[Let’s Talk] Which Nintendo Switch games have you tried on Switch 2?
Posted on 2 months ago by Brian(@NE_Brian) in Let's Talk | 0 comments
Nintendo Switch 2 launched last week with a bunch of games, but one of the system’s big selling points is its backwards compatibility. Almost every game released on the previous console is supported. Nintendo has even come out with a few free updates that offer bonuses like improved frame rate, enhanced resolution, and more. We’ve also seen Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom with new editions. But that’s not all, as many Nintendo Switch 1 titles automatically run better on Switch 2 – at least ones that had uncapped frame rates and dynamic resolution.
So while you’ve probably been playing a lot of Mario Kart World, have you tried out any specific Nintendo Switch games on Switch 2? Which titles have impressed you? Let us know in the comments.

Totaka’s Song, which has been an Easter egg in Nintendo games going back decades, has been found in Mario Kart World.
The Easter egg originally snuck in by Nintendo sound designer Kazumi Totaka. The melody first appeared in the Game Boy game melody way back in 1990, but has since appeared in more recent titles like Animal Crossing: Happy Home Designer (plus other entries in the series) and Mario Kart 8. Now it’s here in Mario Kart World as well.

Nintendo and Amazon end their feud, first-party Switch 2 games and more now available

After another long standoff between Nintendo and Amazon, the two sides are finally working together once again.
For whatever reason, over the past year or so, it has been impossible to purchase anything sold directly by Nintendo – at least if you’re in the United States. That means the Nintendo Switch 2 console itself, recently-released and upcoming titles like Mario Kart World and Donkey Kong Bananza, and even new amiibo were unavailable on Amazon. Neither side commented on the situation, leaving fans to wonder why they could purchase or pre-order many of Nintendo’s products.

Nintendo Switch 2 has an important HDR setting many don’t know about

HDR is new for Nintendo on Switch 2, but there’s an important setting tucked away in the system settings that you should know about.
If you’ve connected your console to a TV at all and it’s compatible with HDR, you’ve probably already gone through the setup process. But you’ll want to head on over to the settings and then visit the “Display” tab. After that, head all the way down and select the “Adjust HDR” option.
