The Nintendo Switch is finally launching after a lengthy wait, and fans can't wait for this console to drop. Nintendo's pricing strategies may be the subject of much debate, but that should take nothing away from the quality of the games appearing on this console at launch.

The fact that many state-of-the-art video games are releasing on this console shows just how powerful the hardware is. Hopefully, these launch titles are a promising sign of things to come as the Switch 2 remains ahead in the hardware race for a long time.

A brilliant experimental title that deserved more love when it launched, fans can only hope that Kunitsu-Gami: Path of the Goddess gets the audience it deserves on the Nintendo Switch 2. The game combines action and strategy elements to make for a fun hybrid as players prepare every day to deal with the threat of evil spirits at night.

The tower defense element of this game ensures that players will have a great time setting up tactical chokepoints to punish the Seethe. The combat itself is solid and works well with the strategy side of things to make for a fun combination that fans will love.

Bravely Default is one of the best JRPGs ever made, and fans were incensed that this title hadn't left the 3DS yet. After all, Bravely Default 2 was doing perfectly well on other platforms, so fans didn't understand why the first game didn't receive the same treatment.

This will finally become a thing of the past with the launch of Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster. JRPG fans will love playing this amazing old-school role-playing game on the Switch 2 with its many enhancements, improvements, and content additions.

Fans were glad to see that IO Interactive achieved their vision with their trilogy of Hitman games. It did a great job of bringing Agent 47 to the new generation with expansive levels, immersive stealth gameplay, and fun missions that let players take out their targets in wacky and creative ways.

The World of Assassination Trilogy is Hitman at its very best, and fans will love playing this masterful stealth title on the Nintendo Switch 2. The episodic release structure ensured that IO could take their time with every level, which was ultimately a good decision since players could enjoy some of the greatest video game levels ever made in each Hitman game.

Split Fiction is another knockout co-op game from Hazelight Studios, which manages to wow players with its gameplay and visuals, even if the story is dreadfully boring. Players explore generic sci-fi and fantasy worlds where they must engage in a wealth of co-op challenges after the duo is trapped by a megalomaniac CEO who wants to suck out all their ideas for profit.

Just like It Takes Two, the co-op gameplay in Split Fiction is full of creative ideas that never overstay their welcome. The fact that fans will be able to check out this game on a console that promotes couch co-op is great news for future Nintendo Switch 2 owners.

Street Fighter 6 was a major hit from the very moment it launched, with the World Tour mode being in a class of its own. Players love the idea of the patented Street Fighter gameplay in an open-world setting, which is handled surprisingly well.

Nintendo Switch 2 owners will love playing this game on the go, getting a few victories under their belt whenever they have the time to spare. The numerous game modes, coupled with the excellent fighting gameplay, ensure that fans will have a great time playing Street Fighter 6.

Most people consider Yakuza 0 to be the best game in the series, which is why it's so fitting for an entry point into this magical genre. Kiryu and Majima's origin stories are a treat to witness as the two legendary Yakuza earn their titles of being the Dragon of Dojima and the Mad Dog of Shimano, respectively.

Nintendo Switch owners who missed out on this masterpiece can check out the very best version of Yakuza 0, which is bound to leave them entertained for hours on end. The quirky side content and ultra-serious main story shouldn't work together, but RGG Studio makes it all stick and lets players enjoy a Yakuza game for the ages.

It's amazing that gaming hardware has progressed so much that the idea of playing Cyberpunk 2077 on a portable console is more than viable. V's adventures will be great on the handheld as players embark on a thrilling quest to help the protagonist regain control of their body after a botched heist.

Night City is one of the most beautiful open-world environments fans can get lost in. The city is packed with things to do and friends to make, with V having the opportunity to purchase amazing vehicles and buy apartments to enjoy a life of luxury in a city where greed and power triumph over everything else.

Mario Kart World's pricing may not sit right with many players, but there's no denying that this title is shaping up to be something special. An open-world Mario Kart may seem like an obvious pitch, but it's clear that Nintendo is going to go all-out with this concept.

This has positioned Mario Kart World to become arguably the best racing video game ever made if it sticks the landing. The game's pricing may sting, but the quality is definitely going to be off the charts if Nintendo's previous track record is to be believed.
