The Best Nintendo Switch Games, So Far

The Animal Crossing series is well known for being a casual experience that's easy to jump into even if you've never played any of the games before. New Horizon is a cute and chill game where you live on an island and get to interact with all the other animals. You can go fishing, make friends, and play games. This game dropped at the start of the global pandemic, so it has made a perfect companion for millions who want to have social interactions and make an attempt to relax. The social element and its casual gameplay make this game great to pick up anytime, no matter the circumstances.

Sticking to the classic Zelda script, the player can explore the open world, find secret areas, and complete quests. There are many enemies to defeat with different strategies for each one. The player can also find new weapons and items to help them fight enemies. There are many puzzles to figure out in order to progress through the game. The music in the game is amazing and changes at different points in the game to match the mood. For its diverse set of missions and story, we recommend this game to any fan of open-world RPG style games.

Having played Pokémon Blue, Red and Yellow at the height of Poke mania in the early 2000s, we can appreciate the want to revive the originals. Pokémon Let's Go is a perfect entry point for newcomers to the series. It's a remake of the original Pokémon Red and Blue, but with a few modifications that make it more accessible to new players. The graphics have been updated to be in the same style as the popular Pokémon Go mobile game, and the battles are turn-based, not random. There are also a few new features, such as being able to see your Pokémon's stats and choose which one to send out in a tournament. Even with some modifications from the original, long-time fans can enjoy the revival and feel some nostalgia while still enjoying that new game feel.

As the third installment in the Luigi’s Mansion series, players can explore a variety of different mansions with puzzles that are much more difficult than any previous installment in the series. There are several different things to collect throughout each level, including Boos, keys, and coins, but many puzzles can only be solved by having an item called the Poltergust G-00. The story of the game revolves around Luigi being captured by King Bowser. Mario must rescue him by traversing eight worlds filled with puzzles, enemies, and traps. The new Hero Sight system combined with added challenges and more difficult puzzles makes this our favorite Luigi's Mansion game yet.

Super Mario 3D All-Stars is a great game. We are huge fans of the Mario series and it's hard to find games that are as fun as these classics. Being able to play all the different games in one place is something that really sets this game apart from others. The gameplay introduced in Super Mario Sunshine was refreshing and gave a different experience than previous games. It has been noted that the levels in the game were constructed with an emphasis on exploration and use of Mario's new water gun accessory, rather than rehashing the same style as older games. The level design rewards players with collectable shine sprites and encourages creativity with various puzzles. We highly recommend this to those that have been looking for a new challenge from the Mario franchise.
