It’s time for another question block version of our weekly NVC column. This week we’re going to answer a question that looks easy, but it’s actually not.Shane Dowley wrote to us nvc@ign.com Then I asked the following question.
“What are the top 5 must-have games for new Switch buyers to buy?”
First, I answered this on this week’s episode of NVC, but now it’s a bit more formal. In the same way that Wheel of Fortune automatically gives the player his R, S, T, L, N, E for free on the final round, we answer this question with the most common game as a give-in. Has: The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Super Mario Odyssey. The rest of the picks are below.

Assuming you have other devices to play multi-platform games on, nevertheless it’s clear that if you’re already good on Switch (like Hollow Knight or Celeste), you’re going to want Switch-exclusive games. is. Animal Crossing: New Horizons is an integral foundation of the Switch library, capable of engrossing hundreds of hours alone and incorporating fun social play. Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle introduces a less familiar genre by painting on a family veneer familiar to many Nintendo enthusiasts (and better than Sparks of Hope in my opinion). claims!). Luigi’s Mansion 3 is one of the best games on the system, but it deserves sheer charm. Ring Fit Adventure is one of the most unique RPGs I’ve ever played, and no other system can match it. My fifth choice obviously requires the NSO Expansion Pass for all the games it comes with (yes, I regularly joke that no one actually plays it), but Mario Kart and It’s even more important for Animal Crossing DLC.

I usually start my recommendation with SteamWorld Dig, but this time I’m going to mix it up! Switch has a strong lineup of great co-op multiplayer games. While some have been ported from other platforms such as Diablo III, New Super Mario Bros., and Donkey Country: Tropical Freeze, many are unique to the system. My #1 switch essential pick – and co-op delight – is Luigi’s Mansion 3. Seriously, it’s great. Next up is Splatoon 3. This is a ridiculously good competitive shooter. You can spend hundreds of hours playing this game in competitive or co-op mode, or enjoy a weekend in campaign mode. For his final three picks, the charming handheld classic The Legend of Zelda Link’s Awakening, the multi-scenario square JRPG Live Alive, and his three top-level remakes/remasters of perhaps the most beautiful game on Switch. use. Metroid Prime Remastered Forever.

This is a tough one, so I’m going to quickly cover it up by recommending the Nintendo Switch Online expansion pass. It costs about as much as the games you have to buy every year, but the service includes so many great games that it’s worth it now. I made a choice to brew. Yes, you can play Minecraft on your TI-89 calculator at the moment, but it works really well on Switch and there’s something special about playing handheld. After that things get trickier for me. Originally a Wii U game, it’s called Bayonetta 2. Metroid Prime Remastered is also a must-play game and is probably no longer available as a physical cart, but it’s available on the eShop at (that route is cheaper). Finally, this is just something I find odd. If you own a Switch, you should also have an Axiom Verge 2. He doesn’t have to play the first to enjoy the second. Probably my favorite Metroidvania of the last decade. It’s super good!
So, out of the five essential games on Nintendo Switch (other than Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and Super Mario Odyssey), which one would you choose? Let’s start the discussion in the comments!
