I always love your enthusiasm, man. You really harness the emotions and feelings of a giddy kid on Christmas morning. You give your games a personal nature, like they're all part of you. As an older gamer (40s) I really identify and appreciate that sense of fun and attachment you have to your titles 🤘

It's a different time than when I was a kid. You used to buy a game and play that for a month. Now I've got a job and I'm drowning in releases I'll never get the chance to play.

The Nintendo Switch made me go back to Nintendo's home console gaming since the N64. Loving the system so far. Favorite Switch Game? I have to go with Octopath Traveler ,) A big hug from Portugal Johnny.

Thank you for this video. This is the best list I've seen so far! A list that I can actually relate to! Loved the RPG choices too! Thanks for including so many 3rd party games!

Awesome video and list. One of the best I’ve seen on the subject. You can tell you’ve truly played them and love them.

Your videos make me appreciate the games I already love! Thanks so much for these videos! 🤙🏽

Your passion never gets old. Loved the video.

Just recently picked up a Switch and I’m loving it. How awesome is it that they released so many great Neo Geo games on The Nintendo network.

Hey huge fan of the show Johnny thanks for the vids you make I enjoy them alot on my way to work you inspire me sir just wanted to let ya know

Great video. The switch has been my fastest growing game collection, I swear I had 11 games just a week after buying the dang thing, haven't even hit up the shop yet (had it since December). Just an all around great little console.

Bro I’ve been non stop watching your vids lol you’re a little older then me but it’s still so nostalgic!!!! 😩 🎅🏼

Nice bait ‘n’ switch by having “1-2 Switch” in the thumbnail. Well played, sir.

Nice top 10 list! I got my Switch late, but I finally got to playing Zelda BOTW and I am addicted to it, such a good game. Me and my friends spent so many hours on multipayer in Super Smash Bros back in the day not so much street fighter though. I like street fighter but I always kind of sucked at it lol. I never played an Y's game before, but I am definitely going to play Y's Vlll at some point. Have you ever played the rpg Trails Of Cold Steel? Its becoming one of my favorite rpg series this generation, I definitely recommend it.

1. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 (+ Torna: the golden country expansion - great combat system in that one!) 2. BotW 3. Ys VIII (thanks for the recommendation!) 4. Valkyria Chronicles 4 (playing it and loving it!) 5. Super Mario Odyssey

"I'm expecting a much darker Zelda game for the next one..." Great prediction!

Great list mate, greetings from Belgium

Arms is easily in my Switch top 10 also (currently counting 96 games). This game is quality over quantity in every way, roster, modes, move list, etc.

BOTW is definitely number 1! Great list Johnny!

Awesome list! I really need to check out XC2 one of these days...

Ys 8 was amazing. I was looking forward to it as soon as it was announced for the Switch and it didn't disappoint. I did absolutely everything in the game and loved every second. Xenoblade 2 was also incredible. Loved everything about the game and had to drag myself away from it to play other things. Really hard for me to pick a top 10 as I've had such a great time playing on the Switch and there have already been so many huge games out. The main one that stands out to me that you didn't mention is Splatoon 2 but there are many others

Great video

Breath of the wild is also my favorite on the switch. My only draw back to the game was the divine beasts. The game would have for sure hit it out of the park if they had actual dungeons.

I think we are at a stage where any console is good. I like my Switch for Nintendo releases but wish I had kept my PS4. The cross platform games are way cheaper on PS4 and there are a lot more of them on there. PSNow is years ahead of other system alternatives. If money is an issue Nintendo will cost you a lot more overall. Personally I probably prefer my WiiU but love the Switch and PS4 too. If you like Zelda then WiiU is the best console. You can get about 13 main titles on it and some of the side games like Crossbow, or Warriors. All Wii titles and all the WiiU titles, plus some oldies from other systems in the eshop. The WiiU is a minefield of great games. Many Switch games are on WiiU and cheaper. Bayonetta, Mario Kart and Pokken Tournament for example. Then any of the great Wii games like Radiant Dawn and Sin and Punishment to name a couple. If I had to choose only one system for life, I would go with WiiU. £90 in Cex with 2 year warranty. Can't go wrong.

I got shudders down my spine when you said you went into the forest for the Breath of the wild release, of course i already knew this and i am just re watching this episode and i just got the new switch re fresh, man the passion and lack of caring what anyone thinks is so amazing i love you bro, about to play through breath of the wild and Mario Odyssey since DooM was cancelled ill then smash through Red Dead Redemption

Games I couldn’t get into surprisingly : Octopath Traveler, South Park the fractured but whole. I may try again later with a let’s play to get me enthused or something. Regrets: Puyo Puyo Tetris Wanting to play still: DK Tropical Freeze, Labyrinth of Refrain Looking forward to putting on my future list: Yoshi, Pokemon S&S, DQXI, DQB2 (English edition), SMM2, Luigi’s Mansion 3, etc.

Checking his list, checking it twice... You did that on purpose! I agree completely on Octopath Traveler - but it really deserves three spots on this list for itself! (I mean, Primrose? GODDAMN!)

Recently started replaying breath of the wild, trying master mode this time and loving it :). I think the next few months will be dominated by the switch. So many great games coming like daemon x machina, the new fire emblem, marvel ultimate alliance, astral chain, links awakening and more :).

HappyConsoleGamer - It's amazing how people can have such different experiences and opinions. The original NES Zelda is my favorite game of all time and Breath of the Wild is among my least favorite of the series next to the DS titles. I couldn't believe that they just used Ganon over and over again as a boss fight without many other cool bosses. The regular enemy variety wasn't there either and I also missed the big themed dungeons when I was doing the shrines. I also didn't like the weapons constantly breaking and the stamina bar. I'm with you on Super Mario Odyssey though.

I also own and agree with your top 6, though in a different order.... plus I have to say Hollow Knight is my number 2 game. I was shocked that an indie platformer could beat out so many other amazing AAA games for me. Only BotW has topped it. But yes, good list. I think we have similar tastes.

my faves in order mario odesy botw smash mario kart dead cells xenoblade warframe dk sonic mania night in the woods

my list for my fave nintendo system: 1. Breath of the Wild 2. Super Smash Bros Ultimate 3. Super Mario Odyssey 4. Mariokart 8 Deluxe 5. Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze 6. Mario Tennis Aces 7. Wargroove

It took me 11 MONTHS to 100% complete BOTW including finding all 900 Korok Seeds and the DLC. I consider that probably my GREATEST video game accomplishment of my 30+ years of gaming, all the way back to the original Zelda on the NES. I can easily say, BOTW is the greatest video game of ALL-TIME. It is worth paying $360 for just a Switch and Zelda even if you never buy any other games. If you divide the amount of play time I got by the cost, it has to be the best entertainment value of any other game I’ve ever played. And for that reason alone, it is #1. I can’t wait to play it again on Master Mode, but I’ll probably do it later this year so hopefully I will have forgotten a lot of the secrets. 😉

august strain that depends. Do you prefer turn based RPG games or action RPG? Xenoblade is like watching a 10 hour movie with 50 hours of game play. Some don’t care for the battle system because it has auto attack, but I loved being able to focus on the specials (Artes). It’s truly incredible if you want exploration and amazing story. Ys is 100% action and as I said on an earlier comment, not the most fun for the first 10 hours but the last 20 has one of the best stories I’ve experienced which makes it totally worth it. Octopath is a random encounter grindy game that looks gorgeous and keeps you hooked by making you want to see what happens next to the 8 hero’s. It’s fun to build your party and work toward the next story beat and boss battle. For me, it would be Xenoblade, then Ys then Octopath, but all are fantastic.

The first game that hooked me completely was fire emblem three houses Currently im playing through dragon quest 11 Smash bros ultimate was also pretty fun Zelda breath of the wild is next on my list Ni no Kuni, octopath traveler, xenoblade chronicles 2 are all on my back log to play.
