Top 25 BEST MUST PLAY Nintendo Switch Games in 2024

How many of these 25 Nintendo Switch games do you have? Which one is your favorite?

the switch is unfun and garbage

Astral chain

This was exactly what I needed. I'm trying to find good Switch exclusives games to keep me from buying the Steam Deck 😅

So far I only have 2 of them, about to have 3, and definitely want to get more.

Owned 24% of the list. I also have xc1 and 2

The Switch is my favourite console of all time, hands down. And this is mainly due to three reasons:

1. The hybrid concept
I really think the concept of a hybrid system is timeless. You can play wherever you want and whenever you want, and you can play them all offline regardless where you are. That is so cool! I think even in 10, 15, 20 years later, this concept will still be super fun to enjoy. Because of this concept, I no longer fight with my family over a TV at home (this used to happen a lot when someone in my family wanted to watch sports on the TV and I wanted to play on my Wii or Wii U). It has brought a certain peace to my family, for which I am very grateful. I really can see me using my Switch as a second console even after the Switch 2 came out after a few years. The OG Switch on the go, and switch 2 docked on the TV.

2. The insane big Gaming Library
The Library of the Switch is so big, it's literally insane. I have over 182 games for my switch, and i barely finished 5% of my collection. This is the biggest pile of shame i ever had for a Nintendo console XD. Yeah there are a lot of remakes and remasters on the switch, but a lot of them are games that i desperately want to play on the go or on the big screen back then. Also, a lot of them are Remasters and Remakes of high quality games. I hope the rumors are true and the Switch 2 is backwards compatible, because i want to sent my switch games to the Switch 2. But i think thats a save bet.

3. The insane amount of cool Accessoires for the Switch
Just like with the games, I also had as many accessories for a console as for the Switch. I have a power bank with an improved kickstand, AR glasses from XREAL, countless controllers, dongles, normal kickstands, docks, etc. You can do so much with the Switch, much more than with a classic home console or handheld. Combined with the hybrid concept, the Switch is the most comfortable console of all time. Simply because you can adapt it precisely to your way how you play videogames. I hope that most of my accessories still work with the Switch 2. This could save me a lot of money.

I have the feeling that the reasons mentioned above also play a big role in why the Switch is so successful and popular. That and the reason that many people blindly trust Nintendo when it comes to handheld consoles. And that's been the case since the Gameboy came out.

Donkey kong country tropical freeze has left the chat

Kirby >>>

I have:
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle
Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope
Astral Chain
Bayonetta 3
Metroid Dread
Super Mario Odyssey
Kirby and the Forgotten Land

I had SMT V, though I ended up dropping it as I found it underwhelming compared to SMT IV.

Astral Chain is my favorite of the group.

😃

Most Nintendo games are distinctive and it is very difficult to choose between them , like choosing between chocolate and strawberry ... 🍫🍓🍫🍓🍫🍓🍫🍓🍫🍓🍫🍓 .... 😋😋😋😍💖💕💖💕 ....

Hey aero i can play this in my pc with the use of emulator

I'd actually put RingFit at #1. It's not the most fun game, but it's the most fun workout.

Astral Chain and SMTV are ignored gems.

What a library man ❤😊

other than Mario party and pokemon games, I own all of them

I honestly think XBC3, Metroid, LoZ TotK, Astral chain, Splatoon 3 and SMO are system sellers 😊 it absolutely worth it to buy a switch just to play 1 of these games. I myself did buy the switch just to play Mario Odyssey ❤ then of course it's games rapidly kept growing in my personal library

fire emblem 3 houses is still my favorite switch game

Was it just me or did it feel like he was reading the back of the cases?

Hi. Is it still worth buying a switch lite or oled or just wait for the new switch model? And while waiting, can play on emulators and on my other old consoles?

i've owned/played 11 of these games

Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Metroid Dread, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Kirby and the Forgotten Lands.

My top 10 favorite switch games

Arceus over Three Houses hurts man 😭😭 it was otherwise a great list lol

I think the definitive edition of DQ11 is also another good game on the Switch. Probably best JRPG alongside Xenoblade 1 for me.

im biased towards number 1 but putting those biases aside i cant help but agree anyways

I've played hundreds of Switch games but only 12 of these

Sparks of hope is definitely my all time favorite.

no Fortnite?!??

I owned 10/25 games mentioned, which is around 40%
You also forgot peak video game Everybody 1-2 Switch. 🗿

I would say I only have 15% of the list and the only series I have every game for is Xenoblade
This was a fun watch, and a great 25 games list!

Nice list yo all of these games are great

Pokémon Scarlet and Violet 💀

Of those 25-ish switch games I have owned/played about 80% of them, and many of them I do consider to be very good games, some even being some of my favorites of all time. Also most of the other switch games I would've recommended are multiplatform now💀, but I'd still recommend the likes of Dragon Quest 11 S Echoes of an Elusive Age Definitive Edition and Monster Hunter Rise if you can find them since they're both still pretty good games.

I agree with Spider-Man 2 at number 1. It really showcased how well a game could run on the Switch's ancient hardware, and it was a really fun game.
