We’ve given this list a little spring clean adding the excellent Despelote<\/a>. Enjoy!<\/em><\/p>\n

A Switch 1 or 2 is the perfect console if you travel a lot, for work or pleasure. The consoles’ portability make them the perfect choice if you’re spending any time at all in planes, trains, and automobiles.<\/p>\n

Of course, you may choose to pass the time playing a trusted standby, or grinding through your favourite RPG<\/a>, but if you’re after a wholesome, bite-sized game to chew on and digest entirely in a single sitting, you’ve come to the right place. Maybe you’ve got no travel plans at all and you just want an amuse-bouche<\/em> in between sweeping epics. Thankfully, there’s no shortage of smaller experiences on the eShop, and we’re here to help you find the best short games on Switch.<\/p>\n

All of the games below can be completed in a few short hours \u2014 potentially in one gaming session, subject to skill and battery life. So, whether you’re jetting off on holiday or squeezing in a whistle-stop business trip, you can travel safe in the knowledge that the following short Switch games will keep you company on your trip, and<\/em> you’ll have them wrapped up by the time you return. Who’s got the patience to wait until hour 30 when a game supposedly ‘gets good’, eh?!<\/p>\n
