For much of the 21st century, Final Fantasy games were PlayStation exclusives. However, a nearly 40-year legacy necessitates broader accessibility for newer generations. This, coupled with financial considerations, has driven publishers towards multi-platform releases. Beyond PC ports, Square Enix has notably remastered and released several Final Fantasy titles for Nintendo's handheld consoles.

This isn't entirely new territory. The series' origins are deeply intertwined with Nintendo, beginning with the original game's 1987 debut on the Famicom. In fact, the first six mainline entries launched on Nintendo platforms before Square Enix shifted the series' primary focus to PlayStation 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 the world of Final Fantasy. Below is a comprehensive list of Final Fantasy games currently available on the Nintendo Switch, perfect for newcomers and veterans alike.

Final Fantasy I–VI Pixel Remaster

The first six Final Fantasy games are bundled in Square Enix's Pixel Remaster collection. Each boasts updated graphics, rearranged soundtracks, improved UIs, and new galleries showcasing creatures, artwork, and music. This is the ideal way to experience the classic Final Fantasy titles.

The Pixel Remasters are sold individually ($12–18 USD each) or as a six-game bundle ($75 USD). For individual purchases, FFVI is recommended for its compelling storyline.

Final Fantasy VII

A beloved classic, Final Fantasy VII is available on Switch. This is a port of the 1997 original, featuring a 3x speed mode, the ability to disable random encounters, and a battle enhancement mode. While the Remake and Rebirth offer modern mechanics, this version allows experiencing the original's impact.
