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 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."
"The eight-hero formula returns refined: toggling day and night opens fresh paths and interactions, and the stories finally interweave more. The HD-2D remains a peak of beauty, and the job depth satisfies system lovers."
"A spiritual successor to Limbo, this atmospheric game strips everything down to flight, dread and crisp physics puzzles. Its wordless storytelling and unsettling finale make for a short but unforgettable experience."
"A shoot 'em up masterpiece finally accessible, with unmatched scoring depth. Arid and demanding for the newcomer, it rewards mastery with rare satisfaction, and this edition is the best way to discover it."
"A richer, more legible sequel than its predecessor, cut out for optimization lovers. The learning curve stays steep, but the depth of synergies and near-infinite replayability richly reward the investment."
"Vanillaware weaves a wildly ambitious science-fiction story, thirteen protagonists and a fractured timeline that eventually clicks into place brilliantly. The real-time battles are secondary, but the writing and presentation are spellbinding."
"A love letter to the 8-bit Ninja Gaiden games, demanding yet always fair, where every death teaches something. The finely chiseled level design rewards memorization and pixel-perfect precision."
"This platforming roguelike pushes the original's unpredictability even further with liquid physics, mounts and branching biomes. Every death is your own fault, and that is exactly what makes each run so tense and addictive."
"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."
"The formula remains dangerously time-consuming thanks to the variety of jobs and island-building. The story is thin and the tech modest, but the one-more-goal loop is captivating."
"A dazzling rhythm-action game where every hit lands on the beat, from Tango Gameworks. Its flashy cartoon style, offbeat humor and rock soundtrack make this a pure shot of energy from start to finish."
"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."
"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."
