How to pick your 9 Switch games
The Switch came out in 2017 and runs as a home console or a handheld. Its library mixes Nintendo’s biggest releases with indie games that found a second audience on it. Four shelves to start from:
Nintendo’s big ones
Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, Smash Ultimate and Animal Crossing: New Horizons, which came out in March 2020 when many people were stuck at home.
Indies in your pocket
Hollow Knight, Hades, Celeste, Stardew Valley, Undertale, Cuphead and Ori and the Will of the Wisps. Most came out elsewhere first, and plenty of players finished them on Switch.
Long RPGs
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and 3, Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Octopath Traveler, Persona 5 Royal, Shin Megami Tensei V, Dragon Quest XI S and Triangle Strategy.
Played with the family
Splatoon 2 and 3, Super Mario Party, Ring Fit Adventure, Pikmin 4 and Kirby and the Forgotten Land.
With so many ports on the Switch, your grid is about where you played a game. If you finished Hades on Switch, it can go here.
Frequently asked questions
Do Switch 2 games count?
Switch only covers games released for the original Switch, which the Switch 2 also plays. For Switch 2 exclusives such as Mario Kart World or Donkey Kong Bananza, switch the search to All platforms.
Hades and Hollow Knight came out on PC first. Do they belong here?
If you played them on Switch, yes. Many games in this list reached other platforms first; what matters is where you played them.
How do I add a Switch game that is not in the list?
Type it into the search. With Switch only, results are limited to games that came out on Switch, so a search like Final Fantasy shows the entries you could play on it.
Why is my Switch grid different from my homepage grid?
Each console page keeps its own draft in this browser, so a Switch-only nine does not overwrite your all-time nine.
