@SoManyHaveDied Agreed re: some characters. Chronos FTW.

@San_D Me too on Hollow Knight. My last attempt at a metroidvania and unfortunately I found it dull. Glad I'm not the only one!
@SoManyHaveDied I tried the Invisigun demo on a whim and absolutely loved it. Good example of demos working to get you to try games you'd otherwise not go for. Bought the full version (and joined the Discord) - it's so underrated, and full of content.

Dammit now I have to buy this.

@Spanish_Bread Wow that's a cut and paste job right there. And no credit or link back.

I booted up my old Wii U recently. I say "booted up", actually more like "TRIED" to boot up. Man what a terrible console. Pro controller was out of charge, and it uses a different USB type to the massive, clunky tablet controller. HUGE delays when switching between menus. Hooking up the bloody sensor bar to go with the Wii Mote, the Nunchuck add on...all so clunky after using the Switch. I mean, I loved the console when it came out but in hindsight...what a misfire.

Another shout for Into The Breach, in my top 5 games of all time now I reckon. I've 100%-ed it recently but still go back to it. Had less luck with Enter The Gungeon which I absolutely SUCK at but I'm really tempted by Moonlighter especially as it's in a sale.

I'd love a new Monkey Ball. Even a collection of all of the mini games. Imagine a beefed up Monkey Target.

@hadrian This was on Wii U? Perhaps you mean NFS Most Wanted, which was pretty similar. As for Burnout Paradise, wish this wasn't open world. I agree with @eRaz0r - Burnout 2 was the best one I've played. Self-contained racing and a proper Crash mode. Open world leads to too much aimless driving around, which is fun for a while but I want the focus and accessibility of selectable tracks.

@BenAV I think if I hadn't played a tonne of Wii Sports bowling I'd have fared a lot better. My brain expects to grip and (crucially) let go of the trigger button when I pick it up/release the ball.

Played a tonne of this yesterday. Hit and Blow was a really pleasant surprise, and Toy Curling is very addictive. Couldn't get to grips with bowling - controls are different to the Wii Sports equivalent which threw me off. Loads I haven't tried yet. The whole package is terrific value.

@Chimera_Police Totally agree, I really enjoyed it. Is Sports Story a thing?

EDIT: just Googled it. How have I not heard of that before? Looks brilliant.

I also would like to purchase this particular game

@Benji80 I always have a go at the challenges but I don't tend to rank highly - I tend to be a couple of seconds off the top spot. Huge fan of the game though, and wondering what that final DLC spot is under the main campaign menu.

@Benji80 Just seen you pop up on the Brasilia Playground challenge!

YOU CAN ALREADY BUY ALL OF THESE GAMES

Has anyone seen the Kairosoft games on eshop? There are over 20 of them, like World Cruise Story, all look identical.

@rockodoodle Just tried the demo, actually very deep. As you say, for that price you can't really go wrong!

Yup agree, just got Streets of Rage 4 and it's fantastic. Smashing my way through story mode and the soundtrack is a highlight.

@FullMetalJumper Paradise looks near-identical to a game I had on Wii U, Need For Speed Most Wanted. While I enjoyed that game the open world format makes it a bit aimless - I just want to jump into a race. Mario Kart aside my favourite racer on Switch has been Horizon Chase Turbo. Super Pixel Racers has definitely piqued my interest though. I love how many different modes it has. Would love a demo.

"Please advise what these are"

@FullMetalJumper he literally mentioned that in the review. Mantis Burn and Gotcha Racing was the other one. I've got Mantis Burn but I found it a bit dull. I'm going to save my moolah for Burnout Paradise, even though I'd rather not pay big cash for a friggin open world racer. What can I say, I'm a sucker for Burnout.

Comment number 155 so no one will read. But i have to say it - this is a free update, with loads of cool new features and a FRIKKIN world maker. Yet all I see is "no amiibo support", "no new level themes", "it's not proper SMB2" whining. Jesus H Christ when will you people be happy.

Completed this 100% recently. One of the top 5 games I've EVER PLAYED.

Fitness Boxing is currently going for ~£80 on Amazon. Same thing!

Oh HECK YES. Huge fan of the Burnout series and there isn't enough of this kind of thing on Switch.

Kombat Klassics Kollection! Or KK...wait.

Need a way to skip the knight boss (King MacFright) as I tried a couple of times and gave up in frustration.

At first I thought it was called "BlackHEAD Under The Skin" and was expecting a pore unblocking simulator.

I was gonna say the Switch needs more metroidvanias.

Just downloaded this, more stuff is definitely just what the doctor ordered. Looking forward to the next batch of DLC. How about some more countries?

Oh I wonder what #1 is? For the BILLIONTH TIME.

@StevenG you wish

Jesus Christ it's free. No-one has to pay for the extras and there are no ads. I never bother with mobile games but I'll also never understand why people complain about stuff they get for free.

Had to go cold turkey on this series long ago, it devours far too much time. Still, I miss the simple old data of CM2 and 99/00 with text only games and searching for "interested foreign based" players and destroying the Scottish league with my dominant Rangers team.

@sikthvash YES both of those were brilliant, deserving of a full game, really underrated. Especially Tanks, I'd have loved more stages.

The name Wilmot is criminally underused in video games.

For some reason I expected to see bloody Ocarina of Time at #1, before realising it wasn't released on DS. Something new then! And actually no Zelda on there. Which is good because my only memory of DS Zelda was repeating that damned dungeon over and over again. And Star Fox Command was one of the angriest, most immediate marches to trade in a game that I can remember. Utter rubbish. Anyway, great list, and some good memories on here. For me Meteos was an underrated gem (forgive the pun).

@geox30 The remastered Virtua Racing's out this week, I'm going for that.

I'm 38 and I want this, is that bad?

Should read "YET another Metroidvania". Yawn.

Chainsaw sound means leatherface surely?

@gamekill Yeah thought I was. What have I become? Totally agree, games, like movies, don't cause bad behavior. Still think it looks too real for me to enjoy the theme though.

What a horrible idea for a game. Stealing from regular houses and people seems a bit too "real", like it'll give yobbos in real life some creative ideas. Maybe I'm just getting old.

Very exciting. One of my favourite games on Switch. They've done some interviews recently on Facebook with Barry Leitch who did the awesome soundtrack.

Makes me wish for VR Warioware. Make it happen Nintendo!

I'm waiting for Mortal Kombat 12.

No Into the Breach. No Wargroove. No Horizon Chase Turbo. Three of the best games I've played full stop, let alone on Switch. Still, just a bit of fun, and otherwise a good list!

Heck yes. Brings me back to the days of NHLPA '93 on SNES with greats like Ed Belfour and Kirk "The Yoghurt" Muller.

At last my favorite game given the prevalence it deserves. Totally agree with the article. Love Death Race, the Giant Hand track, the X Cup, the music. What a game.

Honestly what's the point? Nonsense like this is why I rarely bother playing games online.

Got Horizon Chase over the festive period to play with my wife and we absolutely love it, smashing out all those gold trophies. Was a huge fan of Top Gear and Outrun. Definitely room for both on Switch - how about a port of Top Gear next?
