PS4 vs. Xbox One vs. Switch: Best Exclusives in Q4 2018

After the lightning hot start to its lifecycle, Nintendo was always going to struggle to follow-up on Switch’s brilliant year-one. The line-up over those twelve months, which included critically acclaimed Zelda and Mario games, will go down in history as one of the best in the publisher’s history.

But if 2018 has been a case of “second-year syndrome” for the Nintendo Switch, it’s hardly been very severe.

While the year started off slow, the console’s Q4 has been absolutely brilliant, with three terrific exclusives further bolstering a catalog of games, which, remarkably, support a console less than two years old.

The big highlights, of course, were Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee, and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Both of which mark the return of two Nintendo/Nintendo-affiliated properties that have long been among the most popular franchises the publishers’ modern era.

Pokemon Let’s Go is a wonderful reimagination of a game that many will have grown up playing, now enhanced with gorgeous graphics and new mechanics that tie-in to the popular mobile Go series.

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is quite simply the best Smash Bros. game ever made, with an absurdly massive roster of characters and streamlined gameplay that draws on elements of the series’ most beloved entries. Save for the slightly dicey online play, it’s been a massive hit among critics and fans alike.

Notable Switch Q4 Exclusives:

  • Super Mario Party
  • Pokemon Let’s Go Pikachu/Eevee
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
