After a long wait filled with leaks, reveals, preorder stress, and hands-on events, the Nintendo Switch 2’s launch day has finally arrived around the world, including launch events at retailers like Walmart, GameStop, Best Buy, and Target.

Nintendo’s next console looks like a worthy successor to the original Switch, and it has a lot of games to play on day one, including the new Mario Kart World and upgrades to The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. The Switch 2 also has new software features like the Discord-like GameChat, which could make it easier to trash-talk your friends. There are new accessories, too, including an improved Pro Controller.

Now that the Switch 2 is finally getting into people’s hands (if you don’t have a preorder secured, we have some advice on where to look on day one), we can all dive into what it’s like to actually have the console in our homes and in our bags. And, of course, there will be lots of games to play.
