Hello everyone... Hope you're enjoying the channel's gaming videos. Make sure to check out my latest Top 100 Best Nintendo 3DS games: kzbin.info/www/bejne/eYe2qIZ6n7iMoKM

[@paablo9956]

Tloz skyward sword 82 is just wild

[@killxdeath9117]

man you did a great job making this list loved it

[@brianmasiko274]

Very good work plus the art covers coooool

[@polgarcia5307]

Last month I just bought my Nintendo Switch OLED along with my first Mario Kart 8 Deluxe game. Obviously I want many more games, but for budget reasons I have decided that I will buy 1 approximately every two months. For now the next games that I had on my list to buy are exactly the 3 that you mentioned first. Super Mario Odissey, Super Smash Bros Brawl Ultimate and Zelda Breath Of The Wild, which of the three do you recommend I buy first? I listen to all kinds of recommendations beyond these three. Thank you :))

[@RM-le8oy]

I recommand botw

[@mdhb2]

Zelda

[@marconylara1272]

BOTW and Odyssey will give hours of gameplay, smash ultimate can be a bit boring if you're playing alone xD

[@fredyflo2975]

Si te gusta jugar solo te recomiendo que le pongas magia a tu Swich así lo disfrutaras mas

[@oldmanbiscuit7518]

why? the switch 2 is coming this year or next

[@Unknown-uo2yh]

Great list thank you

[@wickeddrac7489]

Cool list, some I even missed and now can go check out, good job

[@tommyortiz6623]

Just wish we had more games like Pokemon sword and shield, fire emblem 3 houses, Mario cart, Mario series, crash bandicoot, wi sports, super smash, Zelda(to name a few of my top picks)… would’ve made the switch a lot more popular. Some of these games even on this list are not good or get super boring quickly in my opinion.

[@tigerbelly2152]

what about disgaea 7 or DQM dark prince???

[@KeyDesh]

Wow, I've been waiting for the "All Games for Nintendo Switch" video for a long time, it will be endless

[@JohnnySoCal]

I'm confident new games will continue to be released for the Switch for several more years!!!

[@TheConsoleShowdown]

Switch already has more than 16000 games. If they show 10 second of each game, the video would still be over 44 hour long. 😅

[@KeyDesh]

@@TheConsoleShowdown Wow is this serious?, so it already has 4 times more games than the PS2 which has an average of 4 thousand games

[@intabeer]

Thank you ❤

[@NSCompassLogistics]

Great list!!! Huge fan of tetris!

[@elainbutros1294]

Thank you dear

[@samuz2089]

I enjoyed totk more than mario odyssey but both are goated

[@alexmorpheus6762]

22:53 one of my favorites

[@wrightlawgbc]

Missing a lot of great ports on this list but I guess this is mainly supposed to be a switch games list. However the switch does have some really great ports like red dead redemption, Batman Arkham city and asylum (not knight it runs like shit), hogwarts legacy which is still very enjoyable in handheld mode for me, all the bioshock games, borderlands, okami, etc. So many great ports for this system. The switch has such a fantastic game library with so much variety.

[@Ren-hg2zn]

botw over totk is wild

[@byronvonedmund]

Finally, Engage over Three houses

[@JohnnySoCal]

Fire Emblem Awakenings is still the best in the series, in my opinion.

[@byronvonedmund]

@@JohnnySoCal impressive, that's very based

[@Vibeywibey]

Awesome format! Great video 😊

[@TheAngous]

YES THANK YOU FOR PUTING ENGAGE ABOVE THREE HOUSES! Three Houses have the worst gameplay of any fire emblem. I understand that the chibi chara design and the story of engage is bad (and i agree with you , as a huge fire emblem fan i was VERY DISAPPOINTED) BUT : Graphics are the best in this game (omg returning to three houses is hard) , and it's maybe the best gameplay of the whole saga (or at least top 3 with Path of radiance and FE Fates Conquest).

[@fajriiarchive9720]

Imhappy about coming again,i think the old has gone

[@JohnnySoCal]

Right... this is an updated video with new current games.

[@ShapAart]

Thx u for your top!

[@PilouLePitou]

Digimon world next order

[@alexmorpheus6762]

28:33 currently my favorite switch game~!!

[@JohnnySoCal]

It's an excellent game but way too long to complete. It took me around 110 hours. I was getting irritated at the end.

[@alexmorpheus6762]

@@JohnnySoCal The 3rd semester is the best part of the game. I am already 90 hours into my 1st playthrough.

[@ErenTheWarcriminal]

Addictive rice farming mechanics

[@M40M40Y1NP31]

how princess peach is above pikmin 4

[@marconylara1272]

Because is not your list 😂

[@basik503]

Tunic? The messenger? This war of mine? Sonic Frontiers?

[@muhammadashrav0210]

Scarlet violet where

[@diogoleonardo7848]

90% is RPG…😢

[@CarrloX]

For you, BOTW is better than TOTK? Really?!!

[@JohnnySoCal]

It's debatable, but yeah 100% BOTW is better than TOTK. BOTW is a more focused, polished, and refined game where the story makes sense and adds to the gameplay. TOTK is a sandbox free-for-all fly anywhere and skip large sections gameplay, it's fun but hollow. Plus, TOTK did dirty to the horses... there's no need.

[@TheBeggies95]

@@JohnnySoCalInteresting

[@JohnnyRamirez86]

​@@JohnnySoCaltotk was Definitely the better experience. Even though I still like botw. Everytime I played botw I was already missing things from totk. But I guess to each there own.

[@rafaelc.c.]

For me too. In some aspects TOTK is better, but in many other BOTW is. And it is more rounded.

[@maxfuentes8571]

I love Nintendo

[@JohnnySoCal]

Who doesn't? They've delivered on innovation, quality, and just plain fun on their games.

[@Scarface07mx]

Love that you didn’t overhype TotK. It’s ok, and not better than BotW.

[@JohnnySoCal]

Right, BotW is a more focused and refined game.

[@asmabano6709]

Why do people forget that first console was made by Nintendo and play station exist all because of Nintendo and don't forget that it's a portable console playstation can't even imagine making a console like this because every portable console that were made by play station was flopped and will be flopped

[@JohnnySoCal]

I believe Atari and the Magnavox Odyssey were the first consoles. It was the NES that saved the gaming industry from crashing in the 80's. In respect to portable gaming I love my PSP and Vita, a lot of hidden gems. Monster Hunter on the PSP was a massive success in Japan.

[@ziper377]

The PSP was successful. There's people still gaming with it, and I don't think the same can be said about the NDS.

[@psycholol4855]

The psp was ahead of its time. Better than any Nintendo handheld at the time by far.

[@manueldelcaribe]

​@@psycholol4855and still ahead of Nintendo Switch with the PS5 but not everything is graphics and power although PS5 have some memorable exclusives the most successful console in modern era is the Switch even with all drawbacks the portability are everything this is why Nintendo is the best console right now.

[@tyzilla358]

You don't actually know why Sony started making Playstation. And your fanboy ignorance is hilarious. Sorry You're so angry. Lol

[@cristhoferwss1040]

Cuphead???

[@sefboi7357]

agusha gaming

[@kyodizzy]

A list without "Cruis'n Blast" or "Boomerang Fu" is not a real list.

[@marconylara1272]

😂

[@anhonestreviewer7015]

Agreed. Lots of RPG games in his list.

[@anthonyhowson7165]

Nfs hot pursuit remastered shouldn't be on the list visually great but the game is garbage cars don't turn drifting just slows your car near enough to a stand still and cops just go after you it's a terrible game and pokemon games so far down the list no I disagree mostly battle strategy games weres zombie army sonic origins sniper elite metal gear solid ports borderlands 3

[@kelpsykaoz7602]

Nice video BUT.... I agree this changes: Dark souls Remaster > Starlink Minecraft > Dragon Quest Builders Doom > Ninteno Switch Sports Dragons Dogma > RingFit Bayonetta > Mario Tennis Bayonetta 2 > Princes Peach Blasphemous > Terris 99 Blasphemous 2 > F zero 99 Pillars of eternity > Pokemon Sword. Monster Hunter Generations > Monster Hunter Stories 2 Divinity Original Sin > Pokemon Legends Arceus

[@TheArcticMoon]

Terrible ranking... Peach pikmin arms etc higher than some of best games ever...

[@marconylara1272]

Get over it, is not your list

[@TheArcticMoon]

@@marconylara1272 nah, he should mention it's "his" list. Title suggesting like it's based on some rankings not just personal opinion.

[@tyzilla358]

No

[@grayfox4819]

It doesn't matter that Switch has a ton of quality games. Sony fanboys and extremists nostalgic Nintendo fanboys will keep spreading hate against them. And when the hate will overflow, Nintendo will disappear from everywhere except Japan...

[@Zamzummin]

That's your imagination. The Switch is doing extremely well here, outselling the PS5 nearly 3 to 1, and Nintendo will continue to sell well wordwide. Look at how popular the Super Mario movie was. The fanboys are in the minority and won't make any difference to the average consumer.

[@zaknafein254]

"extremist nostalgic nintendo fanboys" "Nintendo will disappear from everywhere except from Japan" Boy have I got news for you.

[@grayfox4819]

What news? I have news for you: KZbin is FULL of videos of HATE against Switch's lineup AND of people who support them. Also Nintendo themed sites like Nintendolife and the subreddit are full of fateful people. If that's not an indictation of the sealed fate of Nintendo...

[@zaknafein254]

@@grayfox4819 KZbin is also full of people who fully support the switch and its lineup of phenomenal games that aren't engorged with microtranscations. Nintendo will be fine. Quit the doom and gloom.

[@grayfox4819]

Like who? Arlo who mistalked about the 2019 and 2022 lineup? Or BeatEmUp who always find the first pathetic excuse to pan it? Or that popular blonde guy who always find the first excuse to destroy its lineup? Give me a break.... Also, I'd like to mention textually what someone on Nintendolife's forum said: "I honestly feel Sony had a better 2023, because I was more satisfied with Spider Man 2 alone, than I was with all the Nintendo exclusives last year put together".... Again: this on Nintendolife. Do I really need to say more? Gaming has become messed up, and Nintendo is destined to disappear, and all because of some fanboys and the idiocy of the people who listen to them... Only in Japan Nintendo will continue to live strongly as it always did...
