Switch 2: Civilization VII – Launch Title Lets You Build Empires with Mouse Mode!
9🎮 I’ve played many of these games already, either at the official Switch 2 Experience in NYC, on PS5, or on Switch 1 and in this Nintendo Switch 2 Launch Guide, I’m walking you through exactly what I’m buying on Day 1 and why it matters. If you’re picking up a Switch 2 or trying to decide what to prioritize, this is the video for you.
📦 Covered in this video:
• All 23 confirmed Switch 2 launch titles + 3 GameCube NSO games
• The full list of games I’ve personally preordered; both physical and digital; that I’ll be covering with mini-reviews after launch
• Personal insights from playing several of these early at the NYC Switch 2 Experience and on PS5 or Switch 1
• Hardware upgrades that enhance older titles: HDR, GameChat, GameShare, Joy-Con Mouse Mode
• My launch day accessories and Micro SD Express storage setup
