Nintendo consoles are no strangers to fighting games, but only Smash tends to come to mind when talking about the best Switch games. Similar to the best shooters on Switch, you have to dig a little deeper to find quality fighters for the system outside of that platform fighter. That said, there is a strong library of all kinds of fighters that play great on the hybrid console, making it easy to challenge a friend to a match anywhere. The fighting game genre includes some of the best big-budget games out there, as well as the best indies, so you're sure to find one that fits your budget and experience level.
