Super mario Odyssey is such a gem and I hope the next Mario game could possibly be a sequel! Another game that turned out to be really good on the switch was Dragon Quest 11!

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is a masterpiece. It's been my favorite Switch game since the very day I played it. Since then, I'm now a lifelong fan of the Fire Emblem series.

*Long live Three Houses!*

I could talk about the elephant in the room(for me) being Kirby, but honestly the fact that you gave Origami King a mention is very refreshing. I admittedly didn't grow up with the OG Paper Mario games like many, but I found that game to be a blast with really good humor and exploration.

[dannytkong]

Astral chain definitely deserves a mention

[joshuamohlman]

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is probably my favorite game next to Breath of the Wild because of the amount of replay value it offers. It’s such a blast by yourself or with friends.

[naeshaunedwards]

Glad to see Three Houses on here. The full voice acting and voice acting work, music and very well written characters alone make it worthy of being on this list

[shadowvelvet]

The fact that Astral Chain isn't on the list is a bit baffling to me, easily one of my all-time favourite games, it's just SO MUCH FUN

[Anpeo]

Missing Mario 3D World. Absolute blast as a 4 people party game. ❤

[pepito]

As a kid

I often struggled to finish story based video games by myself

But when I got the switch

I actually got to finish games like Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Mario Odyssey

Mario Odyssey was definitely a blast, it may not be as praised as other games like 64 or Galaxy but it still means a lot to me

Odyssey Yessy!!!!

[waheedabdullah]

They can put port games on the list like Donkey Kong Country Returns & Bayonetta 2, but they can't put other Switch games like Astral Chain, Splatoon 3, Hades, or Ring Fit Adventures

[Randomark]

Nice to see Fire Emblem Three Houses high on the list. That game is a masterpiece.

[phantomrequim]

I really enjoyed playing Pokemon Legends Arceus. I got to see some of my favorite pokemon in Hisuian form and even got to catch Arceus! Very fun game!

[BallnB]

I love all of them! Mario Odyssey is still my favorite one! Can't wait for the next main Mario game!

[tarrker]

Forgotten Land is an appropriate name for a game that I didn't even know existed until now. Seriously, though? How have I not heard of this game? If I knew there was a legit Kirby game for the Switch I would have gotten it already.

[jameswrhymer]

Mario 3D World, Let's Go Pikachu, and Clubhouse Games are 3 other timeless Switch games I'd recommend, but this is a solid list! ❤

[Just_Some_Guy_with_a_Mustache]

Smash Ultimate is the only place you can see Solid Snake be creeped out by an Enderman and Kazuya throw everyone from your childhood off the edge. And I can't tell you how many people got hit with the "When You Walk Away" when Sora was announced.

[ArataShizunai]

Good to see Fire Emblem Three Houses in 4th place, has been my favorite game since 2019 and i still play strategy games likes these.

[estrelluna]

I got splatoon 2 late but very grateful to play it when lockdown happen. The experience is just amazing. I can only imagine the first one splatoon. I even got the chance to experience splatfest.
