Currently, The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild is considered as one of the best games on the Nintendo Switch, but this year could be different with the new releases coming this year that could potentially be just as good or even better.
Since its first release, the Nintendo Switch has become a big success, even attracting non-fans of Nintendo consoles through the combination of first-party games and the selection of third party games such as Fortnite or Stardew Valley. Throughout the years, the Nintendo Switch amassed a vast number of games available to be purchased.
CGMagazine compiled a full list of upcoming games for the Nintendo Switch and their expected release dates throughout the remainder of this year.
