PSA: Not all titles will be available on launch day, June 5. Some games will launch with the console, but others will follow later. For example, Donkey Kong Bananza won’t hit shelves until July 17, and major releases like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Z-A are currently missing from preorder listings on both Switch 2 and the current model.

For those looking to enhance their Switch 2 experience, we've got you covered with accessories. If you're interested in new Joy-Con 2, Switch 2 Pro controllers, a camera, and more, today's the day to add them to your cart.

How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?

Nintendo has confirmed the upgrade costs for two more Switch games to their Switch 2 editions, Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. While upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom from the original Switch to Switch 2 costs $9.99, upgrading Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will be more than double that. Although U.S. prices on the American Nintendo eShop are not yet available, the UK Nintendo eShop lists the upgrade pack at £16.99 / €19.99, significantly higher than the £7.99 / €9.99 charged for Zelda upgrades.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?

It has been revealed that most physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games in Japan are Game-Key Cards, a trend that seems to be mirrored in the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 games, such as Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are also Game-Key Cards. We've identified only four third-party physical Switch 2 games that aren't Game-Key Cards: Cyberpunk 2077, Daemon X Machina: Titanic Scion, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma, and No Sleep For Kaname Date - From AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES Aiba Edition.

Switch 2 Game Previews

IGN recently had hands-on experience with two of the biggest upcoming Switch 2 games, Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World, both available for preorder now. Here's what Brian Altano and Logan Plant had to say about these highly anticipated launch titles:

Donkey Kong Bananza: "I also think Bananza is on track to be one of the most gorgeous Nintendo games I’ve seen. It really does take advantage of Switch 2's hardware – the environments are beautiful and DK’s animations are wonderfully expressive, and I left feeling like the next generation of first-party Nintendo games had truly arrived."

Mario Kart World: "Mario Kart World feels like the definitive Switch 2 launch game and will certainly be one of the defining games of the Switch 2 generation. The new open world format and Knockout Tour modes are massive new additions to the franchise, the visuals are gorgeous, the gameplay is a blast, and we can’t wait to play more, even if we wish it was a few bucks cheaper."
