Best games to play on Switch OLED NintendoNintendo\u2019s Switch OLED is finally here \u2013 but what are the best games that take advantage of the bigger, brighter screen? Nintendo\u2019s new Switch OLED may have been lacking in 4K output, but its larger, brighter display is breathing new life into games that have been around since the console launched in 2017. That\u2019s because colors have never looked better than they have on the Switch OLED, and while our review will follow in the coming days, it can\u2019t be understated how much of a difference that new display makes. If you\u2019ve just got yourself a new console, or are looking for a reason to pick one up, here are some games that look at their best on the Switch OLED. Contents The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild – Daemon X Machina – Metroid Dread – Super Smash Bros. Ultimate – Hollow Knight – Katana Zero – Astral Chain – Monster Hunter Rise – Pokemon Sword and Shield – The best games to play on your new Switch OLED The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Sure, if you\u2019ve got a Nintendo Switch, there\u2019s a good chance you\u2019ve already played Breath of the Wild. On the Switch OLED, though, it\u2019s that little bit more engrossing. Hyrule\u2019s plains have never looked more verdant, its mountains have never felt more uninhabitable, and the bigger screen makes it feel like an entire world on your handheld device even more than before. Daemon X Machina While you may have played Breath of the Wild, you may have missed this mecha-style action game when it launched. Offering customizable giant robots duking it out across a desolate Earth, Daemon X Machina\u2019s penchant for crimson red and flashy explosions makes it a perfect fit for your Switch OLED. Metroid Dread Launching alongside the Switch OLED, it\u2019d be fair to say Metroid Dread, a game that\u2019s been years in the making, represents a great reason to upgrade your console hardware. Planet ZDR is full of small details and touches, and whether Samus is sprinting through environments fleeing from robotic pursuers or trying to blast a path through its labyrinthine world, the Switch OLED relishes every missile, counter, and epic boss encounter. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Thoughts on Sora\u2019s imminent arrival aside, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is a must-play on whichever Switch you own \u2013 but the Switch OLED feels like the best place for it. Fights are easier to follow, and if you\u2019ve spent any time in tabletop mode on your regular Switch then it cannot be understated how much the larger display helps when playing against friends. Hollow Knight Hollow Knight is an indie darling, but it\u2019s not the most colorful of adventures. Instead, Hollow Knight highlights the deeper blacks possible of the Switch OLED. Hallowsnest has never looked darker or more mysterious, all without losing any of its detail or allure. Now, where\u2019s Silksong? Katana Zero This 2D action-platformer gets a whole new life on Switch OLED, thanks to its vibrant colors, lightning-fast gameplay, and an incredible soundtrack that really helps show off the console\u2019s improved stereo speakers. Slowing time, slicing through enemies, and dying over and over again has never looked so good. Astral Chain Platinum Games\u2019s oft-forgotten Switch exclusive is another title well worth a reply on the Switch OLED. Set in a bizarre parallel Tokyo where monsters are popping out of another dimension, players take control of a special police force that battles these \u2018Chimera\u2019 while being bonded to monsters of their very own. Flashy effects and a dark, cyberpunk-infused world make this a must-play on your new Switch. Monster Hunter Rise Fight big monsters, carve them up, and use them as weapons against other big monsters \u2013 Monster Hunter\u2019s core gameplay loop has never been more refined than it is in Monster Hunter Rise.

Pokemon Sword and Shield Sure, it might have drawn plenty of ire from the fanbase when it launched, but the Sword and Shield generation of Pokemon has its moments. The Galar region absolutely pops off of the screen on the Switch OLED, and the Isle of Armor DLC, in particular, looks great. So, there you have it \u2013 the best games to play on your shiny new Switch OLED. Which will you jump into first?<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
