Keep in mind, not all games will be available on launch day, June 5. Some titles will launch alongside the console, while others will follow later. For instance, Donkey Kong Bananza won't be available until July 17, and major titles like Metroid Prime 4: Beyond and Pokémon Legends: Z-A are still absent from preorder listings, both for Switch 2 and the current model.
For those looking to accessorize their new Switch 2, we've got you covered. Today is the perfect day to add the new Joy-Con 2, Switch 2 Pro controllers, a camera, and more to your shopping cart.
How Much to Upgrade Switch Games to Switch 2 Edition?
Nintendo has discreetly announced the upgrade costs for two more Switch games to their Switch 2 editions: Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree. These upgrades are not inexpensive. While upgrading The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom costs $9.99, both Kirby and the Forgotten Land and Super Mario Party Jamboree will set you back more than double that amount. Although precise U.S. prices are not yet available on the American Nintendo eShop, the UK eShop lists the upgrade at £16.99 / €19.99, significantly higher than the £7.99 / €9.99 for Zelda upgrades.

Switch 2: Game-Key Cards?
It's come to light that nearly all physical third-party Nintendo Switch 2 games released in Japan so far are Game-Key Cards, and it appears this trend will continue in the West. In the US, Sega's Switch 2 games, including Sonic X Shadow Generations and Yakuza 0: Director’s Cut, are listed as Game-Key Cards. So far, only four third-party physical Switch 2 games have been found 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 the opportunity to go hands-on with two of the most anticipated Switch 2 launch titles: Donkey Kong Bananza and Mario Kart World. Both are available for preorder now, and here are the impressions from Brian Altano and Logan Plant:
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."
