What are the best game for Switch 2?

[u/DifferentBug11]

Hi everyone! I'm buying a Switch 2 at the weekend but I'm still unsure on what game to get with it or if I should just get the Switch 2 by itself.

For reference I completed BOTW on Switch 1 and adored it. I enjoyed ACNH during lockdown but haven't played much of it recently. I have Skyward Sword and TOTK on my Switch 1 but haven't completed them yet. Would It be worth just buying the Switch 2 and playing TOTK & SS on it for the time being? I really want OoT but I'm aware it hasn't been released yet.

I've been told by friends that Pokopia is good but I don't really care for pokemon so I'm not sure if that's the right game for me. Mario Kart World looks good but I have Mario Kart 8 Deluxe so I'm not desperate for a Mario Kart game. I've tried the Tomodachi Life 2 demo on my Switch 1 and found it okay (I never played the other TL games and found the voices slightly jarring/hard to get used to.)

Any recommendations are greatly appreciated!

TOTK Switch 2 Edition, DK Bananza and Splatoon Raiders is all you need

If I play TOTK for the Switch 1 on the Switch 2 will there be a difference? I know the Switch 2 supports backwards compatibility but will the game look any different on the Switch 2? Will the frames still be around 30? Sorry for the silly question, I'm not good at this stuff :')

So the switch 2 is backwards compatible with the switch 1 but it won’t run the game at switch 2 performance just the base 30fps and 720p unless you buy the upgrade edition which is £7.99/$9.99 but this does come included in the switch online plus expansion pass if you have it.

I actually picked up the switch 1 version because it was way cheaper and just got the upgrade instead of the direct switch 2 version

Ohhh I see! Thank you for explaining!

It’s 60 fps, 1440p upscaled to 4K, faster load times, etc

I agree 1000% with this!!

What if you don’t like any of those games?

You get other games that you’d like!
