Nintendo Switch对于给我们带来^{(The Nintendo Switch)}马里奥和路易吉^{(Mario and Luigi)}的公司来说是一个令人振奋的成功，但它在其他当代游戏机中处于一个奇怪的位置。虽然Switch受益于对最新游戏引擎和图形功能的支持，但它的原始马力是^(Switch)PS4甚至 Xbox One的一大步。

因此，大多数当代端口需要做出一些相当大的让步才能运行得足够好。与任何其他掌上游戏相比， Doom 2016和Mortal Kombat 11等游戏看起来令人惊叹，但与其他版本相比，技术上显然逊色。

然而， Switch比PlayStation 3、Xbox 360、Wii 甚至Wii U更强大。这使其成为该游戏机一代和^(Which)Wii U所 代表 的半步一代游戏的完美目标。

为了进入此列表，游戏必须：

• 在老一代系统^{(generation system)}上首次亮相。
• 受到好评。
• 最初没有被广泛播放。

所以你不会在这里找到像Skyrim这样的游戏，因为虽然它是上一代游戏，但它是有史以来最受欢迎的游戏之一。所以几乎没有人^{(chance anyone)}可能不知道它或错过了玩它。但是，您会在这里找到Wii U端口，因为几乎没有人购买该控制台，尽管它有一些出色的标题。

这些游戏是否在其他平台上获得了当前版本的端口也没关系。无一例外，Switch是唯一一款通过物理控制以手持形式提供这些游戏的游戏机。事实上，这些游戏中有许多更好^(better)，因为它们比原来的游戏主机更适合手持格式。

所以，这里有十款从前几代机器上移植的Switch游戏，你可能错过了，但^(Switch)今天应该完全有机会^{(chance today)}。

龙之教条：黑暗崛起^{(Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen)}

Dragon's Dogma最初是PS3 游戏^{(PS3 title)}，“Dark Arisen”版本包含该游戏的所有DLC。它由日本传奇开发商Capcom制作，为我们带来了《街头霸王》和《生化危机》^{(Street Fighter and Resident Evil)}等游戏。相当的血统。

然而， Dragon's Dogma在他们的马厩中是一个独特的头衔。这是日本人对西方RPG 公式^{(RPG formula)}的看法。那样的话，它有点类似于黑暗之魂^{(Dark Souls)}，但这是一个真正的天际或龙腾世纪^{(Skyrim or Dragon Age)}脉络的 开放世界角色扮演游戏^(RPG)。

你扮演“Arisen”，一个勇敢地抵抗龙攻击^{(dragon attack)}的渔夫（或女人） 。只是说龙^{(dragon rip)}把你的心掏出来吞下去。这最终没有听起来那么致命，你开始找回你丢失的股票，由于你的海滩心脏直视手术^{(heart surgery)}，运动了一些新的力量。

这里有很多RPG 游戏^(RPG)需要细细品味，但至关重要的是，战斗非常棒，将 Capcom 的动作游戏与广阔的开放世界RPG^{(RPG questing)}任务混合在一起。该游戏还为PS4 和 PC^{(PS4 and PC)}重新制作了游戏，您将在其中找到最好的图形。

然而，作为一款掌上游戏，根本没有这样的东西，如果你第一次错过了它，它应该非常接近你的愿望清单的顶部。

大神高清^{(Okami HD)}

Okami HD实际上是一个端口的一个端口。在PS2和Wii^{(PS2 and Wii)}上发布的原始游戏 ，充分利用后者的运动控制来控制游戏中的画笔，描绘世界。

在这两者中，Wii 版本^{(Wii version)}是可以玩的，这要归功于运动控制，但它在任何一个平台上都被认为是经典之作。该游戏在PS3、PS4 和 Xbox One上发布了^{(PS4 and Xbox One)}高清版本^{(HD release)}，但从今天开始就可以玩 Switch 版本。您不仅可以获得便携式选项，还可以按预期使用运动控制。

从视觉上看，游戏是惊人的。你以白狼的形式扮演名义上的日本神。^(Japan)世界已被诅咒，您将作为日本的^(Japan)太阳女神^{(sun goddess)}Amaterasu Kami来恢复枯竭的世界。这是一个沉浸在日本^(Japan)神话中的丰富故事。

Okami是一个广受好评的游戏，它从未在其发布平台上出售过很多副本。很难将它与其他任何东西进行比较，而独特性是它的主要卖点之一。

如果你想玩一款情节另类、视觉风格令人难忘的^{(offbeat plot)}动作冒险游戏^{(action adventure game)}，你需要给大神^(Okami)一个机会。

女武神编年史^{(Valkyria Chronicles)}

Valkyria Chronicles 是人们似乎在睡觉的另一个隐藏的宝石。当游戏最初在PS3上推出时，它的销量惨淡。奇怪的是，Steam上的PC 端口^{(PC port)}做得最好。在Switch^(Switch)移植之前已售出的 200 万份游戏中，有一半 在Steam上。

Valkyria Chronicles是一款 3D 回合制策略角色扮演游戏^(RPG)。设置^(Set)在另一个世界，你指挥一群军队在世界大战类型^{(World War type)}的场景中战斗，坦克、狙击手、火箭发射器等等。故事是游戏的重要组成部分，但其精美的图形、令人惊叹的配乐和动漫风格的角色共同构成了一个引人入胜的标题^{(compelling title)}。

奇怪的是，第一款游戏是该系列中唯一没有便携式版本的主线游戏。^{(mainline title)}第 2 和第 3 号都是索尼 PSP^{(Sony PSP)} 独占游戏，第四款游戏也可在Switch上使用。

如果您正在等待新的Fire Emblem 游戏^{(Fire Emblem game)}来解决 SRPG 之痒，那么您可以做的比拿起Valkyria Chronicles来渡过难关要糟糕得多。这是隐藏的宝石的定义。

黑洛杉矶^{(LA Noire)}

现在LA Noire是著名的^{(LA Noire)}Rockstar Studios在Switch上的唯一一款游戏。我们还没有看到任何侠盗猎车手游戏^{(Grand Theft Auto Games)}被移植，尽管考虑到他们的上一代版本， GTA 5和更早版本似乎都是可行的。^{(GTA 5)}

在Rockstar游戏的万神殿中，LA Noire有点奇怪，而且肯定不是GTA 或 Red Dead Redemption^{(GTA or Red Dead Redemption)}等主流热门^{(mainstream hit)}游戏。它也不像Bully那样晦涩难懂。这款游戏让您扮演 1950 年代侦探的角色，在精美重现的洛杉矶^{(Los Angeles)}时期解决一系列案件。游戏不像^{(game isn)}GTA那样开放世界 ，但它在穿越城市时肯定有一些范围。

然而，这款游戏最独特的功能是用于动画角色面部的面部捕捉技术。^{(capture technology)}每个人都由一个真正的演员扮演，他的脸是使用特殊设置扫描的。效果非常有趣，从那以后就再也没有类似的东西了。

考虑到您获得的内容量，该游戏具有出色的故事，独特的图形和相当不错的价格。如果你渴望一个煮熟的成人侦探故事，那么这就是你想要的。

Bayonetta 1 + 2

PlatinumGames 是一家以制作一些有史以来最紧凑的动作游戏而闻名的工作室。合金装备崛起^{(Gear Rising)}、变形金刚^{(Transformers)} 毁灭^{(Devastation)}和杰作Nier Automata 展示^{(Nier Automata showcase)}了他们在制作此类游戏方面的出色表现。

Bayonetta 只是Platinum Games 开发的第三款游戏，但它拥有代表其品牌的所有关键要素：出色的控制和动画、疯狂的定位和无情的动作。

该游戏在PS3 和 Xbox^{(PS3 and Xbox)} 360 上推出。它也来到了Windows 世界^{(Windows world)}。 猎天使魔女^(Bayonetta)和她的处女作^{(debut game)}总体上很受欢迎，但游戏从未达到过狂热的地位^{(cult status)}。由于种种原因，续集是Wii U独有的，这意味着该系列的粉丝大多错过了它。

现在Switch是获得续集的第二个平台，更新为现代标准。不仅如此，Bayonetta 3也被确认用于混合控制台。因此，您可以在一个地方随时随地拥有整个三部曲。因此，现在现代观众可以体验成为一个拥有数百年历史的变形女巫，正在浪费掉一群真正的坏人。

这里也有一个提示，值得购买Bayonetta 2的实体副本，因为它还包含第一款游戏的下载代码^{(download code)}。这几乎总是比单独购买数字下载便宜。

泰坦任务^{(Titan Quest)}

Switch收到了出色的《^(Switch)暗黑破坏神 3 》 ^{(Diablo 3)} ARPG的出色移植，并且很快将获得备受追捧的《火炬之光 2^{(Torchlight 2)} 》 。因此， hack and slash isometric^{(hack and slash isometric)} (ish) RPG^(RPGs)的粉丝已经有很多可玩的了，但是如果你看过去Titan Quest，你就会失职。《暗黑破坏神》和《火炬之光》共享开发者^{(Diablo and Torchlight share developers)}，并且这两个特许经营权都以更黑暗的幻想基调^{(darker fantasy tone)}进行交易。火炬之光^(Torchlight)有一个蒸汽朋克的焦点^{(steampunk focus)}，暗黑破坏神^(Diablo)陶醉在老式的圣经天堂和地狱的冲突^{(heaven and hell conflict)}中。

因此，尽管最初于 2006 年推出 PC，但 Titan Quest 是一股清新的空气。该游戏以希腊^(Greece)为背景，并在其背景和风格^{(setting and style)}上借鉴了 希腊神话^{(Greek mythology)}。除了《战神^(War)》^(God)游戏之外 ，很少有游戏能够耕耘这片肥沃的土壤。

游戏已经在各个平台进行了重制，甚至有安卓^(Android)和iOS端口，但Switch版^{(Switch version)}是最完整的便携版。有了重新构想的物理控制和移动版所缺乏的DLC 内容^{(DLC content)}，这里有很多适合ARPG粉丝的内容。

尽管年代久远，图形仍然看起来不错，并且具有适当的分屏合作，这意味着您和您的伙伴可以随心所欲地游荡。Titan Quest绝对是一款老式ARPG，但有时“老式”正是医生所要求的。

快速 RMX^{(Fast RMX)}

以悬停车辆为特色的赛车游戏 在游戏世界中^{(gaming world)}占有重要地位^{(niche presence)}。任天堂^(Nintendo)游戏机当然以F-Zero闻名， 而在Playstation 方面^{(Playstation side)}，我们有Wipeout游戏。

两者都是具有悠久历史和强大粉丝基础的系列，所以一个新的王冠觊觎者有很多事情要做。然而，当 Shin'en Multimedia在Wii U上发布Fast Racing Neo时，他们成功了。这是一款华丽、快速的赛车手，拥有详细的船只和在梦幻般的赛道上进行的激烈比赛。问题是，Wii U在安装基础上显得有点笨拙。

现在我们有了Fast RMX，这是原始游戏的扩展、调整和改进版本。在Switch上，游戏像黄油一样流畅，带有精彩的本地分屏合作启动。它是控制台上最好看的游戏之一，没有现代的 F-Zero 或Wipeout可抗衡，它很容易成为您今天可以买到的最好的新悬停赛车游戏。

最终幻想 12 – 十二生肖时代^{(Final Fantasy 12 – The Zodiac Age)}

最终幻想 12^{(Final Fantasy 12)}是另一款游戏，最初是PS2 端口^{(PS2 port)}，然后为PS4重新制作。现在我们为Switch 和 Xbox One^{(Switch and Xbox One)}提供了额外的端口。虽然最终幻想^{(Final Fantasy)}游戏通常是绝对的大片，但12 号^{(number 12)}有一些不利因素。

主要问题是它在PS2 生命^{(PS2 life)}周期的后期发布。距离PS3^(PS3)推出仅 8 个月。从某种角度来看，这款游戏的销量还不到《最终幻想 7^{(Final Fantasy 7)} 》销量的一半。

这是一个遗憾，因为它是一个真正的宝石。这款游戏比心爱的全声最终幻想 X^{(Final Fantasy X)}更加精致，将我们带回了 Ivalice。一个美丽的幻想世界^{(fantasy world)}，出现在被低估的流浪物语^{(Vagrant Story)}和出色的最终幻想^{(Final Fantasy)}战术：狮子之^(Lions)战^(War) 等游戏中。

重制版在模糊的PS2图形上创造了奇迹， FF 艺术风格和设计语言^{(FF art style and design language)}一如既往的强大。这个十二生肖版本^{(Age edition)}是游戏的最终版本，包含所有的生活质量改进、新的工作系统和游戏补丁^{(job system and patches)}。

在旅途中玩这款繁重的游戏是完美的选择，没有比这更好的方式来体验这个史诗般的星球大战奇幻^{(Star-Wars-y fantasy)}故事及其丰富多彩的角色，从一个看似邪恶的帝国中拯救一个勇敢的小王国. 如果你喜欢JRPG^(JRPGs)但错过了FF12，那么现在是时候扣动扳机了。

黑暗之魂重制^{(Dark Souls Remastered)}

你可能会惊讶地看到这个名单上的《黑暗之魂^{(Dark Souls)}》，因为这款游戏相当臭名昭著。然而，尽管大多数游戏玩家都知道该游戏的存在，但售出的副本并不多。原版《黑暗之魂》在PS3^(PS3)、Xbox 360 和 PC 版本上的销量不足 250 万份。所以这确实是很多人都错过的游戏。

现在有一个主线平台的重制版，还有一个令人惊讶的Switch端口。这是具有更多润色的原始游戏。许多人对游戏的难度感到厌烦，但实际上《黑暗之魂》^{(Dark Souls)}只是一款关于练习和计划的游戏，频繁的死亡是游戏循环^{(gameplay loop)}的正常部分。

转向手持设备实际上为游戏带来了很多^{(game plenty)}好处。只要你有几分钟的空闲时间，你就可以拿起这个黑暗幻想杰作的迭代循环播放，这意味着被 gank 并回到最后的^{(Dark Fantasy)}篝火^{(bonfire doesn)}并不会让人感到特别沮丧。这是一款美丽、残酷且非常有益的游戏。它也没有以全AAA 价格^{(AAA price)}出售，因此有很多理由考虑将其添加到您的Switch 系列^{(Switch collection)}中。

暗黑血统战帅版^{(Darksiders Warmastered Edition)}

Darksiders 可以在很多平台上使用，从PS3 和 Xbox^{(PS3 and Xbox)} 360 开始。尽管几乎可以在你能想到的每个平台上使用，但它的销量几乎没有超过一百万份。这^(Which)是令人惊讶的，因为它是一款如此出色的游戏。

你玩战争^(War)，天启的骑士。他搞砸了世界末日的时间，世界比它应该被更快地被破坏了。战争^(War)因此受到惩罚，尽管他坚持自己的清白。所以你开始试图找出一个 跨越多种类型的黑暗奇幻^{(dark fantasy)} 动作游戏出了什么问题。^{(action game)}

画风^{(art style)}图文酷炫，文笔严密，配音精湛。 尤其是扮演你的恶魔伙伴的马克·哈米尔的表演。^{(Mark Hamill)}动作很到位，感觉就像战争^(War)之神^(God)，混合了 大量的 3D塞尔达和鬼泣^{(Zelda and Devil May Cry)}。

这是“warmastered”版本，其中包括对性能和视觉效果^{(performance and visuals)}的重大升级。该系列的第二场比赛似乎也将前往Switch，第三场只是传闻将在那里跟进。

如果您喜欢老式的 3D塞尔达传说^(Zeldas)、DMC游戏或 Kratos 粗暴的谋杀狂潮，这肯定是您的Switch的首选。

10 Previous-Generation Nintendo Switch Ports You Might Have Missed

The Nintendo Switch has been a rousing success for the company that brought us Mario and Luigi, but it’s in a weird position among other current-generation consoles. While the Switch benefits from support for the latest game engines and graphical features, it’s raw horsepower is a major step down from the PS4 or even Xbox One.

So most current-gen ports need to make some pretty major concessions in order to run well enough. Games like Doom 2016 and Mortal Kombat 11 look amazing compared to any other handheld games, but are obviously technically inferior compared to the other versions.

The Switch is however more powerful than the PlayStation 3, Xbox 360, Wii and even the Wii U. Which makes it the perfect target for games from that console generation and the half-step generation the Wii U represented.

In order to be on this list a game has to:

• Debut on an older generation system.
• Be well-received critically.
• Not have been as widely played originally.

So you aren’t going to find a game like Skyrim here, because although it is a previous-generation game, it’s one of the most popular games ever made. So there’s almost no chance anyone might have not known about it or missed playing it. You will however find Wii U ports here, because hardly anyone bought that console, despite it having some stellar titles.

It also doesn’t matter if these games have received current-gen ports on other platforms. Without exception, the Switch is the only console to offer these games in handheld form with physical controls. In fact, many of these titles are better because they fit the handheld format more comfortably than their original console homes.

So, here are ten Switch games that were ported from previous generations machines you might have missed, but should totally give a chance today.

Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen

Dragon’s Dogma was originally a PS3 title and the “Dark Arisen” version includes all the DLC for that game. It’s made by Capcom, the legendary Japanese developer that has brought us games like Street Fighter and Resident Evil. Quite a pedigree.

Dragon’s Dogma is a unique title in their stable however. It’s a Japanese take on the Western RPG formula. In that way, it’s somewhat similar to Dark Souls, but this is a proper open-world RPG in the vein of Skyrim or Dragon Age.

You play as the “Arisen”, a fisherman (or woman) who bravely stands up to a dragon attack. Only to have said dragon rip out your heart and swallow it. This ends up being less fatal than it sounds and you set off to retrieve your missing ticker, sporting some new powers as a result of your beachside open heart surgery.

There’s a lot of RPG to chew through here, but crucially the combat is fantastic, mixing Capcom’s action gaming chops with vast open-world RPG questing. The game has also been remastered for PS4 and PC, where you’ll find the nicest graphics.

However, as a handheld game there’s simply nothing like this and if you missed out the first time it should be pretty close to the top of your wishlist.

Okami HD

Okami HD is actually a port of a port. The original game released on the PS2 and Wii, making great use of the latter’s motion controls to control an in-game brush that paints the world.

Of the two, the Wii version is the one to play thanks to the motion controls, but it was considered a classic on either platform. The game got an HD release on the PS3, PS4 and Xbox One, but the Switch version is the one to play as of today. Not only do you get the portable option, but you can use motion controls as intended.

Visually, the game is striking. You play as the titular Japanese god, in the form of a white wolf. The world has been cursed and it’s up to you as Amaterasu Kami, the sun goddess of Japan, to restore the drained world. It’s a rich tale steeped in Japanese mythology.

Okami is a critically acclaimed title that never sold many copies on its launch platforms. It’s hard to compare it to anything else and that uniqueness is one of its major selling points.

If you want to play an action adventure game with an offbeat plot and an unforgettable visual style, you need to give Okami a chance.

Valkyria Chronicles

Valkyria Chronicles is another hidden gem that people seemed to sleep on. When the game originally launched on the PS3 its sales were dismal. Oddly enough, it was the PC port on Steam that’s done the best. Half of the two million copies of the game that have been sold prior to the Switch ports have been on Steam.

Valkyria Chronicles is a 3D, turn-based strategy RPG. Set in an alternative world, you command a group of troops fighting in a World War type scenario, with tanks, snipers, rocket launchers and so on. The story is quite a strong part of the game, but its beautiful graphics, amazing soundtrack and anime-style characters add up to one compelling title.

Strangely enough, the first game is the only mainline title in the series not to have a portable release. Numbers 2 and 3 were both Sony PSP exclusives, with the fourth game also available on Switch.

If you’re waiting on the new Fire Emblem game to scratch that SRPG itch, you could do far worse than picking up Valkyria Chronicles to tide you over. It’s the very definition of a hidden gem.

LA Noire

Right now LA Noire is the only game from fame Rockstar Studios on the Switch. We are yet to see any of the Grand Theft Auto Games ported, although GTA 5 and older all seem feasible consider their previous-generation releases.

In the pantheon of Rockstar games, LA Noire is a bit of an odd duck and certainly not a mainstream hit like GTA or Red Dead Redemption. Nor is it quite as obscure as Bully. This game puts you in the shoes of a 1950s detective, solving a series of cases in a beautifully recreated period Los Angeles. The game isn’t open world in the same way that GTA is, but it certainly has some of that scope when traversing the city.

The most unique feature of this game is however the facial capture technology used to animate character faces. Everyone is played by a real actor whose face was scanned using a special setup. The effect is very interesting and there has been nothing like it since.

The game has a great story, unique graphics and a pretty good price given how much content you get. If you’re itching for a hard-boiled, adult detective story then this is the one to go for.

Bayonetta 1 + 2

PlatinumGames is a studio that has made a name for itself crafting some of the tightest action games ever made. Metal Gear Rising, Transformers Devastation and the utter masterpiece Nier Automata showcase just how good they are at making games in this genre.

Bayonetta was only the third game ever developed by Platinum games, but it has all the key ingredients that would come to represent their brand: fantastic controls and animation, bonkers set-pieces and relentless action.

The game launched on PS3 and Xbox 360. It also came to the Windows world. Bayonetta and her debut game were pretty well-received overall, but the game never reached more than cult status. For various reasons, the sequel was exclusive to the Wii U, which meant fans of the franchise mostly missed out on it.

Now the Switch is the second platform to get the sequel, updated to modern standards. Not only this, but Bayonetta 3 is confirmed for the hybrid console. So you can have the entire trilogy in one place and on the go. So now a modern audience can experience being a centuries-old shape shifting witch laying waste to a literal army of bad guys.

Here’s a tip as well, it’s worth buying the physical copy of Bayonetta 2, since it included the download code for the first game as well. This is almost always cheaper than buying the digital downloads separately.

Titan Quest

The Switch received a fantastic port of the stellar Diablo 3 ARPG and will soon get the cult-hit Torchlight 2. So fans of hack and slash isometric(ish) RPGs have plenty to play already, but you’d be remiss in looking past Titan Quest. Diablo and Torchlight share developers and both franchises trade in a darker fantasy tone. Torchlight has a steampunk focus, with Diablo revelling in old-school biblical heaven and hell conflict.

Titan Quest is therefore a breath of fresh air, despite originally launching for PC in 2006. The game is set in Greece and draws on Greek mythology for its setting and style. Apart from the God of War games, few titles have tilled this fertile soil.

The game has received a remaster on various platforms and even has Android and iOS ports, but the Switch version is the most complete portable version. With reimagined physical controls and the DLC content that the mobile version lacks, there’s a lot of content here for ARPG fans.

The graphics still look pretty good despite its age and this has proper split-screen co-op, which means you and your buddy can wander wherever you like. Titan Quest is definitely an old-school ARPG, but sometimes “old-school” is exactly what the doctor ordered.

Fast RMX

Racing games that feature vehicles that hover have a strong niche presence in the gaming world. Nintendo consoles are of course known for F-Zero and on the Playstation side of things we have the Wipeout games.

Both are series with a long history and strong fan bases, so a new pretender to the crown has a lot to accomplish. Yet, when Shin’en Multimedia released Fast Racing Neo on the Wii U, they nailed it. This is a gorgeous, fast racer featuring detailed ships and pulse-pounding racing on fantastic tracks. The problem is that the Wii U turned out to be a bit of a dud when it came to the install base.

Now we have Fast RMX, an expanded, tweaked and improved version of the original game. On the Switch the game plays as smooth as butter, with wonderful local split-screen coop to boot. It’s one of the best looking games on the console and without a contemporary F-Zero or Wipeout to contend with, it’s easily the best new hover racing title you can buy today.

Final Fantasy 12 – The Zodiac Age

Final Fantasy 12 is another game that was originally a PS2 port and then got remastered for the PS4. Now we have additional ports for Switch and Xbox One. While Final Fantasy games are usually absolute blockbusters, number 12 had some things counting against it.

The main issue was that it released very late in the PS2 life cycle. A mere eight months before the PS3 launched. For some perspective, this game sold fewer than half the copies that Final Fantasy 7 did.

Which is a pity, because it’s a real gem. Much more polished than the beloved, fully-voiced Final Fantasy X, this game takes us back to Ivalice. A beautiful fantasy world seen in games like the very underrated Vagrant Story and the excellent Final Fantasy Tactics: War of the Lions.

The remaster has worked wonders with the fuzzy PS2 graphics with the FF art style and design language as strong as ever. This Zodiac Age edition is the definitive version of the game, containing all the quality of life improvements, new job system and patches for the game.

Taking this grind-heavy game on the go is the perfect fit and there’s never been a better way to experience this epic Star-Wars-y fantasy tale and its colorful cast of characters, out to save a plucky little kingdom from a seemingly evil empire. If you like JRPGs but missed out on FF12, the time to pull the trigger is now.

Dark Souls Remastered

You might be surprised to see Dark Souls on this list, because the game is rather infamous. Yet, although most gamers are aware of the game’s existence, not that many copies have been sold. The original Dark Souls has sold fewer than 2.5 million copies across the PS3, Xbox 360 and PC versions. So it really is a game that plenty of people have missed out on.

Now there’s a remastered edition for the mainline platforms, with a surprising port for the Switch as well. This is the original game with quite a bit more polish. Many people were put off by the game’s perceived difficulty, but actually Dark Souls is simply a game about practicing and planning, with frequent deaths being a normal part of the gameplay loop.

The move to handheld actually does the game plenty of favors. You can pick up and play an iterative loop of this Dark Fantasy masterpiece whenever you have a few minutes to spare, which means getting ganked and returning to the last bonfire doesn’t feel particularly frustrating. This is a beautiful, brutal and very rewarding game. It’s not being sold at the full AAA price either, so there are plenty of reasons to consider adding it to your Switch collection.

Darksiders Warmastered Edition

Darksiders is available on quite a few platforms, starting with the PS3 and Xbox 360. Despite being on just about every platform you can think of, it’s barely sold more than a million copies. Which is surprising since it’s such a good game.

You play War, the horseman of the apocalypse. He messes up the timing of the end times and the world gets trashed much sooner than it should have been. War is punished for this, although he maintains his innocence. So you set out trying to figure out what went wrong in a dark fantasy action game that spans multiple genres.

The art style is graphic novel cool, the writing is tight and the voice acting superb. Especially the performance from Mark Hamill, who plays your demon companion. The action is spot on and feels like God of War with a good dose of 3D Zelda and Devil May Cry mixed in.

This is the “warmastered” edition, which includes significant upgrades to performance and visuals. The second game in the series also looks to be heading to Switch, with the third merely rumoured to follow it there.

If you like the old-school 3D Zeldas, the DMC games or Kratos’ gruff murder sprees, this is surely a title to get for your Switch.
