As many gamers already know, the Nintendo Switch is already home to a lot of non-first-party ports of stellar first-person shooters. The likes of the ground-breaking Bioshock series, the fun-filled Borderlands franchise and the latest two entries of blood-soaked DOOM games have all made their way across, and successfully at that , so what other games still await a chance to grace Nintendo's portable console?


For players out there seeking some great non-first-party first-person shooter games that are deserving of a chance to reignite themselves on Nintendo's latest platform, look no further, as here at Game Rant we've compiled an array of first-person shooters that could soar once again. All that's left to do, is read on.



The year is 2011. It's been four years since Call of Duty 4: Modern Warfare was released and made Call of Duty THE go-to game for any first-person shooter gamer. Aiming to rival for that title was Kaos Studios' near-future war shooter Homefront . The marketing for the game was everywhere, and it was poised to be the next big first-person shooter to rival Call of Duty .


In short, that didn't happen. Though the game sold well, it failed to topple the giant. The game was noted for having a short campaign , but short doesn't mean bad. The team at Kaos Studio brought in John Milius, the writer of Red Dawn , who weaved together an interesting tale of a near-future America controlled by the Greater Korean Republic. It may not have been the Call of Duty beater that was promised, but it was still a great shooter, one that delivered a memorable campaign backed by solid gameplay that deserves a second chance to be re-explored on the Nintendo Switch.



Singularity is an exceptional FPS Shooter Hub. It wowed players and critics alike when it was released back in 2010 and is considered by many gamers as a game still worth playing to this day. The game is one of the many under-rated first-person shooters out there but still stands proud as one of Raven Software's best games .


The FPS game beginner guide was a success for many gamers thanks to the high-quality gunplay enhanced by the TMD (Time-Manipulation Device), a device that allowed players to manipulate time objects and enemies with varying effects. It was a fun concept and backed by an interesting time-hopping story, Singularity delivered a stand-out shooter experience. It's a shame more gamers haven't experienced it.



The Wolfenstein series already has a few titles on the Switch, including The New Order sequel, Wolfenstein: The New Colossus . Leaving many gamers' hopes of running through the duology of MachineGames franchise reboot on the portable console a distant dream.


Wolfenstein: The New Order put players into an incredibly twisted Nazi-occupied America. The game is packed full of adrenaline-pumping gunfights, standout villains , and plenty of great mission locations; there's a part where players invade a Nazi base on the Moon. The game is a brilliant reboot and one that deserves to be ported alongside its sequel.



Most players are probably surprised to see a movie tie-in game make the list of first-person shooters that deserve a switch port, especially when that game came out back in 2005. Yet, to any gamer who's played the game, they'll know exactly why this game has made the list. It's one of the best movie tie-in games ever made.


Though that title alone doesn't do the game justice.
