For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, a nearly 40-year-old franchise needs to reach new generations. This, coupled with financial considerations, has driven publishers towards multi-platform releases. Beyond PC ports, Square Enix has also released numerous remasters and special editions specifically for Nintendo's handheld consoles.

This isn't entirely new; Final Fantasy's connection with Nintendo stretches back to its origins with the first game's 1987 debut on the Famicom. In fact, the first six mainline entries launched on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix shifted to PlayStation as the primary platform with Final Fantasy VII.

With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a significant Magic: The Gathering expansion boosting the series' profile in 2025, many are eager to explore Final Fantasy. Below is a comprehensive list of Switch-available titles for newcomers and returning fans.
