The third in Roll7’s series of arty, lo-fi skateboard games follows the typical trajectory of a videogame series: everything is bigger, longer, deeper. It’s part myth, part dream, all wrapped up in an occasionally psychedelic sci-fi action game heavily indebted to the aesthetics of the ‘80s and early ‘90s.- Garrett Martin Long Hat House’s first game might play fast and loose with history-its hero, Dandara, is a real-life figure from Brazilian history-but its Metroid-style design and unique approach to motion make it compulsively playable. It might feel a little slight-something that might be rectified by upcoming updates-but for the first big new Nintendo idea on the Switch, Arms is a hit.- Garrett Martin It makes better use of the Joy-Con’s motion controls than any other Switch game, to boot. And yet it’s pretty much exactly what you’d expect from a Nintendo fighting game: it’s cute, charming, relentlessly upbeat, and relatively simple to understand but almost torturously difficult to truly excel at. The central conceit of Arms is ineffably bizarre-one day people suddenly have springs for arms, so they start to punch each other a lot. It’s my favorite Dragon Ball anything.- Holly Green Given how Dragon Ball FighterZ amps up the drama on existing Dragon Ball storylines, increases engagement by allowing the player to take dialogue sequences at their own pace, and puts a polished, beautiful spin on the old cartoon, this isn’t just my favorite Dragon Ball game. The production values are better, and the narrative tension is vastly improved. It’s an anthology of mini adventures that span the length and breadth of the genre’s own history.- Andy Mooreĭragon Ball FighterZ is both the fighting game and Dragon Ball spin-off I never realized I always wanted. You’d be forgiven for thinking Octopath Traveler was much like the titles that came before it, telling a singular focused story of adventure, when the reality is that the game offers up a collection of tales. The characters are all likeable and grounded in the world around them, and each story stays within its own lane and manages to tell a much more personal tale rather than one of some grand world-spanning intrigue. Octopath Traveler’s choice to break away from the norm and explore an open world JRPG hybrid was a bold move, and while it doesn’t quite come through the other end unscathed, the game does do a great job at keeping you engaged. A lot of co-op games barely require you to acknowledge your partner, but Snipperclips practically forces you to talk through each scenario, like you’re working together on a jigsaw puzzle or at an “escape the room” style event.- Garrett Martin That might mean perfectly filling an outline on the screen, or snipping one character into a point that they can use to pop a balloon, or even just balancing a basketball or pencil as you carry it from one edge to the other. You can rotate and tilt them freely into the necessary positions, and even use them to cut each other into different shapes in order to accomplish whatever goals are before you. Snipperclips is an adorable puzzle game that focuses on partnership and cooperation, as you and a friend control two papercraft buddies who are trying to arrange themselves in specific shapes or perform certain actions in order to move on to the next screen. Here are the 40 games you most need to play for the Nintendo Switch. If you need help cutting through the clutter, let us point you towards the best of the best.

The Switch’s digital eShop is full of games that you can download, and the Switch racks at most retailers easily outnumber the Wii U’s at its peak. With success comes support, and the Switch has consistently seen far more support from other companies than the Wii U ever saw after its launch. With a constant stream of great software, and the addition of an OLED screen, there’s a lot of juice left in the Switch.Įverybody with a Switch knows about Animal Crossing and Super Mario Odyssey, but there are many great games for the system beyond Nintendo’s core classics. Like, Disco Elysium, one of our favorites of 2019, and, if anything, a game we actually underrated at the time, has found what might be its ideal home on the Switch. And not only does Nintendo continue to pump out some of the best games for its own console, but the Switch has become home to some of the best multiplatform games released over the last few years. Instead of a redux of Breath of the Wild, it seems to take the series into some fascinating new territory-which is typically the mark of a great Zelda. Expect another huge bump for the old gal with this month’s release of the latest Zelda game, Tears of the Kingdom.
The Switch might have just celebrated its sixth birthday, but Nintendo’s little box is still thriving.
