Playing the Nintendo Switch hits timeline

Each card is a big game on the Nintendo Switch, with its developer printed below the title, and you order them by the year each was first released on any platform. One game is placed for you with its year showing. Choose a gap for the next card and the one after that. Pick correctly and the year appears beside it. Pick badly and the game still lands in its real slot, but you've spent one of your three lives.

The console's whole life is here, from launch-window blockbusters to the final wave before its successor, alongside indie hits that started on PC. That is the catch: several games arrived on the Switch well after their debut elsewhere, and the year counts from the first release, not the port. Nintendo EPD shows up again and again, so the developer line helps less than you'd hope. The busy early years of the console are crowded, so small details matter.

Want a longer game? On the deck tree you can tick this deck alongside any other one measured in release years and dates, and they shuffle into a single timeline together.
