The Must-Play Games Of Nintendo Switch
Just got yourself a new Switch and staring at a wall of titles you've never played? This is where to start.
Did you just get yourself a new Nintendo Switch? Are you excited about testing out a whole new array of video games you haven't played before? And are you a little unaware of just how lengthy the list of games on this device really is?
If the answer is yes, then you've come to the right place — because we're about to share a list of some of the best, most interesting and most enthralling games you can play on your Nintendo Switch. What follows is our rundown of the must-play titles that should get you started.
The Legend Of Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
Perhaps the most intriguing and highly anticipated game on the Switch is this one. Zelda, as we all know, is extremely popular among Nintendo fans, and this instalment does not fail to impress in the slightest. Everything about it is breath-taking, and every hour gives you another reason to fall completely in love with it. It is the best game to play on your Switch, and that is exactly why it sits at number one on our list.
Super Mario Odyssey
The second game on our list is unarguably Super Mario Odyssey, built around the wildly popular Super Mario character who created so many of our childhood memories. This entry is a wonderful addition to the series and delivers a genuinely great gaming experience for its players. You should pick it up as soon as you possibly can.
Celeste
If you're a fan of 2D games, then Celeste is for you. It's an exciting title that brings simplicity and entertainment together, which is exactly what makes it a must-have on the Switch. At its heart it's about finding your way through a series of levels as you climb a mountain — and the closer you get to the summit, the harder the challenges become.
Bayonetta 2
Another classic, packed with action and thrill. This game was originally made for the Wii U but has now arrived on the Switch as well, with pretty much the same graphics and gameplay intact. Bayonetta 2 is a superb hack-and-slash adventure that absolutely deserves a place in your Switch collection.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
If you're after something incredibly fun, with tremendous gameplay and an addictive streak, then Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a huge improvement in every respect. The game boasts around forty-eight courses and forty-two characters to choose from. The tracks are new, adventurous and like never before — this one is for every gamer there is.
Sonic Mania
There haven't been many successful spin-offs or 3D versions on Nintendo so far — yet Sonic Mania trumps that trend to become a genuine super-hit among fans. This reimagining of the original 16-bit 2D classic is one to cherish: it stays faithful to what made the original great while still delivering something fresh and unique for players to enjoy.
Fast RMX
There aren't as many high-speed racing games on the Switch as we'd like, but there's one that truly stands out — and that's Fast RMX. This is exactly what the Switch needed, and it's probably the best high-speed racer on the console right now. Attractive graphics and genuinely exciting race tracks combine to make a great racing game.
Doom
Doom is a famously violent game on other platforms and consoles — however, the Switch port keeps the game's trademark action while running surprisingly well on a handheld. It has been widely welcomed by Nintendo gamers, and that's precisely why it earns a spot on our list of the best Switch games.
There are several other popular games on the Nintendo Switch, but due to obvious constraints we've kept our list limited to the ones mentioned above.
If you've just bought a Nintendo Switch and you're on the lookout for some crazy-good games to play on it, then you should definitely have these on your list next time you go shopping for your favourites. Hope you love these games as much as we do!
