Valentine’s Day is one of the most romantic holidays of the entire year. Whether you are curling up with a significant other for a night of gaming or looking to romance some digital characters, there are plenty of romantic games to play. Here are some of my favorite and the best Nintendo Switch games to play on Valentine’s Day 2025.
Stardew Valley
This beloved indie farming sim is one of the greatest ways to spend time on Valentine’s. In fact, it doesn’t even matter your relationship status. If you are single, there is an unbelievable amount of cozy content to enjoy here. Plus, there are numerous eligible bachelors and bachelorettes to get to know and marry in-game.
In addition, if you happen to have a partner, there is multiplayer as well. This includes local co-op, too. The best part is you are able to marry your partner in-game while playing co-op together. This one of the neatest features of this experience, which makes it a must-play romantic title.
It Takes Two
It Takes Two is perhaps the best splitscreen couch co-op experience I’ve had in gaming. There is nothing like this almost interactive platforming Pixar movie. You and your partner play as a married couple struggling to keep together. This plays out through brilliantly-designed levels where you truly have to work together to continue. It is a bit long for a single night but worth a look.
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town
This is by far my favorite farming sim of all time and this remake does the original GBA title justice. While it is singleplayer, it is a great way to spend some time building up your virtual life, making money, breeding animals, and finding someone in Mineral Town to settle down with. The romance here is as good as it gets.
