Although Nintendo isn't really known for shooter games, it was easy to list the best Nintendo Switch shooters. Ah, the humble shooter. There was once a time back in the Jurassic age of gaming wherein you could mention the genre, and people knew exactly what you were talking about. Now, the shooter has come to encompass a broad swath of various types of games. However, when it comes down to it, if the main mechanic is shooting, you are likely playing a shooter. Whatever the flavor, if you are looking for some fun shooters to play, here are some of the best Nintendo Switch games for your itchy trigger finger.

An awesome classic
Metal Slug X
The Metal Slug franchise really refined and polished the 2D shooter way back when. When it comes to side-scrolling run and gun action, it doesn't get much better than this. Released originally in 1999 for the Neo-Geo, it represented the penultimate entry in the franchise.
Modern with retro style
Butcher
Maybe you absolutely love the idea of a game like DOOM Eternal, but you're getting sick and tired of that darned third dimension. Don't you worry, there is a solution. And that solution's name is Butcher. This game is unrelentingly tricky and an absolute blast to play.
Classic SHMUP
Pulstar
The SHMUP or shoot 'em up is one of my all-time favorite flavors of shooter. And one of my all-time favorite SHMUPs is R-Type. It has been said that R-Type will be making its way to the Switch sometime in the future. However, until that day comes, Pulstar does a great job of filling the void. A clear spiritual successor to R-type, Pulstar was originally released in 1995.
Modern SHMUP
Danmaku Unlimited 3
Fortunately for SHMUP lovers like myself, there are still developers out there fighting the good fight for the genre. Danmaku Unlimted 3 takes everything that's fun about a shoot em' up and puts a gorgeous modern-day polish on the graphics, music, and gameplay.
Free and with friends
Fortnite - Nintendo Switch
This is a free game you can play online with friends on any platform. Just download and play! There are regularly released seasons with new content for players to enjoy. Build a fort with your team and protect with all that you've got!
Battle royale
Apex Legends - Nintendo Switch
Build your crew of characters with different strengths and develop the right strategy to beat the other team. Choose your weapons and armor to customize your character! New content is being added all the time.
No otter game like it
Space Otter Charlie
In this cute platformer shooter, it's up to otters to save the animals! With multiple modes to play and a touch of platforming and puzzle fun included, this game's got a little something for everyone.
Armed and ready
Now that you are armed with these favorites, go out there and find the one that fits your style. DOOM Eternal is pretty much the king of blood and gore when it comes to shooters. So, if you're looking for a show, this one is for you.
For a unique style and graphically different with hours upon hours of gameplay, picking up the Borderlands Legendary Collection for three-in-one is your best bet. If you're unsure if you even like shooters yet, maybe start with the free game, like Fortnite, and play with some friends to see what you think.
Since the shooter genre covers such a wide area of the gaming landscape, there are always many options for fans of repeatedly smashing the fire button. I am certain that we will continue to see great shooters landing on the Nintendo Switch, and I couldn't be more pleased with the prospect.
