Zelda tokt X10

Yeah it is 1-10 ranking, loyal Zelda fan. There’s so much to hyrule, joyful side quests, and link not talking makes me laugh.

 

[Laieon]

Apparently if your game has green grass and a blue sky on its box art, it has a pretty good chance at making it onto my top 10.

If the game was running better on another platform (legally) even if on switch I wasn't going to give it the time of day.
Some of the best games on switch are ports anyways, so. lol

 

[L*][*N*K]

Tears of the kingdom, Breath of the wild, New Horizons, Smash Ultimate, Metroid Prime, Monster Hunter Rise, Dragon Quest XI, Diablo 3, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Persona 5 Royale

10th spot will probably go to either Kirby, No More Heroes III, or Luigi's Mansion when I get around to finishing them.

 

[Ev1L AuRoN]

I'll need to discard indies since I love then and they will most likely disrupt the whole thing.

1- Fire Emblem Three Houses
2- Super Metroid Remastered
3- The Legend of Zelda BotW
4- Super Smash Bros Ultimate
5- Super Mario kart 8 Deluxe
6- Luigi's Mansion 3

[Batiman]

Dread
Smash
Prime remastered
Odyssey
Bowsers fury
BOTW
Snipper clips ( fun co op)
Luigi’s mansion

Into the breach

Haven’t played TOTK yet. For some reason I’m in no rush for it. I’d know I’d love and it would make my list easily.

Bayo3 I found disappointing. Performance sort of killed it for me. Comes off really messy with all the shit going on.

 

[Heimdall_Xtreme]

Apparently if your game has green grass and a blue sky on its box art, it has a pretty good chance at making it onto my top 10.

God bless Animal Crossing.

It save us from Covid-19

 

[Thick Thighs Save Lives]

I bought a Switch rather recently so I'll just list what games I've enjoyed so far on it

- Zelda BotW
- Zelda TotK
- Astral Chain
- AI: Somnium Files
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3
- Dead Cells
- Octopath Traveler
- Metroid Prime Remastered
- Signalis

I only bought and will continue buying physical games for the Switch (I don't trust Nintendo with digital games lol). That said, I also have the following physical games on my backlog: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 + Torna - The Golden Country, Stardew Valley, Shin Megami Tensei 5, Pheonix Wright: Ace Attorney Trilogy, Ori: The Collection, Live A Live, Hallow Knight, Gris, Danganronpa Decadence, Chaos; Head Noah & Chaos;Head Child, AI: The Somnium Files - nirvanA Initiative.

 

[Danjin44]

I’m so glad to see some Astral Chain on people’s list, that game is soooooo underrate.

 

[Evil Calvin]

It's really sad how many sequels are on these lists. Not much originality at all.

 

[kunonabi]

I’m so glad to see some Astral Chain on people’s list, that game is soooooo underrate.

Sadly, it's probably going to be Platinum's last great game the way things are going.

 

[captain_cabbage]

1. Super Mario Odyssey
2. Mario Kart

 

[TheBROgamer]

1. Super Mario Odyssey
2. Mario Kart

We need 8 moar.

 

[ReBurn]

1. Super Mario Odyssey

This is pretty much my list but in reverse order. I don't have 10 favorite Switch games. I mostly play these.

So:

Mario Kart
Super Mario Odyssey
Pikmin 3
Atari 50 I guess

 

[stranno]

Good Job would be definitely among them. I love this game. 101% recommended.

I’m so glad to see some Astral Chain on people’s list, that game is soooooo underrate.

Hopefully the sales is good enough so Nintendo will make a sequel

 

[Danjin44]

Hopefully the sales is good enough so Nintendo will make a sequel

I would LOOOOVE that! it had such nice synergy to its combat system.

 

[TheKremlinBossMan]

TotK
Metroid Dread
BotW
Metroid Prime
Mario 3D World
Mario Odyssey
Link’s Awakening
Luigi’s Mansion 3
Mario Kart
Uhhh probably some other Mario game

Add octopath I and 2 and Triangle Strategy and this is a perfect list.

 

[Fbh]

By "no ports" you mean no third party games or just no late ports and remasters?
Assuming it just means no later ports: the ones that come to mind in no particular order:
BotW
TotK
Hollow Knight
Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Luigis Mansion 3
FE Engage
Triangle Strategy
Astral Chain
Cadence of Hyrule

 

[GigaBowser]

TOTK
Dread

5. Xenoblade Chronicles 3
6. Metroid Dread
7. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
8. Astral Chain

10. Luigi's Mansion 3

 

[GHG]

TOTK

[Banjo64]

Those are all ports besides odyssey XD

I can not ignore ports so fuck the rules

Diablo 3
Terraria
Diablo 2
Borderlands 2
Disgaea 5
Loop hero
Skyrim
Doom 2
Duke nukem 3D world tour
Stardew valley
Totk

Agree with this. Nintendo ports.

My list (in no order):

Breath of the Wild
Tears of the Kingdom
Metroid Dread
Hades
Smash Ultimate
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Splatoon 3
Rocket League
Tetris 99
Nintendo Switch Online (SNES/GBA/N64 apps) - yeah, I’m cheating with this one.


Honorary mention to Fortnite. Yes I know. But I managed to play a lot of this game with my son. I think Epic deserve credit for forcing the platform holders to accept cross platform voice chat, cross platform progression and cross play.

 

[DKPOWPOW]

In no order

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Zelda: Breath of the Wild

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Super Mario Odyssey

Metroid Dread

Metroid Prime Remastered

Donkey Kong: Tropical Freeze

Great Ace Attorney Chronicles

Astral Chain

Dragon Ball FighterZ

I find the no port thing stupid, as Donkey Kong deserves every bit of recognition it can get. Probably the greatest 2D platformer ever created.

I am not even closed to finished with Tears of the Kingdom, but it will likely knock a game off this list. Astral Chain and Great Ace Attorney haven't been fully completed either (about half way thru each) but I have enjoyed them quite bit so far.

And FighterZ is just a heck of a game, many hours played. Despite the 30 FPS it's still a blast to play on Switch, and looks near identical to the XB1 and PS4 versions.

I still have a lot of Switch games I need to play that are just sitting on my shelf waiting, the Switch's library is quite amazing and I look forward to going thru it.

 

[ungalo]

1) Zelda Breath of the Wild (by far)
2) Bayonetta 3
