Finally, after months of speculation, we know what the Nintendo Switch 2 looks like.
The news felt rather underwhelming, truth be told, thanks to the countless leaks that had somewhat spoilt the surprise.
Still, now that we know what the Nintendo Switch 2 looks like, and when its showcase will take place, speculation can turn to other aspects of the console.
Chiefly, the titles that’ll launch on it.

We all know that a new Mario Kart is coming, as this was shown during the short but sweet Nintendo reveal.

However, it’s highly unlikely this will be the only Switch 2 specific game available, and thus fans are already predicting what else might be announced.
On r/GamingLeaksAndRumours, user hushpolocaps69 has created a long list of titles they think could be available upon launch, or soon after.
As the OP themself highlights, everything discussed should be taken with a pinch of salt as Nintendo has neither confirmed or denied the titles listed.
Among those detailed is Fallout 4, Metaphor: ReFantazio, and “most of Ubisoft’s library”.
Imagine if this lineup comes to pass? We’d never need another console again.
While the gaming community can only add more speculation into the mix with no definitive answers, that isn’t stopping them daydreaming about potential releases.
One of the most requested, as you’d expect, is The Legend of Zelda: The Wind Waker.
“Give me Twilight Princess HD and Wind Waker HD I’ve waited long enough and i don’t want to pull my Wii U back out,” pleaded SlyCooper007. “It’s getting ridiculous that those games are still locked on such an outdated console.”
Other fans are using previous insider information to better predict what might be released.
“Even without any rumours or leaks, a new 3D Mario game has to be coming for the Switch 2's first year [...] If Mario Kart is the big launch game, I have to imagine 3D Mario is the big holiday game,” theorised LadPrime.
The Switch 2 has many games it can cherry pick from, as detailed by the Nintendo community.
But it remains to be seen whether the console will launch with such a stacked selection; we can but hope it does.
