Derby Stallion 2 Launches On Nintendo Switch 2
The sequel keeps the series' production studio and adds named real broodmares and stallions up to the 2023 debut generation, so the game's breeding database now reaches a newer crop of racehorses than the previous entry.

Game Addict released Derby Stallion 2 for Nintendo Switch 2 on September 24 at 9,980 yen including tax. Parity Bit holds the production copyright, and Land Ho developed it, continuing from the Switch entry. The racehorse breeding simulation runs a cycle of mating, breeding, training, racing and retirement, with casual and legacy modes, named broodmares and stallions, 3D cel-shaded races, and courses drawn from the 2026 JRA racing program.
Two modes set the difficulty before the barn opens. Casual mode supplies more money, removes bankruptcy, and walks the player through ranch building and training. Legacy mode keeps the tight budget and ends the game on bankruptcy.
Production itself widened. Nicks are stronger, broodmare crosses arrive, and stacked generations of homebred mares and stallions now carry their own cross effects. Broodmares are recorded under real names, among them Almond Eye, Gran Alegria and Chrono Genesis, covering horses born up to 2021, the 2023 debut generation. Stallions range from Deep Impact and Kitasan Black to Contrail, Criso Beryl and Poetic Flare.
