The pack-in games will be great for any family with youngsters that will want to rip this open on Christmas day (or on September 5), and start playing immediately. Right out of the box you’ll have two controllers, and two games that are made to be played with others. 1-2 Switch doesn’t have the strongest legs, but it still stands as the best showcase for the hardware and everything the Joy-Con controllers are capable of. It’s the Wii Sports of Nintendo Switch, so to speak.
As for Mario Tennis Aces, we loved our time with it. The single-player mode has its valleys and hiccups, but it’s still one of the best arcade tennis games ever made, especially when playing with friends locally. The competition online is fierce, and Camelot is still balancing the characters to make for a fair court, but it’s still a game that we can recommend across the board. You can check out our full review here.
This holiday season is going to be killer for Nintendo, and there’s never been a better time to jump in. In addition to the games you’ll get right out of the box, you can also look forward to Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Super Mario Party, Pokemon: Let’s Go, Eevee and Let’s Go Pikachu.
Those are just a few of the upcoming first-party games you have to look forward to, but there’s an existing library there waiting for you already. ARMS is a wild twist on the fighting game genre that you’ll love playing with friends. Splatoon 2 is a uniquely Nintendo twist on the third-person, objective-driven shooter, and of course you’ll have Fortnite to download for free right out of the box as well. Needless to say, you can spend very little, and get a lot.
And we’ll be keeping you guys update with coverage and reviews of all of the latest hit games on Nintendo Switch. You can find our Super Smash Bros. Ultimate coverage here, and for all of our latest Pokemon Let’s Go coverage, you can bookmark this page.
