I probably would have included Three Houses, Triangle Strategy, and maybe Dragon Quest XI or Luigi’s Mansion 3 but there’s no denying all 31 of those are excellent games.

The Ori's, "Donkey Kong the Tropical Freeze" , "Luigi's Mansion 3" and "Bayonetta Origins: Cereza and the Lost Demon" should have been in this list in my opinion!

People forget that Stardew Valley was in the eshop charts top 5 for more than TWO years! That game sold gangbusters on the Switch and is probably still selling well to this day.

I can't believe Switch has arguably the best of their franchises all on once console. Arguably the best 2D Mario, best 3D Mario, 2D Metroid, Zelda, Mario Kart, Smash, Luigi's Mansion, Kirby. It's amazing.

Overall great list, however here are a few games that were omitted that I would include in a list like this: Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3 Deluxe, Super Mario Maker 2, Legend of Zelda Skyward Sword HD, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Doom, and Undertale/Deltarune.

FE: Three Houses is missing. That's WILD. Could easily be a top 5 game on the Switch.

Great list! My personal bias is sad that neither of the two Fire Emblem games made it on the list, but I realize FE is one of the bigger Nintendo IPs that isn’t everyone’s jam

man your channel is easily my favorite channel so far, ive been playing Nintendo console/games since i was 4 but stopped at 14+ to Xbox and then PC now im strictly PC & Nintendo again and it feels so good getting away from mainstream multiplayer games. absolutely love it so refreshing and your channel really helps out a lot keep up the great work!

Tropical Freeze, FE: Three Houses, and Luigi's Mansion 3 should be here for sure

I loved three houses, definitely top 5 switch game for me.

I can’t believe Astral Chain is not on the list

Seeing Ghost Trick randomly crop up in the middle of this list made me so happy ^_^ It's a game that's got the great and humorous character writing of Ace Attorney, fantastic animation, a wonderful art style, a toe-tapping soundtrack and most importantly... the story is short, and fast-paced and entirely gripping. I've had friends who don't usually have the patience for VNs play through this to the end and have a really good time with it. So sufficed to say... I think it's a fantastic and accessible time! I've definitely got a lot of nostalgic bias, granted: I've also played this game through on the DS, on IOS and through an emulator on Android countless times over the years before the recent remaster. With that being said htough; to anyone who's at all curious about the game, I'd definitely recommend giving the demo a whirl and see what you think :)

Thanks for this awesome list Alex. With a library so big, it's great to see some top picks. And with Alex presenting them it become super fun to watch.

I can’t believe Astral Chain was not included here, such an underrated jewel which is also a Switch exclusive.

I think Switch library is the best library Nintendo ever created.

Just going to come down here and remind people that both Astral Chain and Nier Automata exist on switch, and are argaubly two of Platinum Games very best!

NO ASTRAL CHAIN 😮

Not seeing Astral chain makes me sad but doesn't surprise me, not seeing sparks of hope surprises me, but i'd rather seen astral chain.
