Nintendo Switch 2 is now six months old, and I suspect the number of owners has just shot up with many kids (and, of course, big kids) unwrapping a shiny new Switch 2 over the holidays.

I’ve had my trusty Switch 2 since launch, and have already played (and mostly enjoyed) more than a dozen Nintendo Switch 2 games over the past several months. From the flagship Nintendo exclusives like Mario Kart World and Donkey Bananza, to impressive blockbuster ports including Cyberpunk 2077: Ultimate Edition and Star Wars Outlaws.

If you’re a brand new Switch 2 owner, you might be weighing up which games to spend your leftover holiday money on, and that’s where I can help out. Below, I’ve put together a list (presented in no particular order) of the Nintendo Switch 2 games you should play first on your console.

Apple also announced at WWDC that iOS 18 updates your iPhone’s Control Center. With the operating system, you can access more controls for things, like whatever music you’re listening to and specific apps. You can also change which apps you see, as well as their size, so you have quicker access to the buttons you use more often.

And third-party apps are tailoring their apps for the new Control Center as well. For example, you can add an Instagram control to your Control Center so you can easily access the social media app. Other third-party apps will likely follow suit.
