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 generations of players, Square Enix, like many publishers, has embraced multiplatform releases. Beyond PC ports, they've also brought a significant number of remasters and special editions to Nintendo's handheld consoles.
This isn't entirely new territory. Final Fantasy's connection with Nintendo goes back to its origins, with the first game launching on the Famicom in 1987. In fact, the first six mainline entries debuted on Nintendo systems before Square Enix shifted primarily to PlayStation with Final Fantasy VII.
With Final Fantasy VII: Rebirth's PC launch and a notable Magic: The Gathering crossover boosting the series' profile in 2025, many are eager to explore or revisit the franchise. Below is a comprehensive list of Final Fantasy games available on the Nintendo Switch.
