The Nintendo Switch is changing the way avid gamers play their favorite games, plus more. Well, aside from playing games, this console, believe it or not, can also be used to watch TV shows, voice chat with friends, and listen to music. You can also play games with your friends.
But beyond those, perhaps another thing that makes the Nintendo Switch stand out is the catalog of games available, covering practically every genre. First-person shooters or FPS games are definitely no exception.
First-person shooters are a genre or type of video game that basically has the player aiming and shooting at targets. Additionally, players see the graphics from their viewpoint as the shooter.
Are you tinkering around and finding out which FPS games are the best to play on your Nintendo Switch? Here’s a list.
1. ‘Metroid Prime Remastered’
To be able to play one of Nintendo’s heroes, Samus Aran, from a first-person perspective finally became possible in “Metroid Prime.” But, this time, you can reenter Aran’s power suit and utilize its full abilities to hunt the Chozo species on Tallon IV in “Metroid Prime Remastered.”
It fairly competes with today’s wave of alluring remakes like “Resident Evil 4” and “Dead Space.”
This remastered “Metroid Prime” game has completely modified the mechanics and aesthetics, veering away from the third-person Metroidvania platformer roots toward a fast-paced FPS laden with puzzles and target lock-on. Thus, you get a game in a more updated fashion. Perfect and deserves to be loved.
2. ‘DOOM’
The next game on the list is “DOOM,” and we certainly can’t finish this story without mentioning this.
Developed by id Software – the studio that gave birth to the FPS genre and behind the popular multiplayer Deathmatch – “DOOM” is brutally fun, featuring relentless demons and insanely destructive guns for intense, first-person combat, whether you are defeating hordes of demons through Hell’s depths in single-player mode, or competing against your buddies in its various multiplayer modes. This game allows you to use your weapons to beat Hell’s raging demon hordes.
3. ‘BioShock: The Collection’
It is rare to find the marriage of alternate history and dystopia in games, but if you are a passionate fan of this, “BioShock: The Collection” will provide you with what you want.
“BioShock: The Collection” is actually a compilation of “BioShock” video games, from the development of Blind Squirrel Games and from the publication of 2K Games.
This particular game features upgraded versions of “BioShock” and “BioShock 2,” as well as “BioShock Infinite,” attributed with brand-new textures, as well as support for higher resolution displays and framerates.
4. ‘Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus’
While the graphical downgrade of this game on Nintendo Switch is noticeable, that doesn’t tarnish the fact “Wolfenstein II: The New Colossus” stands as the best narrative single-player FPS game you can experience on the video game console.
Moreover, it may also haave a lack of a multiplayer mode, but it still has a story brilliantly written and action so intense that playing this alongside “DOOM” is a magical experience. Don’t miss William Joseph “B.J.” Blazkowicz’s war versus the Third Reich while you play this game.
5. ‘Prodeus’
Meanwhile, “Prodeus” will transport you back to the old FPS games as this game is re-imagined with the use of modern rendering techniques and technology. But, you’ll experience the quality of a modern AAA game, fused with retro aesthetics and gameplay that still invoke the features of older hardware.
Specifically, this game features a handcrafted campaign from the veterans of the FPS industry, as well as co-op and competitive multiplayer modes banking on classic modes, a fully integrated level editor, and a community map browser built-in for instantaneous action combined with almost limitless playing levels. Be prepared to paint the walls red. This is the FPS you have been waiting for.
6. ‘Crysis Remastered Trilogy’
Alright, this time, we’re talking about FPS games with scenic views and special suits. Make these possible with “Crysis Remastered Trilogy” on Nintendo Switch.
Taking its cue from the original that was launched in 2007, this new version offers a more stylish charm and outstanding graphics to the hostile soldier and Lingshan Islands known to be infested with aliens.
Here, you play as Nomad, the nano-suited soldier. You can then use your invisibility to strategically chase enemies and cause tons of environmental damage with your weapons. It’s a game that combines sci-fi with the military shooter genre. Of course, the Ceph aliens are here.
7. ‘Immortal Redneck’
Another must-play FPS on Nintendo Switch is “Immortal Redneck.” Don’t mind its negligible audio and visual issues, this game is an absolute blast.
It combines its well-crafted room design with maps randomly generated, providing players the capacity to smoothly sprint, leap, and blast through those maps with the grace of their weapons while constantly enhancing their capabilities. Together, this offers a massively satisfying experience that you’ll play this tomorrow again.
8. ‘Bright Memory: Infinite’
Another feature that makes FPS games stunning is their futuristic settings, such as what you’ll find in “Bright Memory: Infinite,” which takes place in the 2030s. See the world in this time with this game.
Apart from its riveting graphics and gameplay visuals, this hybrid sequel to and remake expansion of “Bright Memory: Episode One” also features melee combat, where players can parry bullets and juggle opponents with a second sword weapon. Whoa.
Here, you play as Shelia Tan, an agent of the Supernatural Science Research Organization, summoned to the field after a strange worldwide weather event. Her investigation also finds you in a battle against enemy soldier units and ancient gigantic bosses amid mesmerizing natural landscapes. Of course, you’ll have an exosuit that will grant you more superpowers.
Whatever world, whatever time, and whatever gameplay you are looking for, you can find them on Nintendo Switch’s swarm of FPS games. Those in the mood for some bang bang should give these games a try.
