Nintendo Australia published its November 2026 release roundup on 2 November, giving local dates for a busy Switch 2 lineup. Its list includes a new Ocarina of Time remake, a trio of 5 November releases, Pikmin 4's enhanced edition, a multiplayer Sonic crossover, and a late-month roguelike. The dates below come from Nintendo's Australian announcement. They are scheduled dates, not verification that an individual Australian eShop download has unlocked.

First week: giant monsters, Hyrule, EVE and the Guardians

Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered is scheduled for 4 November in Australia. Nintendo describes 12 playable monsters, updated presentation and local or online multiplayer. Some international Nintendo roundups list a different date; use the Australian listing for an Australian calendar rather than silently substituting the UK schedule.

The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is due 5 November on Switch 2. Nintendo is describing a remake, not merely adding the original N64 game to a subscription catalogue. For specific remake features and the 40th-anniversary hardware, see our separate Zelda guide. The official date alone does not establish the digital midnight unlock time or physical shop inventory.

Stellar Blade Complete Edition joins the Switch 2 lineup that same day. Nintendo says it includes previously released DLC and four additional outfits influenced by Bayonetta. That is a description of included content, not an independently measured performance or graphics comparison with other platforms.

Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition is also on Nintendo Australia's 5 November list. It is an action-adventure starring Star-Lord and the Guardians; check the actual edition contents and regional store listing before buying, rather than assuming it includes every other platform's add-on.

12 November: tiny teamwork, RPGs and eight-player co-op

Pikmin 4 – Nintendo Switch 2 Edition + Dandori Academy comes on 12 November. Nintendo highlights visual enhancements, Oatchi microphone commands and the new Dandori Academy activities. We already have a separate guide to the demo and edition; check its eShop listing to distinguish buying a full game from any upgrade route available to existing owners.

Metaphor: ReFantazio, Atlus's fantasy RPG, is also scheduled for Switch 2 on 12 November. Nintendo links a free trial from its Australian listing; confirm the exact version, save-data handling and purchase entitlement through the Australian storefront before installing.

For something built around playing together, SONIC PICO PARK is listed for Switch 2 and Switch on 12 November. The publisher describes co-operative obstacle courses for up to eight players, with local, online and cross-platform play. That advertised feature set is a reason to check platform requirements and who needs their own copy before organising a group.

Later in the month: DLC and a co-op roguelike

Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Keepsake Sea is scheduled for 18 November. It is a paid expansion, not the launch of an entirely new base game; Nintendo describes new sea-themed biomes and characters including Milo Thatch, Jack Sparrow and Megara. Check the required base game and your preferred platform's purchase terms.

The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ rounds out this selected list on 19 November for Switch 2. Nintendo advertises online cooperative play for up to four players. As with any internet-based game, this announcement is not an independent claim about matchmaking performance, pricing or Australian server availability.

Before you spend Australian dollars

  1. Use Nintendo Australia's dated November roundup as the regional schedule, then open the individual Australian eShop listing.
  2. Distinguish a remake, remaster, complete edition, paid DLC and upgrade: their entitlements and existing-owner options are not interchangeable.
  3. Check age classifications, download size, physical stock, online subscription requirements and local multiplayer compatibility on each product page.
  4. For in-game footage, trailers and screenshots, follow Nintendo's linked product listings. We have not personally tested or benchmarked the new Switch 2 releases.
