Getting the Switch OLED tomorrow, never played on Nintendo before, just played on PS and Xbox in the past…think I’m getting BOTW for my first game

[KevSB]

Criminal that Astral Chain wasn’t even mentioned
The single most underrated switch game

[ezralaguna]

Missing Arms, Xenoblade and Astral Chain. And Dread soon!

[themightyjagrafess]

Glad to see lots of Astral Chain love in these comments, that game's great.

[UncleJessy]

Fantastic list. I still haven’t even scratched the surface of breath of the wild and had it since day one 😅

[rudolphdaniel]

Astral Chain and Bayonetta 2 are must buy too 🔥🔥🔥

[iznax]

Astral Chain and Xenoblade!

I have all those + many many more Switch exclusives (more than 30) and those 2 are easily in my top 10.

[BigBossCQCLegend]

Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Edition is a Perfect Masterpiece that Should’ve been on the list

[sidewinder]

It was good opportunity to add new Metroid here.

[The_RedVIII]

Uhm, hello? Astral Chain?! IMO not only a great Switch exclusive but actually the best Platinum game I've played so far. (NIer Automata being a close second)

[XanderCrease]

Bayonetta 2 and Astral Chain. The two games that convinced me to buy a Switch, not mentioned. Bayonetta 2 scored higher than all of these games except Mario and Zelda.

[BigBossCQCLegend]

Fire Emblem Three Houses is The Greatest Tactical JRPG MasterPiece Ever Made

[DisneyMusicVideos]

The Switch is just an all out amazing console! I've been playing mine nearly everyday since I first bought it four years ago! I own every home Nintendo console back to the N64 as well as the handhelds from GBC to 3DS & the Switch is definitely the best yet!

[benwinson]

It’s refreshing to see a list like this that began with the heavy-hitters to get them out the way

[kaspervletter]

“Luigi is sensitive, gentile… and maybe even a wimp”
I died lol

[LexVanguard]

I went from having never played a Smash Bros game before, to thinking that Ultimate is the best game on the Switch. It's so fun and its replayability is like no other.

[iamalettuce]

Everybody is mad about astral chain not being here,

Donkey kong country: tropical freeze managed to somehow be better than it's predecessor, returns, which was an already amazing platformer game. honestly, to me, it's far better than new super mario bros U, and maybe even better than new super for the wii. I love tropical freeze. underrate platformer game.

[yamibros]

Astral chain, xenoblade 2 and bravely default 2

[willmgs]

I’m sure Paradise killer is great and I hadn’t heard of it…seems cool but how do you not put Astral Chain in this???
