10 Essential Nintendo Switch Games Every New Owner Must Play

2. Minecraft: Nintendo Switch Edition

If there's any sweeter concept that having an infinitely experimental world of building blocks at your fingertips, I've not heard of it.

Though Minecraft has exploded into this world-dominating phenomenon of digital Lego - one even the copycat Lego Worlds couldn't touch - getting it on the Switch means all that custom-built/survival/zombie-slaying/cave-diving goodness fits perfectly.

The Switch's instant-on resuming of gameplay means you can casually build your masterwork across an afternoon, or dock and hunker down for a night of crafting and smelting, ready for the day ahead. This Switch Edition comes with tons of Nintendo trimmings including Mario universe costumes, a Bowser pirate ship, Toads and Goombas populating the land, but that Minecraft goodness is still here, and better than ever.
