It is actually the worst Pokemon game on the Switch. Broken gameplay and world design. That's enough to make even Let's Go better. People just like it because it "feels different".
5:27 I wasn't really listening and only heard "anime classic" and "apple seed" and saw "Hiroyuki" in the credits so I had to skip back and make sure I wasn't jumping to conclusions because this would've been too big to get wrong 😂. Looks like it wasn't meant to be, IYKYK :/
Just played through Zelda Echoes of Wisdom last week during my Christmas holiday. Definitely a top 10 Switch game, possibly top 5. Very much agree with number 1 in this list though… For me, Zelda TOTK is the best game of the last 10 years since GTA5…
Fantastic game. Excellent in almost all aspects. One of the best stories, soundtracks, art directions, character casts, etc. However, there are so many great games that it can be hard to fit it into the top 5. BOTW, TOTK and SMO already have taken 3 spots. Then, it's between SSBUS, FETH, DKCTF, one of the XC, MK8 and some others. It's hard, but it is definitely at their level. It's the game I've played the most in my life, actually.
Honestly, I feel kind of bummed out most of these games were on its predecessor the Wii u and of course he has some bonus DLC but it doesn’t really give me a big reason to make that leap
You should have left out some of the multiplatform games and included some more Switch exclusives. Bayonetta Origins not being on this list is a CRIME!
@@octogigasbayonetta 3 could shine on better hardware. It's just a choppy blurry mess at times. Come the switch 2 that game will be really great. It's still fun to play just it's presentation is a bit yikes.
@@DaRkLoRd-rc5yu Unless better hardware magically rewrites the entire script from the ground up, undoes the gameplay changes, and fixes the atrocious voice acting, it's not gonna help.
Dragon's Dogma? Easily a Master Piece where any player can invest more than 100 hours playing enjoying the story, the non-repetitive actions, and get involved in a dangerous world of Dragons and Monsters.
ive watched the series or was it a movie.. it was too damn depressing... knowing that that would be my characters ending makes me too sad to try and play it :(
I’d like to see this list with ONLY games exclusive to the Nintendo Switch, I’m fine with ports and remasters like Metroid prime because that’s a Nintendo exclusive. But games like hollow knight and celest don’t really belong here even if they are great games.
Considering there isn’t a single entry for Pokémon on this list, have to disagree with it. At the very least Legends: Arceus should be somewhere on here
Unicorn Overlord wasn't out when they made the list, this is (most likely) months old given they make make a written version and just do a voice over version as a video well after.

It is the biggest snub, it's better than half this list! But you gotta remember IGN hates Kirby
So glad Pokémon scarlet and violet and nowhere to be seen in this list. Remember when Pokemon actually had love and care out into the games?
Facts!! Amazing the the DS games are still better than those mid switch games
Yeah it's really sad honestly. Any recommendations on which older Pokémon titles to play? Preferably after Emerald

Metroid dread is my fav right now
Great game.
its too hard for me lol
It’s difficult, but oh so satisfying when you get past each boss.
have you tried Prince of Persia: the Lost Crown yet? :)
@@ManhattanOnMars IMO, the only really difficult boss fight was the very last one. That took me quite a few tries.
What a time to be a Nintendo fan. Watching this makes me genuinly happy!
It's amazing how many of the "best Switch games" in 2024 are actually 2014 Wii U games, or sequels to them, starting with the first on your list.
They chose to put them instead of new games like monster hunter rise or Kirby forgotten lands
Wait till tou find out how many Wii U games were sequels to previous games
@@thevinisoThat's because the Wii U had incredible games amd was an awesome console. But people only noticed intill the Switch came out.
Yeah they should’ve definitely made a Switch only list
So glad you didn't shy away from putting BOTW & TOTK in the top 2 spots. The only truth!
Yeah no. Those imposters don’t deserve to even be in the top 5.

Also surprised to see Captain Toad on the list.
No Kirby and the Forgotten Land? lol
I've been glued to Dark Souls on the switch. I'm trapped. Hooked. Help!!! ☠️😁
Same, it's great :-)
Nice, that was one of my first Switch games. I'm hooked on Dragon's Dogma at the moment.
@@DanielZeal The combat in it is very fun in my opinion
@@angelichourstonightwe need elden ring on the switch
@@jmgonzales7701 yea that would be very fun to play there, even if sure the graphics won't be exactly the same
Super Mario wonder was a master class in creativity
Yes you right. for me is.
Hollow knight, Metroid Dread, Zelda Tears of Kingdom, Marios Bros Wonder, and etc.
Highly recommend Astral Chain. The combat, puzzles, environments, characters, story, and music are all phenomenal.
Not having mario maker 2 or at least a mario party on this list is a crime
Captain Toad Treasure Tracker is not only on two consoles, but three! Let's not forget there's a more than decent version for DS as well.
Wow not a single monster catcher.
SMT V?
DQM The Dark Prince?
Legends Arceus?
Also MH Rise is probably THE most optimized 3rd party game on the switch. Unbelievable what it achieved tbh, and should be on this list
This was quite an informative video. The games showcased here are rather fun with engaging gameplay.
No cuphead? No DKC tropical freeze? 😢

Favorite part of the switch is of its most popular games are Wii U ports just goes to show the Wii U was underrated
Awesome list.
Might be nostalgia but Botw > Totk
Thought this myself
Most Zelda games > BotW > TotK
Not nostalgia, just facts. TOTK feels like a checklist, BOTW was a more concrete gaming experience
U just don't get it
Yeahh same

You should have left out some of the multiplatform games and included some more Switch exclusives. Bayonetta Origins not being on this list is a CRIME!
Wow. No Kirby and the Forgotten Land? I'd definitely remove Fire Emblem Engage and switch it with that one.
love the video ^^
Can't believe The Witcher 3 isn't on this.
No Xenoblade 2 and 3 and bayonetta games????

Dragon quest monsters 3
Octopath 2
Shiren 6
Kirby return to dreamland
Legend arceus
Forgotten land
