As part of Summer Game Fest and IGN’s Summer of Gaming, Wholesome Direct took place on June 11, 2022, with nearly 100 announcements and announcements for the game, all revolving around the “Healthy Gaming” trend. We’ve seen games about frogs, cats, bears, witches, and mail delivery โ but which ones are coming to the Switch, you ask?
(Also, if you missed Wholesome Direct, You can watch it again here!)
Here is a list of every Wholesome Direct game coming to the Nintendo Switch, with short descriptions from the developers and release windows or dates, if any!
(Note: some of these games were just announced for ‘consoles’, ‘outline’ for consoles, or simply ‘aimed’ for consoles… but we’ve assumed this includes the Switch, so be warned that it might not be all of them. Custom to switch!)
