Nintendo Switch has just turned a year old, and already the system has no shortage of quality games to play. Even before a flurry of big-name third-party ports release for the system–Bayonetta 2, Skyrim, L.A. Noire, and Doom–there were already a ton of worthwhile options on Switch. There are Nintendo’s flagship titles, like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, and Splatoon 2, and a variety of other Switch games you may have missed. Beyond that, though, there’s a burgeoning selection of games that cost no more than $20.

These budget-priced games are not a concept exclusive to Switch, nor is this system the only place to find many of them. But given the system’s only a year in, it’s incredible how the platform is bursting at the seams with games to play. Particularly, if you’re just getting a system now, it can be hard to find things to play, in part because the Eshop needs some work.

In the gallery above, we’re highlighting Switch games that are available for no more than $20 on the Eshop. This is far from a comprehensive list, but if you’re looking for a cheap Switch game to pick up, you can’t go wrong with any of these options. Many are not Switch exclusives, but it’s often the best platform to play them on, thanks to newly added features or the sheer convenience of having a version you can play both on a TV and on the go. These games are presented in no particular order; they’re simply titles that are worth a look.

The release of the Nintendo Switch a year ago marked the beginning of an amazing year for Nintendo. With The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild as its major launch title, the Switch quickly rose to the top of console sales charts and dramatically increased Nintendo’s revenue. And in the year since its launch, there has been no shortage of fantastic games coming to the hybrid console, from huge first-party games like Mario and Splatoon to indie darlings like Owlboy and Celeste. The library only seems to be expanding and improving with every consecutive release.

In this gallery, we’re taking a look back at Switch games that received a score of 8 or higher on GameSpot since the console’s release. That includes reviews for new games and updates to reviews of older games that were ported to Switch. Check out our choices for the best games released on the Switch. And with the console’s library continuing to expand, make sure to check back often as we update this feature over the coming weeks and months.

It’s been one year since Nintendo unleashed The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild, but it hardly feels like it. Most games would have run their course after a few weeks–maybe months–but the latest Zelda game is the gift that keeps on giving. People continue to uncover new ways to manipulate its physics systems, sometimes for sheer fun and sometimes to gain a unique advantage over a specific moment in the game. And besides, many of us are still chasing every equipment upgrade or hidden Korok seed, even though we don’t need them; it’s the sheer delight of going on a Hyrule adventure that makes us want to chase every goal, no matter how small.

While players have gone to great lengths to uncover new and exciting things in the finished product, developers at Nintendo have, over the course of many interviews, unveiled lots of interesting anecdotes from the game’s development. We’re convinced that Breath of the Wild is one of the best and most interesting games ever made, so to gain so much insight into its creation has been a treat. Join us on a journey through some of the most interesting revelations from the past year, and share your own tales of adventure in the comments below.

Breath of the Wild is out now for both Nintendo Switch and Wii U.

Breath of the Wild is a year old, which also means Nintendo Switch is a year old.

Not for the first time in its history, there were those who believed Nintendo was doomed in light of the Wii U‘s struggles, and that its only option was to become a third-party developer, a la Sega. The Nintendo Switch has silenced many of those critiques: Its sales have exceeded those of PS4 through a comparable period following its launch, surpassed projections, and helped to boost Nintendo’s market value to levels only exceeded during the heyday of the Wii.

And all of that is not without reason: the Nintendo Switch is great! Provided you have some use for removing it from the dock–whether it be to take it to work, school, bed, or, let’s be honest, the bathroom–it provides an experience unlike quite anything else. It’s also quietly built up an excellent library of games in just a year, even setting aside big hitters like The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey.

But there’s also room for improvement. Areas in which Nintendo has historically struggled are present and need to be addressed, and there are other spots that this already solid system could be made even better. Let’s run through what we want to see.

It has been a year since The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild released, and we still love it here at the GameSpot office. After all, it won our coveted Game of the Year Award for 2017, so it’s no surprise that we still spend time exploring Hyrule even now. There’s just so much to enjoy across the hundreds of hours you spend exploring its world, from solving its myriad shrines and climbing mountaintops to purchasing a house and riding a motorcycle.

To commemorate Breath of the Wild’s one year anniversary, we’ve compiled 60 things that we still love about the game. Click ahead to see them all, and be sure to tell us what you love about the game in the comments below.

Nearly a year after the Switch’s release, we’ve received a handful of ports for some of Nintendo’s best Wii U games, like Mario Kart 8, Pokken Tournament, and Lego City Undercover. And with the recent release of Bayonetta 1 + 2, Hyrule Warriors, and the confirmation of Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, the ports keep coming. But all of this has got us thinking about what other Wii U games we want to see make a comeback–especially those of us who never owned a Wii U.

After all, it would be a shame for past big-name exclusives like Xenoblade Chronicles X and Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker to remain landlocked on a system Nintendo is quickly phasing out. Not to mention that Switch also makes for a wonderful multiplayer console, even on the go. The thought of playing Super Mario 3D World or Super Smash Bros. at the drop of a hat is a reality we would love to be a part of; one we hope Nintendo is planning to make possible.

Considering Nintendo only has control over its own properties, we narrowed down the list of Wii U games we want to see on Switch to first-party published games only. But you never know: Nintendo has a lot of sway at the moment with the success of Switch, and a publisher or studio need only look at Switch sales numbers .

If you had the chance to pitch any Wii U game to Nintendo for a Switch revival, what would you choose? Take a look at our picks, and let us know your thoughts and suggestions in the comments below.

With the rise of popularity of the internet, the ’90s had a love affair with hacking, the act of breaking into computer systems or modifying existing programs using code. No, hacking is not staying logged in to Facebook and your friend writes “I love Kenny G’s music” as their status update. That’s just negligence. Movies, television shows, and even the news got hacking wrong time and time again.

Hacking is cool, but the process is exceptionally boring to watch. It’s always a person, sitting in front of a computer, for hours, writing lines upon lines of code. There is nothing interesting about real-life hacking. So what do you do in a situation where you want to put something that’s boring on the big screen? You make it sexy and flashy and end up getting everything wrong about hacking in the first place. So here are the most ridiculous times Hollywood got hacking wrong during the ’90s.
