Switch Games

Animal Crossing, but for the Nintendo Switch! It looks absolutely beautiful in HD and is super chill and generally lovely to play!

A fun cooperative puzzle game, definitely a nice way to spend an afternoon with family.

Having played a fair bit of the original Brain Training for the DS, I was excited for the Switch version to release - and with good reason! Brain Training has now become a part of my day, with my favourite minigames being Calculations and Masterpiece Recital.

A single player puzzle game that gets difficult relatively quickly. It's nice to be able to immediately hop in and spend a few minutes trying to solve a level.

The first game that I bought for my Switch, and definitely worth it. Whether it's with friends or family, single player or online, I don't think you can beat Mario Kart in terms of fun arcade-y racing.

I'm not very good at Mario Tennis Aces, but that doesn't mean it's not fun! Online tournaments are a nice feature, but matchmaking can sometimes take a while to find an opponent.

A collection of classic NES games, though I normally just end up playing Super Mario Bros.

Wii Sports, but for the Nintendo Switch, and with a focus on online multiplayer! What more is there to love? 🎳

An incredibly fun "co-op" game about fulfilling orders in increasingly silly restaurant kitchens. I played through the entire game with my friends, which can be seen here.

A 4v4 third-person shooter where all the weapons shoot ink - what's not to love? By far the game that I've played the most of on my Switch, and I don't see that changing in the forseable future.

The sequel to Splatoon 2, and still incredibly fun! Includes a pretty fun story mode, and a new lobby minigame in the form of Tableturf Battles. Seasons bring more regular levelling up and rewards, and the locker customisation and splashtags are nice new features. Oh, and you still shoot ink! 🦑🐙

Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy - what a trio! Galaxy was the game that I played the most as a kid, and I've loved going back and experiencing it, and though the other two were released before my time, I've also really enjoyed playing them.

A really fun game! The story mode has a large number of really good levels, and the online mode has (as good as) infinite levels. I'm not quite creative enough to make anything decent in the course creator, but the rest of the game is more than worth it alone.

The main 3D Mario adventure on the Switch. I love the game, but I can't control it anymore after getting used to Splatoon 2's control scheme 😛

Tetris, but you're against 98 other people. Normally this doesn't change the game that much and so it's enjoyable as a normal Tetris game too (there's also a DLC item that adds a classic marathon mode if that's what you're looking for).

A game about wreaking havoc as a goose in a village. It's remarkably silly and fun, and I can't not recommend a game with a dedicated button to honk!
