\nNintendo officially held its Nintendo Switch 2 Direct earlier this week, where it revealed not only the features of the new console but all of its launch games that you\u2019ll be able to play on day one. The Nintendo Switch 2 is looking like a pretty powerful upgrade over the original Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED models, but that uptick in performance also comes with a higher price tag.
\nThe Switch 2 will be available on June 5 for $449.99, provided the new tariffs imposed by President Trump don\u2019t cause an increase before launch. On that note, it\u2019s not unlikely that Nintendo could choose to raise the price of the console in the US. The company has already delayed the pre-orders for it, which were originally slated to go live on April 9 (next week). Nintendo will also offer a bundle version of the Switch 2 that comes with a digital copy of Mario Kart World \u2013 one of the console\u2019s exclusive new games \u2013 set for $499.99.
\nPricing aside, there\u2019s a decent number of games that will be available on June 5. However, most of these are not first-party Switch 2 exclusives.
\nThere are 21 launch day games for the Nintendo Switch 2
\nIn terms of launch day titles, there are a total of 21 games. Just three of those, though, are exclusive to the Nintendo Switch 2. Many of the others were available on Nintendo Switch, Switch Lite, and Switch OLED. Some are also being ported from other platforms. For example, one of the launch day titles is Cyberpunk 2077. What is sure to be a masterful accomplishment when you think about the system that game will be running on.
\nThat being said, the Nintendo Switch 2 is a more powerful machine. According to NVIDIA, the Switch 2\u2019s custom NVIDIA chip delivers 10x the graphics performance. That sure sounds like it would be enough to run Cyberpunk 2077. Although it\u2019s worth pointing out that it probably won\u2019t look as good as it does on PC, PS5, or Xbox Series X. Still, it will give more players a chance to dive into the game.
\nThe Switch 2\u2019s exclusive games include Mario Kart World, Survival Kids, and Nintendo Switch 2 Welcome Tour. As for the remaining day-one games, the list is vast and includes fan-favorites like Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. Albeit in upgraded forms with better graphics and more vibrant colors. As well as faster frame rates.
\nYou\u2019ll also be able to play Arcade Archives 2 Ridge Racer, Bravely Default Flying Fairy HD Remaster, Deltarune (chapter 1-4), Fast Fusion, Fortnite, Hitman World of Assassination \u2013 Signature Edition, Hogwarts Legacy, Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess, Nobunaga\u2019s Ambition: Awakening Complete Edition, Puyo Puyo Tetris 2S, Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Sid Meier\u2019s Civilization VII \u2013 Nintendo Switch 2 Edition, Split Fiction, Street Fighter 6, and Yakuza 0 Director\u2019s Cut.
\nSeveral more games will launch before the end of the Summer
\nJune 5 is just the start, and while the list seems small, Nintendo appears to be ramping things up fast. It has several games lined up for the rest of June. There are also a few slated for release in July and the latter part of the Summer. Another exclusive title, Donkey Kong Bananza, launches on June 17. Then there will be Drag x Drive sometime this Summer, and Hyrule Warriors: Age of Imprisonment this Winter. Both of these are also Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive games.
\nThere are quite a few games Nintendo hasn\u2019t announced release dates for on the way as well. However, the company has confirmed that the games are coming sometime in 2025. Some of those include Elden Ring Tarnished Edition, Borderlands 4, Hollow Knight: Silksong, the Switch 2 edition of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, and Star Wars Outlaws, just to name a few. Additionally, From Software\u2019s Switch 2-exclusive \u2018The Duskbloods\u2019 is coming in 2026.
