The Nintendo Switch launched with only 12 games available, and while the newest Zelda for some is worth the $300 purchase, not everyone shares this enthusiasm. In an effort to combat this general feeling of apathy towards their newest brand, Nintendo has been rapidly releasing a number of first and third-party titles for the Switch.
