It can be a daunting task, selecting the first few games for your brand new console, but worry not. We’ve compiled a list of some of the best exclusive games on the Nintendo Switch that are not only great games on the console but are some of the highest-rated games of all time. From action-adventure titles to racing games, the Nintendo Switch is a console that screams fun. So, read on and check out our list of the top exclusives for the Nintendo Switch.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is probably one of the greatest open-world games ever. Nintendo spent 7 long years developing the game which is why it is so highly rated with both critics and fans. You start the game with pretty much nothing and over the course of the first half of the game, you’ll start getting stronger as you solve puzzles, fight monsters and open up the map. The game doesn’t function as a linear experience, instead, it asks the player to play the game the way he or she wants. If you’re looking for an action-adventure title that’ll grab your attention for hours on end, then The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a must-buy game.
Super Mario Odyssey
Mario is probably the most famous videogame mascot in the world. Anyone who has touched a game console knows the character. So, if you’re looking for exclusive games for your Nintendo Switch, you can’t go wrong with the critically acclaimed Super Mario Odyssey. Join Mario and his trusty sidekick, Cappy as they journey through magical worlds and even possess a few denizens of said worlds. The platforming is crisp and tight as the gameplay is smooth and responsive, as you’d expect from a high-profile Mario title. Obviously, people don’t play these games for their stories so if you like games that feature an iconic character with tight and responsive controls, check out Super Mario Odyssey for the Nintendo Switch.
