You had first-party games like Mario Kart World and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour, as well as premium third-party titles like Cyberpunk 2077, Split Fiction and Street Fighter 6. That's on top of a few indie gems like Hollow Knight Silksong and Hades 2.

For this particular list I'm going to focus on upcoming first-party games, ranking them from worst to best based on what I've played so far.

It's worth noting that I've excluded Switch 2 re-releases of old favourites like Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Party Jamboree, as well as upcoming first-party games that aren't playable during Nintendo Switch 2 Experience events, such as Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment and Pokemon Legends: Z-A.

Similar to Astro's Playroom for the PS5, Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour is a virtual showcase of the new Nintendo console, using interactive games and experiences to explain how things work and what the console is capable of.

Players literally explore a huge Nintendo Switch 2 console that's split into multiple areas, each based on the system's different components. The Left JoyCon is one part of the map, the dock is another area, and the display is essentially a huge ice rink packed with quizzes, mini-games and fellow explorers to talk to.
