![<h3>The Top 25 Nintendo Switch Games</h3>
<p>Five years later and the Nintendo Switch continues to hold its own against the Xbox and PlayStation. If the little hybrid handheld has proven anything, it’s that a console is truly defined by what you can play on it. From Nintendo exclusives like Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey to Nindies like Chicory and Slay the Spire, choosing only 25 of the best Nintendo Switch games has proven to be difficult.<br />
<br /></br><br />
The list was assembled by the entire IGN content team and represents — after plenty of internal debate — what we think are the best games to enjoy on the Switch right now, whether you’re picking one up for the first time or have been a platform enthusiast since day one.” src=”https://assets-prd.ignimgs.com/2022/01/31/thumbnail-nintendobest-1643663727060.jpg?width=888&crop=16%3A9&quality=20&dpr=0.05″ class=”jsx-2920405963 progressive-image image jsx-294430442 rounded expand loading”></div>

<p>Unlike its <a href=]()
previous acquisition of Next Level Games (developer of Luigi’s Mansion 3 and the upcoming Mario Strikers: Battle League), SRD doesn’t develop its own games but instead assists in the programming of other studios’ titles.
This means it’s unlikely we’ll see major new announcements as a result of the acquisition; it will instead increase Nintendo’s development efficiency. No figure was shared regarding the cost of the move but Nintendo noted that “the acquisition will only have a minor effect on Nintendo’s results.”
The company said at the beginning of February that it wasn’t all that interested in acquiring third parties in the wake of Xbox’s acquisition of Activision Blizzard and Sony purchasing Bungie, as it preferred to build up its own development studios. President Shuntaro Furukawa said that any acquisitions would need to preserve ‘Nintendo DNA’ – something buying SRD almost certainly does.
SRD has been working with Nintendo since the NES and has since worked on close to 100 of its games across myriad consoles. In its earlier days, it assisted development on everything from the original NES version of Donkey Kong, Super Mario Bros., The Legend of Zelda. Most recently on Switch, it’s worked on games such as Animal Crossing: New Horizons and Ring Fit Adventure.
