Since its release on March 3, 2017, the Nintendo Switch Has compiled quite a library of games. Some are Nintendo exclusiveWhile others can be found on other platforms and systems. Although many popular AAA and well-known titles are available, there are even More indie games. Players also have the choice of purchasing physical copies or digital.
Not all Switch players are sure whether the game will run smoothly on the Switch, which may deter them from buying.
