Top Nintendo Switch Games Coming Out This Year

2020 is almost over, but there are still new games that Nintendo Switch released this year. That’s good news considering that we’ve been bombarded with not-so-good ones in the past months. Luckily, our assignment is to try out some of these and to recommend the best ones. Our job has never been this good!

Regardless if you are someone who enjoys adventure or a combat game, we have here a list for you. Let’s cut the chase and get the ball rolling. 

1. No Straight Roads

If you love playing games with rockstars on it, then No Straight Roads will surely fit your preference. Mayday and Zuke are on a quest to prove that rock can change the world.

The characters can go to different venues of artists and hijack high-profile concerts. That alone sounds like fun, doesn’t it? 

While it’s not really considered mainstream, players have been telling that No Straight Roads surprised them with amazing adventures. Apart from the gaming experience, you will enjoy the music and, of course, the graphics. 

Price: $39.99 

2. Kirby Fighters 2

Let’s now go to another game that Nintendo Switch released this year – the Kirby Fighters 2. Apparently, it is a fighting game. Well, the fights aren’t exactly challenging, but it could be fun to play with your friends! 

The story mode takes long hours to finish, making the game all worth it. They say that it’s pretty much like Super Smash Bros but for kids and, of course, for Kirby lovers. 

Price: $19.99 

3. World of Tanks Blitz

If there are free games to play, then why should we miss the opportunity? World of Tanks Blitz is a decent 3D Tank shooter game that you might want to try out. To begin with, it has around 10 million players online. That data alone tells us that the game is definitely worth a shot. 

The tanks vary from another, and you will certainly appreciate its intricacies. However, if you are used to playing its PC counterpart, you can instantly notice the issues in terms of the progression.

4. Raji: An Ancient Epic   

The game, Raji: An Ancient Epic, took years before the creators launched it to the public. But is it worth it? 

The story revolves around a circus performer, Raji, who is on a quest to rescue his brother Golu. Golu was kidnapped by demons, which makes the entire plot even more interesting. If you love Hindu and Balinese mythology, then you will enjoy playing this game. 

The downside though is that you can finish this game in a few hours. For those who are longing for more challenging quests, you might feel shortchanged.  

Price: $24.99

5. The Long Dark 

Are you a fan of games wherein you are challenged by fatigue, hunger, dehydration, and hypothermia? If yes, then we recommend playing The Long Dark. It’s a good take on what an apocalypse looks like. And with the things going around the planet, this game can be a preparation for real life. Of course, that could be an exaggeration – or probably not.  

It is an outstanding survival game where you need to collect as many things as you can. Think about finding clothing that you can layer to survive the extreme cold. You can also use your creativity by cooking your own food, hunting, and even finding a shelter. 

Price: $34.99

6. Ori and the Will of the Wisps

We’ve already reached half of our list of the best games Nintendo Switch released this year, and it would be such a disgrace if we don’t add Ori and the Will of the Wisps. 

Many Nintendo Switch players waited for the game, and it did not disappoint. The story starts with Ku and Ori crashing on a mysterious forest where they got separated. It is now up to Ori to bravely explore the dangerous forest and rescue Ku. Apparently, it isn’t an easy quest, and a lot of mental energy is required. The story can get emotional, so be prepared for it. 

Price: $29.99

7. Super Mario 3D All-Stars 

Who doesn’t want Super Mario, right? This classic has impressed generation after generation, but does this game from Nintendo Switch live up to expectations? 

For its price, you get to enjoy three games, which isn’t a bad deal. These games are Super Mario’s best adventures. This includes the Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy. 

Price: $59.99

8. Hades

The last game in our list is Hades, which received outstanding reviews from experts and ‘home gamers.’ If you are looking for a game with superior mechanics, perfect music, and matching voice over, Hades should be in your option. In fact, we don’t get tired playing this game over and over. The narrative is commendable as well. 

Don’t expect that it will be easy for you to break out of the Underworld. It can be addicting, and at the same time, you’d learn a lot about Greek mythology.
