The Nintendo Switch 2 is a little beast – and with a price rise coming at the start of September, right now it remains a total steal compared to any new PlayStation 5 or Xbox Series X/S console you could care to buy. If you're a big fan of RPGs, you might not realise that the Switch 2 has almost immediately become a powerhouse for the genre. Thanks to total backwards-compatibility with original Switch software, it already has hundreds of games to explore, but this summer has also been absolutely massive for native Switch 2 RPGs. So, if you're looking to pick up a massive game that offers up dozens and dozens of hours of playtime, the Switch 2 is a perfect console at the moment. If you want to see the roots of a modern-day mega-franchise, this is a great place to start on your Switch 2.
