I just realized I have a ton of Switch 2 Editions of games now:

  • Ball x Pit
  • Divinity Original Sin
  • Fantasy Life i
  • Hello Kitty Island Adventure
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  • No Man's Sky
  • Pokemon Legends Z-A
  • Stardew Valley.

I still only have 2 actual Switch 2 exclusives (Bananza and Hyrule Warriors), but I'm getting my money's worth with Switch 2 editions (as well as other games which simply run better)

@FishyS
I've gotten a mix of use across exclusives, NS2 Editions, NS2-only multiplats, NS1 games that run better and NSO+.

For NS2 Exclusives, most time has been in DK Bonanza and Mario Kart.

For NS2 Editions, Metroid Prime 4 was the first NS2 game I beat. Then Tomb Raider reboot. Got tons of time in Fantasy Life i and Hogwarts Legacy and Trails in the Sky 1st Chapter, though. Plan to play DQVII Reimagined.

For NS2-only Multiplats, I beat Cyberpunk 2077 and put in quite a bit of time in Street Fighter 6. Plan to dig in to Final Fantasy VII Remake, Resident Evil 7, Village and Requiem, Monster Hunter Stories 3 and Pragmata.

For NS1 games via BC, already sunk plenty of time into Trials Rising, Pikmin 4 and Xenoblade X.

For NSO+, I'm already on Chapter 9 of Fire Emblem Path of Radiance, and put some time into F-Zero GX.

Really nice spread across all categories, I think.

For NS2 Editions, the only first-party one I have is Pokemon Z-A; I have Grand Bazaar and Guardians of Azuma for third party stuff.

But I do want to add Tears and BotW to my collection at some point, but I only want to buy them when I have time to actually go back and give each another run. And I'm back and forth on Kirby Forgotten Land; I 100%'ed that game and loved it, but if I buy the S2 Edition I'm getting it on cartridge, so I need to find it for a steal on eBay at some point.

100% agreement on World. Mario Kart is always that game I play between games so I always find myself coming back to it after a break playing other stuff. And every time I come back it surprises me with how good it is

It's hard to describe. It's almost like the constant complaining about it diminishes my recollection on how much I liked it. Even when I engage with those comments knowing that I liked the game. But when I come back I remind myself how much I like it

I love Mario Kart World as well. I recently played some online Knockout Tour races and I always have a blast playing that mode, lol. I like its new mechanics and courses, too.

As for what Nintendo Switch 2 Edition upgrades I have, I have ones for Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Metroid Prime 4 (which... I have yet to play), and Animal Crossing: New Horizons (which I can't play yet, I'm stuck with the regular version).

Ask if you want to be Switch friends with me, but I'd like to know you first. Thanks! ❤️

I have more S2Es than Switch 2 only titles too: TotK, Forgotten Land, Legends ZA, Prime 4, Hades II, Ball x Pit, RDR. Over half of those were brand new games though!

Same for me. My current collection of Switch 2 games

Switch 2 Games:
Mario Kart World
DK Bananza
Fast Fusion

Switch 2 Editions:
BotW
TotK
Metroid Prime 4
Dave the Diver
Animal Crossing... this week...

I've also played a bit of Air Riders which I got my sister for Christmas. But even if I counted that S2 Editions win out. Probably even more one sided of you count free updates in the S2 Edition column eg Galaxy 1 & 2.

Also, TotK is definitely my most played game on Switch 2 thus far. Probably followed by Mario Kart World, but then Mario & Rabbids Sparks of Hope. Not just for Switch 2 games

New year, new post. I've been a bit busy the last few weeks, hehe.

Let's see how I'm doing with pure Switch 2 games versus Switch 2 editions.

Switch 2 Games
Mario Kart World (physical)
Donkey Kong Bananza (physical)
Cyberpunk 2077 (physical)
Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment (physical)
Kirby Air Riders (physical)
Yakuza 0 (digital)
Street Fighter 6 (digital)
Star Wars Outlaws (digital)

Switch 2 Editions
BotW (“Free” NSO Upgrade)
TotK (“Free” NSO Upgrade)
Kirby and the Forgotten Land (DLC Digital)
No Man's Sky (Digital)
Stardew Valley (Digital)
Hades 2 (Digital)
Metroid Prime 4 (Physical)
Pokemon Z-A (Physical)
Yakuza Kiwami 1 & 2 (Digital)
Hogwarts Legacy (Digital)
The Elder Scrolls Skyrim (Digital)
Silksong (Digital)
Mario Galaxy 1 & 2 (Physical)

I believe and hope I haven't forgotten any games....
A slight advantage for Switch 2 Editions, but I can live with that.
I think that over the entire lifespan of the Switch 2, there will be more pure Switch 2 games than editions, which are only more prevalent now at the beginning.

Arguing with stupid People is like playing Chess with a Pigeon. No matter how well you play Chess, the Pigeon will knock over all the pieces, poop on the board, and strut around as if it had won.

This is exactly what I was thinking but couldn’t quite put into words.

I don't have a Switch 2 yet, but shortly after I get one, I want to obtain the following S2E upgrades:

Zelda TotK
ACNH
Pokémon Z-A (I don't have the original version of this game though, so I'll probably got the S2E on the same day I get the original game)

Whether I get any of the other announced ones is kind of debatable. I do already own Mario Wonder and Forgotten Land, but I'm probably going to end up passing on the upgrades for those to save some money and time.

@JaxonH

Regarding adding content to MK World, i think they could do quite a few things to make the open world part a bit more substantial. More collectibles, more P switches, some extra challenges, a few small things here and there would go a long way in making the overall experience much better!

Nep-Nep-Freak

@alexwolf, I would actually prefer if they left the original map untouched and added new P Switches and stuff to a second map or something. That way, if I ever get Mario Kart World someday, no more of my driving space in free roam is taken up by those things 😅. I am still thinking of potentially getting Mario Kart World several years into the future.

My current Switch 2 library:

  • Switch 2 games - MK World (physical), DK Bananza (physical), Daemon X Machina Titanic Scion (physical), Hyrule Warriors Age of Imprisonment (physical), Kirby Air Riders (physical), Yooka Replaylee (physical), Fast Fusion (digital), GCN NSO
  • Switch 2 editions - Hades 2 (only because there was no Switch 1 physical)

Everything else is Switch 1 stuff, I didn’t even download the Switch 2 edition upgrade packs I could get at no extra cost like FF Tactics, BotW and TotK. I’d rather just use the Switch 1 version via backwards compatibility.

Well, if everyone's listing their games, I'm gonna do so too:

Switch 2 games

  • Age of Imprisonment
  • Bravely Default: Flying Fairy
  • Donkey Kong Bananza
  • Cyberpunk 2077
  • Hades II
  • Handy Hockey
  • Rune Factory: Guardians of Azuma
  • Silksong

  • Story of Seasons: Grand Bazaar

Switch 2 editions

  • Breath of the Wild
  • Divinity: Original Sin 2
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  • No Man's Sky
  • Skyrim
  • Tears of the Kingdom

(I'm not gonna list games that merely got a resolution update with no proper S2 edition, like Echoes of Wisdom and Captain Toad.)

Out of all of those, the only games I've actually finished so far are Guardians of Azuma and Hades II. So yeah, it's not like I'm gonna run out of S2 games to play anytime soon. 😅

@Pizzamorg I need to get one of the games, and Live a Live has always been on my radar. I'll add it to my backlog at some point .
@Henmii the prices in Europe sound tough...I wish it wasn't so expensive there.

I'll bit on the sharing of games - not going to go into my upgraded SW1 games, just focus on the games I've bought for SW2:

  • Ball x Pit - it's addicting
  • Mario Kart World (Rolled Credits)
  • Silksong (Rolled Credits)
  • Cyberpunk (Rolled Credits)
  • Hogwarts Legacy
  • Hades 2 (Rolled Credits)
  • Mortal Kombat Legacy Kollection
  • Metroid Prime 4 (Rolled Credits)
  • Split Fiction
  • Street Fighter 6
    Pre-Ordered
  • Final Fantasy 7
  • Resident Evil Generations Pack

Ball X Pit surprised me with how fun it was. I played this game called Siesta Fiesta on 3DS and beat it. Was a brick breaker auto side scroller and downright awesome. I love creative brick breaker games.

Yooka-Replaylee is also fantastic. And Split Fiction. Heck, I own so many NS2 games I already filled a 1TB mSD express (includes updated NS1 games to UHD).

But Fire Emblem Path of Radiance on NSO GameCube app is where it's at for the moment.

@JaxonH I will get to playing that soon...haven't played more than 5 hours of a Fire Emblem game - started 3 houses but fell off it, because I was terrible in combat. Need to give it another chance.
