10 BEST GAMES YOU CAN PLAY ON NINTENDO SWITCH 2 AT LAUNCH

Were you one of the three million eager gamers who bagged a Switch 2 on launch day? Once the excitement of fondling the first piece of new Nintendo hardware in eight years has faded, you're probably wondering what you should play. Well, there's a healthy lineup for early adopters, as well as the option to transfer your old Switch library.

A lot of it does seem to be looking back to the past, with ports of older titles that struggled to run smoothly on the OG Switch's rapidly ageing tech. But beyond just a lick of paint, you might be surprised how many of 'em have been given exclusive features and enhancements. In some cases it's enough to make games you've played before feel like new.

The lack of a fresh Zelda adventure or original Mario game on the near horizon might be a tad disappointing (see p78 for my Mario Kart World verdict); but with the return of Donkey Kong this summer, along with new Metroid and Pokemon titles coming, there are still some classic Nintendo franchises to look forward to.

In the meantime, from reborn hits to bighearted indies and powerhouse ports, here's our pick of the best titles to get started on what will hopefully be another long and fruitful generation for the gaming giant.

01 The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom - Switch 2 Edition

That the sequel to one of the greatest games of all time managed to completely outdo its predecessor in every way, while making a familiar open-world map feel fresh again, is already remarkable. But playing its upgraded edition in 4K, HDR and 60fps is pure joy.

Compared to the Breath of the Wild upgrade, this one also miraculously manages to load up Hyrule's expanded world (including the skies and depths) even faster, though it's the new abilities such as Ultrahand and Ascend that really make it much harder to go back to its predecessor.
