The Switch eShop has thousands of games, and it’s easy for brilliant titles to get buried. We asked our team to share their favorite under-the-radar picks — the games they can’t stop recommending to customers.
Alex’s Pick: Celeste
“Celeste is a masterpiece disguised as a simple platformer. The controls are pixel-perfect, the difficulty curve is challenging but fair, and the story about anxiety and self-acceptance genuinely moved me. The Assist Mode means anyone can experience it. If you play one indie game this year, make it this one.”
Sarah’s Pick: Return of the Obra Dinn
“A logic puzzle game where you’re an insurance investigator determining the fate of everyone aboard a ghost ship. The 1-bit art style is hauntingly beautiful, and the ‘eureka’ moments when you crack a difficult identification are unmatched. Unlike anything else I’ve ever played.”
Marcus’s Pick: Hades
“Supergiant knocked it out of the park. The combat is tight and endlessly varied, the story unfolds brilliantly through the roguelike structure, and the characters are some of the most well-written in any game. I’ve done over 100 runs and I’m still finding new dialogue.”
Priya’s Pick: Outer Wilds
“I wish I could erase my memory and play Outer Wilds again for the first time. It’s a game about exploring a solar system that’s stuck in a 22-minute time loop, and every discovery feels genuinely earned. Go in blind — don’t read anything about it, just play it.”
All of these are available on the Nintendo eShop. Grab an eShop gift card from our store to get started!
