It&#8217;s a welcome change because Nintendo systems have historically lagged a little behind other consoles in the FPS field despite hosting some classics. After all, <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/goldeneye_007\"><strong>GoldenEye 007<\/strong><\/a> and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/n64\/perfect_dark\"><strong>Perfect Dark<\/strong><\/a> helped define the FPS on consoles, and the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/gamecube\/metroid_prime\"><strong>Metroid Prime<\/strong><\/a> series shifted the exploration of the 2D Metroids into a first-person perspective to great effect. Still, Nintendo consoles have often missed out on the best multiplatform shooters.<\/p>\n<p>The success of Switch is changing all that, though, and we&#8217;ve seen a raft of FPS games arrive on the handheld hybrid. From remade classics to seemingly &#8216;impossible&#8217; ports, there&#8217;s now plenty to choose from, and with <strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.nintendolife.com\/games\/nintendo-switch\/metroid_prime_4\">Metroid Prime 4<\/a><\/strong> lingering stubbornly over the horizon, there&#8217;s never been a better time to <a href=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/watch?v=DZJV37oibhc\">gear up like John Matrix<\/a>, light a cigar and blast through the demonic hordes on your handheld.<\/p>\n<p>So, saddle up, lock and load, and prepare for our selection of the best First-Person Shooters on Switch.

Consequently, this ranks alongside the very best versions of DOOM available anywhere. Purists may suggest that DOOM should be played on a keyboard but after a couple of minutes with this exquisite port, you&#8217;ll feel like it was <em>made<\/em> for a gamepad.

Although a few new maps and heroes are welcome, and the gameplay itself remains just as enjoyably intense as it always was, there is nothing here that feels innovative or notable enough to justify that \u20182\u2019 in the title. Overwatch 2 feels more like a few updates Blizzard could have pushed to the original release.
