The Nintendo Switch has had quite a life (Nintendo)<\/figcaption><\/figure>\n

As the Nintendo<\/a> Switch 2<\/a> release date looms what are the best games for the original Switch<\/a> and are they still worth playing?<\/p>\n

There is a very good chance that the Nintendo Switch will end up as the best-selling video game console of all time<\/a>, and that will be an accolade that is well deserved. Regardless of whether you agree about it being the best console ever made it has a line-up of first and third party exclusives that is unrivalled, certainly in modern times.<\/p>\n

With the Switch 2 now just weeks away from release<\/a> we\u2019ve tried to make a list of the 20 best exclusives, especially because the Switch 2 is backwards compatible and you should be able to play almost all of them on it (the new Joy-Cons are the only real problem, but we\u2019ve noted that in the descriptions).<\/p>\n

We can\u2019t make any claim to this being a definitive list though, as Metroid Prime 4: Beyond<\/a> and Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A<\/a> are due to be released this year, with Rhythm Paradise Groove and Tomodachi Life: Living The Dream<\/a> scheduled for next year. Although in terms of Metroid Prime 4 and Pok\u00e9mon Legends: Z-A, separate Nintendo Switch 2 Editions are also planned.<\/p>\n

It really has been a remarkable generation for Nintendo, with many other great games not quite making our list, including the likes of Snipperclips Plus, The Legend Of Zelda: Echoes Of Wisdom, Cadence Of Hyrule, ARMS, Paper Mario: The Origami King, and Kirby And The Forgotten Land.<\/p>\n

Then there\u2019s enjoyable oddities such as the quickly forgotten Labo range of construction sets<\/a> and the various massively multiplayer games on Nintendo Switch Online, such as Tetris 99, Super Mario Bros. 35, and F-Zero 99.<\/p>\n

The only franchise that hasn\u2019t fared well over the last eight years is Pok\u00e9mon, with both mainline entries and Pokemon Legends: Arceus proving to be outdated in terms of both ideas and technology. New Pok\u00e9mon Snap<\/a> was great, but that\u2019s been all, so there\u2019s still ways in which the Switch 2 can improve on its illustrious predecessor.<\/p>\n
