5 Games That Have Been Critical to The Nintendo Switch’s Early Success
If there’s one thing that divides to Nintendo Switch from the Wii U, it’s third-party support. Nintendo has always been a bit finicky when it comes to third-party games on their consoles, but it seems like the Switch has been a big turning point for the company. In just last year, we’ve seen a good handful of amazing titles from developers such as Bethesda, Capcom, Ubisoft, Square Enix, and Nippon Ichi Software.
One particular game that really stood out from the third-party crowd was none other than Skyrim. Yes, we’re well aware that Skyrim is a seven-year-old game that ran on the PS3, but you can’t deny the convenience that comes with the Nintendo Switch’s portability. Having Skyrim on the go was a huge game changer, letting you take the adventure wherever you go. More importantly, however, was the fact that running an enhanced version of Skyrim on the Nintendo Switch is a good sign for the console. Bethesda’s role-playing game on the Switch was a solid step towards building a better third-party library and proved that the console was more than capable of running demanding games, even in tablet form.
In fact, Bethesda’s been a solid Nintendo Switch supporter since porting over DOOM and Skyrim. Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus is slated to arrive later this month, and it seems like we can expect more games in the future.
