You can play each level alone or with friends through local or online multiplayer, and there are even customization options to dress up your favorite monkey in style.
Sonic Mania alone makes this title worthwhile, but getting Team Sonic Racing is a nice bonus. The former is effectively the 2D Sonic game that was never released, while the latter is a fun Mario Kart-esque racer. At this price, this one is a no-brainer.
Just Dance is a fantastic game for parties and fun cardio exercise. Children and adults can get hours of enjoyment from the easy dance routines, and for true fitness enthusiasts, this game comes with a dedicated 'fitness' mode. The 2025 edition contains music from iconic pop stars like Ariana Grande, Sabrina Carpenter, Billie Eilish, and Lady Gaga.
Sonic Frontiers is the Blue Blur’s latest adventure, and it’s something of a departure from previous games.

The game has tight controls and varied gameplay, and the story is better than you might expect.
Sea of Stars is a charming throwback to classic RPGs boasting engaging turn-bases combat and stunning pixel art graphics. In the vein of legendary role-playing experiences, you set off on a perilous quest epic, assembling a crew of loyal followers, and if you get bored of battling monsters, you can always go fishing to pass the time instead.
The juggernaut soccer sim returns for another season in EA Sports FC 25. While modes like Career and Pro Clubs have been neglected, the new Rush mode is fantastic, and the FC series continues to offer an unrivaled sense of authenticity. Plus, this game is the only way I'll ever get to see Newcastle Utd win a trophy, so that sight alone makes it worth buying.
A collection of two beloved Wii games hits the Nintendo Switch. You'll move into a town full of cute MySims characters and help them with their problems by completing quests, building houses and furniture, decorating, gardening, fishing and more.
Miitopia is a unique RPG where you get to populate your party (and the entire world, in fact) with Mii avatars. There's a super-deep customization system meaning you can faithfully recreate just about anyone, or you can download other players' creations to use in your own game. Take on the Dark Lord Darth Vader with Spongebob by your side, or whatever else takes your fancy. Plus, its solid turn-based battle system and hilarious story make it a fleshed-out experience.
Ni No Kuni: Wrath of the White Witch is a delightful game that combines the animation style of the legendary Studio Ghibli with the monster-hunting gameplay of Pokémon. You play a young boy named Oliver on an adventure to save a strange other world from sinister forces and recuse his mother in the process. It's easily one of the most charming games on Nintendo Switch.
Splatoon 3 is the freshest entry in Nintendo's colorful squid-based shooter series. Venture to the Splatlands, a new sun-soaked region filled with activities and new gear to unlock. Play online in intense 4v4 battles, enjoy the wonderfully creative single-player campaign, or team up with friends in the Salmon Run co-op mode.

The classic platformer Epic Mickey has been given a new coat of paint in this remastering. You play as the iconic mascot and explore a Wasteland full of twisted settings and forgotten characters.

Skyward Sword has all the trappings of a classic Zelda with puzzle-solving and dungeon exploration a key focus, alongside intense combat and boss battles. While Skyward Sword was a little divisive upon release, the years have been kind to it.
Kirby and the Forgotten Land takes the adorable pink puffball to mysterious new worlds in this 3D platforming adventure.

Tropical Freeze is one of the best side-scrolling platformers ever made, and it looks (and plays) even better on the Nintendo Switch.
Mario's latest side-scrolling adventure is a wonderfully refreshing spin on the classic formula. Venturing to the Flower Kingdom, you'll discover stage-altering Wonder Flowers which can warp levels, create new platforming challenges and even turn Mario into an elephant.

Ring Fit Adventure is an fun way for Switch owners to burn some calories while they play. In our Ring Fit Adventure review, we found it to be innovative, easy to pick up, and a lot more enjoyable than hitting the gym. In the game, you attach your Joy-Con controllers into the included Ring-Con and Leg Strap and squat, stretch, and sweat your way through a light-hearted, comedic adventure.
