The Switch 2 will see a bunch of third-party ports and Nintendo's own games when it launches in June, but here are the gaps we want to see filled in the coming monthsTech22:00, 15 Apr 2025You will need to act fast to get a Switch 2(Image: Nintendo)Nintendo’s April 2 Switch 2 Direct gave us a whole host of information, but not as much as getting to go hands-on with the console last week.We've played the launch games, seen the Switch 2 versions of Zelda and more, and even tested those slick new mouse controls, meaning June can't come soon enough (51 days to go, in case you're wondering).‌Article continues belowThere's perhaps never been a stronger launch window lineup, either, particularly if you've not played the likes of Elden Ring, Hitman, Civilization 7, Street Fighter and more.Still, there are a handful of games we're hoping get announced for Switch 2 – here are our picks for our most-wanted Switch 2 ports.To set some expectations, we're avoiding Switch 1 games here. For example, we'd love to see how The Witcher 3 runs on Switch 2, but we're trying to keep this to games that haven't yet made it to Switch in any way just yet.‌The Bloodline headline this year's Showcase(Image: 2K)OK, it's not one title to kick off this list, but sports titles were the Switch 1's Achilles heel. EA FC appeared on the platform, but missing huge features and entire modes, while NBA 2K slowly got less and less attention.Then there's the complete lack of Madden and WWE titles, both of which have been promised in the initial Switch 2 reveal from EA and 2K respectively.‌If we end up getting EA FC Ultimate Team and WWE 2K's creation suites on a handheld console, we may never put our Switch 2's down.Diablo 4 is still a game we return to oftenDiablo 4 remains an obsession for this writer, but I'm playing it more and more on my Steam Deck OLED rather than my powerful gaming PC or the PS5 Pro.‌It's so playable in handheld mode that it feels almost as if that's the best way to play it, and given Diablo 3 was perfect on the first Switch, it's surely just a matter of time.Given how Path of Exile 2 is similarly fantastic while played portable, we're ready for the ARPGs to do battle again – on Switch 2.‌Nintendo Switch 2 pre-orders are now open at most UK online stores(Image: AFP via Getty Images)Another game that feels so at home on Steam Deck it feels like a no-brainer for Switch 2, the challenge for Midnight Suns making the jump is likely to be its tepid sales despite a strong critical reception.It was originally planned for Switch 1, but the port was cancelled.‌Wilds' areas are massive(Image: Capcom)Look, we're not saying it'll be 2025's Monster Hunter Wilds. In fact, the fact that the game struggles on PC means it's probably not going to be on Switch 2 ever.Still, Monster Hunter is a franchise that's spent much of its history on portable systems from 3DS to PSP, and given how good Monster Hunter Rise was on Switch 1, we're holding out hope that Capcom has something planned.‌And hey, if not, at least we're getting Wild Hearts S – a game that deserves another look.Death Stranding has been around since 2019, and a sequel is on the way(Image: Kojima Productions)Look, we know it's a long shot, but Death Stranding on Steam Deck is great and now that we're a few years removed from the game's divisive launch, it's well worth another look.‌While it does feature plenty of action, it's also meditative a lot of the time, as you wander through a desolate but beautiful world to bring society back from the brink of collapse.The first Halo title is Combat Evolved, which saw an Xbox 360 remaster(Image: Microsoft)The idea of Halo appearing on any system that doesn't have an 'X' in the name would have felt like heresy a few years ago, but Microsoft is pushing its games to other platforms and seemingly making a lot of money doing it.‌Whether Switch 2 will run 2021's Halo Infinite as well as a high-end PC or your Series X remains to be seen, but we can see it being a cracking place to catch up on the earlier games.Halo 2 on the bus? Count us in.We're always keen to play Mass Effect again‌Three of the best RPGs of the last few decades? Sign us up. Switch 2 would be a great place to play the original Mass Effect trilogy, especially since the Legendary Edition packs in all the DLC, too.And sure, Andromeda isn't on the same level, but we maintain there's plenty of fun to be had there, too.Metaphor: ReFantazio is just as good as Persona(Image: Atlas/Sega)Article continues belowOne of 2024's best games, Metaphor: ReFantazio feels like a perfect Switch 2 title for those cosy afternoons on the couch while the rain falls outside.A turn-based RPG from the minds behind Persona 3, 4, and 5, it's perfectly playable in chunks so you can enjoy it at your own pace, and never made it to Switch 1.For the latest breaking news and stories from across the globe from the Daily Star, sign up for our newsletters.‌‌‌
