9 Best Nintendo Switch Games You're Not Playing

5. Cave Story

Hands-down one of the best side-scrolling shooters ever conceived - yet one only a fraction of the populace have played - Cave Story is incredibly deep mechanically, has a surprisingly emotional, dark story and the tightest controls this side of Mario.

Best played by discovering its many surprises and item-based secrets yourself, know that Cave Story's gameplay is a mix of Metroid-style claustrophobia and Castlevania's world design, with quick, arcade shooting keeping you entertained.

The sort of title that soars on the Switch thanks to being an entire world in your pocket, Cave Story is a perfect bridge between now and the return of Metroid this September.
