Believe it or not, yesterday I finally got my hands on a brand new Nintendo Switch 2. Yes mine came with Mario Kart World. I finally upgraded after owning my OG Switch for almost 8 years.
First thing I did was link my Nintendo account to my Switch 2. After initial setup, I downloaded the Animal Crossing: New Horizons Island Transfer Tool in order to safely transfer my 5+ year old island Vanifolia from my Switch 1 to the new console. Afterwards I fired up Animal Crossing: New Horizons and my island appeared exactly how I last played it on my old Switch 1 console.
Afterwards I utilized the system transfer tool to safely transfer my Nintendo Switch save data to the new console. The transfer took only about 10-20 minutes because most of my Switch games are physical.
Next in line was redownloading all my digital purchases: Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Super Mario Galaxy, Super Mario Galaxy 2, as well as any DLC(s) I own. I saved Mario Kart World for last because I was currently focused on playing Super Mario Galaxy. Let me tell you something, downloads are faster here than on Switch 1.
I like the new Joy-Con 2's. Although I am currently using the Switch Pro Controller which has connectivity to Switch 2, much to my surprise.
I actually played Mario Kart World, and I really like it so far! It'll take time for me to get used to the new mechanics such as rail-riding. I have mostly been playing Free-Roam mode. I hope we can race or free-roam with each other one day.
On the subject of Switch 2 games... which games will I get next, you ask? I have yet to get my hands on Donkey Kong Bananza. Games I already own such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Super Mario Bros. Wonder are getting exclusive DLC/updates next year. Some Switch 1 games I have yet to play include Donkey Kong Country Returns HD, Princess Peach: Showtime!, and Mario & Luigi: Brothership. As for third-party titles that are on Switch/2, I'd rather play them on PC, XBOX Series S or PlayStation 5, depending on my tastes.
As of writing this I am currently playing Super Mario Galaxy. I am really looking forward to more Nintendo Switch 2 news and updates in the near future.
