Top 10 Best Nintendo Games of 2017, According to Metacritic

Splatoon 2 – 83

Best 2017 Nintendo Games on Metacritic

Splatoon is one of the freshest IPs from Nintendo, both in terms of style and how long it’s been around. The original game was a smash hit on the Wii U, and its unique brand of shooting gameplay mixed with inking turf is still unlike any other shooter out there on the market. With Splatoon 2, Nintendo delivered the Switch’s very first big online shooter, and it didn’t disappoint for the most part. With new additions like the Salmon Run horde-like mode, as well as a batch of new weapons and abilities, the game managed to improve over its predecessor.

Splatoon 2 garnered an 83 on Metacritic out of 100 critics, which puts it two points above the first game. Fan score is above that with an 8.5 based on 614 ratings.
