With the arrival of games the likes of Doom and Doom II hitting the Switch digitally last month and a game such as Star Wars: Shadows of the Empire getting a Limited Run Games physical rerelease, Old School Gamer counts down five games on one of Nintendo’s most underrated consoles that need to find their way to the Switch.
Destruction Derby 64: While not as good as the PlayStation version, seeing DD on the Switch would quench a huge thirst for hybrid racing action. How long can one play Rocket League?
WCW/nWo Revenge: Arguably the most influential wrestling game of all-time, this game would absolutely get over a million downloads if priced properly.
Wayne Gretzky 3D Hockey: With just Super Blood Hockey available on the console, Nintendo would be wise to add the classic to the mix.
Forsaken: One of the most underrated shooters of the 90s, Forsaken would be a perfect fit on the Switch.
Shadowman: Another forgotten gem, Shadowman is one of Acclaim’s best original games and deserves a second life on the Switch.
