Top 25 Best Nintendo Switch Games
With the potential arrival of a Nintendo Switch 2 on the horizon, the Nintendo Switch already boasts an amazing lineup of games. Though only 25 slots are available, there are numerous recent games that didn’t quite make the cut but are still awesome in their own right. Here are our picks for the best 25 Nintendo Switch games:
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad, weighed down by a huge backpack, embarks on whimsical adventures navigating diorama-like puzzle boxes in search of treasure. Each level is bursting with detail, secret corners, and clever mechanisms waiting to be discovered by patient players. A delightful game reminiscent of Nintendo’s nostalgic days, Captain Toad offers tactile puzzles that require rotation, poking, and thorough exploration for secrets to be revealed. With 18 new levels and co-op multiplayer, this game is a must-play on the Switch.
Fire Emblem: Three Houses
Fire Emblem: Three Houses enhances the series’ iconic tactical combat with UI improvements, reintroduces the Tactical weapon triangle, and features the engage mechanic, allowing units to fuse with legendary heroes from previous Fire Emblem games. This entry in the 30-year-old franchise is both engaging and accessible to newcomers.
Slay the Spire
Slay the Spire offers a blend of strategy and randomness that makes it endlessly replayable. Crafting the perfect combo of synergistic cards is immensely satisfying, but overcoming odds stacked against you is equally rewarding. This game’s mobile platform availability on the Switch, with touch control options, adds to its appeal and replay value.
Stardew Valley
Stardew Valley is a captivating open-ended farming simulation game where players shape their own country path through activities like fishing, fighting, farming, and relationships. The game’s availability on the Switch, with the added advantage of sleep mode, offers a relaxing gameplay experience, despite a few minor bugs in the port.
These games showcase the diversity and excellence of the Nintendo Switch library, providing endless hours of entertainment for players of all preferences and ages.
