Over a year in, the Switch 2 's software lineup could scarcely be looking healthier. Although it's still lacking the biggest of big hitters from Nintendo's own stable — there's been no Zelda game or Mario platformer yet — the platform holder has kept up a consistent stream of interesting second-tier titles like Splatoon Raiders , Switch 2 Editions of past classics like the Xenoblade series, and even Nintendo 64 remakes like Star Fox . (There's another one of those coming soon...)

That's in addition to stellar third-party support, with almost unanimous buy-in from indies and several big publishers going all-in on porting their biggest titles to Switch 2 — notably Square Enix, with the Final Fantasy 7 series, and Capcom, with Resident Evil, Onimusha, Pragmata, and more coming.

Switch 2 players shouldn't forget they also have access to the entire Switch library, playable under backward compatibility on Switch 2.…
