Nintendo Switch 控制台(Nintendo Switch console)在撰写本文时刚刚过了三岁生日，并且仍然很强劲。售出近5000 万台(50 million units sold)，它已经比超级任天堂娱乐系统(Super Nintendo Entertainment System)更受欢迎，被广泛认为是任天堂有史以来最好的游戏机之一。
这种巨大的成功和令人难以置信的庞大安装基础意味着Switch也成为了游戏开发者的热门平台。Switch拥有上一代端口、当前一代多平台(generation multi-platform)游戏和大量独家游戏，拥有如此多有价值的游戏，因此基本上不可能挑选出某种突出最佳游戏的列表。
然而，这正是我们必须做的，因为作为一个（可能）新的Switch 拥有者(Switch owner)，希望让你的图书馆开始强大起来，可能很难知道哪些游戏绝对值得你花钱。
在这里，我们尝试将游戏类型的良好组合包括在内，并且没有将游戏排除在考虑之外，因为它们也存在于其他平台上。如果一款游戏在Switch上并且（在我们看来）是平台上最好的游戏之一，那么它就有资格在此处展示。所以这里有 5 款顶级Nintendo Switch游戏。
《荒野(Wild)之息》既是对之前塞尔达(Zelda)游戏的重大背离，也是在冒险和奇迹(adventure and wonder)感方面回归系列的根源。几乎每个人似乎都同意BotW是每个Switch 所有者(Switch owner)的必玩游戏。
它不仅非常漂亮，不仅在开放世界中提供了数百小时的时间，而且还讲述了一个需要英雄的破碎世界的史诗故事，并提供了一些真正独特的紧急游戏玩法。
BotW世界(BotW world)感觉充满活力和不可预测。您真的可以按照自己的方式玩，许多谜题以开发人员从未想象过的方式使用物理规则。底线是：如果你喜欢开放世界、奇幻冒险和非常有趣的游戏玩法和探索(gameplay and exploration)，你应该已经在玩这个了。
火焰之纹章系列(Fire Emblem series)回合制策略角色(strategy role)扮演游戏一直拥有忠实的忠实粉丝群。这些游戏以永久角色死亡(character death)而闻名。如果您的一个独特角色在战斗中死去——(battle –)就是这样。
Fire Emblem随着 3DS游戏Fire Emblem Awakening的发布而成为主流，它引入了一个休闲选项并添加了一个深刻的浪漫机制(romance mechanic)，玩家可以在其中配对角色，然后招募他们的孩子加入战斗。
三(Three) 屋(Houses)是Switch的第一个(Switch)FE(FE title)游戏，代表了该系列公式(’ formula)的又一次重大改革。匹配机制已经一去不复返了，尽管您自己的角色仍然可以浪漫另一个角色。取而代之的是，三(Three)屋(Houses)提供了复杂而深刻的SRPG（策略角色扮演游戏(Strategy Role-Playing Game)）体验和数百(experience and hundreds)小时的游戏时间。
你扮演一个神秘的神童，他成为霍格沃茨式军事学院的教授。你需要选择你将加入的三个家族中的哪一个，这也意味着宣誓效忠于那个家族领袖(house leader)以及他们所代表的王国、帝国或公国。(empire or duchy)重要的是不要破坏游戏的情节，但你在游戏故事的第一个主要阶段所做的事情会对后一个阶段产生深远的影响。
三座房子(Houses)是一款您需要至少玩四次才能看到每个主要故事情节的游戏。最近，一个故事扩展(story expansion)已经发布，增加了一个“第四”房子(” house)作为一个支线故事(side story)。如果你喜欢SRPG ，没有比《三(SRPGs)屋(Houses)》更物超所值的了。到目前为止，这位作家已经投入了 100 多个小时的游戏，而且至少还有 50 个小时的时间。
DOOM 2016是(Switch)所谓的“不可能的端口”之一。尽管每秒 30 帧的上限、更模糊的视觉效果和不那么详细的纹理，但这就是整个DOOM 2016体验。作为一个纯粹的射击游戏(pure shooter)，在Switch上(Switch)没有什么(s nothing)比这更好的了，这当然是手持(game handheld)和在旅途 中玩这款游戏的唯一方式。
《 DOOM 2016》是一部撕裂、撕裂、杀戮恶魔的纯粹乐趣片。如果其中任何一个对您来说听起来不错（例如屡获殊荣的金属配乐(metal soundtrack)），那么今天就购买这款游戏(game today)。此外，顺便说一句，《毁灭战士1》、《2和3 》以及《毁灭战士(3)64(DOOM 64) 》和《毁灭战士永恒》(DOOM Eternal)也在Switch上。
如果没有至少一个马里奥头衔(Mario title)，你就不可能拥有一份顶级Nintendo Switch游戏列表。著名的意大利水管工有很多优秀的头衔，但只有马里奥奥德赛(Mario Odyssey)作为拥有的头衔脱颖而出。
以革命性的 3D马里奥 64(Mario 64)游戏和随后的 3D马里奥游戏为基础，(Mario)奥德赛(Odyssey)向您展示了您从未见过的马里奥。(Mario)他闯入了不同的世界，通过一顶有知觉的帽子(sentient hat)赋予了不可思议的力量，让你拥有敌人和物体。
关卡设计受到启发，马里奥(Mario)控制如梦，游戏提供了大量的游戏玩法。特别是如果你是一个完美主义的收藏家(completionist collector)。这是 3D马里奥游戏(Mario game)设计的巅峰之作，如果您喜欢任何 3D马里奥(Mario)，这款也应该在您的列表中。
Cuphead之所以引人注目，有几个原因。首先(First)，它曾经是微软(Microsoft)的独家产品，但由于任天堂和微软似乎已经建立了奇怪的友谊(friendship Nintendo and Microsoft)，现在它在Switch上。(Switch)至少现在。这款游戏特别的另一个原因是其无与伦比的经典动画。如果您是经典“弯曲”动画(” animation)的粉丝，那么Cuphead会吸引您。
最后，这款游戏被认为是最具挑战性的游戏之一，专注于 Boss 战和出色的两人模式(two-player mode)。这个故事本质上是一个“为魔鬼付出代价”的故事，(” yarn)你必须打败这些老板来拯救你自己的灵魂。Cuphead有很多老式的挑战和大量抛光的魅力。如果您不怕重复死亡，Cuphead是必不可少的头衔。

The 5 Top Nintendo Switch Games
The Nintendo Switch console just had its third birthday at the time of writing and is still going strong. With nearly 50 million units sold, it is already more popular than the Super Nintendo Entertainment System, widely considered to be one of Nintendo’s best consoles ever made.
This massive success and incredibly large install base means that the Switch has also become a hot platform for game developers. Featuring both last-generation ports, current generation multi-platform games and a healthy number of exclusives, the Switch has so many worthwhile games that culling some sort of list highlighting the best ones is essentially impossible.
Yet, that’s exactly what we have to do, because as a (presumably) new Switch owner looking to start your library out strong it can be hard to know which titles are absolutely worthy of your money.
Here we’ve tried to include a good mix of game genres and have not excluded games from consideration because they also exist on other platforms. If a game is on the Switch and is (in our opinion) one of the best games on the platform, it’s eligible to feature here. So here are the 5 top Nintendo Switch games.
Breath of the Wild is both a major departure from Zelda games before and also somewhat of a return to the roots of the series when it comes to the sense of adventure and wonder. Just about everyone seems to agree that BotW is a must-play game for every Switch owner.
Not only is it utterly beautiful, not only does it provide hundreds of hours in an open world, it also tells an epic story of a broken world in need of a hero and offers some truly unique emergent gameplay.
The BotW world feels alive and unpredictable. You really can play it your way, with many puzzles using the physics rules in ways the developers never imagined. Here’s the bottom line: if you love open worlds, fantasy adventure and incredibly fun gameplay and exploration, you should already be playing this.
The Fire Emblem series of turn-based strategy role playing games has always had a hardcore, dedicated fanbase. These games were especially known for having permanent character death. If one of your unique characters dies in a battle – that’s it.
Fire Emblem exploded into the mainstream with the release of the 3DS title Fire Emblem Awakening, which introduced a casual option and added a deep romance mechanic, where players could pair characters and then recruit their children into the fight as well.
Three Houses is the first FE title for the Switch and represents yet another major overhaul of the series’ formula. Gone are the matchmaking mechanics, although your own character can still romance one other character. Instead, Three Houses offers a complex and deep SRPG (Strategy Role-Playing Game) experience and hundreds of hours of play.
You play a mysterious prodigy who becomes a professor at a Hogwarts-esque military academy. You need to choose which one of three houses you will join, which also means swearing allegiance to that house leader and the kingdom, empire or duchy they represent. It’s important not to spoil the game’s plot, but what you do in the first main phase of the game’s story has deep repercussions for the latter phase.
Three Houses is a game you need to play at least four times in order to see every major storyline. Recently, a story expansion has been released that adds a “fourth” house as a side story. If you enjoy SRPGs, there’s no better value for money than Three Houses. This writer has sunk just over 100 hours into the game so far and there’s at least another 50 hours to go.
DOOM 2016 is one of the so-called “Impossible ports” to hit the Switch. Despite a 30 frames-per-second cap, blurrier visuals and less-detailed textures, this is very much the entire DOOM 2016 experience. As a pure shooter, there’s nothing better on the Switch and this is of course the only way to play this game handheld and on the go.
DOOM 2016 is a ripping, tearing, demon-slaying slice of pure fun. If any of that sounds good to you (like the award-winning metal soundtrack) then buy this game today. Also, incidentally, Dooms 1,2 & 3 are also on the Switch, along with DOOM 64 and DOOM Eternal.
You can’t have a list of top Nintendo Switch games without having at least one Mario title. There are plenty of excellent titles featuring the famous Italian plumber, but only Mario Odyssey stands out as the one title to own.
Building on the revolutionary 3D Mario 64 game and the 3D Mario titles that followed, Odyssey shows Mario as you’ve never seen him before. He’s thrust into varied worlds, given incredible powers through a sentient hat that lets you possess enemies and objects.
The level designs are inspired, Mario controls like a dream and the game provides a substantial amount of gameplay. Especially if you’re a completionist collector. This is the pinnacle of 3D Mario game design and if you liked any 3D Marios, this one should be on your list too.
Cuphead is notable for a few reasons. First of all, it used to be a Microsoft exclusive, but is now on the Switch thanks to the weird friendship Nintendo and Microsoft seem to have developed. At least for now. The other reason this game is special is its unparalleled classic animation. If you’re a fan of classic “bendy” animation then Cuphead is going to appeal to you.
Finally, this game is known to be one of the most challenging titles out there,with a focus on boss battles and an excellent two-player mode. The story is essentially a “pay the devil his dues” yarn, where you have to defeat these bosses to save your own soul. Cuphead has plenty of old-school challenges and heaps of polished charms. If you’re not afraid of a little repeated death, Cuphead is an essential title.
