Far Cry 3
We're a few installments further on this Ubisoft open-world action game now, but Far Cry 3 remains one of the best realizations of the series' core concept. The story is complete guff, of course, and frankly pretty deeply problematic, but it's not too difficult to ignore that and simply play this as a great stealth action superhero toybox, sneaking up on enemy camps and using your growing range of powers - as well as the game's lovely combination of emergent gameplay systems - to overcome your prey. If not Far Cry 3, then Just Cause 2 is another game in this entertaining backwater of the open-world genre that might work just as well.
XCOM: Enemy Unknown
Now this one should be a doddle, because Firaxis has already ported it to iPads, proving that its turn-based strategy classic lives happily in portable formats. In fact, the touch-screen interface could be a good thing to bring across from there. Either way, XCOM is the ideal game for mobile gamers - a game where the action is compartmentalized into neat chunks that would fit comfortably into the small breaks in your day that the Nintendo Switch is purposebuilt to occupy. While we're on the subject of Firaxis, that Civilization Revolution console game might also be a good fit.
Metal Gear Solid HD Collection - with MGS4!
You can already play most of the Metal Gear Solid series on the go in the PlayStation Vita version of the MGS HD Collection, but the Nintendo Switch offers that much more screen space and has better controllers. What's more, it should be capable of handling Metal Gear Solid 4: Guns of the Patriots, which ran on PS3. Whether or not Sony has some sort of binding exclusivity arrangement about that game, we have no idea - it hasn't appeared on any other formats to this day - but if not, then it would be a lovely cherry on top of an already remarkable package.
