Cartoon Network Battle Crashers. This game is possibly the worst game I've ever played on any platform. It is abysmal.

The only one disappointing experience was Bloodstained Ritual of the Night on the Switch. I had 11 crashes until I reached 100% completion. It was the base version on the cartridge. I refused to update just to see how lazy they were and if it is possible to finish the game in that state.

Even then the games was not bad just mediocre.

I always buy games that I research before buying. I will never buy a game blindly.

At least CNBC is a competent (if boring) beat'em up. I'd argue Coffee Crisis is worse. A beat'em up where basic attacks don't have hit-stun. Just an awful design oversight. Even Kung Fu on NES had hit-stun for crying out loud.

Anywho, Vroom in the Night Sky holds a 17/100 on Metacritic...for good reason.

Screen

Supermash: Prone to crashing and getting Softlocked

Hunting Simulator: Incredibly slow and bland gameplay

Asdivine Hearts: Everything was offset by a half tile and it triggered my OCD

Hello Neighbor: Hide and Seek: Virtually unplayable.

But the absolute worst game is Murder by Numbers, as it is an uninspired picross game, with a grating story.

The ones that come to mind are Coffee Crisis, the world ends with you, fire emblem warriors and AI the somnium files.

Immortals Fenyx Rising.

This was a game that I was really looking forward to and after watching some reviews decided to pick it up on the switch to play in bed.
What a mistake, the games is ridiculously blurry and gave me worse motion sickness than playing Skyrim in VR. I was only able to get through the first few hours before chucking it in a drawer until the shops reopen and I can go trade it in.

BOTW.
I didn't even touched the game for 4 years, have no desire to continue.

@Anti-Matter hey now, I'm sure it's not the worst game you've played on the switch 😉.

For me I'd say fox n forests, ghoulboy, and bastion were pretty terrible. Bouncy Bob was silly too. Not even worth the penny I got it for.

That's a hard one I will come back once I find out or remember.

What was that one Pokemon mobile game with like the blocky Pokemon they put on Switch? Ok, Google says it was Pokemon Quest.

That was an ok use of two or three 20 minute gaming sessions. Otherwise, not much of value. Honestly this is what I just assume most mobile games are like. Half-baked, only partially controlled...things that I don't understand why even the most casual of casual people would bother with. Actually I take that back, its just weird. Honestly it both has too much and not enough to it, I don't know who it is for. It's not enough of a "real" video game but is also too much to be entirely mindless in a good(?) way.

This isn't the worst game that was made on the console, but I really dislike Kirby Star Allies. The first game I actually felt ripped off for buying it.

My pick would go to Worlds of Magic: Planar Conquest. It isn't the worst game ever, and I probably don't have much room to complain since I received it from the forums here as a free promo code from the publisher. I found the gameplay complicated, dull after awhile, the tutorials were inadequate, and there are definitely better control implementations out there. I'm also not a huge graphics nut or anything, but it looks and plays like a mid-tier mobile game. It's "a 4X strategy game inspired by Master of Magic" according to the game page on Nintendo's website. It's on other platforms as well, and its Steam page indicates a "mixed" reception.

Just stick with Civilization VI or Fire Emblem: Three Houses for your Switch strategy fix.

Probably the Golf. I was hoping it'd be an okay budget approximation of Wii Sports style golf, but I didn't get on with it at all. Luckily we have a new Mario Golf on the way.

@NintendoByNature If we say Beatmania is the worst game on PS2/3 he’d kick up a fuss.

Nickelodeon Kart Racers. The controls were so bad I almost cried and went back to mario kart 8 deluxe.

Power Rangers: Battle for the Grid is a fighting game I felt I would be really into due to fan service, but the lack of content coupled with average gameplay ultimately cost my interest in the game. I ended up paying double the original base game price to try and alleviate the content issue by getting a season pass, and yeah, really overpriced. Plenty of fan service in its season passes though. I guess the right words for the game's post release would be DLC scheme. I don't think calling it DLC content gets the issue across.

SNK Heroines: Tag Team Frenzy was another fighting game with plenty of fan service that felt lackluster to me, but I didn't have too much expectation for it like I did Battle for the Grid. I'm also still somewhat interested in giving it another go and see if the gameplay ends up clicking for me the next time around.

The Worst Game ever?
the only game that i dislike was Flip Wars.
i haven't pick up any other game that's consider bad. sure, Animal Crossing: New Horizons is missing a lot of features that the other games has, i wouldn't say that game was bad either.
i so far have picked up games that's been received pretty well (Snipperclips) or games that i've played before in the past that i quite enjoy years ago and know that i'll like (Super Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Super Smash Bros Ultimate etc.)

Hover. So disappointing when some were hyping it up to be like JSR. Well the music was the same but the gameplay and controls were a mess.
