Feature Best Nintendo Switch Couch Co-Op Games
Teamwork makes the dream work
While there's a great many different types of gaming experiences available on Switch, the chances are that couch co-op games were a big part of the reason you bought Nintendo's hybrid console. After all, Nintendo is the bonafide master of local co-op games, and the Switch is tailor-made for those experiences thanks to...

Our round-up of the best RPGs on the console
At launch, Switch started with a steady sprinkle of decent releases, whether new games or ports from other platforms, but in the months that followed the software snowballed and now you can't move for quality titles across almost every category. The RPG genre is no exception. This selection of the...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch Games
As voted by you lovely people
In a little over two years Switch has amassed a huge amount of software - more than any Nintendo fan dared to dream after the slim pickings of the Wii U generation. Of course, this abundance of riches leaves us in something of a pickle - too much software, not enough time to play it all. In fairness, it's a very nice...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch Shmups
Shoot 'em up, all of 'em
The humble shoot ‘em up has been a staple genre ever since the very beginning of video games when Spacewar! laid down the basic groundwork in 1962. No, that is not a typo; in the year that Marilyn Monroe died and The Beatles recorded their first single ‘Love Me Do’, some boffins at MIT were busy inventing video games...
Feature Games To Play After You've Finished Zelda: Breath of the Wild
Attack of the (Zelda) Clones
It’s been over two years since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild launched and we first ventured out onto the great plains of a truly open Hyrule. In that time, we’ve found all the shrines, defeated Calamity Ganon and scoured the kingdom for every last item and Korok seed. We’ve seen it all – and we went...

Feature Best Nintendo Switch Racing Games
Updated with Crash Team Racing
While the Nintendo Switch may lack the raw processing grunt of the Xbox One and PS4, fans of the racing genre are still well served on the hybrid console, with a steadily growing catalogue of fantastic racers. It may lack the killer driving simulators from rival consoles, but there are plenty of arcade thrills and...

Games you can only play on Nintendo Switch
Switch has become home to a great many games in a relatively short space of time. A great deal of them have appeared on other platforms, whether celebrated indie games or huge AAA releases getting a second wind on Nintendo's handheld hybrid. However, the console is also home to a clutch of brilliant...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch Metroidvania Games
Or 'Castloid', if you prefer
The word 'Metroidvania' might rub some gamers the wrong way, but it's a useful catch-all term to describe a very specific type of game experience. Combining elements from both the Metroid and late '90s Castlevania series, this broad platforming genre has you using an ever-growing skill set to open up new paths across an...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch Horror Games
Pack a spare pair of underpants
Look out behind you! Sorry – we must have seen a ghost. We'd blame this skittishness on playing too many scary games on our Switch, because like everyone else, we love being terrified. If you're the same, then you may well be wondering which are the best titles to load up on your console when you're in the house...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch Fighting Games
Make war, not love
It's ironic that one of the most violent video game genres is also one which has pulled millions of people together; ever since the early days of Fatal Fury and Street Fighter II, the humble 'fighting game' genre has created (and arguably ended) countless friendships. This style of game that is perfect for social multiplayer...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch Puzzle Games
Piecing it together
From the very beginning, Nintendo handhelds have been a powerhouse in the puzzle genre, championing games that might have been lost in the bombastic, graphics-obsessed arena of home consoles. Switch’s bridging of the portable/home console divide means it can uphold that proud puzzling tradition while also giving on-the-go...

Feature Best Nintendo Switch Online Multiplayer Games
The best online games available for Switch right now
Nintendo Switch is the perfect console for local multiplayer - simply crack off those Joy-Con and start having fun with whoever happens to be in the room with you. However, the console has built up a solid portfolio of online multiplayer games since launch, too, and we've picked out a handful - in...
Feature Hidden Gems You Might Have Missed On The Switch eShop
These winners may make slipped your notice
The term ‘hidden gem’ gets bandied around a lot when talking about video games, and often erroneously. Of course, sometimes the game in question truly went unnoticed and unloved by the masses and is worth digging up, but more often than not the game either isn’t actually 'hidden' (an occasionally...

Feature Best Nintendo Switch 3D Platformers
Workin' the Z-axis
Ah, the 3D platformer. Ever since Super Mario 64 landed and showed everyone just how good three-dimensional platforming could be, there have been developers hoping to capture just a smidgen of that game’s magic. It was a tough act to follow, even for the plumber himself, but his latest outing on Switch has him at the very top of...
Feature Best Nintendo Switch 2D Platformers
Jump around
With so many excellent platformers available on Switch, picking something out from the overwhelming selection can be hard. The platforming genre has a very strong pedigree on Nintendo systems going all the way back to the original Super Mario Bros. on NES. Over the years that followed other developers mastered the grammar laid down in...
