Got the urge to play some shooters lately. Thing is idk many on switch (I mean my actual switch, not an emu this time)
Downloading warface as I’m writing, I remember it being OK.
Does the switch have any good ones?
Splatoon is pretty fun
Retro-style: DUSK, Prodeus, Serious Sam
More modern: Wolfenstein - The New Colossus, Doom 2016, BioShock 1 and 2
Spooky, “ghost train”: Doom³
Exploration oriented: Metroid Prime (and 4 is coming up!), Powerslave Exhumed
I have not played it yet personally, but they have the turok trilogy bundle on the switch. I’ve heard those games are good. The serious Sam collection is also available and that’s a lot of fun
BPM: Bullets Per Minute. A boomer shooter had an affair with he rhythm game genre and this was the outcome. Amazing game, assuming you don’t mind rhythm games, and an immaculate one if you actively like rhythm games.
Neon White is technically a shooter, but in most ways does not play or feel like one. It’s better described as a first person puzzle/platformer, but I would still recommend it, as it is an incredible game.
Both of the Doom ports run insanely well on the Switch. Seemingly impossibly well considering how dated the console is.
Warframe is good, free and playing surprisingly well on Switch.
Splatoon is just awesome.
This might not be exactly what you’re looking for, but Neon White is one of my favorite games of the last few years, and it’s on the Switch. I played on PC, but I haven’t seen any complaints about the Switch version.
I don’t really know if I’d call if a first person shooter. It’s more like a first person platformer and you have to shoot some targets before completing the level. Levels are very, very short, and you’ll replay them many times to shave a fraction of a second off of your time.
