Nintendo Switch Gaming Guide

Written by games journalist Chris Stead, this guide is meant for anyone deciding what to buy for a Nintendo Switch, whether for themselves or for children. It surveys the console's strongest titles, with tips and cheats, and covers the hardware and accessories that go with it. The Switch combines a television console and a handheld in one device, and its library spans many kinds of players.

The book profiles more than 75 Nintendo games, from The Legend of Zelda and Super Mario to Pokémon, Lego, Minecraft, Marvel, Fortnite, Animal Crossing, Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. Each entry describes what the game offers. Stead also examines the core accessories, the Nintendo Online subscription service, and the advantages and drawbacks of the Switch as a system.

Stead began his career in the mid-1990s on N64 Gamer magazine. Since then he has worked on GamePro, Game Informer, Fortnite magazine and Gameplayer, and has written for websites including IGN, GameSpot, Kotaku, Rooster Teeth and MCV.
