The "99/35" series happened. If you had told me that Nintendo was going to do an S-Tier Battle Royal game via Tetris, I might have believed it because Tetris is really good and Nintendo are the kinda company that reinvent genres, but still the absurdity of it was pretty insane^-^

It's easier to focus more on the negatives when we look at the Switch and compare it to Nintendo hardware and features of the past, but the Switch era has still had some amazing moments and certainly some unique ones that are worth remembering. The remake to Links Awakening was certainly something I never really expected and it was amazing.

Add to that the remakes and localizations of Famicom Detective Club as well as Smash Ultimate getting its final fighter revealed sometime this year and...dang. What a banner year that I won't soon forget. Nintendo's best since 2017.

Being a long-time fan, it's amazing how much throw-backs this game had to their older games! NES SMB gameplay, Pauline returns, a DK-themed level, the musical numbers, it was pretty much validating fans investing in their history! The idea that any of these could happen within a mainline game was a pipe dream before, but now, it's no longer outlandish that I am Error guy, or Saria, or Midna, or Fi, can actually make an integral appearance in BotW 2. Odyssey isn't nostalgia bait, Odyssey was fan validation at its best.

There's always a LOT of room for improvement, but, as a fan of Nintendo and of video games in general, the Switch is my favorite console of all time. I think just the fact that it's SO good is the biggest unpredictable thing about the Switch. A very strong library of 1st party games; many fantastic ports from other systems of this gen, last gen, and some from way back; access to many of the great classic Nintendo games through Switch online (though I still miss VC); outstanding sales; and all of this on a hybrid console that just works so well (unless you have joy-con drift)... all after the train wreck (popularity-speaking) of the Wii U... I don't think anyone quite saw it coming. I understand people who mostly care about specs and hyper-realism, but for people like me who love Nintendo games and care most about gameplay, social experiences, and flexibility (especially as a parent)... I plan to keep buying games for my Switch and continue playing it for many years to come!

I think for me the biggest surprise has been how successful and mainstream the switch has become. After the Wii U I think we were all scared for Nintendo’s future, and I was the only person I knew who owned one. Growing up, all my friends were Xbox or Playstation, and the Wii felt like a novelty that no-one actually played. The Switch’s success and mainstream appeal is staggering to me. I’ve had so many friends who have no interest in gaming get one for BotW, Mario Odyssey or Smash, and then double then for Animal Crossing and the start of the pandemic. Whilst I’ve noticed friends also get PS4s, the Switch uptake in my circles are something else. Whilst I’m not surprised some of Nintendo’s crappier behaviours are still about, it does feel like Nintendo stepped into a new era with the Switch

I know a lot people dismissed Super Mario 3D All Stars (and rightfully so, particularly in regards to it's limited availability at least in the eShop), but to finally be able to play Super Mario Sunshine again, a game I sold years ago to pay bills, made me happy again, especially since I was itching to play it again months before the rumors of a Super Mario 3D All Stars game happened. Add to that that a CIB copy of Sunshine was going for around $45-$55, for roughly the same price I was able to get Sunshine plus 64 and Galaxy.

I nearly gave up hope of it happening, but both Great Ace Attorney games getting officially localized into English has been almost unbelievably special, as someone that holds the entire series near and dear to my heart. And they managed to get a physical release outside of Japan on top of that, which hasn't happened for a Capcom-published Ace Attorney in 11 years! It's been a good time for long-desired official localizations in general, like Moon, the original SNES version of Trials of Mana (via Collection of Mana) and, as mentioned in the video, Famicom Detective Club and Fire Emblem.

I’d say that some things you failed to mention is just how the Switch is an amazing Indie machine! Many indie games have gained a much larger following just because of their Switch versions. Also, just some of the great willingness from 3rd party developers to port some of their top graphically intense games over and actually have them play and look great on the Switch still. Those are probably the 2 biggest points that I will always remember the Switch for accomplishing

I sorta prefer Wii Fit over Ring Fit... Am I alone on that one? I mean, it offered much more variety with the amount of content, especially in the Wii U game, which is the best Wii Fit by far. Having your Mii as the main character gives the game a more personal feel, instead of using some generic avatar figure. Speaking of Miis, it was super cool to see some of your creations, and some of your friends and family in the minigames rooting for you! It also had some extremely creative uses for the Wii Balance Board (and GamePad) that I've never seen before! Wuhu Island was also a really fun place to work out in, instead of some generic, forgettable RPG lands. The atmosphere in general in these games was also fairly distinct and unlike anything I've seen before.

Might get some fire for this, but honestly, NSO has been pretty magical imo. Not saying the service is perfect, but honestly, if they were to go virtual console and sell the games individually with the addition of save states, rewind, and online multiplayer, I feel people would spending much more on these games considering the price of 2 SNES games and an NES game on past VC services (without to QoL/online) adds up roughly to what you pay for a year of NSO. Plus localization

I'll add Dragon Quest 11 S. While Dragon Quest 9 came out on the DS, the last Dragon Quest game released on a Nintendo HOME console in the West was Dragon Warrior 4 for the NES in 1992. Pretty crazy to think that we haven't been able to play a new DQ game on our TVs with a Nintendo system since the 90s when you consider the history this series has had with Nintendo. (10 came out for the Wii U in Japan but unfortunately it's never been localized - fingers crossed for the new Offline version).

BotW being open world and doing it in the way it did was a huge moment. It being the premier title for Switch and outselling an excellent 3D Mario title are huge for the franchise. The age of Indies and how they've started to place themselves as mainstream titles is also a huge milestone, and that's largely down to Switch being such a successful console.

the biggest surprise for me was how Animal Crossing exploded in popularity and how underwhelming the Switch Pokemon games turned out to be.

I guess, we should appreciate some of the ports and multi-platform titles... Witcher 3 on a handheld?? Skyrim on a Nintendo console? Civ 6?

Sega Ages had some interesting releases. Too bad, it didn't have anything from the Dreamcast era, but arcade version of Virtua Racing was great: I totally didn't expect it and bought as soon, as it got released.

I loved Virtua Racing too. Wish they'd do Virtua Fighter, NiGHTS, and Dreamcast games too, but sadly, I hear Sega and M2 gave up on the Sega Ages for Switch series due to poor sales...

I think the creation of Octopath Traveler will be a cool milestone to look back on. It's a completely new way in which old school styled RPGs can be experienced and created with modern concepts and additions. It started off as its own thing and now we have Triangle Strategy and Dragon Quest 3 coming in the same style. I think this could be its own thing and sub genre of RPGs as time goes on.

The Wii U had the remake of Wind Waker and Twilight Princess and the birth of many games that people love on Switch, like Splatoon!. The HD Mario Galaxy alone is huge imo. People had to emulate that game just to look current generation. Having 64 and Sunshine on there with it is incredible. I Love that "Mario All Stars" has a sequel :D . Also, Nintendo returned to cartridge (on home console). ...and they allow for SD card for a hard drive expansion (even more cartridge lol).

Sora in Smash can go on this list now. Kingdom Hearts in general now has a very strong presence on the Switch, even though it never really had any presence beyond a few decent handheld games. Unfortunately, Cloud gaming is also a brand new addition from this generation

The only one you didn't mention, that I really feel needs to be on on this list is the SNES version of "Trials of Mana" getting an official translation. For fans of the Mana series, this was a big freaking deal.
