The Nintendo Switch 2 launched on June 5th, and with it, so did a bunch of games. Some are first-party Nintendo titles, though most are third-party offerings, including some notable ports of games we’ve been enjoying for a while on other gaming platforms. We bundled together all of the Switch 2 accessories in one, easy to browse article, so we’re doing the same for the launch games. In addition to prices, we’ll include install size, and whether the game is on the cartridge in full, or if it’s one of Nintendo’s Game-Key Cards (they’re cartridges that entitle you to a digital download, and that can be resold without issue).
