<\/p>\n
The collaborative relationship between LEGO and Nintendo, two world leaders in family-friendly entertainment that operate in the adjacent realms of toys and games, began with the 1999 release of LEGO Racers on N64. At least one LEGO game has been released on a Nintendo platform nearly every year since, and multiple Nintendo-themed LEGO sets have been released each year since they debuted in 2020.<\/p>\n
The LEGO-Nintendo synergy has persisted through the Switch era, and with the Switch 2 now out in the wild, we\u2019re looking back on the legacy of LEGO on the Switch.<\/p>\n
As of 2026, 19 LEGO games have been released on Switch consoles<\/strong>, from LEGO Undercover City in 2017 to the most recent game, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight, in 2026. Of the 20 games, nine are LEGO originals and 11 are licensed collaborations with other intellectual properties.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/span><\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n In April 2017, one month after the console\u2019s launch, the series\u2019 first game to hit the Switch was LEGO City Undercover, which is an original LEGO game originally released for Wii U in 2013. It\u2019s based on the LEGO City series of themed building sets and tells the tale of an undercover police officer tracking an escaped prisoner.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO Worlds is another original game released on the Switch in 2017. Worlds is the most authentically LEGO game available on Switch; it steps out of the series\u2019 usual action-adventure genre into the world of sandbox games (think Minecraft), allowing you to build structures and environments brick by brick.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 11<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The LEGO Ninjago Movie Video Game is, as its name makes clear, an adaptation of The LEGO Ninjago Movie. The game and movie, both based on LEGO\u2019s own Ninjago line, were released in the U.S. on September 22, 2017. The action-adventure game features eight locations and several playable characters from the movie.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 10<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO Marvel Super Heroes draws characters and locations from Marvel movies and comics alike, with a massive roster of characters that (probably) includes every Marvel hero and villain you can think of. It\u2019s a direct sequel to LEGO Marvel Super Heroes that ultimately pits you against the time-travelling villain Kang the Conqueror.<\/p>\n The first game is also available on the Switch, though you\u2019ll find it further down this list \u2013 it wasn\u2019t ported until 2021.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Another LEGO-Disney collaboration, LEGO The Incredibles combines story beats from both movies, the 2004 original and 2018 sequel. The game was released alongside The Incredibles 2 in June 2018. It features over 100 playable characters, including all five members of the Parr family. This game is one of many Disney games currently available on the Switch in 2025.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 14<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO DC Super-Villains is a LEGO Batman spinoff focused on a collection of villains from the deep history of DC Comics, including The Joker and Lex Luthor. The villains must navigate the internal threat of personality conflict while pursuing the mysterious Justice Syndicate. It\u2019s notably the first LEGO game to center its story around a player-created character.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The LEGO Movie 2 Videogame is a movie tie-in that was largely knocked for its lack of originality and innovation. The game blends elements of traditional action-adventure LEGO games with the building elements introduced in LEGO Worlds.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 9<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n Originally released alongside the movie in 2015, LEGO Jurassic World came to Switch four years later in 2019. It features a 20-level campaign with five levels from each movie that had been released up until that point in time (Jurassic Park 1-3 and Jurassic World). In addition to characters from the Jurassic World movies, you can unlock playable versions of the franchise\u2019s primary directors, Steven Spielberg and Colin Trevorrow.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 12<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO Builder\u2019s Journey came to Switch in 2021 after debuting on Apple Arcade in 2019. While most LEGO games incorporate puzzle-solving, Builder\u2019s Journey is all puzzles, all the time. It\u2019s a beautifully designed game that tells its father-son story one geometric puzzle at a time.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n First released in 2013, LEGO Marvel Superheroes didn\u2019t come to Switch until 2021. It tells an original story with several of Marvel\u2019s most recognizable heroes \u2013 Spider-Man, Iron Man, Hulk, Wolverine, Captain America, and others \u2013 teaming up to foil the apocalyptic plans of Doctor Doom and Loki. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The definitive LEGO Star Wars experience, The Skywalker Saga features reimagined scenes from all nine Skywalker movies: the original trilogy, prequel trilogy, and sequel trilogy. Within this sprawling collection are over 300 playable characters, 23 planets, and 100 vehicles. Compared to past LEGO games, The Skywalker Saga moves you closer to the action by shifting the camera from a zoomed-out third-person perspective to a tighter over-the-shoulder view. Considering the sheer amount of Star Wars LEGO sets out there, it’s no surprise this made for one of the best Star Wars games of all time.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 16<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO Brawls is the worst-reviewed game on this list, based on Metascore (46). It\u2019s an accessible, Smash Bros.-inspired fighting game originally released for Apple Arcade in 2019. Brawls features well over 100 minifigures\/fighters from over 10 LEGO sets, including Ninjago and Jurassic World.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO Bricktales is an original, puzzle-based adventure similar to LEGO Builder\u2019s Journey, though on a larger scale. The game takes you to dioramas set in jungles, deserts, cities, medieval castles, and tropical islands. Bricktales was made by ClockStone Studio, the developer best known for its Bridge Constructor series.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO 2K Drive, from prolific sports game developer Visual Concepts, is a racing game set in the open world of Bricklandia. 2K Drive is a robust racing game that features street, off-road, and water races; story, single race, tournament, minigame, and free-roam modes; and a custom car-builder that our review called \u201cexcellent.\u201d<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 6<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n LEGO Fortnite is a collection of LEGO-themed games housed within Fortnite. Epic Games and the LEGO Group have created several LEGO Fornite experiences since the collaboration was launched in late 2023. Among the current ways to play are a survival-crafting game called Odyssey, an online social RPG called Brick Life, and a level designer called LEGO Islands.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The franchise\u2019s latest game is LEGO Horizon Adventures, a collaboration between PlayStation\u2019s Guerrilla Games and English support studio Studio Gobo. It\u2019s a retelling of Horizon Zero Dawn, simplified and sanitized for a wider audience, that leans into the combat and platforming mechanics of LEGO action games before it.<\/p>\n <\/p>\n <\/p>\n 13<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The latest LEGO game is a two-player co-op adventure that is short and sweet. In our 8 out of 10 review, IGN praised its meorable puzzle games and fantasticly presented world. It doesn’t have the same level of depth as co-op games like Split Fiction, or It Takes Two, but it’s a fun game you can play together with someone.<\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n The second LEGO game we got in 2025, LEGO Party is, as you might guess, a party game along the lines of Mario Party. IGN’s 8\/10 review describes it as “Creative, colourful, and a consistent crack up… purpose-built to turn any boring old night into a block party filled with belly laughs.” It feaures 60 minigames across LEGO sets from the Ninjago, Pirates, and Space themes. You can also customize your own minifigure and tackle Challenge Zones with up to three friends. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We have officially entered the Switch 2 era, and this most recent release happens to only be playable on the newer Nintendo console (as well as PC, Xbox Series X|S, and PS5). If you’ve seen any gameplay, you’ll quickly understand why. <\/p>\n In the words of our reviewer, Simon Cardy, LEGO Batman: Legacy of the Dark Knight is a “lovingly made, often hilarious take on both Batman\u2019s movie and video game history alike,” with a particularly impressive take on an open-world Gotham. Unsurprisingly, the game was accompanied by a new spread of LEGO Batman sets. <\/p>\n <\/span><\/p>\n We don’t know too much more about upcoming LEGO games, but on the physical brick-building side of things, LEGO recently announced a new Smart Brick. A series of live-action LEGO movies are theoretically in development, while most existing LEGO movies are available to stream online. <\/p>\n Jordan covers games, shows, and movies as a freelance writer for IGN.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" The collaborative relationship between LEGO and Nintendo, two world leaders in family-friendly entertainment that operate in the adjacent realms of toys and games, began with the 1999 release of LEGO Racers on N64.
