My Top 10 Nintendo Switch Games of ALL TIME! 

I love Stardew! I only found it last march. But I’m over 800 hours in. I cannot wait to play the 1.6 update. I need the new farm type. 😍 I think my other most played is Animal Crossing. It got me through the loss of a baby. I don’t know that anything will ever replace that for me.

I love Stardew Valley, but I can't lie...with so much to do, it can overwhelm me at times and the days going so fast trigger my anxiety. Animal Crossing is my favorite, along with Breath of the Wild and Cozy Grove. I can't get into Kirby. It's so adorable and I want to love it so much, but something just isn't doing it for me.

It’s 7 years old? Wow, time is moving way too fast

I bought the Nintendo Switch the first day it was released. The best purchase of my life, this console changed my life and my family forever ❤

I bought Spiritfarer ages ago on your recommendation, but didn't pick it up until recently. Now it has taken over my life 😅 I'm very close to the end now, and it has been such a journey. I love it so much.

One game that I LOVED playing was 'It takes Two'. My husband and I watched this RU-vidr 'Dunkey' and his wife play it and we NEEDED to play it. We goofed around in it and had such a fun time with the mini games inside of the actual game. The story was really well done as well (IMO).

i remember a year or two ago i was in your comments on here saying how much i knew you would love spiritfarer!! and you replied saying you couldn’t play it because of your grandma at the time . hope all is well, so glad u finally tried it out and loved it as much as i did!!

Spiritfarer will always be my favorite game on the switch, and favorite game in general. In all aspects, it’s just so well done. And I was hesitant to play it at first because I thought I would be too emotional (and I definitely was emotional) but it did such a good job at balancing somehow. You were sad but all the stories of each spirit leading up to the everdoor just hit your soul in such a different way. All of this to say if you were nervous about this game like I was just do it. You will never regret it.

Stardew Valley is so accessible and works for so many gaming styles. Don't want to farm? Fine - you can buy stuff you need for the vendor in the woods or just Jojo through. Don't want to fight? Fine you can use the quarry and do panning for ore/stone. There's just so many options on how to play. And all the different farm types and secrets and the villagers have actual personalities. Is so playable and re-playable.

I love Cozy Grove, Garden Story, TotK, BotW, The Last Campfire, and Stardew Valley. I also really enjoyed A Short Hike, Beacon Pines, and Roki.

I'm in the last stretch of Persona 5 Royal. Oh my God, soooo good! I didn't realize how much I would like an rpg.

So many great games on this list! I have been a fan of No Man's Sky since they announced it and even preordered it! I'm so happy with their hard work, because it really was unplayable for me. I got back into it in 2021, and since then, I have not stopped talking about it.

I’ve played Stardew Valley since the beginning. It is the exception and not the rule when it comes to farming games. It has been hard for me to get into other games since. Rune Factory 5, Fae Farm (gameplay), and Coral Island though have come close to Stardew for me personally.

My introduction to games with fantastic stories were SNES RPG's. At that time, most visual novels and other narrative games never left Japan, that is once they started being made. I think anyone who enjoys visual novels and narrative games should give RPG's a try... and possibly vice-versa, since that has worked out well for me.

Seeing some of the clips, I forgot how long your hair was when I first started following lol Great list, has many of my own tops on it for sure, especially ACNH. I think Wylde Flowers is the only other one that's really up there with it right now heh

The Nintendo Switch is one of my favorite purchases of all time. I am curious about Xenoblade Chronicles. I've never played it. I do love a good story. I think the one game that I keep coming back to as truly remarkable is Hollow Knight. It's hard. Its so darn hard but oh it's worth it. I also like Kirby more than Mario. :)

For fans of Cosmic Wheel of Sisterhood I recommend “I was Teenage Exocolonist” Such a beautiful game

Was just thinking this morning I was ready for more Eeowna content! 🎉 always enjoy your take on games!

One of my favorites I didn’t pick up until Christmas has been Lego Star Wars Skywalker Saga. The stories are emotional and there is so much to do without it feeling boring.

What a great list you’ve got! You’ve tempted me to try P5R and FE Three Houses. Wish I have more time to play!

The cosmic wheel sisterhood was absolutely amazing!!

As a fellow Brit, I can relate to your comments about animal crossing and lockdown. It kept me and my partner sane and enabled us to play online with friends and family. Will be forever thankful to this game and the timing of its release.

My top 10 switch games of all time are... Super mario odyssey Super smash brothers ultimate Breath of the wild Tears of the kingdom Metroid prime remastered Metroid Dread Animal crossing new horizons Bayonetta 2 Mario kart 8 Deluxe Pikmin 4 Love your accent by the way😁

Good list! I love seeing lists like this as everyone has their favorites, you know? I'm going to do two top threes. One where it is exclusive to Switch, and the other three being multiple platforms but I have it for switch. Like you, these are in no particular order. Switch exclusive 1. Kirby and the Forgotten Land I'm just going to say it. I love Kirby! And this is probably one of my favorites! It's adorable, plays really well and it is unique! I still remember finding out about the Kirby car and I was pretty much hooked! 2. Mario Bros Wonder I tend to gravitate more to 2D games when it comes to Mario. And my goodness is this game an absolute blast! When you have a game that makes me smile, laugh and clap my hands in every level, you have a recipe for a wonderful game! Plus... I love the Elephant power up! My new favorite power up of all time! 3. Miitopia I wasn't sure about this game at first, but I eventually gave it a try for the 3DS and it did not disappoint. And the Switch version is so much better! I love the different jobs, both normal and silly and the customization of everything is so crazy! It's also the only RPG where I don't mind the AI having control of my teammates. Multiplatform 1. Cult of the Lamb This game just keeps getting better and the Switch version has gotten a little more better but still has issues. Even with them though, I can't help but love this game. Songs played in the base have a knack for calming me down and I love how accessible it is! 2. Rhapsody: Marl Kingdom Chronicles I didn't think these games were ever going to come out here, but I am so happy they did! The whole series had a place in my heart and there is always somewhere in these stories where I will cry. But there is also much to smile about and the singing is welcome to me! Very rexommended 3. Thomas Was Alone I am picking this one because the narrative does it's job so well! Somehow you feel for these characters despite them just being squares and rectangles. The puzzles were also really interesting to figure out as well! I have a lot of facorites, but these were just the ones that came to mind at rhis moment!

I think you articulated the feeling I had playing TOTK as someone who loved BOTW, an amazing that just couldn’t quite replicate the magic of BOTW

Hogwart Legacy on my Switch Lite is so awesome man. Already played 65 hours since bought it 3 weeks ago when eshop have sales at $42. So fun playing it because no stutter at all, smooth upper 20fps

Your videos make me happy and have turned me onto several game titles that I've had hours of fun with. Thank you!

That is so funny what you said about Stardew Valley! I feel like I am exactly the same way… I’m still in that phase where I start the game just barely and then I move on and then when I come back to the game I sort of forget about everything I want to restart it againI’m so glad you have this perspective because now I really want to start it again and commit!

Amazing list~ i second a lot of the games you placed.

Have had a Nintendo Switch for 6 years. I own over 110 games for it. That is more than the games I have for my other consoles combined. Something about having the ability to play anywhere, any time, makes it easier to play more. I also ended up with an OG Switch, Switch Lite, Switch OLED, and a Pokemon Switch OLED.... Such a great generation for Nintendo.

Eeowna, have you ever tried Ni nu Kuni? It’s an old game and was originally released on ps, I think, but has a switch port now. It. Is. Incredible. And one of my all time favourite. It has a Pokémon vibe to it because you’re battling with small monsters, but what really brought my into it was the fact that studio Ghibli is behind the animation of the game. It feels like walking around in a Ghibli movie. I have played it though 3 times. Can’t recommend it enough ❤

7 years old and still the best. I’ll probably get the new one when it comes out but I can’t imagine playing on anything but my TOTK oled Edit to add: I’m also console hunting for the older consoles. 2nd Edit: my favorite has to be BOTW/TOTK. I consider them to halves of the same game but in a good way.. where it feels complete when you finally put them down. Also because I’ve had BOTW since 2018 and I still don’t think I’ve found everything in that game.. not even close. Same for TOTK since launch. ACNH is another, I loved sharing my island ideas with my husband and annoying him with how the characters talked (he never could stand that) now I share them with my boys and they share theirs with me. Stardew Valley and it really makes me excited for haunted chocolatier when that’s finally released. RF5 absolutely deserves a mention because of its gameplay and it’s gorgeous scenery and sometimes creepy… I love harvest moon winds of Anthos because it’s exploration kind of reminds me of BOTW in a sense, but with the knowledge you don’t have to constantly fight. So you can just enjoy the scenery and cute animals. I fully intend to tame a tiger.. at least this one won’t maul me when I pet it. They’ll except food items btw. Idk if anyone figured that out.. usually pet food is good. Honestly there are a number of games I’ve absolutely had so much fun playing that it would take hours to explain. But here’s two Indy games I recommend if you’re looking for something to help with your boredom. Shalnor Legends and it’s sequel Shalnor Legends 2. While they aren’t visually stunning in the sense of any triple A game you might find the graphics are still good and the gameplay is fun without being complicated. The story premise is easy to follow but I find still makes me wanna keep pushing to see what else happens. In all honesty they kind of remind me of the old legends of Zelda games… oooh also try spirittea.. it’s another Indy game.

Thanks downloading this now. "Expeditions in No Man’s Sky have become one of the most popular ways to play the game. They bring all players together to the same planet for an interstellar, shared experience. This weekend (Thursday 15th to Monday 19th February) we are allowing everyone, whether you own the game or not, to join the Omega Expedition."

I got my switch for my birthday, March 2020, March 23rd to be exact the day the UK went into lockdown and I play it every single day! It saved my mental health all through covid (thank you Animal Crossing New Horizons) and I can't believe I've nearly has it 4 years!

Agree on the Rpgs and stories. Maybe make a video about your favorite games with great stories because id love to play more games like fire emblem and coffee talk (which are my story favourites )

Yonder and Grow: Song of the Evertree, as well as Graveyard Keeper to some extent, are the ones that still haunt me. I did try Persona 5 Royale, and I got so frustrated with not being allowed to actually explore. There were so many options, yet I didn't feel like I was allowed to actually explore often enough to keep up. I was easily 20-30 hours into it. Might go back eventually.

I went through my whole games list on the Switch to see which games I've either fully completed or played enough hours of. And I do have enough to make a Top 10 myself lol. So here are mine (and they're not in order either)- -Super Smash Bros. Ultimate- Definitely lives up to its name. I only did the Story mode and it's a great game, but I didn't feel excited about it as I did with Brawl, so Brawl's still my fav SSB game. -Animal Crossing New Horizons- This is still the game I've sunk in the most hours on. I both love and hate the game lol. Love because of how much fun it was to create my own island and I had friends I could play with. I think this game was at it's best when you could play with others. I hated how addicted I got to it though. Loved the last update and I did get the Happy Home DLC with got me to play it another 6 months, but I finally dropped the game and actually deleted my island. I won't be getting another AC game because I hate the real time mechanic and I felt like the game would punish you if you took breaks so yeah. Still this was my "Covid game" and I don't regret playing it. -Super Mario Odyssey- Mario is the reason I became a gamer to begin with. I remember when the original game came out. Everyone I knew wanted to have an NES and my brother and I were no different. While Mario 64 is still my fav Super Mario game (from the main series), Super Mario is up there easily and I know I'll probably be replaying this game again this year (we'll see though). -Spiritfarer- First Indie game I ever bought on the Switch and this game is just special. It's fun and I love exploring the world. Normally I am good with figuring things out, but this time I did struggle figuring out underlining stories. Had to look them up on the Wiki for this game. Still the fact that I've sunk over 150 hours into this game is saying something. -Luigi's Mansion 3- First LM game I got and yeah I love it. I really enjoyed the different themes of each floor and the collectables. Fav area was the Garden one with the Magic floor coming in a close 2nd. Worst for me was the Egyptian one because of the time limit in certain areas and I had to use a guide because of that time limit. -Smushi Come Home- Such a charming game and while I am glad I got it, I wish I got it when it was on sale because I don't think the price was worth it due to just how short it was (took me 5 hours to beat it). -Submerged- One of the more recent games I got, I got it on sale in November after one of your colleagues recommended it. It's another platformer and what amazes me the most about this game is how well it told a story with barely any dialogue. This is another somber story since it takes place in a post-apocalyptic world. Gameplay is fun too. -Mario Kart 8 Deluxe- Avid MK fan here. Played every major console game. Yes I did get that big DLC package. This is the only game I'll play competitively, but I don't think I can do that anymore since I find that my hands hurt quicker whenever I play it. Still love this game though. -The Last Campfire- Latest game I completed and I got it when it was very cheap over recently. I love puzzle games and I was able to figure out all of them when playing on normal mode. I don't think I found all of the collectables though, that fog maze was hard lol. Very sweet game but it does have it's dark moments too. -Miitopia- Fav Switch game for sure. I keep coming back to this game, it's just so fun. Turn-based JRPGs are my fav genre for a reason. I love putting people I know into my party and the game had a few nice twists in it. Overall great list.

Love this list, Iona!!!❤❤❤ 10/10!!!😊

I just finally started playing Spiritfarer and I'm obsessed 😅

Never stopped playing Animal Crossing, Bought my switch because of it. Im actually on my 5th island. Absolutely love it.

I would love to see another farming sim ranking post-farm(aggedon). There’s so many farming sims now I don’t know which to play next as a switch player.

New Horizons is my favorite AC game so far, I just wish they had brought the mini games over from NL. It's the second best selling game on Switch! My 6 year old daughter and I love Kirby ATFL. She beat it almost all by herself when she was 4! The cafe mini game is my favorite and my daughter loves fishing, I also love No Man's Sky, although I haven't played in a long time. I have hoarding tendencies, so I love just collecting all the ore etc. I love Zelda. I love Spiritfarer, but haven't beaten it yet.

I’ve been addicted to wylde flowers 💐…. Need to play other games not done dream light valley for a while maybe when update comes

Thank you! I played like half of these games and this is some good inspiration ❤️❤️

RIP glasses 😢. I agree with your list and a few I have played and loved x

I’m with you there w Stardew Valley! I love it, but I can’t seem to progress.

What a fun list. I appreciated the editorial perspective.

Star dew valley is so amazing. I just bought my niece a switch for her 16th and DL so many digital games. I can’t wait for her to try SDV (I told her not to do it first lol). Then I sent her your you tube and was like “this will help you with what of my games you wanna play” 😂😂 I hope I’ve created a monster.

I’m still making my way through Xenoblade chronicles 1. I like it but I’m just slow. Is it worth sticking to it or could I jump to 2 or 3 before finishing 1?

It took me a long time try Stardew Valley but im so glad i gave it a go because i love it! I do wish they expanded the towns a bit more but it's still amazing. I LOOOOVE Persona 5 and Spiritfarer. I need to get back into them and finish them. Another one i adored was Dragon Quest 11 I need to give Xenoblade another try. I was so bad at the combat in the first one but i have all 3.

I played Persona 5 Royal off your recommendation and it’s safe to say it’s my favorite game I’ve ever played. I unfortunately did not unlock the 3rd semester (disliked Akechi’s character) so I am now playing again because even though it’s so long (even with fast forward) it’s totally worth it. Thank you ❤️

Stardew and Animal Crossing are two of my all time favorite games and they're the ones that I judge everything against and that I always go back to time and time again

I love Spiritfarer so so much! Its also one of my fav games together with AC:NH & Coffee Talk! Stardew Valley really caught my eye but I am still unsure to buy it, it seems kinda overwhelming..

for me SDV is a fine gem that even you cant finish it will never abandon you when you need it.

Rip beautiful glasses 🕶️ 😢😂

Spiritfarer looks amazing!! As soon as my switch is done charging I’m gonna install it! It looks so cute and cozy 😭

Which persona 5 do i buy? Are tbere multiple? I want to get the one you described.

I have all but 2 of these games: Spiritfarer and Cosmic Wheel of Sisterhood. Guess I gotta add them to my wishlist!

I wish they would remake the golden sun series

Im on year 8 of my stardew valley farm, first playthrough and ive had it since novemner lol. I only need one more recipe and 6 golden walnuts for perfection.

Definitely glad to see Forgotten Land on here. ❤

So I've never played any of the Xenoblade Chronicles. Do you suggest I start with the first one or should I just jump right to the third one?

I'd love to see a list like this for other platforms. Am I the only one who finds Death Stranding SO cozy?

I played Xenoblade 3 recently and I enjoyed it so much I can't stop playing it.

Just got mine yesterday. Love it .

7 years old And now is when i finally bought mine 😅

Stardew is one of my faves to play on the pc (I like to play with the no fishing minigame mod teehee)

Spiritfarer broke me 😢 but it's incredible

Animal crossing saved me during the constant fear during the pandemic ❤

My top 10 in no particular order: Animal Crossing New Horizons Pokemon Legends Arceus Legend of Zelda: Breath of the wild Super Mario Odyssey Legend of Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom Spiritfarer Fire Emblem: Three Houses Dragon Quest XI Mario Kart 8 New Pokemon Snap

Hi, I am new to this, internet was not around when I was a kid 😂. I am thinking about buying a switch lite. Manly to play hogwarts legacy for a start. Anything I need to know before going ahead? Like what type of Lite should I buy, do I need a micro SD card? 😊

Rip those beautiful wonderful glasses! 2024 was their last year 😢. I love your videos so much always makes my day

My top switch game is Smash bro’s ultimate 920 hours Animal crossing new Horizon 820 hours Fortnite 1.360 hours Mario kart 8 deluxe 255 hours Pokemon scarlet 215 hours The legend of Zelda breath of the wild 165 hours Tears Of Kingdom 50 hours Persona 5 royal 80 hours YT watched for 755 hours I have lots of games on switch I have Xenoblade 2 and 3

Great recommendations! I’m new to switch. Which persona one do you recommend? I can’t seem to find one without a number after persona? Thanks

Here to pay my respects to the glasses

Did you play Cult of The Lamb? I definitely think it might be in my top 10

The Nintendo Switch will be 7yrs old and it’s catching up to the PS2’s undefeated 24yr streak. That says a lot about the Switch. The Switch might end the PS2 streak pretty soon let’s see. As a proud owner of the all Red Mario Edition OLED model it’s an amazing device on the go. I love my PS2, but watch out Sony!

I have that stardew is time management and combat tho🤧

Animal crossing will always be my favorite. I had a 5 star island and restarted. I regret it lollloll but I will get back to it!

I'm torn between Disco Elysium, Dragon's Dogma (which I can't believe runs so good on the Switch), and the Danganronpa series as my favs. My number one spot definitely goes to Return of the Obra Dinn.

I’m Very Late to the party but I’ve only just bought a Switch. An OLED. Loving it so far, am hooked on Zelda TOTK

Awesome game video thanks 🎉🎉🎉🎉

Hi! I know this is unrelated and you might have gotten this question before but please help me out because I'm obsessed. Where in the WORLD did you get your glasses? They are stunning omg. Thank you :)

I can't get along with the animation style in Stardew Valley. It just doesn't draw me in.

Should we play xenoblade 1 and 2 before playing xenoblade 3? Thanks

*My top-10: cosy and not so* Untitled Goose Game - most cosy game ever Yoshi’s Crafted World Genesis Noir Moving Out FAR: Lone Sails Flat Heroes Rubber bandits Sausage Wars Machinarium A Short Hike It Takes Two Sky: Children of the Light Fall Guys Gang Beasts Art of Rally Human: Fall flat Little Nightmares LEGO Star Wars Trailblazers Figment Plants vs. Zombies FAST RMX Mario Kart Limbo Inside

I’ve just bought Persona 5 Royal, it was on sale on the switch. I hope I’m going to like it 🙈 it’s completely out of my comfort zone but I wanted to try something new . I usually go for cozy game with no combat . Anyone else played Persona 5 royal ? How did you find it ?

Alice was the hardest for me in Spiritfarer 😢

I tried the cosmic wheel of sisterhood demo last night I'm sold it's beautiful it's well written there's some lore I'll buy this game today on gog !!

i agree with this list!

I'm on the fence on getting a cozy game, should I get Lets build a zoo or Stardew Valley?

I tried playing No Man's Sky and I really, really liked it, but I must have been doing something wrong, because it took so long to travel anywhere that I just gave up. I would fly for 5 mins straight and still be the same distance away from a planet or my destination. Tried looking for tutorials but I couldn't find any for the Switch. 😩

Y'all sleep on TOTK. ALMOST EVERYTHING except MWA. Lol this my favorite Zelda game. It's 1:29a and I'm on it.❤❤❤

Can you recommend games that are not too down like wyldeflowers?

Id say metroid dread and astral chain is also must

I know it’s not your normal type of game but I would love to see you try hollow knight!

So surprised Wylde Flowers didn’t make the cut 🥹

Stardew valley remains for me the game where I completely lost my hours into. Unicorn Overload and 13 sentinels are also my biggest games.

Have you tried Luigi’s mansion 3? That’s high up in my top 10. I agree with BOTW over TOTK

So was that kirby game fun to play just curious thank you
