When unpacking my Nintendo Switch 2 for the first time, I didn’t expect a 2023 game I had already sunk 70 hours into to be the title that pulled me in the most. But with its mostly one-note launch lineup (there’s only so much Mario Kart one can play before needing a break from its cacophony of cartoon noises and randomized chaos), experiencing one of Nintendo’s finest in a brand new way is where I’m having the most fun.
Two of the best games to play at Switch 2’s launch are upgraded versions of The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild and its direct sequel Tears Of The Kingdom, especially if you somehow missed out on either of them the first time around. Both get a significant boost from Nintendo’s new hardware, boasting better resolution, textures, and a steady frame rate. As has been said all over the internet, particularly with Tears Of The Kingdom, these Switch 2 versions play like what they should have at launch.
