The best Nintendo Switch games tend to cover all bases, from the epic open-world adventures and farming simulators to quirky cartoon racers and multiplayer madness for everyone in the family. The best Switch games are timeless, and excellent investments, as you'll find yourself playing them again and again. 

One of the best features of the Nintendo Switch console is the removable controllers (known as Joy-Cons), which let you play in hand-held, table-top or TV mode. This means you can play a huge variety of games with no limits and with a friend too.
