It might not feel like Nintendo itself has been particularly busy this year, but goodness, there's still been an awful lot of new games in 2024. Some great ones, even!
Since we're now fast approaching the end of the year, it seems only right that the lovely chaps on our video team share their personal top five games of 2024. Now, it's important to note that these might not all be titles that released in 2024; they're just ones that the guys happened to have played over the last 12 months.
So, we're starting off with the lovely Felix. His list is made up of stupendous RPGs, excellent party games, and delightful indies. But which ones specifically? Well, you'll have to watch and find out. And don't go listing them all out in a comment either; it spoils the fun.
Be sure to check back tomorrow where we'll be highlighting the same list from the wonderful Zion.
What are your top five games of the year? Let us know with a comment down below.

Someone who watched the video please post the list so we don’t have to watch the video.

For me, TTYD is the best Switch game this year (and my personal favorite Switch game of all time). I hope the next Paper Mario is even half as good!

@Zach777 this is all I'm saying.....
I get that you want people to watch the video, but for those who don't have the time it would be nice to have the top 5 in the article... so here it is between spoiler tags (based on the footage, unfortunately can't fully watch the video myself at the moment) - by the way, great list Felix!
5. Pentiment
4. Ghost Trick: Phantom Detective
3. Super Mario Party Jamboree
2. Return of the Obra Dinn
1. Paper Mario: The Thousand-Year Door
@Deviant-Dork No, we think they are great. Maybe you should consider getting your Nintendo news elsewhere.
If you like Return of the Obra Dinn, absolutely play Lorelei and the Laser Eyes. It’s spectacular and in the same vein.
Felix’s hot and his top 5 is too.
Solid list!
I really need to work on my backlog and get to these!
@Johnnymind I had just posted the list and looked back to realize you’d posted with the spoiler black out, bravo and thanks for being the hero we need!
@Deviant-Dork Couldn't you have kept your opinion to yourself? Felix is a real person, with real feelings, and there's no point to anything you said.
@SlowPokemon That game hadn't really grabbed my attent from what little I'd seen of it, but after seeing it compared to Obra Dinn and reading a bit about it it looks pretty fantastic, guess that'll be my next purchase.

@Deviant-Dork Actually... I didn't like the fact that you apparently commented on how he looks. Because that has no relevance to anything.
Ollie's subtitle puns are always on point.
Only list that matters
I probably need to see some top 5 switch lists because I didn’t keep up with much this year. Outside of a couple previous years’ releases, I switched less than ever thus year.

Not sure I can find 5 games this year I played. It's been a pretty slow year (sorry Paper Mario! Maybe one day I'll get into it)
My top picks for this year were
4. Mario Party Jamboree
3. Echoes of Wisdom
2. Sonic x Shadow Generations
1. Shiren The Wanderer: The Mystery Dungeon of Serpentcoil Island
#1 spot alone I spent 90 hours on this year since August when I grabbed a copy.
@ChubbyKong It’s different when you insult someone for their looks, taste, etc.
And looks like Felix has great taste I’ve heard good things about Pentiment so I should probably play it.
I clicked for the Felix navidad subtitle and stayed for the video! Thanks guys.
I miss those times when we had Alex Olney, Jon Cartwright and Kate Gray in one video.
Thanks for reminding me to play Return of the Obra Dinn!
My top 5 based on what I've played:
POP The Lost Crown
Unicorn Overlord
TLoZ Echoes of Wisdom
Paper Mario TTYD
Animal Well
And don’t sleep on Yars Rising!
@WaveBoy @PluckyRicky Animal Well is a masterpiece. As is Return of the Obra Dinn. Two games that really stick with you. Both highly recommend.
I loved Pentiment. It’s a unique narrative adventure based in the late-medieval period. The art is gorgeous. Definitely check it out.
Loved every second of TTYD! Definitely my favorite Switch game this year, followed by Echoes of Wisdom. Gonna spend my Holidays playing as much as I can to enlarge that list!
5) war groove
4) the lost crown
3) Factorio
2) Skyrim
1) Nine Sols
You forgot the list.
I like Felix a lot. I can’t wait to see this list. Actually I like all the guys who do the videos.
Also it’s excellent they can choose the games they are actually playing and are not limited to only choosing games that released this year.
All games I’ve never tried!
For the games I played this year:
1. Unicorn Overlord (incredible; ready for a harder replay)
2. Tears of the Kingdom (mostly played last year but didn’t finish until early 2024… and I still have like 19 sidequests and 80 koroks)
3. Echoes of Wisdom (fun but forgettable)
4. Sonic Superstars (fun but flawed, and the ending levels were frustrating)
5. Untitled Goose Game (awesome but too small)
@Dm9982 Don't know why it didn't notify me of your reply but anyway, thank you, glad to be of help!
@JohnnyMind Thank you for posting that. You think it would be common sense 🤔.
@JohnnyMind Heya. Great idea to put the games in the video behind a Spoiler window. 😎
Very handy. Thank you.
@Ooyah hahahaha good one!
I wish
