My list would be completely different then IGN.

Also. I would personally count Torna as a separate game.

Pretty solid list. Kirby definitely deserves to be on it though (especially if Captain Toad can make it).

Oh and no Tropical Freeze at all? What the heck.

Surprised that Golf Story, The Messenger, Tropical Freeze and Bayonetta weren't on the list.

Where the fuck is Tropical Freeze?
Why is Hollow Knight so low?
Why is Fortnite so high?
Where the fuck is Sonic Mania?
Where the hell is Mega Man 11?
ARMS?
WHERE THE FUCK IS BAYONETTA

I don't think I've ever agreed with an IGN list.

I personally think Captain Toad and Mario + Rabbids are way too high. Also, where's tropical Freeze and Bayo 1 and 2?

Tropical Freeze getting the shaft . My list would be quite different . Some rpg games like Valkyria Chronicles 4, Battle Chasers Nightwar, and Labyrinth of Refrain would replace some of the indie games. Blossom Tales but no Golf Story, eh
 
Why would you do that?

With a few exceptions, not a bad list. I have 6 of the top 10, and I have 13 out of all 25. Really great library of games.

Right, well I can safely ignore the rest of the list.

Even though I liked the game and recommend it (though with caveats), I can agree it definitely should not be on the list. Especially not above Tropical Freeze, Golf Story, Mega Man 11, Axiom Verge, Okami HD, ...

Lots of good stuff there. Hollow Knight is far too low though. And no Tropical Freeze or Bayonetta 2 is almost criminal.

Edit - No Sonic Mania either?? wtf dudes

This is such a weird list.

Why is Hollow Knight so low, even just compared to Steamworld Dig 2 and Dead Cells?

Of all the Wii U ports why Captain Toad over Bayonetta 2 or Tropical Freeze?

Where is ARMS?

No Ys VIII, no Darkest Dungeon, no Isaac, no Labyrinth of Refrain, no Tropical Freeze...
I don't know, this is a very strange list.

Awful list.

Into the Breach is far, FAR too low, and Tropical Freeze, Okami and Bayonetta 2 not even placing when other old ports like Skyrim and MHGU do is weird as hell.

Can't say 'where is ARMS' crossed my mind, though.

All the games they have listed are good ones but there's a lot of omissionions.

Bayo 1+2, Tropical Freeze and Okami are my biggest ones..

I'd put Octopath higher; it's my favorite RPG on the system. Cool to see Celeste up there.

Crazy how much healthier the Switch library is than the Wii U, but I guess the Wii U has contributed a lot to that. :P

Hollow Knight at 18 is just pure nonsense.

There's like at least a dozen great games that haven't made it into this list, which is testament of the quality of the library overall. I'd personally definitely have included Golf Story, Okami, ARMS, Inside and Mega Man 11 straight away off of the top of my head.

List warzzz!!!

Into the Breach would be number one with a bullet on my list. You just can't beat perfection.

Bunch of entries there wouldn't even chart for me, but different strokes and all that. Solid effort with plenty of good games for sure.

Yeah, Switch has a great library.

I'm not surprised Mega Man 11 isn't there though. The IGN Nintendo crew doesn't seem all that impressed with it.

Damn, didn't know Night in the Woods was considered very good. Going to try it out eventually.
