Diablo 3 has evolved into one of the greatest games of its genre, and the added portable factor here arguably makes this the best version to pick up, so long as you’re not a mouse-and-keyboard PC purist. It not only works, but looks and plays amazingly too, making it one of the best Nintendo Switch games you can buy. The Switch has done it again, with developer Blizzard cramming every improvement and piece of added content into this handheld version of the game. Two excellent expansion packs and a host of game-improving tweaks later, Diablo 3 is not only a contender for the title of the greatest dungeon crawler of all time but, somehow, it’s now portable, too. After a rocky start on PC way back in May of 2012 that saw online server crashes and criticism of the series’ famed addictive loot cycle, the game was overhauled in time for a last-gen console version in 2013 and a current-gen release on Xbox One and PS4 in 2014.

You'll want to keep this page bookmarked, then, especially as we'll be regularly updating this list as more hotly-anticipated upcoming games release, with the likes of Breath of the Wild 2, Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3 among the titles we expect to join our list this year. That means whether you’re playing on the original Nintendo Switch, the upgraded Switch OLED or its handheld-only counterpart, the Switch Lite, then this selection of essential Switch games is for you. It's worth noting, however, that many of the local co-op games on our list won't offer the same experience on the Switch Lite, which is more suited to single-player experiences.
