For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, with a nearly 40-year history and a need to reach younger audiences and maximize profits, Square Enix, like many publishers, has embraced multi-platform releases. This includes numerous PC ports and a significant number of remasters and special editions specifically for Nintendo's handheld consoles.
This isn't entirely new territory. Final Fantasy's connection with Nintendo stretches back to its origins, with the first game launching on the Famicom in 1987. In fact, the first six mainline entries debuted on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix shifted its focus to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.
With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a notable Magic: The Gathering expansion bringing Final Fantasy back into the spotlight in 2025, many are eager to explore the series. Below is a complete list of Final Fantasy games currently available on the Nintendo Switch, perfect for newcomers and veterans alike.
