Want all of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games? It'll cost you at least $1.2k

The long wait is over, friends. The Nintendo Switch 2 is finally here, bringing an exciting library of launch games with it, including the first new Mario Kart game in eight years (technically 11 years, if we count Mario Kart 8 instead of MK8 Deluxe) and huge third-party games like Cyberpunk 2077. All in all, there are 26 games for you to enjoy on the console today, not including the new NSO GameCube collection. That’s great and all, but how much is it going to cost you to own all of the Nintendo Switch 2 launch games? I don’t like math, but in the name of telling you all how much your bank account is going to cry, I’ll do it. Not including upgrades from Switch games to the Switch 2 Editions, it’ll cost you around $1,279.36 / £1,105.30 to own every single Nintendo Switch 2 launch game. I know, the tears are flowing as your accounts beg you, ‘please, don’t do it.’ If, like me, you got the new Mario game as part of a bundle with your console, you can at least knock $79.99 / £66.99 off the total price. But, I have to say, beyond the absurd price for MKW on its own, the price of many of the Switch 2 launch games is quite reasonable. You can grab a rather lovely RPG for $39.99 / £33.99 with Bravely Default: Flying Fairy HD Remaster or get a fantastic co-op game for $49.99 / £44.99 with Split Fiction. Of course, there are still plenty of titles that hit the $69.99 / £59.99 mark, including Cyberpunk 2077, which I’m not ashamed to admit is already in my library.
