Square has been supporting the system ever since the big reveal of Octopath Traveler back in January 2017. They even created an entire game development division focused solely on Switch games. We got everything from major multiplats like Nier Automata and Crisis Core Reunion to console exclusives like Bravely Default 2, Triangle Strategy, and Collection of Mana. Not everything they put out on the system was great (looking at you, Kingdom Hearts), but they practically [stole the show in several Nintendo Directs](https://youtu.be/ZIXwYlnoHv4) over the last 6 years.
I’ll quickly run through some of my personal highlights:
Being able to legitimately play Final Fantasy VII on a Nintendo console for the very first time is amazing, even more so if you know the history of this game’s original production.
I got major hand cramps trying to play The World Ends with You: Final Remix docked, but I enjoyed the story within enough to press on. Looking forward to trying out the sequel.
Octopath Traveler really made waves for Square, as several other HD 2D games have since been announced (including a direct sequel) and proved that turn based combat was still viable.
Dragon Quest XI S was the very first Switch game ever announced, and it is an utter treat for fans of traditional RPGs everywhere. I even checked out the OG Dragon Quest games on the eShop after this.
If I didn’t know any better, you could’ve easily convinced me that Live A Live was a brand new IP in the HD 2D style. Thanks Toby Fox for introducing me to this game.
Rhythm games for everyone! Not only are we getting a new Theatrhythm game in two months time, but we also got a Kingdom Hearts rhythm game as well. That was easily the best Kingdom Hearts game you can play on the Switch… not that there was really much in the way of competition.
