For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, with a nearly 40-year history and a need to reach new audiences, Square Enix, like many publishers, has embraced multiplatform releases. This includes not only PC ports, but also a significant number of remasters and special editions specifically for Nintendo's handheld consoles.

This isn't entirely new territory. The series' origins trace back to Nintendo's Famicom in 1987, with the first six mainline entries appearing 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 boosting the series' profile in 2025, many are eager to explore the world of Final Fantasy. Below is a comprehensive list of Final Fantasy games available on the Nintendo Switch, perfect for newcomers and longtime fans alike.
