Any gamer will tell you that a console is only as good as the games you can play on it.
That means the race is on for Nintendo Switch, a handheld-hybrid home console, to show players a convincing lineup before its March 3 debut. The company recently gave fans a deluge of information on the machine, including on its controllers, and online services.
But, of course, the most tantalizing teases from two press events were the games coming to the new console. Nintendo has confirmed that there are 80 titles in development for the Switch, including titles coming from multiple third-party partners.
