5. Pokemon Sword
Pokemon Sword is the latest entry in the Pokémon series. It’s a turn-based RPG that has been released on the Nintendo Switch and it’s full of fun, new characters, and settings to explore.
The player can choose their own character from one of three regions: Kanto (the region where we first met Pikachu), Johto (the region where Ash met his first rival), or Hoenn (home to our old friend Gary). Each region has its own storyline with different events happening throughout them depending on where you start your journey as well as how far along you get through it.
6. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is an open-world adventure game set in a fantasy world. You play as Link, who must save Princess Zelda from Ganon (the main antagonist). The gameplay is similar to previous Zelda games, but it has some important differences. For example, you can now ride animals and use their abilities to solve puzzles or defeat enemies. There are also weapons for both yourself and your horse companion; you can use them together if needed! If you want something more challenging than what’s offered by this game then we recommend our next pick…
7. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker
Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is the first game in the series, and it’s all about finding treasure. As you explore each level, you’ll find coins that can be used to unlock new areas and characters.

9. Kirby Star Allies

Kirby Star Allies is a platformer game developed by HAL Laboratory, Inc. and published by Nintendo for the Nintendo Switch. The game was released in March 2018.
It is the first Kirby game to be released on the Nintendo Switch, but it’s also one of their lesser-known titles because most people who enjoy this series play other ones like Super Smash Bros., or even just watch cartoons about him instead of playing video games with him in them (like I do).
Kirby Star Allies has been critically acclaimed by critics and fans alike who praised its unique gameplay elements such as co-op multiplayer mode where up to four players can play together online against AI bots or other human players locally via split-screen mode since there isn’t any internet connection required if you don’t want one but still want some friends over at your house party tomorrow night when everyone else has left already because there wasn’t enough time left before dinner so we’ll have dinner earlier tonight instead.”
10. Overcooked! 2
Overcooked! 2 is a chaotic cooking game in which you and up to three other players must prepare, cook and serve up a variety of tasty orders before the baying customers storm out.
You will have to work together to dish up an assortment of food at your restaurant that’s bigger and better than ever. You’ll have to keep an eye on customer demand as well as each other’s efficiency if you want to master this masterpiece!
