The 21 best Nintendo Switch games in 2024
Nintendo turned things around with the Switch. Before its launch, the Wii U was languishing well in third place in the console wars and, after considerable pressure, the company was making its first tentative steps into mobile gaming with Miitomo and Super Mario Run. Fast-forward to today and Nintendo continues to sell millions of Switch units each year, even with the console being nearly eight years old. This is likely due in part to the Switch’s unique hybrid format and an ever-growing game library with uncharacteristically strong third-party support. Whether you’ve had your Nintendo Switch for many years or you just bought one, there are plenty of great titles to try for the first time. We’ve collected our favorite Nintendo Switch games here, in a list we’re constantly reevaluating, and don’t worry if you have a Switch Lite — every game on the list is fully supported by the portable-only console.
