<p>Yet another month has flown by (and a whole other week at this point), and there were plenty of cracking games flooding onto the Switch’s eShop over that time.</p>
<p>These awards aim to celebrate the best of Nintendo’s digital store, giving some love and attention to the games that could so easily be missed in the Switch’s ever-growing library.</p>
<p>So, let’s get started! Here are the best Switch eShop games of February 2020!</p>
<h3>Honourable Mentions:</h3>
<p>While these titles didn’t quite make our top three this month, they’re still certainly worth checking out.</p>

<p>Taking third spot this month is <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/warface"><strong>Warface</strong></a>, a first-person shooter which launched on the Switch eShop out of nowhere last month. The game might not be as polished as the AAA shooters skipping Switch, but it does offer <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/warface">solid asymmetrical online FPS action</a> to Switch in a way that no other shooter has managed thus far.</p>
<p>If you’re looking for a new online shooter to try, it really wouldn’t hurt to give this a chance – <em>did we mention it’s free?</em></p>

<p>The retro fans amongst the Nintendo Life team fell in love with <strong><a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/double_dragon_and_kunio-kun_retro_brawler_bundle">Double Dragon & Kunio-kun Retro Brawler Bundle</a></strong> this month, sending it into second place in our round-up. In <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/double_dragon_and_kunio-kun_retro_brawler_bundle">our review</a>, we praised the collection’s local multiplayer shenanigans, truly impressive quality of life improvements and plenty more besides.</p>
<p>If you’re concerned about this one being a cheap, quick compilation of old ROMS, think again; it goes well beyond this thanks to proper curation of the source material and is well worth checking out.</p>

<p>Taking first place this month is <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/games/switch-eshop/devil_may_cry_3_special_edition"><strong>Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition</strong></a>, a special edition release of Devil May Cry 3 on Switch – <em>what do you mean, ‘the title already gave that away’?</em> While it’s definitely aged in places, we found that the game’s turbo-charged, combo-heavy action feels as fresh today as it did back in 2005 when <a href="http://www.nintendolife.com/reviews/switch-eshop/devil_may_cry_3_special_edition">we checked it out for review</a>.</p>
<p>If you’re yet to experience Devil May Cry 3 in any form, we heartily recommend giving this Switch port a chance, and its new Freestyle mode – which lets players swap combat styles on the fly at any point during the action – might just entice those who have played it before, too.</p>
