The Nintendo Switch is the ultimate portable console. In addition to being able to slip into any bag, it can, with the right accessories, be transformed into a truly practical home console. For the holidays, it is a must-have whether you are going away or staying quietly at home. If you don't know which games to try in your free time, here are some suggestions that should please you.
Hogwarts Legacy
Released last year on the latest generation consoles, Hogwarts Legacy took a little longer to arrive on Nintendo Switch. Players have only been able to get their hands on the title for a few months and many have not yet set foot in its magical and fantastical universe. It's time to get started! This summer you will be a pro at launching Expelliarmus and fighting trolls.
Especially since Warner Bros. Games is offering you a gift before the summer. The game just got a free update that brings you cosmetic items, and an additional quest that PlayStation players could already complete when the title was released.
Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
This year, Nintendo hasn't made much effort to bring new things to its players. So why not focus on old franchises that have been brought up to date? Of all the remakes, Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door is the one you need to have in your library. The license offers players unprecedented humor compared to the other games of the mustachioed plumber, with an artistic direction that's spot on.
The title obviously plays a lot on its 2D side, mixed with a 3D environment. Its mechanics are therefore new, while reviving a narrative that Nintendo's first fans have already been able to discover in the past. The remake was particularly appreciated by our teams and should satisfy both adults and children.

Fae Farm
Exit Animal Crossing and Stardew Valley, for summer 2024 we want fresh blood. That's good, Fae Farm promises to combine these two universes with a management and adventure game filled with fairies and magic. You are in charge of rehabilitating a small island, while cultivating the spirit of your home. Your relationships with the other characters count in the progression of the game, and it is even possible to have pets.
It's not all management, and it is also possible to follow a certain number of quests, which will make you explore a sometimes dangerous world, and mysterious dungeons. The game features a seasonal system that you will have to monitor to harvest your crops and also a very nice crafting and customization system.
Princess Peach: Showtime!
We're more or less back in the Mario franchise with the very first game centered on Princess Peach. The young lady is no longer in distress, and she's even pretty badass. In this unassuming title, you play as a Peach who is sometimes a detective, sometimes a ninja, sometimes a pastry chef, a skater or even a swordswoman. Each faculty gives you access to a room, which you will have to complete to save the Théâtre de l'étincelle.
The game has such simple mechanics that it can really be put in everyone's hands (although following the PEGI recommendations for the health of our youngest). The difficulty comes when the spirit of completion gets involved, because some sparks know how to slip through the cracks. We love its modern and refreshing artistic direction for a game in the Mario franchise.
Prince of Persia: The Lost Crown
Because there is no royal couple without a prince to accompany the princess, we end with a good old platform game as we like them. Prince of Persia was reborn with the opus The Lost Crown which propelled players into a 2D environment like in the old days. A return to the origins in terms of gameplay, yes, but not necessarily in terms of narration.
We find ourselves a new hero with an incomparable style, who evolves within the most dangerous environments of Persia in order to save the prince from a kidnapping. Mount Qaf is a more mysterious place than it seems, which the hero must tame in order to master all of its powers. With its frenetic gameplay, it will be your perfect ally on the portable console.
