Really incredible video dude I watched the whole thing and I loved it. I am a big switch collector myself huge Nintendo fanboy since my first console the super Nintendo I own a lot of these for the switch, but there are still quite a few that I don’t have on your list that now I’m intrigued and I’m definitely looking forward to see how many of these games get some type of upgrade on the Nintendo switch to, similar to how you mentioned the PlayStation 4 games getting upgrades to the PlayStation five versions well done. I enjoyed every minute.

Really cool list and loved hearing your thoughts! I’ve done 1-8 and the 5 GB ones with MM4 on NES being my favorite. Not sure how you distinguish favorite/best but I think it would have been cool to see you put 9 down at the bottom as your dislike for it’s clear as is your love for 2. Personally I think 3 is good but the Doc Robots I think are just way too difficult, among the most difficult things in the series, but it is still doable. I think GB MM2 is easily the worst, surprised to see it above both NES n GB MM1. I think GB MM2 is the easiest game in the whole series and the music is just unlistenable. But hey just my 2 cents, loved the video and finding your channel!

Been a minute since I did this video, but I think I didn't mention it for 9 just because I really don't enjoy that game so it didn't feel worthwhile in mentioning because I've just never been able to really get into it. It's all opinion and not law, so take that for what it's worth. As for Bas not being mentioned, just plain forgot to.

You'll see some jump up just due to availability, but I don't think you're going to see a huge spike for probably about 8-10 years. Typically when it comes to collectibles, prices don't really jump up until the generation that got their start with the product hits adulthood and starts getting disposable income and they start doing nostalgia purchases to reclaim some of their childhood.

Thanks for this list! I got a Switch OLED last year with 3 physical games but I’ve been adding digital games to my collection for the rest of my library. While I don’t plan on getting any more physical games, I’ve saved a bunch of games from your recommendations to my wish list. Prince of Persia was the most recent game I purchased, and I’ll probably get Super Lucky’s Tale next! I’ll definitely revisit your video for future purchases.

@@SquarePegs ...Vol 2 is still a good game however, I prefer #1. Ill submit that the in-game gameplay may be better in Vol 2 with added in-game features/players but for the reasons below, i prefer #1: 1. BIGGEST REASON....in "season" or become a legend mode, vol 2 limits the number of players you can have on you team (i believe down to 5) as where #1 you can have ~18 players. #1 was more fun to mix n' match. More replay value as a result. 2. in vol 2, your created player can only be a max of 7' tall. What the heck?? 3. Vol 2 took out the GOAT, TAKASHI. Not only that, they replaced the "maxed blocking" character to only be 6'4." Bad decision. 4. (subjective) i like the unlockable characters more in #1. Biggs, drake, takashi, magma man, yeti, etc. 5. (subjective) The players stats bar. I prefer the larger range of #1 as opposed to the 5 blocks (6 if you max, one stat) of vol 2. 6. in vol 2, in-game cheat codes (for example, unlimited turbo) only go into affect in "pickup game." They do not apply to "season"/become a legend modes (if i recall correctly).

I'm a collector as well, with 525 cartridges and I'm happy with the backwards compatibility. I think Ring Fit Adventure would be another to not "work" with Switch 2 as its joycons are too big for the ring, unless the Switch 2 accept Switch 1 joycons.

Runner Up: "F-Zero GX" Truly a miracle collab between Nintendo & Sega. Also, the fastest racer EVER! GOAT: "Phantasy Star Online" This one is kind of counter-intuitive. I actually like this version because it allows 4P split screen offline. That means even though the servers have been dead for decades my friends and I can play on well into retirement. Honourable Mention: "Viewtiful Joe" A game designed for the GC, which eventually got ported because of low sales. Old school greatness.
