There are a lot of things that the Nintendo Switch gets right. Whether you have the basic model, the OLED version or the Lite version, the platform’s USPs remain strong. You get a hybrid gaming experience. Slip it into the TV dock, and you have a full-fledged console ready in your living room. Take it out, and it's a handy portable gaming device that you can take anywhere as easily as a tablet. You can also get a wide range of accessories to customise the console’s look and feel or even enhance your gaming sessions to the next level. Read on if you’ve got a new Nintendo Switch and are looking for some of the best titles to play on it. We’ve curated some of the best Nintendo Switch titles available on Amazon for you below.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Offering what many have hailed as one of the best open-world gaming experiences of our generation, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is a Switch game that is almost as popular as the console itself. The game throws you into the wide-open world of Hyrule soon after it begins. There are mysterious landmarks, complex hidden puzzles, and enemy camps to raid for treasure and weapons. Its attention to detail shows in everything you encounter – down to the logic behind various in-game objects reacting to forces like fire and magnetism. If you’re a completionist, this title can give you about 188 hours worth of gaming.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
The portability and affordability of the Switch make it a great multiplayer device, and Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is a game that suits that purpose well. You can pick from 48 great courses and a wide range of 42 characters, including all-new characters. With every character, course and class available right from the beginning, you can straightaway jump into the action. The new 200cc class delivers even faster racing gameplay. There is a new Smart Steering feature that is ideal for novice users as it helps keep your Kart on track. You can play this one with even four players on a single Switch for a fun couch co-op session.
Pokemon: Shield
Updating the classic Pokemon game for the modern console, Pokemon: Shield offers an RPG experience that can feel great for fans of the franchise. Taking place in a new region called Galar, which seems to be based on the United Kingdom, the game makes the most of the Switch’s capabilities. Bigger Pokemon now look their size, and there’s an all-new Dynamax feature where you can turn them into gigantic versions during battles for a limited time. There’s also a wild area that you can visit to capture wild Pokemon of various levels depending on your abilities. The world is designed with more attention to detail for an engrossing gameplay experience.
Animal Crossing New Horizons
As a popular social simulation game, Animal Crossing: New Horizons might deliver a slow start, but that builds up into a highly detailed island world in no time. Once you get past the initial grind, you get access to things like terraforming tools that shape the island as you see fit. The game also gives you the ability to place the items you craft outdoors, opening up the possibility of highly detailed customisations. You gain residents by inviting them to your island – up to ten of them for the available residential plots. The overall objective is to get a five-star island evaluation rating and have fun along the way.
