Top 20 BEST JRPGs on the Nintendo Switch

[@SwiftGuyver.]

Happy to say I've played most of these and the ones available on PlayStation I've platinumed as well. So many incredible titles in the best genre of video games! Great list as usual Slam Zany!

[@slam-zany]

Thank you!!

[@Gamesrcool]

It’s true my JRPG collection on the Switch is insane lol. Ys 8 and Xenoblade are my go-tos. Love the combat in those.

[@vicvinegar4467]

I like action combat as well. Xenoblade has that perfect balance of action and turn based feel. So different and I love it for that!

[@slam-zany]

Ys 8 is really one of the best action JRPGs. I liked 9 as well!

[@mrp1234]

@@slam-zany did you play Ys Origin, it feels like the perfect Switch experience and it's so good

[@slam-zany]

@@mrp1234 It's in my backlog. I plan on playing it soon. I think it's on sale right now actually!

Great list!! Beaten Kaitos is a great one.

[@lordgeoffery-k1t]

Thanks! I'll check out beaten kaitos, it looks sweet!

[@finalfayth9165]

@@lordgeoffery-k1t you should play origins first im sure you will love it

[@femtrooper]

Awesome list! So many great games and definitely some I need to give a chance like SMT V Vengeance and Octopath Traveler II!!!

[@bethstranding684]

Octopath is so good!! It’s probably a top 5 game for me.

[@slam-zany]

Thanks! Yea if you’re up for a good challenge then Vengeance is awesome.

[@vicvinegar4467]

My favorite announcement from the direct was definitely Trails but Atelier looks insanely good too!

[@slam-zany]

Yea I recently got into the Atelier series so I’m really looking forward to playing the new one.

[@lordgeoffery-k1t]

Great list! Def. Gives me some games to play next.

[@RPGStory]

If you need a small handful of games to keep you busy for years then this is it 😂

[@DJEject2008]

Yes Bro. Have every Game Physical at Home. Its a perfect Choose you made. But there are many Games more. Have near 200 RPG Games and the Switch is the Perfect Console to play it. At Home, in the Train, at Work, at Hollyday, and so on. I hope for more RPG Games on Switch 1 and New Games the next Years. Dont need a New Switch but i will buy one some Times. Thanks for your great Videos and greatings from Austria 😅

[@JustKeepPlaying-b8e]

Great list! And any list with Triangle Strategy on it is already S tier. I agree the Nintendo Switch is definitely the best console for JRPGs to me. It’s where I really fell in love with the genre. The Xenoblade series is my all time favorite, with XC3 being my favorite JRPG of all time!

[@slam-zany]

Xenoblade Chronicles 3 is such a great game! The Switch really is the spot for JRPGs.

[@uppernimbus]

Stellar list man, and always a pleasure seeing the Xenoblade love! Switch has gotta be one of the best platforms for JRPGs, hands down.

[@slam-zany]

The Switch is easily my favorite console of all time! Can’t wait to see what Nintendo does next.

[@threeswordssama]

Triangle Strategy is so good. Really takes me back to old school tactics RPGs. I just got into Trails with Trails Through Daybreak (start at the beginning and don't do what I did) and now I've bought Trails in the Sky on Steam and bought Trails from Zero on Switch as well.

[@mrp1234]

I don't even know where to begin with great JRPGs on the Switch as we're truly truly spoiled for choice there. I would have to put the Xenoblade series as #1 as you can only get it there, whereas a lot of these other games ARE on other systems. but man, sometimes it's so hard to pick up the Switch just because I'm so stuck on what to play as there's so much lol stuff I do wish was on the Switch: older DQs besides the ones we have, Muramasa and Odin Sphere Leifthrasir, Bravely Default and Bravely Second (shocked these haven't been ported honestly), Chrono Trigger obvs, Radiant Historia, Radiata Stories, Tales of the Abyss, Skies of Arcadia, FFT/A/A2. and they're not JRPGs but ooobviously Wind Waker and Twilight Princess. I think these games would make it legit perfect for me. I guess Xenoblade X but I'm not really invested in that one making it over.

[@slam-zany]

True these aren’t in any ranking order. It might be impossible for me to rank all the JRPGs on the Switch haha. I would definitely agree with Xenoblade being the best exclusive JRPG without a doubt.

[@mrp1234]

@@slam-zany yeah no worries I didn't think they were ranked haha. oh also I wish we got more Breath of Fire games!!!

[@supervak5584]

Every time you mention TMS i want to try it more! My favorite final fantasy is definitely 9, i hope the rumored remake comes to the switch!

[@slam-zany]

TMS is great. You must at least try it 😃

[@nancycole8453]

Got all of them.

[@kermitwithamustache3885]

Ys, Tales, Final Fantasy, Nier, Star Ocean goated series

[@toolman4745]

Haven't played either trails on the switch because I'm still on sky third, but I can imagine they're both amazing. Sea of stars, rise of the third power, unicorn overlord, P4 Golden. Those would be some of my top picks off the top of my head

[@joeypeat]

I have everything but 5 of them on this list! Great picks! Persona 5 Royal was my first entry into the franchise, but Persona 4 Golden definitely is a personal favorite of mine as well. The Legend of Heroes is for sure a long, but rewarding experience when one has time to play them all. Trails to Azure is no doubt my favorite so far, despite not yet finishing Cold Steel III and the sequels thereafter. :( lol It's too long of a series! xD

[@slam-zany]

Thanks! Yea I’m in the Cold Steel arc right now and the series is definitely a time investment, but one that’s well worth it I think.

[@sanjithechef]

The switch definitely is the best in terms of originals + legit accessibility to classics. Originals alone, I can see arguments for SNES or ps1 for those who grew up with it, but yeah the switch is so amazing. I hope the next console is backwards compatible with all our physical games

[@omegaman182]

I just made a comment very much like this, remove the ports and remakes but said the ps2 and 3ds instead 😂

[@Luckru]

persona 5 royal is one of if not the best game i’ve ever played

[@hyperplayrpg]

Nice list - thank you. Two Xenoblades made our '15 Must-Play RPGs'. Started well but P5R was a huge, interminable disappointment. 15 better games in our Must-Play RPGs!

[@RawPower867]

Tokyo Xanadu Ex+ and Oath in Felghana

[@Hello_There57]

I would put smt5v above all The game has easily the most complex combat out of any game The massive skill selection allows to have different experiences

[@rockpapersniper5105]

If the new switch isn’t backwards compatible I probably won’t get one

[@MyDeeroc]

The first game u mentioned i played but i get lost and dont know where to go

[@MyDeeroc]

Xenoblade chronicles 2
