To fully appreciate the Nintendo Switch 2 upon launch, you’ll want a cozy spot to relax, be it a couch, bed, or sunny hammock, along with comfortable attire and an array of terrific games.

After much anticipation spanning over many years, the long-awaited Nintendo Switch 2 is now available! It’s brimming with thrilling games, making it an ideal companion for either a comfortable night-in with your latest gaming device, or for adventures away from home. Its portable design and superior specifications make it a fantastic choice.

For ultimate comfort, nothing beats the charm of cotton! In partnership with Cotton, we’re thrilled to share our top choices for the most eagerly awaited games on the freshly launched Switch 2.

Why not slip into your favorite soft cotton tee, a snuggly blanket, or some comfortable loungewear (feel free to layer up for maximum comfort), and then dive into the most eagerly awaited games available on your portable gaming device!

Mario Kart World

On Nintendo consoles, Mario Kart is a classic game, but if we transform it into an open-world adventure with stunning graphics, thanks to the next generation of Switch, we have Mario Kart World – an extraordinary driving game. In this game, racing is just one of many options, but fun is virtually assured (except for those who struggle to handle the karts).

In this game, you have the freedom to choose from a variety of beloved, charming characters, cruise around with your pals, or focus on gathering various collectibles such as Yoshi’s meals to unlock new appearances. Regardless of your choice, Mario Kart no longer has to be the high-stress, potentially friendship-ending game it once was. It can now be tailored to your preferences, while still maintaining the nostalgic feel of the classic Mario Kart you’re familiar with.

Hollow Knight: Silksong

Although it might not have the same level of comfort as cotton, silk remains quite appealing, particularly in relation to Hollow Knight: Silksong – a game that is eagerly awaited by many, potentially ranking among the most anticipated titles for both the Switch 2 and any other platform it decides to launch on.

Hollow Knight: Silksong is a game in the Metroidvania genre, developed by Team Cherry, who also created the critically acclaimed Hollow Knight from 2017. The original game was incredibly popular, with millions of players eagerly awaiting the sequel. Although Team Cherry hasn’t shared much about the release date, we know it’s coming to the Nintendo Switch 2, and we can hardly contain our excitement!

Donkey Kong Bananza

Donkey Kong Bonanza is a brand new entry in the series exclusive to Switch 2.

There’s nothing more reminiscent of Nintendo than the character Donkey Kong, and after an eleven-year hiatus, a new mainline game featuring him is on its way. In Donkey Kong Bananza, our beloved ape sets out to retrieve stolen banana-shaped diamonds from a band of mischievous monkeys.

This platform game is visually appealing and offers the same mix of destructive escapades and cautious scaling that made Donkey Kong games iconic. When it launches in July 2025, countless gamers will don their most comfortable attire, prepare themselves, and dive into an evening filled with barrel-smashing and cliff-climbing adventures.

Metroid Prime 4: Beyond

As a long-time fan, I can’t contain my excitement when I heard about Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, slated for the Switch 2. It’s been over 17 years since we had a main Metroid game, so this announcement has ignited a wave of anticipation among us. This action-adventure game hails from one of gaming history’s most revered franchises, and it promises to live up to its legendary status with an epic experience that exceeds expectations.

Experience the role of Samus Aran, a renowned galactic bounty hunter, in Metroid Prime 4: Beyond. Journey through mysterious jungles filled with ancient secrets, unravel the mystery of your homeward journey. Along the way, solve intriguing puzzles, engage in pulse-pounding battles, and immerse yourself in a captivating narrative that promises an adventure you won’t want to miss.

Pokemon Legends: Z-A

It’s hard to imagine a fresh console launch without a brand-new Pokémon game, and Pokémon Legends: Z-A seems like it will stand out among them all. Featuring breathtaking new visuals, countless lovable Pokémon, an enchanting new setting, and the significant shift from traditional turn-based battles to real-time action,

If you’re aiming for a relaxed and comfortable setting, perhaps snuggled under a soft cotton blanket or in your preferred cotton pajamas, Pokemon Legends: Z-A could be the perfect game companion. After all, isn’t there something comfortingly charming about wandering around Lumiose City with your delightful pocket monsters?
