The Switch 2's lineup offers something for nearly every type of player. From family-friendly Nintendo staples like Mario Kart and Donkey Kong to mature experiences like Cyberpunk 2077 and Elden Ring, the console is clearly aiming to appeal to a broad audience. The inclusion of GameCube classics will also please longtime Nintendo fans who have been requesting more access to the company's back catalog.

Nintendo Switch 2 games prices are going up
While the original Switch largely maintained a $59.99 price point for most games (with Tears of the Kingdom being the exception at $69.99), the Switch 2 is seeing some price increases. Mario Kart World will launch at $79.99, while Donkey Kong Bananza will cost $69.99. This suggests Nintendo is following the industry trend toward higher prices for AAA titles on next-generation hardware.

Nintendo Switch 2 launches June 5 for $449.
