I don't really get why some people say this was a weak year first party wise, it wasn't amazing and I think 2017 and 2019 were better, but this year was solid I think, despite BDSP and Mario Golf at least at launch being dissapointing, we got a new 2D Metroid and was awesome, the first Mario Party that everyone seems to like in over a decade, the first traditional and original WarioWare in a decade and it was solid, a sequel to Pokémon Snap which was great, the Famicom Detective Club Remake which was pretty good too or Boswer's Fury if you count it which was awesome, and there is also Cruis'n Blast which while not 100% first party was really fun too. Game Builder Garage and BBA also were interesting stuff, even if they were sort of unremarkable.
I get some people on internet forums are mostly into the single player adventure stuff (which are all coming next year) and don't care about much else, but I think a lot of games like these are what made Nintendo's first party line up more interesting.

This is really depressing..... that disaster that is Battlefield 2042 is second if you take both versions, undeserved.

I don't get why BW and BW2 are below something like Crystal which is almost the same thing as Gold and Silver

I saw a quick review of that Marsupilami game on the Youtube channel N64 Glenn Plant and it looks really cool, like surprisingly for what it is.

The Platinum to Black and White 2 era are my favorites, really complete games with great presentation and flow
XY is at the bottom for me, there is not a lot to do in that game and has a lot of issues from difficulty to wasted potential, and since it was following the DS games and was really praised by critics I was incredibly dissapointed at the time, and I kind of hate it for that reason. Have not played any of the games after Sun and Moon though.

I'll continue with Great Ace Attorney Resolve, which has been very dense so far, I played a lot during the week and I'm only in the fourth case, the second and third one almost felt like final cases from other games.

@fenlix well, remember that MK8DX is including the extra DLC and also the new battle mode, so it's the most ambitious and complete entry but after 3 years of the original release, before it could be considered the most incomplete in some ways

I started playing the second title in the The Great Ace Attorney duology, so I'd be playing that one. I guess I'll also keep playing Killzone 2 on PS3, which I've been very slowly on because I shortly after realized is not my kind of game and I only really enjoy it in short burts.

@dojmin I see enough quality in Dread to be worth way more than just 30.

What? I didn't know about this game, it looks awesome!

1- I didn't buy a Switch to play Cloud *****
2- My third world internet sucks

Cruis'n Blast and Warioware Get ir Together!

@BlueOcean Nope, Cruis'n seems to be the single ip created by Midway or Atari games that wasn't owned by them and isn't owned by WB now, but by Nintendo, because it seems they funded the original game, it can be seen in the copyright of all the entries, and that's the reason why the Nintendo logo appears in all the Arcade machines or why they never had a port to the PS1, PC or Dreamcast like the other Midway games of the time.

@BlueOcean Not very likely since Nintendo owns the IP, something special should happen to see that.
About the rest, it would be cool but sadly it seems WB doesn't care at all about their Midway IP's not called Mortal Kombat or Rampage.

I'm very happy Nintendo isn't publishing it despite being their own series, because it probably will have discounts!

@Yorumi I think you are being a little bit overdramatic about Nintendo. Do they have issues with the Switch? yeah, definitely, but I'd say most of them come from the executives more than the games, in that camp I think they have been doing fine. Have some games been dissapointing? yeah, but not that many at all, a handful I'd say, a big improovement from the 3DS and Wii U era were Nintendo released way too many poor or super controversial games (I think I can count 30), and also you gave the example of Animal Crossing letting down some people for the lack of content as an example of Nintendo not caring, but I can give you the case of Fire Emblem, Mario Party, Luigi's Mansion, Mario Tennis or Paper Mario overall doing a better job for most people in comparison to their previous entries, or even if you didn't like Odysset they made a very ambitious game and heard what people wanted after 3D World initial reception, or you have Nintendo also doing some super unsafe projects like Ring Fit, Astral Chain, Sushi Strikers, Game Builder Garage, New Pokémon Snap, the remake of Famicom Detective Club or Buddy Mission. Some issues here and there aside, I think in the game development side on Switch has been solid, only really lacking in number so far since the full HD development + doing some more ambitious stuff makes impossible to develop games as fast as on the 3DS, and also the death of Alpha Deam and Retro Studios's failed project

@Potato_Pounder they said it's lacking multiplayer not because the Switch online is bad but because it's hard to implement because how the game code works, its really cpu heavy.

On one hand it is a shame it doesnt have the multiplayer yet considering it's asking the same price as the PC and One versions, on the other hand I have always heard Turok 2 mp was pretty mediocre so I don't know if the discount should be that big.

I imagine if they patch it they would re do the review like: now has multiplayer, it's very mediocre, we dont recommend it, but now it's an 8/10.

3 Houses, Turok 2 and Doom 3

@sandman89 and 15 fps.

@Noid ?????

@EmmatheBest wasnt the Saturn version the worst port? Digital Foundry said it ruined the gameplay and the framerate.

Pretty surprised DOAX3S sold almost twice on PS4 than Switch considering the extra censorship. Maybe because the age demographic of players in Japan? IDK.

Smash, Hyrule Warriors, Diablo, Grim Fandango Remastered and Dust on the Switch, really still have too much to play after christmas.

@michellelynn0976 remember this is not the real Harvest Moon series though.

@Medic_alert I disagree, the gamecube third party support was not amazing imo, It has the games you listed and that's nice, but aside from those, many companies that were doing great games at the time on both PS2 and Xbox barely did anything on the cube like SNK, Eidos, Koei, Codemasters, Tecmo and especially Roackstar, also Konami aside from Twin Snakes barely did anything on the console, in fact that was the only M rated game they released on it and some companies that made gamecubes games at the beggining later just stop doing that like Midway, Acclaim, 2K Sports and Lucasarts. In my opinion the only big complanies that did support the GC a lot were Capcom, EA, Activision and Ubisoft, and still I would say they did support the other 2 consoles more, missing games like Burnout 3 and Revenge.

Also, PS2 had like a huge monopoly with japanese companies like Atlus, Nis, Square Enix (and more exclusives from Konami, SNK or Capcom than the other 2) and the Xbox had some exclusive PC ports of games like Kotor, Morrowind, Riddick Chronicles, Doom 3 or Half Life 2, while the Gamecube didn't have anything exclusive to go agains that.

I remember that my little cousin was watching some random garbage on YouTube about this game.

Valiant Hearts on Swwitch, Uncharted 2 on PS3 and Final Fantasy VI on Snes mini.

"Crush Insects" I'm pretty sure Hideki Kamiya would love that one.

I just bought Valiant Hearts on the Switch at half the price and the game was released 3 weeks ago. Not sure if thats ok.

God of War II on PS3 and Valkyria Chronicles IV DLC on Switch.

A Wii U game called "Last Soldier" how appropriate.

@derickw69 Crash came a year later than the PS4 version only, and at the same time as the PC and Xbox One. Crash definitely had an exclusivity deal, Spyro doesnt, though it's not coming to PC, which is weird.

@Captain_EO I have enjoyed it quite a bit, it's pretty similar to the first one for the most part though you are not in an interconected place aymore and the full action segments are gone, now it's more linear and centered in action/survival.

Resident Evil Revelations 2 on Switch.

That would be great, but I hope they can release the game at 60fps unlike SNK Heroines, 30fps fighting games are not cool, especially considering how mediocre the graphics on these new SNK fighting games are.

Luigi's Mansion Dark Moon (2).

Mainly Ace Attorney Spirit of Justice DLC.

Still playing Valkyria Chronicles 4.

I loved the first one on 3DS, but I have heard this one is not that good, even fans of the series didnt like it that much.

Valkyria Chronicles 4 and Bastion.

I hope it has the gunplay and action of 2 but with a story and level design more in line with The New Order, and an actual final boss.

I almost finish Earthbound on Snes mini and I will also buy Bastion on the Switch and start it.

WarioWare Gold on 3DS, which I don't know why but barely any store had the game in my country and I just could find it now, and Earthbound on Snes mini.

I Will finish the original God of War on PS3.

Iconoclasts, Mario+Rabbids DK Adventure and Star Fox.

I will try to finish Strider (2014) and I just bought Iconoclast, so I will play that one too.

Dragon Quest VIII on 3DS and Strider (2014) on PS3.

I would buy Banner Saga 3, but I still need to play 2-

Banner saga and Dragon Quest VIII.
