※Update from the future me! The N64 catalogue is now available on the Nintendo Switch Online + Expansion Pack service so the bullet point above is not really true anymore… ◉ There are also more weirdass PC Star Wars games than N64 games available on the eShop right now. At the same time, the Switch has received (I think?) less NES and SNES ports than the four previous Nintendo stationary and handheld consoles. ◉ Hamster and M2, among others, have also made it possibly the console with the largest number of official arcade ports, including some exclusive and pretty unexpected titles. ◉ It gets better: the Switch is somehow involved in the official preservation of i-Mode games thanks to the efforts of G-Mode and their G-Mode Archives, which is not a fight I expected the console (or anyone) to engage in inexplicably some of these i-Mode games are even being released in the West!

The Switch is a much more “all-inclusive” handheld than previous handheld consoles from both Sony and Nintendo. ◉ There are relatively few GBA, DS and 3DS games on the Switch at the moment, but there are already a bunch of PSP, PS Vita and Neo Geo Pocket games (and even one Wonderswan game as a limited promotion item) available on the Nintendo eShop. But if you need some convincing, let’s consider the following: If you already agree with the previous sentence, feel free to scroll beyond this big wall of bullet points and skip to my recommendations, honestly.

From a consumer perspective, it’s easily my favorite console since the Nintendo DS and probably the system, besides Steam and maybe the Saturn, for which I have bought the most games and spent the most time playing already.Ī lot of the recommendations so far have been about recent indies but one thing that’s peculiar about this machine is how uniquely it preserves video game history.
