Metaphor and Isaac join Nintendo’s November lineup

Nintendo's Switch 2 calendar also brings the Ocarina of Time remake on November 5 and a paid Disney Dreamlight Valley expansion on November 18.

Nintendo's November 2026 lineup brings Metaphor: ReFantazio and The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ to the console, alongside a remake, co-op games and a paid Disney Dreamlight Valley expansion. On Nintendo's November list, Metaphor: ReFantazio is dated November 12. The Binding of Isaac: Repentance+ follows a week later, on November 19.

The month opens with monsters, although that date is already behind us. Godzilla: Destroy All Monsters Melee Remastered was set for November 3, with 12 monsters to pick from and both local and online multiplayer. Nintendo notes that every date on the page was accurate when it went up, so the rest of this calendar is best read as the plan at that moment rather than a guarantee.

November 5 is the crowded day. The Legend of Zelda: Ocarina of Time is described as a faithful remake, with reimagined visuals, a refreshed soundtrack and modernised gameplay.

Stellar Blade Complete Edition shares that date, and the Switch 2 version bundles the previously released DLC with four new outfits inspired by the Bayonetta series. Marvel's Guardians of the Galaxy: Encore Edition lands the same day too, though Nintendo's list does not say what the Encore part brings.

Co-op fills the second half

November 12 belongs to groups. The Switch 2 edition of Pikmin 4 arrives with the new Dandori Academy mode and lets players give voice commands to Oatchi through the console's built-in microphone. SONIC PICO PARK drops on the same day and supports co-op with up to eight friends, locally or online, with cross-platform play.

Disney Dreamlight Valley: The Keepsake Sea follows on November 18. It is a paid expansion with new biomes and new spaces to customize. Milo Thatch and Captain Jack Sparrow join the valley, and so does Megara. The next day, Repentance+ gives Isaac's descent online co-op for up to four players.

Owners of the original Switch get a much shorter list. Only SONIC PICO PARK and The Keepsake Sea are dated for both Nintendo Switch and Nintendo Switch 2, which leaves last-generation players with a co-op party game and a Disney expansion they will pay for.
