So, there you go, there are the games we’re desperate to see as Nintendo Switch 2 launch titles. They won’t be, but life is a constant cycle of unbridled hope and often slightly disappointing by comparison reality, with the hope bit being both what makes it all so enthralling, and so soul-warping.

With all that in mind, these are the backwards compatible games that I’ll be playing first when I have the Nintendo Switch 2 in my hands. I’ve picked a mix of titles that I think are not only quality, but also could benefit the most from the new hardware.
