A couple of months since the Switch 2 launched, we’ve all got to grips with the new magnetic-latching Joy-Cons, the jump in graphic fidelity and (honestly) the wait for a next-gen Zelda or Mario title. With the arrival of Donkey Kong Bananza, the new console has its first entirely new breakout platformer hit, we asked the Engadget team for the must-have games on the Switch 2.

With a leap in processing power, the Switch 2 can now handle ostensibly huge games like Hitman and Cyberpunk 2077. In fact, the latter’s release on Nintendo’s console nudged me into finally playing the game. I last played it on Google’s Stadia cloud gaming service (RIP), and gave up at the tutorial. Already, I’m having a more successful playthrough. I can even share my save between Switch 2 and PS5 — because I’m that lunatic who owns the game on both.
I’m also playing my way through the Switch 2 edition of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom, which now runs incredibly smoothly. This time, perhaps, I’ll finish it.
