I keep wanting to check things like this out, and then I remember there's not even any Switch games I want to play. I tried the open world Pokémon game when that came out years ago, purely just to see what they did (it was boring as fuck, as pretty much everyone agree). The only other thing is maybe TotK, but there's better things (in my opinion) that I still need to play. Shadow of the Erdtree, for example, is something I still need to get around to.

If anyone actually does think there are Switch games worth playing, in your opinion, what are they? I'm curious. I have to admit I avoid most advertising and don't follow Nintendo stuff, so there could be things I'm not aware of.

Here's my whole library if you want to see everything I like. Some notable exclusives:

  • Super Mario Odyssey - IMO, this is right up there with 64. The game is absolutely packed, biggest in the series, and I love everything they've done with new movement techniques.
  • Splatoon 3 - And 2, but not like there's any reason to back to S2 now. I've never really been into shooters much, Splatoon, Kid Icarus Uprising, and TF2 are the only ones I've really liked. But I do love this game because it's so unlike ordinary shooters.
  • Metroid Dread - Hits all the same highs as Super, but with significantly better combat and bosses. Yes, I'm saying that makes it better than Super.
  • Puyo Puyo Champions - Not actually exclusive, but if you want to play this game online, JP players are all on Switch. So functionally, it might as well be exclusive.
  • Kirby Air Riders - I waited 22 years for this sequel. I bought a Switch 2 just to play this. And it was worth it. I'm actually blown away by how much higher this game raised the bar from the original.

No idea, but I'm assuming probably not.
