuted on Nintendo's Famicom system in 1987. In fact, the first six mainline Final Fantasy games debuted on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix moved the series’ primary platform to PlayStation with the release of Final Fantasy 7.

Currently, there are 21 Final Fantasy games available on the Switch. This figure includes 12 mainline games, one prequel, and eight spinoffs. These games are split into two categories: mainline games ordered by original release date, and other games ordered by their Switch release date.

Upcoming releases for the platform include:

• Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade on Switch 2
• Physical Switch editions of Final Fantasy VII through IX

The Switch library includes the foundational entries of the series through the Final Fantasy 1–6 Pixel Remaster. These are available individually or as a bundle for $75 USD. Each game features updated graphics, rearranged soundtracks, and new galleries. The remasters also include quality-of-life updates such as new UIs and the ability to toggle random encounters.

Specifically, the Pixel Remasters offer:

• Overhauled graphics for the first six games
• Rearranged soundtracks
• Updated user interfaces
• Galleries for creatures, illustrations, and music

Later mainline entries are also present. Final Fantasy VII is a port of the 1997 original featuring a 3x speed mode and the ability to turn battle encounters off. Final Fantasy VIII Remastered includes similar battle assists and speed modes. Final Fantasy IX adds an autosave feature and HD cutscenes to the original 2000 release.

The library continues with Final Fantasy X/X-2 HD Remaster, a bundle featuring over 100 hours of content with upgraded graphics and audio options. Final Fantasy XII: The Zodiac Age brings the 2006 remaster to the system, featuring the Zodiac Job System and re-recorded soundtrack. Finally, Final Fantasy 15 Pocket Edition HD offers an abridged version of the original game with cartoonish character models and simplified combat, retaining the full story.

Beyond the main numbered entries, the Switch hosts several spinoffs. World of Final Fantasy Maxima is an accessible RPG aimed at younger audiences that combines the series' Active Time Battle system with the ability to capture Mirages. It was co-developed by Square Enix and Tose.

Chocobo's Mystery Dungeon: Every Buddy! is a remastered version of the 2007 Wii game. This turn-based RPG features randomly generated dungeons and a buddy system for creature companionship.

The Collection of Mana is also available, containing three Mana games. This collection includes the 1991 Game Boy title Final Fantasy Adventure. Although it began as a Final Fantasy spinoff, the Mana series dropped those ties with the release of its second game, Secret of Mana.

While the current library is extensive, Square Enix has plans for further physical distribution and next-generation hardware support. The publisher has confirmed that physical Switch editions of Final Fantasy VII through IX are in production.

Additionally, Final Fantasy VII Remake Integrade is scheduled to launch on the Switch 2 in 2026. This aligns with the publisher's strategy to make the series accessible to younger generations while maximizing their bottom line through multiplatform releases.
