 So today I thought it would be fun to do a little something different with the holiday season almost upon us and go ahead and rank some of the best games on Nintendo switch. You can see we have a whole bunch of stuff here a lot of the exclusives a few key third-party games as well know this list isn't like the entire compilation of every game ever released on switch and there's some notable omissions and we have a weird thing like tears of the kingdom listed twice look I didn't make this list of games full full credit but I'll put a link down to where you guys can can do this for yourself as well but when I look up here you can kind of see how we're going to rank them we got best games fantastic amazing solid good all right meant dislike hated and didn't play didn't play category I think is important because it's hard to rank games that you obviously haven't experienced but I thought this would just be a fun experiment as many of you guys might be looking for holiday gifts or games for yourself and you know what maybe some of these games you're not thinking of and you want to know are they any good so hey you don't have to care about Mr. Nintendo Prime over here but we're going to try our best to do what we can if you're enjoying this kind of content be sure to subscribe and you know maybe we'll make more content like this so we're just going to kind of go in order here we see we have Hyrule Warriors age of calamity now I actually really enjoyed Hyrule Warriors age of calamity you know it's up there with like the best games I'm going to go ahead and you know for some reason solid is above good I feel like solid and all right are sort of the same thing so we're going to go with solid on this one I just feel like that's the appropriate category for it this game here I just didn't play it I think this is Shimagami Tensei 5 I didn't play that one so that's where that one goes now we get to our first sports game Mario Golf Superstars or Super Rush or whatever I did play this game the game plays really good but it's really lacking content so we're going to go ahead and stick this in the I'm going to go with all right it's just all right it lacks content I wouldn't pay full price for it today but you know we have WarioWare get it together this is one of those that I just kind of thought was meh I think the WarioWare franchise is getting a little stale at this point now Celeste I didn't beat it fully right I didn't beat it fully but what I played was good now I'm not very good at these really hardcore platformers so for people who absolutely think that side scrolling difficult platformers are like the best it might go higher up for me we're going to put that in the good category I liked it a little bit less than Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity Skyrim look we know what Skyrim is at this point right I'm going to go ahead and put this up in the it's a really good port let's go with the amazing category on Skyrim look it's an all-time classic if you haven't played it yet what's wrong with you it's on everything I mean it was on Amazon Alexa at one point 50 clubhouse 51 game 51 games gonna go ahead and put that right up next to Hyrule Warriors look it's a bunch of board games classic games like it's it's really good and hey you should play it pick me three deluxe look Pikmin's awesome we're gonna go up here and we're gonna stick this next to Skyrim look Pikmin three deluxe is great it's one of my favorite Pikmin games unfortunately a newer Pikmin game is actually better Mario Odyssey literally one of my favorite games it goes right up there on best games it's my favorite Mario game of all time even ahead of Mario Wonder we have Super Mario Party now this one got better thanks to a free DLC update so looking today when you guys are you know add online and stuff so looking today when you guys might be looking for a game to add to your library I have to consider the content of it today not at launch we're gonna go ahead and put that in the solid category as well now look I'm a bit of a sucker for the Pokemon let's go I'm a bit of a sucker for them I'm not gonna say that it's like solid amazing or anything like that we're gonna go ahead and slap this we'll go we'll go with the next to that look I'm a Gen 1er so for me it's probably a bit higher but I think for most people in general it'll probably situate right next to Mario Golf just in terms of quality but Bowser's Fury great stuff here really love this this is gonna go right up and amazing Super Mario 3D World is also really good if you haven't played it this is a great combo pack especially you haven't played 3D World I didn't play this so we're gonna slap that right there Tetris 99 it doesn't really matter anymore we're just gonna slap it out of here ah you know what no Tetris 99 still look it's good it's good let's go ahead and put this in the good category next up Autopath Traveler look guys I love Autopath Traveler anyone who's followed my channel for a long time knows my thoughts on this game we're gonna go ahead and put that in the fantastic category it's not one of the best but it is up there it is close Cuphead look is there any debate that's going right next to Autopath Traveler Cuphead's amazing I'm so glad we have that series on your Breath of the Wild sorry that's S tier one of the best games on on the platform I don't think that's really much debatable now we get to uh superstars Super Mario Party superstars I actually think is a little bit better than Super Mario Party in my opinion so we're gonna go ahead and put that in the amazing category I think it's just got more content I think it's just a better game better mini games and for some reason people just aren't buying it I know more heroes 3 unfortunately didn't play that one my turn to rise I did play and I actually found this to be really really good we're gonna go ahead and stick this in the amazing category I think it's right on par with all of those games right there uh next up we have Dragon Quest come on is this 11 I think this is 11 right yeah this is Dragon Quest 11 um let's go ahead and slap Dragon Quest 11 up here in the amazing categories but you can see the amazing category is where I might be ranking a lot of games today Starlink Battle for Atlas if you haven't played it it's a really really good game we're gonna go ahead and slap this in the solid category I do like it more than Celeste in Tetris 99 you do not have to buy all the mini figures to play it it's got literally technically you could argue with sort of our own Star Fox game because you look Fox McClouds in the game it is what it is bravely default to haven't played this one so unfortunately I have to slap it here but I would say that this is probably a pretty high up there game Astral Chain okay Astral Chain is utterly fantastic if you have not played it find it on discount this holiday you need to pick it up you will not regret it it is an amazing experience come on Mario Kart 8 look can this be anything but Astier look I realize it's not an exclusive but after all the DLC and everything come on we can't deny Mario Kart 8 is literally one of the best games it's best in the franchise Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 another really good game let's go put that in the good category I don't necessarily like it more than these but I did really enjoy it and I I just don't think it's quite as good as the first two but Nintendo did pay to make me and I'm really happy Pac-Man 99 we'll also put that in the good category I did enjoy Pac-Man 99 now we get to an all-time classic Super Mario 3D All-Stars this is a tough one for me I own it I didn't play a lot of it but I love all of the games like like where do I where do I put this I put it here not I mean look these are Astier games individually you know what no no I can't we we got to go one row down from Astier they did not include Mario Galaxy 2 which is the superior Mario Galaxy game no soup for you you get knocked out of tier because you're missing a game that should be included all right cadence of Hyrule great game we're going to go ahead and stick this in the solid tier if you have not played cadence of Hyrule a spit-off game combining an indie franchise with Zelda it's very good if you love Zelda music it's extremely good I'll go ahead and do that now look I don't really care what among us it's fine I will put it in the mid category I'm not like a huge among us person Advance Wars 1 plus 2 reboot camp we're going to slap that in the all right look I really enjoyed the original releases second go around I just didn't enjoy it quite as much we're going to slap it there shout out to Nintendo they did send me the game for free but yeah wonderful 101 again this is better than people think but it's also not like the greatest game to ever come out of platinum I didn't really play it on switch but I did play and beat it on Wii U we're gonna go ahead and slap it in the good category because it is a good game next up Link's Awakening like I'm a sucker for Link's Awakening you might start to see a theme here not quite on the power of these three games so we're gonna slap it down here in fantastic but Link's Awakening remake was really damn good uh Super Smash Bros Ultimate look it's the best smash ever like I'm not even big into fighting games it's the best Smash Bros game ever in my opinion some people might argue melee you're wrong um best best smash game ever uh next up we have Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze another really really fantastic game uh you know what it's so good I am going to slap it in the fantastic category I do think it's on par with these I know this one just keeps standing out to me I feel like this should no I can't again there's no galaxy too all right all right let's go on this video's gonna last forever if we don't keep going Pokemon Unite don't care about actually I did play it I can't say that I'll say disliked I wasn't a huge fan of Unite I'm sorry guys uh here we go with Damon X Makina this one is just meh you know it could have been really really good uh it's a solid game if you're really into mech games you might hit but this this is my tier list this isn't a game I would suggest to people this holiday but you know if you can find it on the cheap why not uh Ring Fit Adventure really good we're gonna give this a solid category you know I think it fits right in with these group of games you can argue Age of Calamity should maybe be a bit higher but it's a Warriors game and if you're not into that style of game it's not gonna do it for you but Ring Fit Adventure is really good I do use it myself in my workout workout regime I mean uh didn't play unfortunately uh see didn't play this one either unfortunately Animal Crossing I assume this isn't looks like New Horizons um I think New Leaf might be New Leaf's probably a better one but this is just Switch releases man I'm gonna stick Animal Crossing in the fantastic cat you know you know what I didn't really keep playing it after the first year this is the first Animal Crossing I didn't do that I'm actually gonna bring it down a tier I I don't know something about Animal Crossing New Horizons I love the terraforming and the island mechanics and I love the DLC they added I just I don't know man it couldn't keep me playing like the prior ones maybe I'm just growing out of the franchise but New Leaf kept me going for many many years still a really good game if you haven't played it and you're into like life simulation games you should absolutely pick it up might be the best life simulation game on switch but uh we're gonna just go with amazing on that I think that's fair um yeah okay this game's awesome this game this thing just automatically jumps up here uh if you haven't played the the fe encore the crossover game back from Wii U you're really missing out that that that's a fantastic game uh okay Mario Sonic at the Olympic Games any version of this I kind of just think is meh uh I don't think I don't dislike it they're just meh um here's our first hated sorry sorry brilliant diamond shining pearl fans I hated Pokemon BDSP beat the damn game on live stream hated everything about BDSP get out of here uh don't know what this game is we're gonna slap them there sorry for those that recognize it um Mario tennis aces again solid I I can't go better like the gameplay is great the tournaments are fun it's lacking content in single player I can't go higher than an all right on it I just can't uh arms I actually like arms I think arms is probably a better quality game so we're gonna go with good on this one I think it fits right in with the games I'm sitting here I know people are gonna already so I get it some you guys really into it it's my tier list band out of three amazing not sure if it's quite better than band out of one which I think is the best game in the series uh but I do think that it's pretty amazing I think it can stand um looking at these games I think you can stand tototo monster hunter rise animal crossing Bowser's fury Pikmin 3 I think that's a fair place to put that game next to and again a solid pickup if you can find it on a slight discount Nintendo Labo um I just didn't like it I'm just gonna be honest I bought like all the stuff it wasn't great Hollow Knight look I enjoyed Hollow Knight better than Celeste um man I'm looking at how I rank things right now I have to put this one in the solid category uh no I can't dude Hollow Knight's amazing I'm sorry I don't know what I'm apologizing for if you haven't played Hollow Knight go get it maybe don't convince him to get the hook song out sooner I don't really care about this game we'll just I don't hate it I'm just gonna say I didn't play I didn't play this one unfortunately now sparks of hope I love sparks of hope it's not a best game it I would probably say it's at the amazing category yeah I'm gonna leave it I think the original is better that's probably one's gonna go up a tier Luigi's Mansion 3 bam I'm sorry it's one of the best games on switch if you don't think so you're just wrong uh Pokemon Snap new Pokemon Snap really enjoyed this one um I guess it could go amazing or could go good I think we're gonna go with uh I'm looking at my tears here I'm just gonna go with solid on this one uh look the franchise has always been I don't expect anything else from it the game is perfect for what I want it to be it's just you know the appeal of that only goes so far with me taking pictures of Pokemon and stuff so we're gonna go there Pokemon let's go Eevee again it has to be where did I put the other let's go game yeah it's gotta go right in the all right category you know this is the same game uh Bayonetta 2 this came out I did say this is better than Bayonetta 3 where did I put Bayonetta 3 Bayonetta 3 where are you there it is so you gotta go from the fantastic because I think Bayonetta 2 is better uh Yoshi's Crafted World it's good it's just a solid game I got no complaints super easy but it's a lot of fun to play with your your kids and stuff uh Travis Strikes Back uh didn't play this one unfortunately uh the original Hyrule Warriors and this one has all of the content uh I don't think it's as good as uh Age of Calamity so we're gonna slap that in the good category I think it fits them are pretty good one two switch I think is look I'm gonna I'm gonna go admit I want to switch I look it's fine it's just fine look the Witcher 3 port was pretty good uh we're gonna we're gonna slap the Witcher 3 port here up in the good category I think it fits nice along all of those it's not like it's a fantastic game you probably should play it on a different system uh but it's it's pretty good especially when it first came out Dragon Quest Builders sorry I'm just not a big fan of the Dragon Quest Builder stuff uh didn't play this one uh Hades Hades is up here you know I'm gosh Hades is going up here I'm sorry I it's right there with Cuphead for one of my like favorite indie games of all time Hades has got to be up there uh New Super Mario Bros you it's just all right it's just all right it's not it's not fantastic now Doom now we're gonna say this goes for Doom and Doom Eternal because there's no other listing and those ports are amazing uh we're gonna put those right up there in the amazing category it just Doom or Doom Eternal uh or Doom 64 or all the dooms all the Doom games just just slap them into that because there's no other Doom listed here so we're just gonna say all the Doom games on switch combine them all together and you're sitting there at an amazing get any of them Pokemon Shield sorry didn't like it guys Pokemon Legends are see us though sorry I don't know what I'm apologizing for it is one of the best Pokemon games of all it might be the best Pokemon game of all time I sorry not sorry uh this is another one that's solid I like Kirby star eyes uh eyes we'll throw that one up there Xenobite Chronicles 2 pretty good a bit rough at launch performance wise uh but I I think this that this probably deserves to be up here next to doom oh okay good it expanded the category I didn't know what was gonna happen uh Pokemon like yeah I just don't like those games um the DLC ooh Xenobite Chronicles 2 DLC is almost better you know what no we we gotta put it with the base we just can't do that to it uh Mario maker 2 not a huge Mario maker guy I'm just gonna go all right I can't beat anyone's levels um and I suck at making levels so it ended up not being that fun to me I did not play this game Xenobite Chronicles a definitive edition I mean come on that's that's right up there Xenobite Chronicles 2 let's see here we have color splash oh get I mean origami king okay it's origami I was like color splash origami king origami king is just solid uh let's see here oh here we go kingdom metal uh this goes up in the amazing category or the fantastic sorry just ahead of sparks of hope it is uh slightly better than sparks of hope but I mean I can't call it like the best of the best right we got to say that for the best of the best uh we're gonna say this is a combo of Splatoon 2 and Splatoon 3 because Splatoon 3 is not listed it doesn't look like so uh to pretend this is Splatoon 3 and we're gonna go ahead and put that up in one of the best games on switch that's just in my opinion Ninjala Ninjala is a little bit of a letdown uh I'm just gonna say it's a myth it's a little bit of a letdown it's free to play though uh Fire Emblem Warriors I actually enjoy this a bit more we're gonna put that in the all right category I actually enjoyed Fire Emblem Warriors a bit Boxboy Box Girl it's pretty solid we'll go in the all right category with that one as well there's Zelda 2 we can ignore that one because we already have tears of the kingdom twice for some reason uh we got uh Skyward Sword HD it's the best version of Skyward Sword I'm a bit of a sucker for Zelda uh it is not in the fan the best game tier uh do I put it next to Link's Awakening yeah you know what I I do like Skyward Sword a lot it's one of my favorite Zelda games yeah we we gotta put it there next to Link's Awakening uh let me get tears of the kingdom come on come on one one one of the goats in my opinion it is the goat but whatever Fire Emblem Engage unfortunately I haven't played yet I'm so sorry guys um I did play I get to play this a little bit we're gonna put this in the good category for right now I got to play more of that one uh Pikmin 4 I am not kidding you it is one of the best games on Switch you need to play if you've never played any prior Pikmin game it doesn't matter play Pikmin 4 I I kid you not Autopet Traveler 2 let's see here you know what I technically didn't play it I can't I can't sit there and pretend I definitely didn't play it our last game to throw up here is Super Mario Bros Wonder look it's literally like the best side swimming Mario game of all time or one of them I mean it's the best I've played since I was a little kid that's for sure so there's a quick look at our list if you can see these are the must-have games I feel if you don't own any of these games you should definitely look to pick them up this holiday season or that's Odyssey Breath of the Wild Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Super Smash Bros Ultimate Luigi's Mansion 3 Pokemon Legends RCS Splatoon 2 or 3 probably should get 3 right now tears of the kingdom Pikmin 4 and Mario Wonder and pretty much all these games I would say from the amazing on up like we don't for some reason they didn't have the Kirby game on here right Kirby in the Forgotten Land I'd have that up in the best category as well that would be up here but unfortunately they didn't have this one listed so if you're looking for ideas for holiday games this holiday this is how I would personally rank them and most of these games from amazing on up I would definitely say you should purchase if you happen to have a different taste for games some of these down here might appeal to you and these are just games I didn't play so I can't rank them and then you know what dislike hated meh like I just these are sort of like regrettable games and purchases I've made so it is what it is anyways guys thank you so much for being here hopefully you enjoyed this kind of video just trying something new today you guys are awesome we'll catch you in the next video
