Only games that are currently available in the Nintendo eShop.

Ever wanted to learn Japanese, build a PC, or learn how to customize your own car? Then check out all the best educational games for Nintendo Switch. More than just your standard puzzle or trivia platformer, modern video games can teach us all kinds of cool things. By meshing classic gameplay with real-life simulations, educational games can be as basic as your classic brain teaser or as detailed as a true-to-life bee simulator. 

While games like Sudoky, Jeopardy, and Trivial Pursuit may be popular titles, there are plenty of great indie games if you're willing to scratch beyond the surface. Hiragana Pixel Party, for instance, is an insanely addictive chiptune game that helps players learn Japanese, while SmileBASIC 4 is an educational training game where you literally create and play your own game on the Switch.  

The Switch's portability is particularly conducive to educational games, as you can get your learn on at home or on the go. Jonesing for a few cool crossword puzzles on your way to work? Sorted? Looking to brush up on your vocab skills before class? No problemo. With so many options and possibilities, the world of video games is endless.
