Even the most steadfast doubters who initially refused to believe a handheld device could ever hold its own with the latest gaming consoles or a PC, now find themselves won over by the versatile Nintendo Switch. Unlike other platforms, the Switch allows you to take your game with you on the go, switching seamlessly between gameplay on a large-screen television to a handheld portable you can play anywhere. Take your game from the living room to the bedroom or with you out on the road — if you’re a passenger, that is. Even better, some of the best Switch games you can find on Amazon really come alive — or come back to life — when released for Nintendo Switch.

Nintendo offers an incredible lineup of games — both new ones and remastered old favorites with upgraded graphics and smooth, tight controls, plus a wealth of Nintendo Switch accessories to personalize and enhance your experience. In fact, Nintendo makes the most of the hardware required for Switch’s hybrid style with visual effects that are ideally suited for the Switch and the result is surprisingly gorgeous graphics in many of the most popular games.

Whether you’re new to the Nintendo Switch and want to find some great games for your latest platform, or you’d like to add to your existing library with new, edge-of-your-seat action, this list of the best Switch games you can find on Amazon today includes a variety of genres and modes. Each game lives up to its reputation for graphics, gameplay, and all-around gaming greatness.

If you judge a gaming console mostly by what you can play on it, then the Nintendo Switch should be at the top of your list. Both those who initially doubted that a hybrid handheld device could ever live up to its console competitors and those who’ve been enthusiasts of the versatile platform since the beginning now understand the power of the Nintendo Switch and the fantastic titles that earned the portable platform its sky-rocketing popularity. Whether they’re Nintendo exclusives or popular second and third-party choices, some of the best Switch games you can find on Amazon are also some of the best video games of all time — now cleaned up and looking and performing their best for Nintendo Switch whether on your big screen television or right in your hand. And if you’ve upgraded to the OLED Switch, the platform's games are looking bolder and brighter than ever before.

So how do you know these new games and classic favorites look, play, and work well on the Switch?

Finding First-Party Games

If you’re looking for the best Switch games you can find on Amazon, beginning with the platform’s first-party games makes a lot of sense. Games created by the platform, exclusively for the platform are almost always the ones that offer the most stunning graphics and glitch-free performances. This is especially true for the Nintendo Switch since it requires unique hardware to make the games versatile enough to move seamlessly from a large screen to a handheld device.

If you enjoy exploring open worlds and viewing stunning visuals, the Switch delivers just that in some of its most popular first-party titles. You’ll love the kingdom of Hyrule where you’ll trek as Link through wilderness regions, mountains, deserts, villages, and deep dungeons in a realistic world filled with legendary landmarks and ancient lore.

If you’re more interested in fast-paced fun than lush visuals in a legendary saga of good versus evil, you’ll enjoy racing across the vivid graphics of the Mushroom kingdom in competition with many of Nintendo’s most beloved characters, all of whom appear together in one game to join the fun.

By choosing one of Nintendo’s first-party games designed exclusively for the Switch, you know you’ll enjoy top-notch gameplay and awe-inspiring graphics.

Solid Second or Third-Party Games, and Games Adapted for the Switch

While you’ll rarely go wrong with a first-party pleaser designed exclusively for the Nintendo Switch, there is also a lot to be said for games Nintendo adapts for re-release on the Switch — and they’re adding more to the list every day. Look for remastered or enhanced favorites that take you on a nostalgic trip to the past such as the game that made car theft seem like an acceptable alternative lifestyle to gamers of the early 2,000s, or the game that popularized the over-the-shoulder, third-person shooter format and first brought players into the zombie-ridden world of Raccoon City.

Because the Nintendo Switch is a relatively new platform, all of the available titles are newly remastered or enhanced. That means some of the best Switch games you can find on Amazon originally came from other platforms and consoles. Since they’re newly reworked, they offer the most up-to-date gameplay and modernized graphics with added 3D texturing and enhanced lighting to reincarnate these old favorites and breathe refreshing new life into them without losing the original spirit.

Whether it’s nostalgia that brings you back to the blockbuster blocky Overworld to mine for resources and construct your own city, or you’ve decided to check out the game that first brought your parents into the gaming world, these games look and play better than ever on the Nintendo Switch.
