I saw the thumb included CrossCode and came running!! Such a great game! Needs to be talked about much more!

[ankd]

Huntdown is such an awesome game, I wish more people talked about it

[RubsterWTF]

I felt like I knew most of the games in the video so, here's a few recs that I think most people here can appreciate:
Barrier X (HIGH-SPEED arcade game similar to Thumper)
Battle Princess Madelyn (Nice Ghost's and Ghouls clone)
Bomb Rush Cyberfunk (Jet Set Radio 3)
Ender Lilies (Beautiful Metroidvania)
Gal Guardians Demon Purge (Similar to Castlevania)
Infernax (NES style action platformer)
Megaton Musashi W (Mecha Action RPG)
Moon Remix RPG (English version of an obscure PSX JRPG-like)
Slave Zero X (Amazing 2D hack and slash)
Super Cyborg (If you like Contra you need to try this)
Hong Kong Massacre (Hong Kong Action Movie in game form)
The Denpa Men NEW (Sequel to 3DS RPG series)
Tormented Souls (Nice Resident Evil and Silent Hill style game)

I could be here all day listing games, the Switch is the best!

In this video, it took SNESdrunk exactly 10 minutes and 30 seconds until (after a very long hiatus, I already thought he doesn't like that game anymore!) the mention of "Ken Griffey Jr. Presents Major League Baseball"

Crosscode deserves its own video, it entered in my top 10 games of all times. It gave me that feeling of playing a great Snes game in my childhood. Finished with 70h of gameplay without the DLC

[Ichigo]

More people NEED to play Okami. It’s one of my most favorite games of all time. Such a unique experience.

[benjaminmischler]

The Talos Principle is a masterpiece of a first person puzzle game that goes on sale for $4.49 every month or so. I describe it as a mishmash of the Portal games, The Witness, The Matrix, and somehow Super Mario 64, with ancient historical settings and a deeply philosophical story told largely through found texts.

THUMPER MENTIONED!!! If you like Thumper listen to the band Lightning Bolt, the bassist for Lightning Bolt does the music for Thumper! Theyre amazing

[reillysilveira]

I recommend the Switch version of the original Phantasy Star, which is great because it includes a badly needed automapping feature for the dungeons. I also really enjoyed House of the Dead: Remake, it was great with Joy-Cons. Neon Abyss is also really fun, it's a roguelike side scroller bullet hell dungeon crawler that is surprisingly fun and addictive.

I recently discovered a hidden gem myself on the Switch. It's a game called "Astebreed, " and rarely anyone ever talks about it. It's a shmup/action game where you control a mech similar to a Gundam, and the stages constantly change from vertical to horizontal. Plus, it has an interesting story. It usually goes for $20 on the eshop, but I got it for $5 when it was on sale(plus, I had some coins so that dropped it down to $1.35). I give this a solid recommendation to anyone who likes Shmups or Mech games in general.

Dick Sportswood has to be the best meme name.

A Robot named Fight. Classic Metroid as roguelike. Extremely hidden shining gem!!!

[bigduke]

Cross Code is the best game no one has played with the exception of La Mulana.

[mistrdevine]

Love seeing Bad North on the list. I thoroughly enjoyed my time with that game. The soundscape sets such a foreboding, ominous tone. Very cool.

[Zippo_Squeeze]

I search through the switch store daily and have for years. I've NEVER known Spelunky 2 was in it. I love your channel man

[ogto]

happy to see Huntdown on the list. a real gem of 2D action, one of the few games i ever 100%ed. perfect SegaCD-style voice acting, too bad the name doesn't stand out.

[pilpyfimbleton]

The Liar Princess and the Blind Prince and The Cruel King and the Great Hero are some of my favorite gems. They're simple games, but the atmosphere is great and the stories and art SUPER endearing!

[RockerDanM]

Romancing Saga 3 is definitely my favorite of the Romancing Saga trilogy. Fun gameplay, interesting story and world, and quite a few background games and mechanics to discover.

There is a fun homebrew demake of Overcooked called "Supercooked" for SNES. Right up your alley, homebrewdrunk. A lot of care was put into that version, its pretty nice.
