The BEST Nintendo Switch eShop Games of ALL TIME! 

THIS T-SHIRT GOES SO HARD, I CAN'T 😭😭😭😭😭😭 retroware.com/products/beatemups-eshop-tour-shirt

I lost my wife earlier this year. She had a multitude of health problems and chose to medically end her suffering with the MAID program in Canada. She had been sick, disabled, and dying basically for a few years by this point already. We played Spiritfarer together when it released and I think even just that experience of playing that game together and discussing its themes and messaging and whatnot honestly really helped me start to prepare for what would be the inevitable end of our life together in this existence. All of those stories were heartbreaking but also really touching and brought about closure and healing. I really encourage anyone who has experienced loss or who will most likely experience loss like this in the near future to play the game. Beyond the heavy themes and whatnot it is honestly just a really good game too.

All listed games: 3:28 Inscryption 5:34 Furi 7:58 Hollow Knight 10:08 Celeste 12:18 Spiritfarer 15:10 Scott Pilgrim vs The World 17:25 Cadence of Hyrule: Crypt of the Necrodancer featuring the Legend of Zelda 18:52 Untitled Goose Game 21:03 Eastward 23:32 Stardew Valley

Yesterday I was having a little anxiety attack and I remembered that back in 2020 I used to binge watch all these videos whenever I had one because they calmed me down so yesterday I watched both best eshop videos so far. The fact that you post this one today is a gift for my mental health, it’s been quite the journey, thank you so much Wood.

These Eshop videos have opened me up to games that i would have never thought I would play, im pretty thankful for that

The best switch games by the best switch RU-vidr!

I really enjoy this series a lot because you really go into detail explaining what the game is about and I think it's mostly because of that, I've been finding a lot of games that look really interesting that I might not have thought it would be just by first impressions or what they show you in the eshop. I definitely enjoy Stardew Valley, as you can guess by the profile picture. I finished a playthrough (or at least as much as I could) quite recently, and it's one of very few games I might go back to on that save and do a completionist run because I just enjoy the game so much. I have to admit that I'm not familiar with a lot of these games, so I don't have a lot to comment on them right now. I really do enjoy Ooblets, and I've been playing a lot of that recently. I also have quite a few games that I have to go back to and play since I do enjoy them, like Red Dead Redemption, Kirby and The Forgotton Land, and I recently got Metroid Prime Remastered because I watched part of your twitch stream on the game and I enjoyed that. I do wish I could go back and watch your playthrough of it, but I haven't been able to find it again, so I guess for now, it'll just live on in my memories. I also really like the art for the shirt, Kim did an amazing job on it! I hope you guys enjoy your Thanksgiving!

The fact that you are genuine and have such contagious enthusiasm and passion for games I don't always agree with your assessments but I've learned about and discovered soooooo many games I have atleast 30 games I've purchased all because I saw it here and still think Nintendo made a horrible mistake taking you out of the ambassador program but still been watching since somewhere around 2018

I would throw in CrossCode and Phoenotopia: Awakening. Two of the most phenomenal games of the past decade, indie or triple A doesn't matter.

congrats on the milestones for the eshop videos!!! love your videos ❤

For me that enthusiasm in the old videos of yours makes the review so much better..it does gives me the “must have” games vibe. Best nintendo youtuber ever

FYI, Scott Pilgrim is on sale right now for less than $5. I just bought it today after watching the new show on Netflix (amazing btw) and you’re absolutely right about the difficulty spike. As someone who grew up playing TMNT on the arcade, this is a TOUGH beatemup.

very solid list, my personal picks🥰: 10) Ori and the will of the wisps 9) Hades 8) The Messenger 7) Dead Cells 6) Bug Fables 5) Sea Of Stars 4) Stardew Valley 3) Crosscode 2) Celecte 1) Hollow Knight

I love this video for the game content but I REALLY love you revisiting your old self! As a RU-vidr and person I feel like you’ve really grown so much 🥹

10.my friend Pedro 9.shovel knight 8.boomerang fu 7.death road to Canada 6.black future 88 5.jack box games 5 4.hunt down 3.knight squad 2 2.door kickers action squad 1.bro force

Can’t remember which one, but your eshop videos is what got me to find your videos! Now I share them with my sister, who bought a switch just for indie games last year! Stay amazing Wood and I hope you and Kim have a great Thanksgiving!

I found so many games from these eshop videos. I played and LOVED Bug Fables. Kittaria Fables, Raji, Cult of the Lamb and Jenny Laclue. Recently I gave been playing Cat Quest 2, Sea of Stars, Little Goody Two Shoes and Wild Flowers.

My top 10!! 10: Children of Morta 9: Blasphemous 8: Ori and the Blind Forest 7: Overcooked 6: Dead Cells 5: Moonlighter 4: Enter the Gungeon 3: Stardew Valley 2: Hades 1: Slay the Spire (can you tell I like Roguelikes?)

A great list - this feels like the end of an era though. Definitely need one of those shirts (amazing design, Kim!). Kinda hope you’ll keep this series going

I love this series and I love a lot of games on this list, including the honorable mentions. My favorite eshop game not mentioned is Gris. The story and the process of greif is beautiful. The gameplay, visuals, and audio/music are also 10 out of 10 for me.

Wow, yeah I’ve been watching you for like 6 years… I don’t remember you being so shouty. You really have mellowed out. It’s been a great journey

I played Spiritfarer after my mom passed away and it was the most helpful experience I've had in gaming.

Freakin' Awesome! We are buying 7 shirts, 2 for us, and the rest for friends! Thanks so much Kim!!

All your videos are awesome and make me happy everytime!

I'm so happy you put eastward on here :) love it!!!

to see two of my favorite games (eastward and CotL) get so much recognition makes me so happy

I’m getting that tshirt. Omg this whole video had me …emotional? 😂 I landed on your channel in the early lockdown. It was your video about being let go of the partner program… and I was like “I like this guy.” Then I watched your eshop videos and I subbed bc I loved them, you opened me up to indies just as your remarked on in this video. And to come to your content and see how far you have gone and continue to go.. just so happy for you (and Kim!). Been subbed since 2020 and can’t wait to see your next adventure. Cheers!

Another great video, keep up the good work!

I get so happy whenever he mentions Eastward. Its one of if not my favorite game of all time and i'm glad to see that my favorite youtuber loves it as well.

awwh such a nostalgic series. Can't wait to have the next Switch and embark on another top ten series adventures with Beatemups.

This was one of the best videos or yours. Great idea, I loved the concept. I enjoy when the youtubers I like are true to themselfs and do personal videos such as this one, keep up the good work ❤

Dude, awesome shirt! Kim did a fantastic job!

Thank you for celebrating Spiritfarer! The writing and characters are extraordinary and the gameplay loop is addicting. The game is under appreciated

That 2018 video shows how much you have developed over the years, your speak is so much relaxed and easier to listen. That 2018 video is like putting these day videos x1.5 speed. Kudos 👏

I've loved your series and added a lot into my wishlist. Thanks, Wood!! 😊 Was West of Loathing reviewed? The humor is awesome and the gameplay is so unique. 😊

thank you so much for the constant uploads recently!

Using this video to build up my wishlist for the Steam sale to play on my new OLED Deck!

I usually don't like RU-vidr merch shirts but this one is actually great. Good job on that one!

Woods been posting so much lately and I love it!👍

Bought the shirt, amazing concept and aesthetic for that merch, and like always, great video Wood! Eastward would be my favorite and Im glad both John and Sam are on the design!!

With the elements of buying stuff in stores to enhance your stats, and picking stuff and people up to use as weapons, Scott Pilgrim seems like a modern River City Ransom, one of my all time favourite games. Now that I've seen this video I'm thinking about getting it.

you are my favorite RU-vidr rn

Love this video. Especially watching the journey your hair style makes! Oh .. and yes, Eastwood and Stardew Valley !!!

10. Celeste 9. Shovel Knight 8. SteamWorld Dig 2 7. Yoku’s Island Express 6. Cuphead 5. Limbo/Inside 4. Golf Story 3. Enter the Gungeon 2. A Hat in Time 1. Hollow Knight

Bro has been hitting the grind lately

The Messenger. One of the best games I have ever played. Perfect difficulty for me personally, wonderful graphics and an insane soundtrack, great humor and very good gameplay.

You screaming into the camera is what first drew me to you. You were so passionate, I loved it! 😀

Just bought one. Thank you for all your hard work and great videos!!!

I love that Eastward got love! It’s been one of my favs

Great vid, espeically since it contained old Red faced Shouty Australian Wood. I still watch your old vids from back then binge watching them during work. You can feel your warmt and honest efferts from those vids.

10 of my fav not in any order. Cult of the lamb, Hades, Celeste, Eastward, Deaths Door, Wildfrost, Moonlighter, Hollow Knight, Enter the Gungeon, and Stardew Valley. There are other great Eshop games naturally but these are ones that I have played at least 5 hours or more of and would say that even if you get it and only play a few hours its worth it because I’m sure you will enjoy it!!! Celeste I finished and was surprised that I did bc I’m not a huge plat-former so thats one I’d say was the most surprising.

For some reason, this episode flew by. I was so excited to watch it, and before you know, blam it's over lol. Looks like I just gotta marathon the whole eShop series!

Loved this video! Thank you!

A Short Hike really needs to be on this list. My favorite game here is probably Untitled Goose Game. Great list either way, there are so many good eshop games.

OMG I love that shirt ❤ I'm gonna get it asap~ Congrats, Wood! 🎉

I downloaded the Ori and the Blind Forest demo two days ago and absolutely loved it. Ordered the collection on Amazon instantly and got it yesterday. That's my holiday season made. I've only played that one and Cuphead. I'm not a heavy eShop user, so I'll look to get into games that have a physical version.

Nothing can beat Night in the Woods for me when it comes to games you can get on the eshop. It changed my life.

Another great video. Great shirt kim

Now that you’ve reached 3” you should start doing best xbox game pass games. I would really love to see it and i hope other people would too. Congrats on the t shirt btw❤

Earlier today I was watching the other videos in this series to see what I should but on the sale and I decided on dredge and now this comes out later today lol

love your vids!😁

That merch is awesome 😮

It’s been a ride happy to be here with you🎉

Love your vids

That's love dude with the dates on the t-shirt, you better put a ring on Kim's finger 😅

I’m buying a Switch in a few weeks. Your videos have been extremely informative.

Merch design is very cool!

The Switch is such a fantastic console with a diverse selection of games available in physical and online retail. Some of my favorite eshop indies include: Toem, Umurangi Generation, Steamworld Heist, Golf Story, Guacamelee 1 and 2, unpacking, A Short Hike, Chicory, Donut County, Florence, GRIS, Gato Roboto, Grapple Dog, Jenny LeClue Detectivu, Tangle Tower, Night in the Woods, Old Man's Journey, Murder by Numbers, Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion, and Wandersong. I have so many more I have yet to play and even with the Switch 2 on the Horizon, I'm looking forward to playing my current one for a long while.

Love the videos Wood ! You made me want to buy a switch 3 years ago so thank you for that !! Now idk if I should get an olead or wait for the new console....

I found you channel from the eshop videos. THX

12:29 I've been watching your videos since 2020😂

Please never stop making these videos!!!!

A little video idea: Wood's top 10 most played games (according to playtime). - across all platforms/just on Switch..? I think it would be interesting😊

I like this screaming, makes wood sound more enthusiastic. Probably why I subscribed to be honest

I can’t do a top ten but my top 1 is Yes, Your Grace. A massively underrated game and a must buy for anyone who likes point and clicks, story based games or game of thrones. It’s regularly on sale for only a few dollars/pounds. If you are reading this then just buy it, you won’t regret it.

“I’m in lesb- love with this game😀” -wood hard bestemups

Wood, I’ll support whatever you choose to do, but I really hope you continue to the podcast! I will continue to listen, because I’m interested in all you have to say gaming related! And there’s so much more to talk about than what can be fit into a video! You can still have guests from time to time but you would do great job solo!!!

I've loved this series Wood! Keep making great stuff. Some of my favourite eshop games would be Stardew Valley, Risk of Rain 2, Spiritfarer (I cried to this one), and Blazing Beaks. :)

That shirt is freaking amazing.

Just started playing stardew myself and I completely understand it's so amazing

I dont have a top ten but my favourite is ninjala because of you

Oh my his hair was hairing in the beatem ups game review. GORG.

Like the merch design it looks great

The screaming beatemups era... trauma 😅. We've come a long way. Been here since 2016 🤘

i’m always in a loop of: playing switch games i missed out on throughout the 4 years i didn’t have the switch. then continuing to play catch up because i missed great games as they released😭😭

The t-shirt design is brilliant! Any chance of a phone wallpaper version? Definitely need to add that into my wallpaper rotation.

Nice video!

The last campfire is an awesome puzzle/story game for like $2

1. moonlighter 2. spirit farer 3. stardew valley 4. cult of the lamb 5. grimoire groves 6. hades 7. ooblets 8. eastward (low because of ending) 9. potion party

I love how he’s saying that he doesn’t like how much he hates that he mentioned how depressed he was so many times yet he’s wearing an antisocial club hoodie

Where is my yearly video? Voting for game awards Nominees

My Nr1 is also Stardew Valley! I started a new safe file 3 months ago and now playing for perfection!

For me Into the Breach is my favourite Switch game ever. It got me hooked on turn based strategy games. Since then I played Pokemon Fire Red, South Park The Stick of Truth on my Switch and Monster Hunter Stories 1 on my 3DS! 😊

I literally came across u on Accendent now i love u man

I saw your review/promo for viture xr glasses…. Man i want em!!!!

What a great list. There’s at least 2 games I want to try now. And that shirt, goodness that shirt is beautiful.

Going to have to snag one of those tees! I missed out on your og Zeldies shirt sadly years ago

ever since Stardew Valley came out, I never saw it drop below #10 on the best selling E-shop games.

God, I love spiritfarer so so much. I think it resonated with me like Celeste resonated with others.

Lol it's funny how you point out that you use to scream. I never noticed until you pointed it out, keep killing it you rule my dude
