With the World Cup now in progress. It’s simple to play football games on the Nintendo Switch if you’re a fan. From real-world encounters with some of the largest clubs to outrageous interpretations of the sport.

Mario Strikers: Battle League Football. Create a Mushroom Kingdom all-star team. In Strike, a 5v5 game akin to football where everything goes, Mario and his friends compete against one another.

Fifa 23 Legacy Edition. Football in the real world on the Nintendo Switch. includes the most recent kits, teams, and squads from some of the world’s finest leagues. Women’s clubs are added for the first time.

Rocket League. Play the fast-paced combination of soccer in an arcade and carnage. Although there is no referee and no offside rule to worry about, the game is still played using airborne rocket cars in place of players.

The latest addition to the Nintendo Switch Online Subscription service is ‘Missions’ and ‘Rewards’.

When accessing the section, you will see available missions related to things you’re probably already doing as part of your subscription. By participating in these missions, you’ll earn yourself platinum points. These can then be redeemed for items in the Nintendo store as usual, but in addition, there will be new member-exclusive icon elements for you to collect and create new user icons. There will be a different theme each month, and each and every week, the icon elements will be refreshed. 

Nintendo does warn that there may be a delay between completed missions and points showing in your account, particularly during busy periods, so if they don’t show straight away, check back later. 

Let’s look back at some of the best games on the Nintendo Wii in 2021.

We all know that playing sports is the best way to exercise and increase your mood. Nintendo tapped into this when they created Wii Sports. Play one of five sporting events, from Bowling to Boxing, with fun interactive features.

Nickelodeon Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles

Survival game Stranded Deep, which was initially released in 2015, has surprised Switch e-shop users by showing up on the storefront today, 31 August 2021.

The game appeared on Playstation 4 and Xbox One last year but the developer did not announce or reveal its plan until the game showed up.

The game allows players to experience terrifying encounters to test their survival skills.

The backstory of the game is that you were in a mysterious plane crash and you are stranded in the Pacific Ocean.  You are alone and cannot call for help.  You must build, craft, survive and escape the ocean. 

You can explore underwater and on land, you find to hunt for supplies, craft tools and build yourself a shelter.

This surprise launch has certainly not given gamers any time to research the game, but we are sure that you will enjoy the game anyway.

2020 was a very strange year for all of us due to the worldwide pandemic, we saw fewer games released than we usually would see in a normal year, but we did see quite a few big releases from Nintendo last year for switch games.

We saw the release of Super Mario Bros. 35, Hades, Streets of Rage 4, Super Mario 3d All-stars and one of the best games to date Animal Crossing: New Horizons. So, we have had some pretty epic games to sink our teeth into last year. Are we expecting the same this year? We have put together a list of the top 5 games that are due to be released this year.
