With more than seven years’ worth of games to pick from, there’s never been a better time to delve into the best Nintendo Switch games. The line-up of games for Nintendo’s handheld home console hybrid is arguably the strongest it’s ever been, because in case you didn’t notice, the Switch continued to flourish last year. Not only did we get a brand new 2D Mario platformer, the fourth mainline Pikmin game, and another new Fire Emblem to add to the pile, but also another all-time Zelda game, too.
That’s before you start including all the countless indie games and third party launches out there as well, and of course, the Switch’s huge back catalogue – many of which have graced previous iterations of our best games on Nintendo Switch list over the last couple of years. This is immensely exciting for anyone who has just picked up the console for the first time, so to help give you a steer on which games you should be picking up first, here are all of the best Switch games you must absolutely play right now, in no particular order.
Surpassing 2017’s Breath of the Wild was always going to be a monumental task for Nintendo, as many consider it to be not only the best Zelda game, but one of the best games of all time. But those geniuses actually went and did it. Tears of the Kingdom very much follows the same formula as its predecessor: a vast open-world holding secrets and mysteries galore, with utterly gorgeous landscapes, charming characters, and tough bosses.
