This video has such a high production quality that I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw that it has less than 1000 views. Great work, you’ve totally earned my sub.
TheActs2021 hey, Rayman Legends is on sale now, in the Uk Nintendo Eshop. It’s about £7.99p. If your outside of the uk then I’m not sure if it’s on sale there. I bought physical copy for £17.99 and I’m glad I bought it but £7.99 for digital is still a very good price.
Gris is maybe not one of the best 2D platformers on Switch. But if you look at the whole picture. Graphics, music, atmosphere...it’s definitely up there with the best games on Switch! I have like all the games on your list except for Splasher, will check that one out. :)
Top 12 Best's Games Platform 2D of Nintendo Switch 1°)-Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze 2°)-Yooka Laylee & The Impossible Lair 3°)-Kirby Star Allies 4°)-Yoshi's Crafted World 5°)-Super Mario Bros U 6°)-Hollow Knight 7°)-Sonic Mania 8°)-Little Nightmares 9°)-Cup Head 10°)-Limbo 11°)-Megaman 11 12°)-Inside
Finished Trine 1 not too long ago. Really liked that game. And waiting to start Trine 2... Blazing Chrome is also a fantastic Contra clone. Also liked the Jet-Kave Adventure demo recently.
Oh, it's SO cool that you included Yooka-Laylee And The Impossible Lair. That game is one of my favorite 2D platformers of all time. Such a shame not a lot of people know about it. If you are reading this comment, and you haven't buy it, go ahead and do it. It's superb.
Its a beautifully crafted masterpiece, including amazing levels and creative design (besides Oshiro’s, sorry bud but your level is sucky and rage inducing)
Interesting you went with u deluxe over super Mario maker 2. I have heard the opposite and u deluxe in level design. I do want to play SMM2 but may need to add deluxe to list to at least try. Great video, easy subscribe decision. And Kirby looks fun I’m guessing that’s officially #16 honorable mention
Thank you, glad you enjoyed the video! Honestly both super mario maker 2 and Deluxe is great. Neither decision would be wrong. Mario maker is adding content to make it better too such as the Zelda expansion which is pretty cool. And you would be correct about Kirby being honorable mention.
I agree but as I said at the beginning of the video, I have a separate list for Best Metroidvanias. If you like games like Hollow Knight you should go watch that video
Great video, but even better is your unconventional choices which I actually think you nailed. I was hoping Tropical Freeze would be number one, but I can't fault you for choosing Celeste over it. I really hope there is a new DK 2D platformer released on the Switch in its lifespan.
Horace is such an underrated gem and something I would include on this list. Not sure if it classes as a metroidvania but I see it as more of a linear platformer. Well worth a pick up, especially when it's on sale as it regularly is... Normally discounted to just a quid
I completely agree about rayman. It is so under appreciated. I have only played legends and some origins (might try other titles idk) but they are great games. You earned yourself a like.
Nice list , gave me some idea ;) you might enjoy dead dungeon and dungeon escape, these are 2 cheap and very difficult platform games that I raged on recently, absolutely love them!
Great list! So many "top platformer" lists omit both DK Tropical Freeze and Rayman--which is just bonkers. (DH Country Returns would also have worked.) My only so-called beefs: I don't know why, but I just can't wrap my head on Sonic as a platformer--it just seems like its own spasmodic "thing." Couldn't get into Celeste, but need to give it another go--it features that "dash" action which I find awkward. Finally, I think that Cuphead is even harder than Meatboy (though I never quite finished the latter). But, like I said, great list.
As I am a new Switch owner looking for good platformers, this video was so helpful for curating my game wishlist! Thank you so much, and I'm clicking the subscribe button right now.
Yoshi's Crafted World is in fact challenging. if you want to get to the end of each level then sure theres not much to come up against but in order to open up each world you have to collect the smiley suns and beyond that if you count in the alternative challenge on each level some of which are timed. the end game. It's hard.
JayWood2010 as far as side scrolling platformers go the metroidvanias are where it's at for me. I've played many of the picks on this list though. I think it's the strict platforming genre I don't enjoy much. Although I enjoyed Celeste for the challenge. On an aside, Dark Souls is my all time favourite game regardless of genre.
I think unravel 2 is pretty fun puzzle game and realistic looking world and creatures are a cherry on top. But even better game is super mario maker 2. I know, it isn't just platforming, but the ability to create your own levels is the main point in it and it is wonderful.
Great content :). I like your top 15 videos and your style of the videos a lot! From all these platformers, I have played three so far: Gris, Mega Man and DK Tropical Freeze, with the latter being my favorite platformer ever. The rest will follow soon. Keep up the good work, I’m sure it’ll pay off.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying these videos. And hopefully you find some great stuff to play. Sounds like you've already got a great start with Gris, Mega Man, and DKC xD
Rayman legends has got to be one of the best and one of my favorite 2d platformer games ever and it’s such a shame how under rated it is you hardly ever hear or see anyone mentioning it when talking about 2d platform games and a lot of best 2d platformer lists don’t even mention rayman at all! I think all rayman games are pretty dang good but for me legends has got to be my favorite out of all of them though!!!
One of the best lists on this subject that I've seen so far. Really well put together. I'd add to this: - Dininho adventures - Toki Tori (this one because is a really affordable title, that you can buy with only a few golden coins, and it's also fun with the puzzle mechanics) - Fe - Ori (of course, because why the hell not?)
Great list you made! Good to see some of Yooka-Laylee love! But maybe you could add Hollow Knight, a very chalenging Metroidvania type of game. Or Super Mario Maker 2, you literally can create 2D Mario Levels! And finally Kirby star allies pretty good kirby game!
I need to try Celeste. It just does not look like it would be my cup of tea. I guess I'm more into RPGs/action side-scrolling than platformers I suppose though I do enjoy a good Mario, Donkey Kong and Kirby game.
thank you so much for this list i'm new at the gaming world and i play only on switch i find it very hard to decide which game to buy next and now i have a few, once i finish donkey kong i'll buy limbo and cuphead :D
I would have definitely added Shantae to the list - playing Half Genie Hero and it is so much fun - the game and music is exceptional!! Much prefer it to Mario Bros (overrated) and potentially Donkey Kong.
Celeste is a true masterpiece. I love absolutely everything about the game; the controls are tight, the graphics are cute, and the music is one of a kind. Just bought a physical version, and I don't regret a single penny I spent on that limited edition. Highly recommended. I really hope a sequel will be released some day.
Inside and limbo seem very interesting. I don’t have a Nintendo switch yet. So many games are available only if you download this online? So you need a subscription to Nintendo online or something like that?
Sergio PM really? I love this game. It’s 1 of the most relaxing games I’ve ever played and very different to anything I’ve played before. I’ve recently been loving these types of games.
Sergio PM I bought Celeste only recently. Not played it yet tho. I wish Nintendo didn’t constantly have sales, because I’m buying way more then I can play and it’s getting annoying.
You can’t claim any game as the “Best Of All Time” if you didn’t play a Super Mario game until Super Mario 3. All time = All Time. The best you ever played? Fine.
That's a tough choice o.O both are so good. If time means anything to you, Hollow Knight is a longer game with over 20 hours of gameplay. Rayman Legends is around 10 hours
Love all these games except the Yoshi game. The soundtrack was AWFUL in my opinion and I got it solely for co-op, and it was so bad. They made it so you always get in the way of each other, it was super super frustrating and unplayable.
This video has such a high production quality that I was absolutely dumbfounded when I saw that it has less than 1000 views. Great work, you’ve totally earned my sub.
Thank you very much :)
Second this!
Agreed!!
Agreed this video is great
But remember views don’t determine how good a video is
Feels good to see some recognition for Rayman :)
Yeah, I've played the demo and it's really good ! Need to pick up the whole thing when it goes on sale again.
TheActs2021 hey, Rayman Legends is on sale now, in the Uk Nintendo Eshop. It’s about £7.99p. If your outside of the uk then I’m not sure if it’s on sale there. I bought physical copy for £17.99 and I’m glad I bought it but £7.99 for digital is still a very good price.
@@grahamkelly8662 yeah thanks, but I'm in the U.S., and it's not on sale at the moment...
@@TheActs2021 Its on sale right now for $9.99 in the US e-shop ! pick it up bro !!!!
@@David-lr5ls planning on it !
Raymond legends one of my favorite games of all time 10/10. From gameplay to level design. And all the music levels are a bonus
I started gaming in 86’ on the NES. Celeste is, hands down, my favorite game of all time.
What a fantastic list. I didn't know about Splasher.
Gris is maybe not one of the best 2D platformers on Switch. But if you look at the whole picture. Graphics, music, atmosphere...it’s definitely up there with the best games on Switch! I have like all the games on your list except for Splasher, will check that one out. :)
I can definitely agree with you on Gris. Fantastic game all around. I think you will definitely enjoy Splasher :)
This is a very very great list! DKC Tropical is my number 1 favorite. Glad to see some love for Yooka Laylee and the Impossible Lair also!

I'm going to consider it. It looks fun! 😄
@@KingYoshi93 it is absolutely amazing!! 😉
@@KingYoshi93 Go for it! That game is incredibly fantastic
I'm gonna try it!
Thanks for the video. 2d platforms are one of my favourite gaming genres.
Celeste is truly an instant classic, truly astonishing game
Its a beautifully crafted masterpiece, including amazing levels and creative design (besides Oshiro’s, sorry bud but your level is sucky and rage inducing)
Platformers are just perfect in my opinion, I would take a platformer game over any fps game
Interesting you went with u deluxe over super Mario maker 2. I have heard the opposite and u deluxe in level design. I do want to play SMM2 but may need to add deluxe to list to at least try.

Hollow Knight is one of the best 2D games of recent years.
I agree but as I said at the beginning of the video, I have a separate list for Best Metroidvanias. If you like games like Hollow Knight you should go watch that video
Amaziiiiing game!! but not a 2D platformer...
Same with both the ori games
"This time we're gonna talk about the top 15-"
My brain in Chills voice - nUmBer FiFTEen
You forgot "Broforce", it is an amazing game!
Great video, but even better is your unconventional choices which I actually think you nailed. I was hoping Tropical Freeze would be number one, but I can't fault you for choosing Celeste over it. I really hope there is a new DK 2D platformer released on the Switch in its lifespan.
Fun fact...celeste was originally made for a fantasy console called Pico 8. It became so popular they made a full game
Horace is such an underrated gem and something I would include on this list. Not sure if it classes as a metroidvania but I see it as more of a linear platformer. Well worth a pick up, especially when it's on sale as it regularly is... Normally discounted to just a quid
I completely agree about rayman. It is so under appreciated. I have only played legends and some origins (might try other titles idk) but they are great games. You earned yourself a like.
My favorit rayman os still rayman 1, amazing game!!
Nice list , gave me some idea ;) you might enjoy dead dungeon and dungeon escape, these are 2 cheap and very difficult platform games that I raged on recently, absolutely love them!

This is the first of your videos I've watched but you already got one more subscriber. High quality production and content here, man!
Thank you! I appreciate the support, and hope you enjoy plenty more videos going forward
You missed an amazing game called N++. Quite possibly the best feeling platformer of all time.
There is a good bit of game's on this list that I want to try out.
Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is what every modern 2d platformer should be.
As I am a new Switch owner looking for good platformers, this video was so helpful for curating my game wishlist! Thank you so much, and I'm clicking the subscribe button right now.
No problem at all. Enjoy your new platformers! :)
Yoshi's Crafted World is in fact challenging. if you want to get to the end of each level then sure theres not much to come up against but in order to open up each world you have to collect the smiley suns and beyond that if you count in the alternative challenge on each level some of which are timed. the end game. It's hard.
Thumbs up for the work put into this video. One thing I learned from it though... we have totally different taste in games!
Thanks and lol that's fair
Everybody likes different stuff. What's some of your favorites?
JayWood2010 as far as side scrolling platformers go the metroidvanias are where it's at for me. I've played many of the picks on this list though. I think it's the strict platforming genre I don't enjoy much. Although I enjoyed Celeste for the challenge. On an aside, Dark Souls is my all time favourite game regardless of genre.
So happy to see Splasher on here..........What a brilliant game!!!
I think unravel 2 is pretty fun puzzle game and realistic looking world and creatures are a cherry on top. But even better game is super mario maker 2. I know, it isn't just platforming, but the ability to create your own levels is the main point in it and it is wonderful.
your videos a great man why took me so long to find this channel, you go straigth to the games
Mega Man 11 is fun. Awesome boss fights in this game.
Thanks, a really impressive collection!
All these games are fantastic. I would like to add crash bandicoot the first one.
Hey there, not show how I am barely learning about your channel now but love your recent content. Proud to sub and support! Keep up the great work!
Mega Man 11 is fun. Awesome boss fights.
Great content :). I like your top 15 videos and your style of the videos a lot!
From all these platformers, I have played three so far: Gris, Mega Man and DK Tropical Freeze, with the latter being my favorite platformer ever. The rest will follow soon.
Keep up the good work, I’m sure it’ll pay off.
Thank you, I'm glad you're enjoying these videos. And hopefully you find some great stuff to play. Sounds like you've already got a great start with Gris, Mega Man, and DKC xD
Tropical freeze Is hard
Honestly im glad i watched this for some new ideas!! But my favorite games to play were the ori games
I’m a fan of Dogurai....it’s 5 bucks on the eshop....and it is worth it
Awesome video! So well put together!
Amazing collection
These videos are so well done. Really good stuff.
You should do a top 15 puzzle games! (: I would be interested
I will definitely try to do this in the future.
My favourite is defiantly Kirby Star Allies. :)
Rayman legends has got to be one of the best and one of my favorite 2d platformer games ever and it’s such a shame how under rated it is you hardly ever hear or see anyone mentioning it when talking about 2d platform games and a lot of best 2d platformer lists don’t even mention rayman at all! I think all rayman games are pretty dang good but for me legends has got to be my favorite out of all of them though!!!
One of the best lists on this subject that I've seen so far. Really well put together. I'd add to this:
- Dininho adventures
- Toki Tori (this one because is a really affordable title, that you can buy with only a few golden coins, and it's also fun with the puzzle mechanics)
- Fe
- Ori (of course, because why the hell not?)
Great video's, your channel deserves more followers!
Damn, that me skint, again. Added a good few games to my must buy list. 🤩
wow this is such a good video well done
Great list you made! Good to see some of Yooka-Laylee love!
But maybe you could add Hollow Knight, a very chalenging Metroidvania type of game.
Or Super Mario Maker 2, you literally can create 2D Mario Levels!
And finally Kirby star allies pretty good kirby game!
In this video I did not include Metroidvania style games, but I however do have a Top 15 Metroidvania list as well if you want to check that out.
@@JayWood2010 sure!
I need to try Celeste. It just does not look like it would be my cup of tea. I guess I'm more into RPGs/action side-scrolling than platformers I suppose though I do enjoy a good Mario, Donkey Kong and Kirby game.
thank you so much for this list
i'm new at the gaming world and i play only on switch
i find it very hard to decide which game to buy next and now i have a few, once i finish donkey kong i'll buy limbo and cuphead :D
Cup head is stupid hard
Yooka Laylee and The Impossible Lair is my #1
I can understand that. I love The Impossible Lair xD
I would have definitely added Shantae to the list - playing Half Genie Hero and it is so much fun - the game and music is exceptional!! Much prefer it to Mario Bros (overrated) and potentially Donkey Kong.
Inside, limbo and hollow knight are all perfect games
I don't even have a switch... or any console or pc :') lol but your vids are very good.
Superb list..i totally agree..
Ori series, hollow knight, aeternal Noctis, dead souls
Celeste is a true masterpiece. I love absolutely everything about the game; the controls are tight, the graphics are cute, and the music is one of a kind. Just bought a physical version, and I don't regret a single penny I spent on that limited edition. Highly recommended. I really hope a sequel will be released some day.
They’re not planning on it right now, but they might in the future I hope-they should add like a huge paid dlc level pack.
Hollow Night! :)
The best game on the Nintendo Switch is Horace. It truly is amazing and I recommend it to anyone as you won't be disappointed.
Tropical freeze is the deserved winner
You are making best lists
Thank you very much!
I doubt Celeste will ever be topped. One of the few games I’ve ever played that is practically perfect in every way.
Hollow Knight and Dead Cells!
Celeste god game - pref on pc, mario is classic same as sonic or donkey, but Rayman just lookin brilliant
Inside and limbo seem very interesting. I don’t have a Nintendo switch yet. So many games are available only if you download this online? So you need a subscription to Nintendo online or something like that?
Sonic mania and tropical freeze are my favorites
The best I've played so far is Hollow Knight... can't wait for SilkSong!!!
Also looking forward to Little Nightmares 2
Me. Splosionman! Why is no one talking about this gem?
Bro you are the best you list is the best sorry for my english
Best list of all.
I liked cyber shadow ALOT
Great video
Thank you very much :)
Go play Rayman if u haven’t. U MUST.10/10 GAME. BEST 2D PLATFORMER IN MY OPINION
I don't know if it's more considered a puzzle game than a 2d platformer but Koloro is a great, cheap game.
Benjamin Retallack I bought it recently for cheap. The music is so beautiful.
Too slow! Got it for free and couldn't stand its pace! Glad you enjoy it tho
Sergio PM really? I love this game. It’s 1 of the most relaxing games I’ve ever played and very different to anything I’ve played before. I’ve recently been loving these types of games.
@@grahamkelly8662 Fair enough! I just prefer challenging fast paced games (Celeste, Mario Maker and Trials Rising are my most played).
Sergio PM I bought Celeste only recently. Not played it yet tho. I wish Nintendo didn’t constantly have sales, because I’m buying way more then I can play and it’s getting annoying.
In my opinion super Yoshi is so easy it feels more like a sandbox/open world game with a few collectibles, that’s why I don’t really it
Is "Freedom! Do or Die" available on the Switch? That would be so cool! I only have it on PC.
11:15 ITS GRU
Is celeste really that great? This type of graphics makes me dizzy so I wonder if its worth a purchase.
It’s good, it’s not the best, but if you go in expecting a decent game with good value for the price and not a GOAT platformer it’s worth a play
Yooka laylee is awesome flat out awesome
Ori and Will of the wisps
What’s with your gems in shovel knight?
I would have chosen Super Mario Maker 2, which is infinitely superior to U Deluxe
I have no idea why Mario maker 2 was not in the list ,it's a really good game and way better than super Mario Bros u Dulux
have you no played celeste yet?
What are you waiting for?
Celeste rules AND catana Zero best action gane 2D
Is the Trine series not on this list because it is 2.5D ?? Or just possibly honorable mention ?
For me it's an honorable mention. They're great games, and I completely understand why others would rank it in their top 15
You can’t claim any game as the “Best Of All Time” if you didn’t play a Super Mario game until Super Mario 3. All time = All Time. The best you ever played? Fine.
Hollow knight makes me fuckun rage
I just wanna know if I should buy Hollow knight or Rayman gosh dangit!
That's a tough choice o.O both are so good. If time means anything to you, Hollow Knight is a longer game with over 20 hours of gameplay. Rayman Legends is around 10 hours
I made my decision and bought both. Lol No regerts!!
the end is nigh
Anyone ever play Goblin Sword? Fantastic platformer for $1.99!!!
where is trine series (expect of trine 3)
goblin sword 💯
Great video but sonic mania was disrespected immensely
Love all these games except the Yoshi game. The soundtrack was AWFUL in my opinion and I got it solely for co-op, and it was so bad. They made it so you always get in the way of each other, it was super super frustrating and unplayable.
I think the list was great but i think Mario Maker 2 should replace u deluxe ..
That's fair. I can completely understand that
Monster Sanctuary
Is The End is Nigh more puzzle-based or just going from point A to point B?
