Top 100 best Nintendo Switch games

Home console and handheld at once, the Switch redefined how we play: Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros. Ultimate, Animal Crossing. This Top 100 gathers the best of its huge catalogue, re-tested and re-ranked by RomWize, each title with its re-evaluated score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.

"A brilliant puzzler whose rules are literally written into the level: push the words around to rewrite what is possible. Every breakthrough feels like a tiny revelation, and the difficulty climbs without ever losing its minimalist elegance."

"This hefty expansion to Monster Hunter Rise adds vicious new monsters, the Follower system and a generous endgame. The pacing stays fluid and accessible on Switch, while the weapon depth keeps the loop as rewarding as ever."

"A superb medieval whodunit drawn like an illuminated manuscript and carried by choices that genuinely matter. More a game of reading and reflection than action, it captivates through its scholarship and sixteenth-century monastic atmosphere."

"PlatinumGames delivers a frenetic action game where you steer a cop and a chained creature at once. Juggling both units is demanding yet exhilarating once it clicks, and the cyberpunk style still looks sharp on Switch."

"A gorgeous island filled with line-tracing panels whose rules are never explained, only deduced through observation. It is a lesson in pure game design, contemplative and fiercely clever, rewarding patience above all."

"Less a game than an interactive play, with rare writing and staging. Approach it for the mood and the text, not for challenge or pace, but the impression it leaves is lasting."

"This remake breathes new life into a cult JRPG with a charming 2D-HD style. Combat stays snappy, the Private Actions remain endearing, and the new additions modernize without betraying. A great entry point and a nostalgic treat in equal measure."

"A cartoon energy bomb in the vein of Wario Land on amphetamines: run, smash, transform the scenery, all at a breakneck pace. The animation bursts everywhere and the scoring pushes you to chain levels without ever easing off."

"A sublime return to roots, handcrafted pixel by pixel by fans turned developers. Blazing speed, ingenious level design and a catchy soundtrack revive the Mega Drive magic, while the multiplayer mode extends the fun."

"The mind behind Limbo and Inside returns with a puzzler where you leap inside worlds held within orbs. This nested-worlds idea spawns dizzying puzzles, wrapped in an organic, strange atmosphere that is masterfully controlled."

"A remastered double bill: Sonic Generations alongside a brand-new adventure centered on Shadow. The levels blending 2D and 3D race along at full tilt, and the Shadow segment adds fresh powers that energize an already solid formula."

"The trilogy that started it all: three courtroom mysteries carried by irresistible humor and memorable twists. Shouting "Objection!" to dismantle a testimony remains a pure joy, and the localization lovingly preserves every pun."

"A classic of the punishing platformer, demanding pixel-perfect precision. Death is instant but the respawn is immediate, fueling an addictive loop of trial and triumph. Frustrating and thrilling in equal measure, tailor-made for the truly stubborn."

"Born from a minimalist formula, this roguelite has you dodging swarms of enemies while your weapons fire on their own. The power escalation is wildly satisfying, and the projectile-choked screen quickly turns hypnotic."

"The global sandbox phenomenon holds up perfectly on Switch, solo or with others. Building, mining and exploring infinite worlds stays as free and soothing as ever, and regular updates keep enriching the experience."

"A simple idea pushed to dizzying heights: moving by shooting turns every room into an explosive ballet. Short and spicy, it thrives on replaying stages to beat your own clock."

"The spiritual successor to Undertale keeps every promise: sharp writing, masterful music and livelier battles. The episodic format frustrates with the wait between chapters, yet each drop is a small event."

"One giant puzzle box where clues hide everywhere, in the space and in your notebook. The nonlinear structure rewards memory and deduction, all wrapped in a fascinating retro aesthetic. Demanding and at times cryptic, but tremendously satisfying to crack."

"The best entry in the series: a haunted hotel explored floor by floor, packed with gadgets for Luigi and inventive bosses. The humor, visual richness and co-op ScareScraper mode make for an irresistible ghost hunt."

"Ubisoft delivers a remarkably generous metroidvania. The time powers unlock clever level design, combat flows fast and sharp, and difficulty scales finely. An unexpected but accomplished return for a saga many thought was long asleep."
