The top ten best Swtich games to play

Nintendo Switch

It's been a year since the whole world got their hands on the Nintendo Switch gaming console and it's hard to believe that it's becoming the best selling console of this generation, not only it outsold its Wii U predecessor but also rival gaming consoles by a long shot. Reason for its success is because of its capability to play it anytime, anywhere, not to mention the bundles and the games offered, which keeps on flooding the world standard like flash floods and outbreaks.

We had to admit that we all love the Nintendo Switch because it's very roguish. You can take a date with your girlfriend while playing with your Switch and then let her pay the bills, dealing with other people visiting your home while help yourself with their belongings, and they couldn't care because, you got a SWIIIIIIIITCH.

The Switch really is Japan's get-out-of-jail-free card but to be honest, there are only a few people taking their Switches out and rather play it at the comfort of their home. So what? That's the way the Switch works and even we managed to try out just how much of an all-rounder the Switch really is. In honor of the Swtich's first anniversary, here are the ten best Switch games to play at your time.

1) The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the WIld - As one of the launch titles for the Nintendo Switch, this latest installment brings this open-world adventure to the next level with over a hundred Shines of Trials to discover and explore, a whole arsenal of equipment and items to take advantage of, and an impressive storyline.  It's no wonder it was named last year's Game of the Year and it gets even better thanks to new DLC packs such as Trial of the Sword and the Champions Ballad.

2) Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - The definitive edition of the Mario Kart 8 game made for the Switch where not only it features the original game originally played from the Wii U version but also DLC contents plus special appearances by the Inklings, making it the best Mario Kart game to play with your friends and family, everywhere.

3) ARMS - ARMS is a new kind of fighting game where players take full control of the Joy-Con while playing as one of their favorite fighters in their fast-paced single-and-multiplayer modes.

4) Splatoon 2- The latest installment of the mega-popular third-person ink-shooter game featuring new modes, characters, weapons, and different modes, giving them more ways to splatter the competition.

5) Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - Mario meets the Rabbids from the Rayman games? BWAAAHHH!!! This raving mad team up between Mario and the Rabbids brings fun to the whole new level as players battle against different enemies with different weapons, solve puzzles, and save the Mushroom Kingdom from a new kind of threat.

6) Pokken Tournament DX - Pokken DX is the ultimate Pokken experience because it adds the same goodness from the original version with some added extras that will make you and your friends back for more. With a wide array of playable Pokemon to choose from such as Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, Machamp, Gengar, Gardevoir, Suicune, Sceptile, Blaziken, Weavile, Pikachu Libre, Chandelure, Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, Braixen, and Garchomp, DX introduces five new playable Pokemon such as Darkrai, Scizor, Croagunk, Empoleon, and as a bonus, Decidueye from Pokemon Sun and Moon, bringing a total of 21 playable Pokemon to fight alongside with. In addition to the playable Pokemon, players can select a set of support Pokemon to create a divisive strategy to turn the tide of the battle. If you thought they had enough with that, there's more because there are DLCs coming your way with new playable Pokemon such as the recently added Aegislash and coming this month, Blastoise.

7) Super Mario Odyssey - This latest Super Mario installment sees Mario in the big city as he tries to crash the wedding between Princess Peach and Bowser before its too late. Fortunately, his signature gets powered up thanks to Cappy and with that, Mario now has the ability to control enemies, making it the most enjoyable Super Mario game in ages.

8) Fire Emblem Musou (Warriors) - The flaming team-up between Nintendo and Koei Tecmo brings the Musou (Warriors) action to the world of Fire Emblem as players choose from their favorite Fire Emblem characters and then hack-and-slash their way against multiple hordes of enemies.

9) Xenoblade Chronicles 2 - The latest chapter of the Xenoblade Chronicles saga sees Rex and a Blade named Pyra as they embark on a journey to save Alrest before its too late. In this game, players can discover each of the Titan's diverse regions while teaming up with different Blades to take advantage of their abilities that will be proven useful in battle.

10) Kirby Star Allies - Coming later this March on the Nintendo Switch is the newest Kirby game where your favorite enemy-sucking pink puff returns and this time, he's not alone as he can turn enemies into helpers by hitting them with hearts. With Kirby's signature copy abilities as well as the helpers, it's going to be the most enjoyable Kirby game you'll ever play and it's also a fun for the gang with multiplayer gameplay up to four people.

Happy first anniversary to the Nintendo Switch!

Biohazard Revelations Collection

Biohazard (Resident Evil) has arrived for the first time on the Nintendo Switch as two Revelations games come into one collection that will make full use of the Switch's capabilities, bringing the fear and action wherever you may go.

Biohazard Revelations Collection

The Biohazard Revelations Collection features two Revelations games in one. First, there's a game cartridge for the Biohazard Revelations Unveiled Edition game and then, there's a download code for Biohazard Revelations 2. Whichever Revelations game you choose, you can experience the terror in different ways with your Switch. Either you can play it traditionally or take advantage of the Joy-Con's capabilities such as shooting, using a knife, reloading, and in the case of Revelations 2, you can share a Joy-Con with a friend for two-player co-op in both Campaign and Raid Mode. Because this is the Nintendo Switch, you can experience the terror wherever you may go.

Biohazard Revelations/Resident Evil Revelations ventures on the tale of Jill Valentine, who is new to the BSAA, as she ventures into the secrets of the cruise liner Queen Zenobia as well as the secrets behind the Terragrigia Panic a year ago. Not only the full game is featured but it features all the bonus content such as bonus weapons for Raid Mode and two playable characters such as Rachel Ooze and Lady Hunk. You can also enjoy Raid Mode with bonus costumes from Jill, Chris, and Keith as well.

In Revelations 2, Claire, working for NGO TerraSave, was imprisoned in a desolate island alongside Barry's daughter Moira and they were under the prying eyes of the Overseer. Barry, meanwhile, sets off alone to save his daughter, with a little help of a mysterious little girl named Natalia Korda. All four episodes plus two bonus episodes (The Struggle and Little Miss) are here as well as additional Raid Mode weapons, Throwback Map Pack on Raid Mode, and two playable characters in Raid Mode such as Hunk and Albert Wesker.

Both these games are compatible with RESIDENTEVIL.NET and when you link either of these games, you can take on special Raid Mode events that will test your marksmanship, your bravery, and your bragging rights.

Exclusive to the Switch version, you can play two special minigames that has some retro 8-bit vibes to it. Doesn't do much but these retro-styled minigames add some gimmick to it.

It's been five years since CAPCOM introduced us Revelations and with the arrival of the Switch version of both of these games, fans are looking forward to revisit the truth behind the most heinous of fears while experiencing new ways to play on the Nintendo Switch. We thought there won't be a Biohazard game on the Nintendo Switch but we are damn wrong because they're already here and because this is Revelations, the best way to play Biohazard Revelations is on Nintendo Switch.

Sonic Forces

Sonic the Hedgehog has finally arrived to current-generation consoles in a brand new adventure that brings collective consciousness to a radically new level as he's going to become the face of the revolution in this revolutionary new installment.

Sonic Forces is the latest installment of SEGA's high-speed Sonic the Hedgehog franchise and this could be the Sonic game you might be interested with. After all, with the whole world's gone mad, we all need a savior...like him.

In this installment, the nefarious Dr. Eggmam took over the world with an iron fist and as the whole world succumbs to his tyrannical rule, there are only a few who can stand up against Dr. Eggman and his minions. And that only few led by Sonic and his pals, including you.

Yes, we're talking about you here because Sonic Forces features a new avatar feature that allows players to customize their character and join the action with Sonic, Classic Sonic, Tails, and Knuckles as they will ignite the uprising and end Eggman's tyranny, no matter what lays ahead.

Utilizing the new Hedgehog Engine 2, the graphics feel as sharp as ever and combined with the Ultra 4K HDR in case you're playing in let's say the PS4 Pro and the new XBOX One X, it's the most breathtaking Sonic experience yet as you will speed your way through different areas, defeat enemies and bosses, and work your way towards the ultimate objective. 

Nothing like a little collectibe consciousness than playing the most intense Sonic adventure for the whole family and because it features different ways to play, there's a reason why you have to love Sonic Forces right up to the big finale that really ends it with a bang but hey, it has to be this way for the most balls-out installment yet and when you had enough fun with the main story, there's going to be DLC contents heading your way featuring additional storylines.

With the whole world's gone mad, we all need a savior...like him. In Sonic Forces, you and the gang are ready to ignite the revolution in an all-out war between good and evil. Yes, we all said that much but hey, with the avatar feature, intense storyline, killer soundtrack, and high speed levels, Sonic Forces is going to blow their heads away and we are ready for it.

Super Mario Odyssey

When Nintendo first announced the Switch, Super Mario Odyssey is one of the much-awaited games of this new console and now that it has arrived, it's time to put our hats off to the newest Super Mario adventure that will make you jump up like a super star!

Super Mario
Odyssey

The world's favorite plumber has arrived on the Nintendo Switch for the biggest Super Mario adventure yet as Super Mario Odyssey features Mario like you never seen before as he ventures to the city called New Donk City. In his new adventure, he received an invitation to a wedding of...wait for it...Koopa (Bowser) and Princess Peach. Oh no! Can Mario crash the wedding before its too late? Well, since this is typical Super Mario adventure stuff, anything is possible, right?

In his new adventure, Mario teams up with a mysterious hat called Cappy and with Cappy took control of Mario's signature hat, the unlikely duo team up to explore new places to save the day. By land, air, sea, forests, deserts, caves, even city streets, these new places lurking around New Donk City really suits Mario's biggest adventure yet and thanks to Cappy, he can control enemies big and small in order to get through areas Mario couldn't actually reach. This new ability puts everyone's mind thinking hey, this is kinda like Kirby in so many ways, using enemies around you to your advantage and they're right!

Thanks to the Switch's capabilities, you can take the adventure anytime, anywhere, and of course, you can share that Joy-con of yours to your mate for 2-player co-op where one player plays as Mario while the other controls Cappy, making it a very enjoyable experience.

When you're taking a break collecting the moons and battling enemies to save Peach from the wedding nightmare, you can spend coins to buy new costumes for Mario and Cappy as well as souvenirs to the Odyssey. Who knew life in New Donk City can be so much...fun?! 

With so many things to do in New Donk City, you can bet that Super Mario Odyssey is by no means one of the most colorful games to play on the Switch and with new and familiar cast, heroes and villains alike, from Mario, Peach, Koopa (Bowser), Cappy, including Pauline from the March of the Minis game (anyone remember that?), it's hard to think which one is our favorite and so are the moments you will witness in Super Mario Odyssey. It can be scary to the feet, it can downright funny, it can be a worthy thriller, but above all, it's still classic Super Mario fun and with the new setting, it still harbors the same spirit that has been around for ages and we love it.

Pokken Tournament DX

The ultimate Pokken Tournament experience has finally arrived on the Nintendo Switch as Pokken Tournament DX brings the Pokemon battle wherever you go while introducing you to new and exciting additions that will keep this family-friendly fighting game even more exciting than before.

Pokken Tournament DX

Pokken Tournament DX adds the same goodness from the original version with some added extras that will make you and your friends back for more. In addition to online multiplayer battles and story-focused Ferrum League, and avatar personalization, this game features Team Battle where each round, both players choose one of the three chosen Pokemon to battle with. At the end of the round, the HP and Synergy gauge of the winning Pokemon gets carried over to the next one and the team that defeats all three of the opponent's Pokemon first wins the match. Sounds technical but enjoyable. In addition, Pokken DX features Daily Challenges where you can complete specific tasks to earn skill points to boost your favorite Pokemon's stats.

With a wide array of playable Pokemon to choose from such as Pikachu, Lucario, Charizard, Machamp, Gengar, Gardevoir, Suicune, Sceptile, Blaziken, Weavile, Pikachu Libre, Chandelure, Mewtwo, Shadow Mewtwo, Braixen, and Garchomp, DX introduces five new playable Pokemon such as Darkrai, Scizor, Croagunk, Empoleon, and as a bonus, Decidueye from Pokemon Sun and Moon, bringing a total of 21 playable Pokemon to fight alongside with. In addition to the playable Pokemon, players can select a set of support Pokemon to create a divisive strategy to turn the tide of the battle. Speaking of which, care to recreate some anime moments using the some of the playable Pokemons in the roster? Yes, please.

Like the original, Pokken Tournament DX is a family-friendly fighting game everyone can play with, even your ate or kuya, can join the battle. And because this is Nintendo Switch, you can take the battle everywhere you like, giving you the freedom to play this game wherever you like. From your neighbor's house, frat parties, after-school, office breaks, tailgating parties, every moment is a Pokemon battle and with Pokken Tournament DX, the world is your arena and everyone can join the Pokemon battle if they like.

It really is the ultimate Pokken experience by a long shot, where the only piece missing is you and your pals. Gotta Get Ready For The Next Battle one last time!

Let the splatfest begin!

ARMS

Nintendo's first-ever fighting game made specifically for the brand-new Switch, called ARMS, rewrites everything they think about fighting games and with the newest addition to the Nintendo family takes advantage of the new JoyCon peripheral, having just one pair isn't enough because you're going to need more to deliver its party piece for the newest Nintendo fighting game.

ARMS

ARMS, so what is ARMS? Nintendo calls it "the first fighting game of its kind" and players are ready to fight like never before as they can fight as different cast of fighters, including Spring Man and Ribbon Girl, and equip them with numerous kinds of ARMS that can turn the tide of the battle. They can only bring three different ARMS to a match and can be swapped during rounds and take note, each ARMS have different attributes such as fire, lightning, or wind. They will have to charge them up during a match and unleash its massive firepower to blow the competition away. Best of all, you can either collect new ones or upgrade existing ones. This means that ARMS isn't just a fighting game because it takes strategy to master different kinds of characters and ARMS to take on skilled players worldwide in various battle modes and show them who's the boss.

In ARMS, you can fight against other players in either 1 vs. 1, 2 vs. 2, or different kinds of games such as volleyball, basketball, target shooting, and many more. Or, you can get to know more about the characters in Grand Prix mode where players take on seven levels of difficulty and 10 matches each to prove that they deserve the title. In terms of playing online, they can either fight for fun in Party Match or fight for real in Ranked Match.

Just to take note, before the Switch's paid online subscription kicks off next year, best to play its online features at no cost for such a limited time, just so you can understand its online multiplayer gameplay better before you're going to charge some to play multiplayer online.

As a game made specifically for the Switch, ARMS offers different play styles but most importantly is using a pair of JoyCons courtesy of the Thumbs-up Grip because with the pair set, players can punch, move, grab, guard, or unleash Rush attacks by the way you move those JoyCons. In addition to the Thumbs-up Grip, ARMS allows players to play the game in various play styles depending on the controllers and layouts.

So, what can I say about ARMS? Taking advantage of the Nintendo Switch, this game is all about taking on all-comers wherever you go and because you are going to need a pair of JoyCons to unleash the ultimate ARMS experience, you should need some more to bring out its party piece because ARMS is more than just a fighting game, it's a party game where you can spend your time with your mates punching each other for the win and that really is the party piece ARMS is all about. Best of all, it's a fun, family-friendly alternative to those hard hitting fighting games your big bro and big sis are familiar with so you can challenge your whole family with the game of ARMS, making it the perfect family night idea after a long, strenuous day. Like I said, it really is a party piece and kudos to Nintendo to create a fun fighting game for all ages to enjoy anyway they like.

Nintendo Switch

Welcome everyone to a new way to play video games everywhere. A new kind of console that lets you play games at home and take it anywhere, giving you the freedom to do whatever you like in the name of gaming. This is the all-new Nintendo Switch.

With prices start at 29,980 Japanese Yen, the Switch matches the prices from today's gaming consoles we often played with today but unlike these modern consoles, the Switch was made for one purpose; you can take it anytime, anywhere.

How? Nintendo states that the Switch comes with three different ways to play games. First up, TV mode, and in here, you can play the Switch traditionally like a normal gaming console. Then, there's the handheld mode, where you can turn the Switch from a normal household gaming console to a portable handheld console. And lastly, the tabletop mode, for more enjoyment anytime, anywhere. With different ways to play, the Switch gives gamers unparalleled freedom to play video games no matter where they are.

Nintendo's idea of a hybrid gaming console that lets them take it anywhere may sound like it's farfetched as a concept when they first come up with such idea, to be fair, but when they showcased the Switch to the world, people likened the idea of the Switch to a portable laptop because they both shared the freedom to do whatever they like.

I call it great news and there's more because back in the times of the 3DS and Wii U, gamers got disgusted over the consoles' region-locking restrictions, meaning they can't play any game, no matter where they bought it. With the Switch though, that issue no longer holds the case because the region-locking restriction has been finally thrown away for good, meaning no matter where you bought that game, you can still play it without even knowing it.

Downsides? Well, for now, you won't find any interesting apps at launch, not even the ones that lets you strean your favorite TV shows. Another downside? Well, by fall, Nintendo's joining alongside Sony and Microsoft over the paid multiplayer service and if you want to play against other players globally, you'll gonna have to pay for a subscription fee and that is a pain in our wallets. Ouch.

At launch, the Switch offers new games such as The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, and the more enjoyable party game 1-2 Switch. Later on, it will be joined by other games such as ARMS, Splatoon 2, Super Mario Odyssey, and many more, with over a hundred games to choose from post-launch. 

So, welcome everyone to the future of Nintendo gaming. For years, Nintendo has been a pioneer of producing some of the best gaming consoles since the Family Computer and with the Switch, Nintendo has marked a new chapter on their gaming history and everyone around the globe can't hardly wait to get their hands on it right now.

Ready to make the Switch, ladies and gentlemen? It's time.
