August 2022 is going to see a lot of new releases for the Nintendo Switch, but many players will want to look for the best of the best. There is quite a long list of titles to be released, and most people should be able to find at least one game that piques their interest.

Indeed, some of the included games are either highly anticipated or have enough of a hook to attract some casual fans. It’s a perfect time for players to get to know some new titles, and they may even find a new favorite game.
while a possible Super Mario Odyssey 2 announcement is on the minds of many, the Switch’s offer for August should not be overlooked. Quite a few games ready for release look promising, whether they’re fans of an existing franchise or something completely new. Regardless, there are a few titles to keep an eye on over the course of the month.
