Nintendo Switch Games I Can't Live Without

Ойындар

The Nintendo Switch has a vast library of games. Most of us will never play all the games that have been released for it. I don't have time to play a significant portion of them. I also don't want to gamble on games that I might no like playing. These are a few games I've played many times and have enjoyed loved each play through.

    Fantastic video again! I'm with you that the graphics are astounding in Link's Awakening remake. In my personal opinion easily some of the best visual design in any 3D game alongside Wind Waker and Color Splash (+ Origami King later). 😊🎨 It's so great that Nintendo plays around with quite daring different graphic styles for a lot of their games (Toon Zelda, watercolor Zelda, diorama Zelda, yarn Kirby, clay Kirby, yarn Yoshi, paper Mario, hand drawn with Wario Land Shake it, "Home made B-games" with Wario Ware etc). Hopefully the trend will continue.

Specially when you showed your collection with lots of games in plastic. I'm exactly the same. I have maybe 40+ games but have only played a handful of games mainly due to time restrictions.

    Amazing video! I really love your style of commentary, editing and music. I recently got a new oled switch and was looking for what games to buy. I have been a playstation gamer all my life but recently decided to get a gaming pc and switch to try the exclusives gems there. I already bought 3 of the 5 games u mentioned when I got my switch and I admit I decided to avoid metroid dread because I have heard how difficult it can get. I have been a trophy hunter for a decade but recently stopped it and don't want to stress over games so I'll skip droid but man that donkey kong tropical freeze game seems like a dream come true type of game for sure. Most lists and videos I saw mentioned the other games but you are the first one who I saw mention it and I like the game so much from your brief clips so I'll definitely buy it soon. Thank you for the great video and recommendation! Hope your channel blows up and you get the attention you deserve. I can tell the effort you put in, it's sad some low effort youtubers get way more views than you but I believe with your continuous hard work you will definitely get there amongst the big boys! I wish you the best I am truly impressed!

    Thank you so much for watching this video! That's cool you've decided to branch out from PlayStation. I did the same thing years ago. I now play all the consoles. I guess it's a blessing and a curse because I like them all and they cost lots of money. I think I'll probably go to the PC next generation for Xbox and PlayStation games. That seems to be the most cost effective method. The Metroid series was really difficult for me to get into. I had heard about it way back when I was very young. I gave the original a try, but it just wasn't a game I thought was fun. I couldn't figure anything out. I then got Metroid 2 for my Game Boy. The same thing happened with it. I skipped Super Metroid, Zero Mission, Fusion, and all the Prime games. I bought Samus Returns on the 3DS, which is a re-imagining of Metroid 2, on launch day. Again, I could not get into it. But, when Dread was announced I decided to give these games a serious try. I went back to Samus Returns because I was traveling a lot during that time and I always had my 3DS with me. This time the game just clicked with me and I fell in love with it! I ended up playing through Zero Mission, Super Metroid, Fusion, and then Dread once it released. Metroid has become one of my favorite gaming franchises in existence! They are difficult games, but not unfair. They always give you what you need to get through it. They are games you need to practice to get good at playing. I also played Metroid Prime Remastered and that was also amazing! I can't recommend Dread enough. I think it's kind of disappeared recently, which is a shame. It definitely deserves to be played. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze is one of my favorite games ever. Definitely top 5 of all time. I couldn't wait for it to come out of the Wii U. Once it did, it was unbelievable great! I always wanted a portable version of it. I'm glad Nintendo released on the Switch. I've been able to play it way more now that it's on there. I would recommend it over almost every other game. I hope you end up getting it. If you do, give me an update on what you think about it. Thanks again for watching the video! I'm really glad you liked it. I'm filming another one right now.

    link’s awakening really gives a nostalgic feel when I played it. the soundtrack was on point and non repetitive. the character gives subtle clue to plot, and it gives a really decent mix of battle mechanics and good storytelling. it didn’t make you feel like you’re playing a dungeon game, it just unfold story after story. the next thing you know, it’s near the ending already. the only downside is pricing, it should be priced at 40% of zelda botw pricing, and I’m lucky enough to buy it secondhanded at that price 😊

    Great list! Link's Awakening took me by surprise. I never played the original, hadn't played any Zelda games except BOTW, and kinda passed it off as being a bit "childish" for my tastes, but that was a mistake! Eventually got around to playing it and it's an absolute masterpiece, and one of the few games that I would basically consider to be perfect (I have since played the original and I hold the same opinion for that one as well). It's definitely one of my "comfort food" games.

    Small (and probably last) 2DS update in my 2023 journey: I have completed almost every game I ever wanted to play on this console. A couple of ones are still pending: -Luigi's Mansion 1/2, which I am reserving for October as part of the Halloween theme -Animal Crossing, which I am reserving as my last 2DS game Currently I am playing Mario & Luigi Superstar Saga, and will play Bowser's Story after that. Loving the game so far. On the side I have a ton of DS games I will play, like the Castlevania Order of Ecclesia, the Kirby games and The World ends with You. I wish the Switch were a special console to me as well, but I can't justify giving money to Nintendo in its current state towards consumers and with the existence of (imo) a superior competitor such as the Steam Deck.

    Great video and great list of games. I personally love the original Link's Awakening and its my favorite Zelda game of all time and my one of my most favorite games all around. I love everything about that game from the musical score (Sword search being my favorite) to the stories from the characters you meet along the way. Also the only game to make me feel sad when I finished it. Waking the Wind Fish means all the people you have bonded on that tiny island will be gone forever. Also realized that the reason monsters are trying to stop you from waking the wind fish is that they want to continue their existence. Makes you think are they really evil?

    Great video as always man and pretty solid list. It’d be really hard for me to put together a top 5 for the switch. I honestly feel like I got my most memorable experiences from indie games. 1. Hollow Knight 2. Celeste 3. Enter the Gungeon 4. Hyper Light Drifter 5. A Short Hike But when it came to Nintendo I’d have to say 1. Tears of the Kingdom 2. Metroid Dread 3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 4. Smash Bros Ultimate 5. Animal Crossing: New Horizons The other ports were really good too but if I could only choose 10 games to keep for the switch I’d be fine with keeping Tropical Freeze, 3D World, and Pikmin 3 on the Wii U.

    Indie games are so good! They are filling the gaps where these big companies are overlooking. All the games you listed are great! Except I haven't even heard of A Short Hike. I'm going to have to look into it. All the games you listed for the Switch are awesome. I haven't gotten into Animal Crossing though. I've heard so many good things about it.

    I agree with all of it! (For the most part...) I haven't played Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze or Metroid Dread so I cannot speak for them, but all of the other ones are great! My favorite is probably BOTW, but Links Awakening holds a close second. Excellent video as always!

    Thank you for watching it! The Switch has so many good Zelda games. As for Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze and Metroid Dread, those are the two games I didn't want to put down the most when I was capturing footage. Metroid in particular. I forget how great that game really is. It definitely should be talked about more.
