2026 is almost here, and if you hadn’t picked one up already, perhaps your home is now filled with the sweet, new hardware smell of a Switch 2<\/a>.

Switch 2 launched in June 2025 and, although a young console in the scheme of things, it’s built up a sizeable software library, mixing some choice exclusives with a host of ‘Nintendo Switch 2 Editions<\/a>‘, which include optimised, improved versions of some of the greatest video games ever made.<\/p>\n
