I blame Nintendo. Smash might be the best selling fighting game series of all time, but Nintendo revel in opposing the FGC at every opportunity. It's par for the course; Nintendo use their legal ninjas to merc anyone who treads on their IP without their stranglehold-control-and-consent. Because of that, Smash doesn't carry the same reverence as the usual suspects. Street Fighter, Mortal Kombat, Tekken, etc.

@Magician I don't know about that. I don't think most people play smash for the competitive side. I think most people just play it for the multiplayer party game aspect.
@Bigmanfan By the same token, most people who play Smash casually aren't posting on these forums to voice their support of the game. If they were, FawfulsFury would see the support they desire.

@Magician That is (unfortunately) true. I also believe there isn't a lot of support for smash because the dlc finished releasing. I'd imagine back in 2020/2021, more people would have smash on their lists.
Speaking of dropping support, I would have considered putting Mario 35 in my list if it still existed; that game was so silly but I loved it. At least you can still fully play Mario Maker 2 or Smash even if they stopped expanding them.
Possibly not top 10, but definitely top 20; I put more hours into that game than I did BotW.
@FawfulsFury we should have an underrated games thread. I think the same about Alien Isolation. I'd pay money for Mario 35 too!
@FishyS If Mario 35 was still playable it would probably be my most played game on the platform, I still don't understand why they made it a limit time release, it was epic!!
@FishyS Link's Awakening is my favourite Zelda game on the Switch too. (Though we'll see whether that opinion changes this week, when TotK comes out.) I love BotW as well, and IMO going for an open world/sandbox game was a great choice for the direction of the series, but it still feels like it has a bit too much gorgeous but ultimately "empty" content for me too give it a perfect 10/10. Whereas LA, with its much smaller scope and game world, allows for every landscape, every character, every nook and granny to be exquisitely designed and have so much loving detail put into it.

@Bigmanfan Lego City Undercover is a good game, but the longish load times hold it back from being the best GTA game on Switch. I feel Saints Row III holds that title.

I haven't even finished Metroid Prime Remastered and it's already in my top 10!!
Streamworld Dig 2 and Alien Isolation are underrated games in my opinion, I think they are recognised as good games, but I think if they had been released by Nintendo they would be even more highly regarded within the Nintendo community.
A few changes to mine since earlier in the year:-
10. Luigi's Mansion
9. Super Mario 3D All Stars
8. Metroid Dread
7. Nier: Automata
6. Metroid Prime Remastered
5. Steamworld Dig 2
4. Mario Odyssey
3. Alien Isolation
2. Zelda Breath of the Wild
1. Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Mario Kart has dropped out of my top 10 and I have moved some around - Tears of the Kingdom had to go into 1st, I love it.
