Obviously, there&#8217;s an argument that <em>every<\/em> Switch game will look better on the OLED, but we wanted to focus on experiences that we felt are considerably enhanced by the extra screen real estate and richer detail.<\/p>\n<p>In the year since, there have been plenty of new releases that really pop on Switch OLED (as well as some that fell by the wayside last time \u2014 sorry <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/hollow_knight\">Hollow Knight<\/a>!), so we&#8217;re back with another 25(+) games we think are best experienced on the newer hardware.<\/p>\n<p>Does this mean the regular Switch turns the games listed below into unplayable eyesores? Of course not, they all sing on your common-or-garden Switch, too \u2014 and your experience while docked to your TV will be identical. However, if you&#8217;re a handheld player looking for an excuse to upgrade as we approach the holidays (yes, they&#8217;ll be here before you know it!), here are a whole bunch more reasons to help you justify that <em>slightly<\/em> extravagant, unnecessary purchase&#8230;<\/p>\n<div>\n<div class=\"list-item\">\n<div class=\"list-hero\" data-subject=\"games\/switch-eshop\/hollow_knight\">\n<div class=\"scanlines-before\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"image\/svg+xml;base64,PHN2ZyB4bWxucz0iaHR0cDovL3d3dy53My5vcmcvMjAwMC9zdmciIHZpZXdCb3g9IjAgMCA5MDAgMjUwIj48L3N2Zz4=\" width=\"900\" height=\"250\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/707afa592050b\/hollow-knight-artwork.900x250.jpg\" alt=\"Hollow Knight (Switch eShop)\"><\/div>\n<p><a class=\"cover scanlines\" href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/switch-eshop\/hollow_knight\"><img decoding=\"async\" class=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/static.nintendolife.com\/blank.gif\" data-original=\"https:\/\/images.nintendolife.com\/4e298707c2112\/hollow-knight-cover.cover_small.jpg\" alt=\"Hollow Knight (Switch eShop)\"><\/a><\/p>\n<div class=\"list-hero-info\">\n<p><span>Publisher: <\/span><strong>Team Cherry<\/strong> \/ <span>Developer: <\/span><strong>Team Cherry<\/strong><\/p>\n<div class=\"release\"><span>Release Date: <\/span><strong>12th Jun 2018 (<abbr title=\"United States \/ North America\">USA<\/abbr>)<\/strong> \/ <strong>12th Jun 2018 (<abbr title=\"UK \/ European\">UK\/EU<\/abbr>)<\/strong><\/div>\n<\/div>\n<\/div>\n<aside class=\"picture embed pictures\" id=\"screenshots\"><\/aside>\n<p><em>You mean this wasn&#8217;t on the first list?!<\/em> Look, we&#8217;re rectifying that grievous error now, okay?<\/p>\n<p>The crisp lines and deep, dark colour palette of one of Switch&#8217;s premier <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/guides\/best-nintendo-switch-metroidvania-games\">Metroidvanias<\/a> makes it the perfect candidate for a replay on Switch OLED.
