3. Hotline Miami Collection

The well-known and beloved top-down action titles Hotline Miami and Hotline Miami 2 will grace the Nintendo Switch in the form of the Hotline Miami Collection. From Devolver Digital and Dennaton Games, both games will feature the same retro-graphics and gory gameplay that won them their success. While the sequel didn’t fare as well as the original, both will bring retro-enthusiasts a fun time an will fit right at home on the Switch. The Hotline Miami Collection is available now for the Nintendo Switch.

2. SUPERHOT

SUPERHOT Team’s unique FPS of similar name has finally found its way to the Nintendo Switch. SUPERHOT combines strategic gameplay with complete chaos with the use of its time-pausing mechanic. Time only moves when the player moves, allowing them to plan out their next action among the mayhem that is each level. The challenge rises even more with a lack of ammo drops and health meters, meaning one shot can kill you instantly. With the stylish graphics and well-thought-out level design, fans of the Shooter genre will have a nice change of pace from the norm. SUPERHOT is currently available to download on the Nintendo Switch.

1. Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition

Rumors of Ori and the Blind Forest coming to the Nintendo Switch go back for months now, but doesn’t make the reveal any less exciting. Developed by Moon Studios, this Metroidvania follows Ori, a Light Spirit who must save the Forest of Nibel from the impending darkness, while also learning the secrets of his home and origins. The game received both critical and financial acclaim upon its initial release, so a Switch port seems like the logical next step. This version of the title will include all DLC and “numerous new features” exclusive to the Switch. This, along with other Xbox exclusives such as Cuphead and Super Lucky’s Tale, should only prove that Microsoft and Nintendo’s partnership continues to grow strong. Ori and the Blind Forest: Definitive Edition will release on the Nintendo Switch on September 27th, 2019.
