Outside of Breath of the Wild, what is your favourite Switch game?
- Thread starter Ramsay
- Start date
Ranking each game on the list, from best to worst:
- Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition: Sure, the combat is mediocre, the world is far too big for its own good, and the sidequests suck, but the game's story and characters are some of the best I've seen in the medium.
- Fire Emblem: Three Houses: The best cast in any Nintendo game and some surprisingly good storytelling, though the map reuse can wear thin at times.
- Luigi's Mansion 3: Excellent level design that takes full advantages of the Gooigi mechanic and the other tools that the Poltergust G-00 grants. Controls are remarkably awkward, especially with regards to aiming.
- Animal Crossing: New Horizons: Good, but the game lacks content, especially compared to previous entries, and has some major QoL issues.
- Super Smash Bros. Ultimate: Immaculate mechanically, but is fatally undermined by its terrible single-player content, and its terrible online multiplayer.
- Super Mario Odyssey: I'm sure me ragging on Odyssey has become a meme of sorts, but it has to be said: Odyssey could have been a great game if not for the fact that its level design is the worst in any Mario platformer to date.
It isn't a new game and people don't think of a remaster (very likely atleast) first when the question comes up about favourite game on a console. Also XC1s combat isn't mediocre thats heressy and I demand trial by duel.
Only had a Switch since last December, but for me it'd be Odyssey. ACNH could've been my favorite if it didn't have so many annoyances like their archaic and tedious implementation of online and the complete lack of QoL improvements post-launch. That's the biggest sore point for me is that they just seemingly don't care at all about the glaring issues the game has. Pretty much any other dev would've fixed them by now if it were their game.
Putting Xenoblade 1, a remaster, in the poll over Xenoblade 2, an original game exclusive to Switch, is strange.
Splatoon 2 here! Though I adored Odyssey, I have got so much value out of Splatoon 2. Totally ready for Splatoon 3.
i voted mario but i think its actually hollow knight.
oh yeah im playing touryst right now, its great!

Would never consider botw my favorite switch game, far from it.
Splatoon 2 is my favorite, and it's Nintendo's best game since the end of the Wii.

I have a competitive side in me and no game satisfies my need to stomp people that Smash Bros right now. That's probably my game of the generation.
Mario + Rabbids! It's still my favorite Switch game, I love it so much. It was a big surprise, but that game had the Nintendo magic even though it was made by Ubi. There has to be a sequel in the works and I can't wait for it. It's surprising to me that I love this game more than any of Nintendo's own offerings (LM3 comes close), but here we are.
Now that I think about it, Mario Odyssey was the only Mario game I completed without cheat codes.
My answer too. They really hit my emotional core with that ending.
I voted for Odyssey because it's an absolutely magical experience, but three of my top five games of all time also happen to be on Switch... Bayonetta, Resident Evil 4, and Dark Souls!
Mario Odyssey. I'm on my third playthrough atm. The only thing this game lacks is a haunted mansion world.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and FFXII: TZA are my most played so I'll say those, though shout-out to Mom Hid My Game!
Fire Emblem: Three Houses. I enjoyed it so much it almost single-handedly got me re-interested in getting a 3DS again just for the Fire Emblems, and in doing so it made me discover just how great the 3DS' library was. Prior to this I loved the DS but only played a few things on 3DS and kind of wrote it off, but now I've built a nice little library of excellent games for it. All thanks to FE3H. :)
As someone who bought Switch to play BotW and Odyssey and was disappointed by both of them, weirdly my favorite game on Switch is a Mario game made by Ubisoft. Never saw that coming.
Out of the poll choices I enjoyed Fire Emblem most, but I also had some problems with the game. Mainly with the main hub area.
