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 devastating visual novel that transcends its genre. The story unfurls across centuries with a rare command of revelation. The soundtrack is gorgeous and every twist lands hard. Long and dense, but one of the most affecting tales you can read on the system."
"An unabashed homage to handheld Zelda, clever in its yoyo puzzles and charming in its city. It lacks a little scope to leave a lasting mark, but the execution is polished and endearing."
"The port is a technical miracle: this hyperfast shooter runs at 60 frames on Switch without betraying its choreography of violence. Visually trimmed, but the combat stays that lethal dance of chainsaw, flamethrower and glory kills."
"A masterful 2D return for Samus: dread-soaked exploration, ultra-fluid mobility and the E.M.M.I. introduce genuine stalking tension. Bosses demand reflexes and reading, and the slow mastery delivers a satisfaction rare in the genre."
"Hard to discuss without spoiling: what starts as a horror deckbuilder keeps metamorphosing. The meta writing and disarming staging make it a one-of-a-kind experience, even if the second half splits opinion."
"The culmination of the saga. The class and Interlink systems offer enormous tactical depth, and the story about mortality lands more truly than ever. The vast world demands its own pace, but the narrative ambition is remarkable."
"For the first time Zelda is the hero, and her power to copy objects and foes as echoes reinvents puzzle solving. Bursting with ideas and freedom, this top-down Zelda stays playful and inventive right to the end."
"The sumi-e art direction is still dazzling, years on. Wielding the Celestial Brush to solve puzzles and fights keeps its singular charm. The adventure runs long and chatty at times, but its beauty and gentle spirit more than make up for the pacing."
"Arc System Works delivers a sumptuous 2D fighter whose stylized 3D mimics hand-drawn art flawlessly. The system is more approachable than past entries without sacrificing depth, and the rollback netcode is exemplary, even on Switch."
"The wirebug redefines hunting mobility: climbing, vaulting and mounting beasts becomes instinctive. More accessible than its forebears without losing combat depth, and the Switch presentation stays impressive for the hardware."
"The action keeps its signature extravagance: sumptuous combos, Demon Slave summoning giant monsters and gleefully deranged staging. The pacing sometimes scatters and the story loses the plot, but the raw thrill of combat stays at the top of the genre."
"The most accessible entry in the series without renouncing its strategic nature: commanding your Pikmin stays a rewarding puzzle, and the companion Oatchi smooths the logistics. The new night mode and caves bring genuine variety."
"Arc System Works translates the Dragon Ball universe into a spectacular 2D fighter with animation stunningly faithful to the anime. The three-on-three team battles are fast and readable, welcoming to newcomers yet rewarding mastery."
"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."
