When it comes to long-awaited sequels, New Pokémon Snap doesn't disappoint in the least.
Murder mysteries are a wonderful genre of any medium that have near limitless potential and Root Film is a great entry that fans of other similar visual novels are likely to find enjoyment from.
There's no series quite like Monster Hunter, and Rise further sets itself apart as a shining beacon of how to make some of the best action combat available.
Super Mario 3D World was already a fantastic Mario title that alone made it worth owning a Wii U back in the day.
After thinking Taiko no Tatsujin: Rhythmic Adventure might be locked to Japanese players on the 3DS for all time, it was a wonderful surprise to see it getting a localized Switch release.
A good majority of NES titles are hard to recommend to anyone this day and age when most are either outdated or have superior versions players can pick up.
Although Shiren the Wanderer isn't a long title, it's hard to stop going back in and taking on the next challenge that's offered.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity is a welcome surprise that gives players a brand new way to enjoy their time in Breath of the Wild's Hyrule with fun, fast-paced gameplay.
Bugsnax is a relatively short title, taking roughly around ten hours or so to finish depending on if players go for full completion or not.
Of the many titles from Wii U that still need and deserve to be ported to Switch, Pikmin 3 Deluxe was a great choice to bring over.
Part Time UFO is a surprise release that brings a charming new puzzle title to Switch. The levels are fantastic amounts of fun and figuring out how to solve and beat all the challenges is addictive.
Super Mario Bros. 35 is extremely addictive to keep playing over and over, trying to get that top spot no matter how long it takes.
For a title that dropped out of nowhere, Kirby Fighters 2 is filled with all the charm of the average Kirby title but without a world map to explore.
It goes without saying that these classic Mario titles hold up extremely well.

Clubhouse Games is not the best solo experience, as playing against CPUs can often feel one-sided in certain games or simply lacking that slow, methodical strategy one gets from playing against a real person instead of a fast-thinking computer.
Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii was already a masterpiece of the time.
It's hard to go wrong with Hatsune Miku and all the other Vocaloids in one of the most enjoyable rhythm titles on Switch. Although everything about how to play is simple at face value, it gets more challenging the higher the difficulty goes and constantly challenges one's rhythm and ability to be alert without getting distracted.
