Switch 2 has been out for over a year now, and a good percentage of Nintendo Lifers have picked one up in the last 365 days.

However, it's also quite possible you haven't jumped on Nintendo's latest console just yet. With Switch 1's colossal library, not to mention the great games on other consoles (we're reliably informed they do exist), what's the rush?

Still, with belts tightening around the globe, a price increase incoming in September, and a Zelda: Ocarina of Time remake confirmed for later this year, many will be eyeing opportunities to pick up a Switch 2 over summer, before it costs you even more.

With that in mind, we've asked NL staff for their opinions on the absolute essentials - the Switch 2 games and accessories they deem necessary to getting the very best from the system.
