Featuring a story where the Pokemons were still just some wild creatures and people have just started using them as pets, players get a first-hand experience of trying the first Pokeballs. The game features various biomes that players could explore without restrictions. It really felt like a modern Nintendo Switch game.

Tunic

Fans gave this game one look and decided that this was just another top-down legend of Zelda rip-off. It is an isometric action-adventure game which has an adorable art style that reminds players of games like Link’s Awakening. But the fox featured in this game is not Link.

The enemies we fight are not similar to those featured in Zelda games. And the world that we explore is not Hyrule. It is, in fact, way more brutal and harder. It is technically a soul game in terms of combat and bosses.

So yes, everyone recommends that players tread lightly when approaching this game.

Triangle Strategy

A game that mixes the beautiful pixelated art style of Octopath Traveller and the gameplay of a turn-based strategy RPG game. It’s a very unique-looking game that provides an experience like no other.

It takes a lot of inspiration from Final Fantasy tactics and that inspiration pays off in a very perfect manner. Over that, it has a well-written story that you would find hard to forget once done with it.

Splatoon 3

Splatoon 3 is a third-person shooter team-based multiplayer game. And it is as fun as its predecessors, and sometimes even more fun than what came before it. At launch, this game included all the weapons from Splatoon 1 and 2.

And at launch, it had a very big collection of maps to choose from. It can even be called one of the most feature-packed Splatoon games. Also, this game is having the best single-player content of any Splatoon game before, so if you prefer some alone time, you are set.

Persona 5 Royale

Finally, Persona 5 Royale made it to Nintendo Switch, and it is as good as it is on any other platform. It has a very engaging story, albeit with some heavy themes. Its gameplay is as usual as fun as ever.

And finally, its soundtrack is something of a revelation. You would not mind grinding in this game thanks to its brilliant soundtrack.

Over everything else, this game has every expansion that has ever been released for the base version of the game, so players have no shortage of content.
