Over the last 6 years, the Nintendo Switch has gotten some amazing games. The Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Super Smash Bros. Ultimate are two of the biggest Nintendo games. And it’s these games that people buy Nintendo Switch for. However, there’s a bunch of other games which are actually really good, but unfortunately go under the radar.

In this context, sleeper hits are games which aren’t recognized initially. It could be for reasons like poor marketing, or not enough hype. However, once fans get wind of such titles, they end up being surprise hits. Nintendo Switch has no shortage of such sleeper hits that have surprised fans with their quality and content. For fans willing to try something new and different on their Nintendo Switch consoles, here’s a list.

This collection includes pretty much every big Castlevania game that launched for the GBA. There’s no denying the fact that some of this series’ best titles launched on Nintendo’s small handheld console. For those curious, the collection includes Castlevania: Circle of the Moon, Castlevania: Harmony of Dissonance, Castlevania: Aria of Sorrow, and Castlevania: Dracula X.

Currently available for just $11.99, this collection really holds a lot of value.

Tangledeep

Nowadays, everyone is swooning over Sea of Stars for its modern depiction of games like Chrono Cross. Meanwhile, Tangledeep is a game that would remind everyone of Chrono Trigger. Great retro-style visuals, a deep job system, and an excellent Diablo-esque loot system.

This game will not let you down, and it does not take very long to grow on you.

Immortal Redneck

The reason this game got so popular was because of its old-school 3D shooter-style visuals. It’s a very fast-paced shooter that is somewhat inspired by Doom. Players simply go around shooting their enemies in the face in 60FPS.

While Doom and Doom Eternal on Switch are good, this game’s frame rate alone would make you forget them.

Golf Story

Not everyone cares for games that have a sport at their center. However, Golf Story dared to change people’s perspective on such games by introducing them to a golfer, and giving him a very heartfelt story and making the golf minigame fun.

This is all the game has to offer: an RPG-like story and occasional gold matches. Yet the game combines them in such a way that people would not want to stop playing.
