Side-Scrollers – Perfect for the Switch
Side-scrolling games are perfect for the Switch for one simple reason—screen real estate isn’t important for this particular genre. Early reviews of the Switch have made mention of the small screen size for the hybrid console when using it as a handheld device but side-scrollers don’t require large screens to enjoy. That’s the exact reason why side-scrollers have also found a ton of success on the mobile game market. Imagine yourself lying on the couch after a long day and playing Super Mario Run on your new Nintendo Switch (again… this hasn’t actually been announced by Nintendo but it just seems like a great idea). Either way, the small screen doesn’t get in the way of gameplay on a side-scroller and having the option to also run that game on a larger screen is just an added bonus.
