This is one of the few times I’ve owned every single game on this list. That said, I hope there’s a parallel universe where SRPG games are all the rage and Triangle Strategy wins every GOTY award. It certainly deserves it. I’ve dropped the rest to play it and have no regrets.

Hard to call this "dominant" when Nintendo is the only console with an incompetent digital store AND physical media still worth buying (ahem, most of the time anyway). Xbox and PS disc sales have gotta be dropping now that the world has mostly discovered they're just discs with license keys on them and the whole download still has to happen anyway

I'll raise my hand as the sole fan of Recore here. Thanks for Recore. I loved it.

I for one cannot WAIT to re-buy every Nintendo classic for yet another system that lacks backward compatibility!

Too many other great games on Switch now and next week to do KOTOR again. Maybe over the holiday vacation or something.

@The_Pixel_King Same here. Now it's in my all-time top 10, so Diablo II was a day one purchase. Haven't regretted it a bit.

@Emmerichcoal I’m in for all three shining force 3 games. I don’t even care what they cost.

Has anyone NOT played Sonic 2 at this point?

I kind of wish Fortnite would do more of its own thing instead of this constant pandering to whatever the latest pop culture phenom is. It's getting easy to predict what film will have a Fortnite tie-in next week. And hey, skipping the Sopranos movie? What's up with that? I totally would've bought V-Bucks for that.

This is one of my favorite Xbox games of the past couple of years but the switch port remains nearly unplayable in comparison. It’s a shame too as it would be perfect for portable. I look forward to all of these new additions but I’m afraid my switch will probably never see them.

I've been playing for an hour and am absolutely blown away by how good this game is. I'm traditionally only a Metroid Prime fan, having not really loved the 2D stuff but this game is changing my mind VERY quickly.

100% Bad Karaoke Machine vibes.

The only thing I'm NOT looking forward to is transferring my 1TB SD Card over to the OLED Switch. Zzzzzzzzzzz.

As a huge fan of the original entries in the series, this was a preorder, no question. I just got done playing through the first couple of areas and have ZERO regrets. Welcome back to the 90s! Fantastic game.

WarioWare because WarioWare.

Devil's Third, Xeno Chronicles X, and Star Fox Zero - this is all I need to make me happy with my decision to sell my Wii U for twice its retail price last year.

Yes, I really, really like Devil's Third. Sorry not sorry.

Twitter says we’re not supposed to like the Switch version of this game. I forget why. Poor performance or something.

Remember when we would play Goldeneye on N64 and you couldn’t care less when the game would occasionally drop down to 10fps because the game itself was SO good and OCD dreck like Digital Foundry didn’t yet exist? Those were good times. NMH3 is a fantastic game. Play it.

In the US Pacific Northwest you'd never know any of this has been discontinued. They're not only everywhere, they're usually on sale.

Probably close to a tie between Green Hill Zone 1 and SMW World 1-1. I got both pretty close together and continue to play through them every few months to this day.

If this is even half as good as Fata Morgana was I will be playing straight through it day one.

@Darlinfan I really liked Terminator Resistance too. Thought it was a blast and didn't get the hate at all.

Crackdown 3 (XB1) this last generation was my jam. I've 100%'d that game at least a half dozen times. I love it.

Prior to that I'd say Project X Zone and 7th Dragon III Code: VFD on 3DS. Neither got good press but they're my two favorite 3DS games for some reason.

If you want to go back a bit, I was a huge fan of Sonic R on Saturn and way too many Master System games to count.

Bought this based on my the trailer and absolutely think 9/10 is fair. Brilliant game and I’m not a metroidvania or souls fan really

You lost me at "the original Alex Kidd in Miracle World, while inarguably an important and formative classic, is and always has been an exceptionally flawed game"

Alex Kidd love has nothing to do with Master System vs NES or any of that, it really comes down to "Do you love a great game with some challenge?" If yes, it's a classic. This version is nice, but it's not the original. Wii Virtual Console, Xbox 360, etc. players can still play the best version around without wasting $20 on this one.

Miitopia ftw!

Cool. Now if only Nintendo put that $2.1 million toward porting it’s old games to switch so those of us who want to buy them have a chance to

Is this how the industry finally wins awards that normally go to Sony, by having an awards show at the event they don’t participate in? I say this as a very non Sony fanboy btw.

Strange. I waited decades to play this despite owning the original Xbox disc forever. Now that I have the overpriced remaster I’m struggling to figure out why everyone loved it so much.

Miitopia. Only Miitopia. My world is Miitopia.

Except for when I take some time off from Switch and play Mass Effect Legendary Edition on Xbox Series X.

Then right back to Miitopia.

Given the collectability of Nintendo stuff in general, I'm surprised at how many of you sold your Wii U.

Makes me feel better that I sold my Wii U.

Love Fitness Boxing 2. Love Ring Fit Adventure too but Fitness Boxing 2 has really stuck around through covid thick and thin.

The House in Fata Morgana is the best visual novel on Switch to date, and there have been some great ones.

Sold my Wii U and over 90 Wii U games for a small fortune when my income was reduced due to COVID last year. I can't say that I really miss it as I hadn't plugged the thing in for about a year, but I do regret it somewhat. Xeno X and Devil's Third feel like little holes in my backlog now that might never get filled, and I'm not happy about that.

"...Bowser's wares put more than 79 million Switch consoles "at risk" from piracy."

Man, I sure do hope Nintendo's legal team can save me from free games!

If Nintendo could simply read the internet and see how their fans feel, the world would be a better place.

Switch is scarce in the greater Seattle metro area. Very few stores have them and Amazon quotes a week or more to ship one. Switch Lite on the other hand is everywhere.

I really wish they'd have patched MK8 to have these sorts of events.

To everyone suggesting that this will never be a collector's item because there are 8-10 million of them out there, I give you this: https://www.nintendolife.com/news/2021/04/this_sealed_super_mario_bros_has_just_become_the_most_expensive_video_game_collectable_ever

I agree with everything in this review except that I've opted to play it on Xbox Game Pass after having already bought it on my Switch. The in-game text is so small, and the font so awful, that I can't read it in handheld mode. I've yet to figure out why Switch devs don't compensate for handheld play with font resizing.

I didn't get into this series until IV on 3DS but I'm day one buying this on the eshop, no doubt.

I made it about 15-20 hours, somewhere in there. Just not for me. Literally everyone else that I know with a Switch is still playing it though, including no fewer than 3 people in my household.

Cue "disappointment" from entitled kiddies.

Whatevs. Day one buy x3

This game absolutely made the Direct for me. My favorite 3DS game ever. I've no idea why it's so appealing but I've already pre-ordered for Switch.

I never thought we'd get to 2021 and the music industry would still exist...and still suck as bad as they've ever sucked.

I played this on Game Pass a few months ago and really wanted to like it. I ended up exiting after about 4 or 5 hours. Too much backtracking and abysmal wayfinding kept it from being great.

It was brilliant on my PC. Brilliant again on my PS4. Brilliant a 3rd time on my Xbox One. I assume it'll be great on Switch but a 4th buy? Nah.

Credit where due though, I **did** consider it for a minute or two. It's that good.

I truly loved this game. It was such a surprise to see it published by Panic, creators of amazing Mac apps like Coda that I use every day, as well as locals here in Portland, Oregon.

Sat through an entire Nintendo Direct yesterday waiting for Bayonetta 3 news that never came.

Upside: OMG Splatoon 3!!!!

Downside: 2022....maybe.

Bought this earlier this week and absolutely love it. I definitely agree that it feels more like Fitness Boxing 1.5 than 2, but figured I really need the exercise now that my region is back in strict lockdown so it was worth it either way.
