TOP 60+ Metroidvania Games on Nintendo Switch - THE ULTIMATE LIST GUIDE!

[@SwitchWatch]

After we made this ridiculous long list kzbin.info/www/bejne/eKindGlqZrl7ftk thinking it would be a one off, you guys asked for more all encompassing lists so we thought why not! We started with one of my favourite genres which is Metroidvanias and I got James & Jordan in on the action. We worked super hard on this and tried our very best to include as many Metroidvania games here so you will find something you like. If you can do us a favour we would be greatful. If you enjoy our work please smash that like button and the best thing you can do is share videos like this with a friend or 10! You have no idea how much it helps and we appreciate your help very much. On that note please do let the community know if we missed any games that should be here and if we should do more lists like this! Thank you all. Juan, James & Jordan

[@lordmercat8656]

Love this list! Easily the most comprehensive list of the genre that has, in many ways, come to define the Switch. MAJOR props for getting Touhou Luna Nights in there, stellar game! I would say that there are five games that should be on list that are out that have enough Metroidvania elements that they should be on this list! 1- Phoenotopia Awakening, not a lot of people picked this up on release and it's a huge shame, the game is an absolute masterpiece. It's not a straight metroidvania as there is an overworld that connects areas (like zelda 2), but there is ability gated progression with huge amounts of exploration, secrets, fantastic boss fights, honestly a hidden gem given how few people seem to have actually bought it. 2- Unworthy, shadowy, souls-like metroidvania with a focus on tough combat and unique weaponry. 3- Grizzland- really cool short metroidvania done up in Atari-age graphics that is a lot of fun. 4- Alwa's Legacy: SNES-style sequel to Alwa's Awakening. 5- Cathedral- newly released NES style adventure set in a crumbling cathedral, fantastic old-school fun! A few upcoming Metroidvanias to look out for this year- The Last Faith, super traditional castlevania style metroidvania. Gestalt: Steam and Cinder, a steampunk metroidvania with some gorgeous pixel art, Greak: Memories of Azur, a 3 party platform exploration game with metroidvania elements, Rune Fencer Illyia, a sword and sorcery metroidvania, and Rubi: The Wayward Mira, a really cool fantasy sci-fi metroidvania set in a dystopian future. In 2022: Vernal Edge, a fast-paced metroidvania focusing on some really cool looking swordplay, and Savior, a gorgeously realized bo-staff combat metroidvania that has one of the most impressive and immersive trailers I've ever seen.

[@debacofzomb9889]

I had an idea the other day. You know how you can use AI now to paint pictures and write books? Well... How about a multiplayer AI created metroidvania! You describe your character, and the AI creates a totally unique and different character with unique abilities for every person. Like "collects the 78 cards of the tarot and combines them to use different spells and abilities." Or "lovecraftian sorcerer evoking creatures of evil and invoking them to gain great power." The AI could continuously generate new areas and items so that the game becomes limitless, meanwhile the world at large attempts to overcome great challenges, such as defeating a super boss together to open up new portions of the multiplayer world. Also, i don't know if it's possible, but i would love if you could just tell the AI to make "Alucard from symphony of the night" or our favorite nail welding bug smasher et cetera, but i dunno how that would work. I would want smash brothers style PVP added also. Fellas, this would be the game of my dreams... Literally. That's where i got the idea.

[@nakedbeekeeper9610]

Don't forget Aeterna Noctis! It looks quite promising.

[@GiancarloE]

The fact that we still don't have a Metroid game to put on a list like this breaks my heart.. awesome list and video as always though!!

[@Faustustopheles]

yea... what the heck? why hasn't Nintendo put out a new Metroid game specifically for the Switch? so weird...

[@davidtownsend6092]

The one on 3ds was pretty IMO. But you're right we need a meteoid game on switch period

[@callumarcher8111]

I think that the original director of the Metroid series passed away or something? That may be why there hasnt been a classic Metroid game in forever, they don't want to overstep on the work of a dead man?

[@justinrangel2289]

Still no castlevania

[@rurounirgc]

Nintendo E3 2021: say no more

[@CoenBijpost]

Funny, I absolutely LOVE the visuals of Kunai. Might be the in my top 5 of most inventive game visuals.

[@SwitchWatch]

We like it very much indeed.

[@rxninja]

Fantastic list. One I can think of to add would be Record of Lodoss War: Deedlit in Wonder Labyrinth. It's short and sweet and somehow brings Ikaruga-like mechanics into the genre. You have two states you can swap between that provide different attacks and immunities while feeding each other, creating a really neat action experience. It inherits a LOT from Symphony of the Night, too. Highly recommended.

[@Antivenom1313]

I specifically collect Switch Metroidvainias so this list was helpful in letting me know about a few I didn't know about!! Thank you for this list. If you guys want to make a part 2 I have a comprehensive list of Metroidvainias that are out Physically, digitally and coming soon to Switch that roughly doubles this list that I don't mind sharing with you guys. Also ❤ you guys gained a subscriber.

[@Ravalad]

I would love to see part 2. I love Metroidvanias

[@dontrush4144]

Just getting into Metroidvanias and this is by far the best list I've come across so far. I look forwards to trying some of these out.

[@StevenBeverage]

I've gone MetroidVania crazy this week. Picked up Castlevania Anniversary, Dead Cells, Blasphemous, 2 Bloodstained games, F.I.S.T. and now I've found several I never heard of but need from this video.

[@nakedbeekeeper9610]

Another upcoming great one: Aeterna Noctis. Can't wait to get my hands on it. I also recently finished Ender Lilies and I absolutely love it from start to finish. An easy 10/10 for me and one of the top 10 in the genre.

[@gravesplendour3481]

Currently bingeing Guacamelee 1 and 2, probably my favourite metroidvanias and lovely on the Switch.

[@SwitchWatch]

Great games!

[@brandonconstantine3853]

If you are playing Guacamelee 1 & 2 you should join NindieNations youtube channel he is doing a Backlog Playthrough & for the first game Guacamelee was chosen. We are all playing it & talking about it on his Discord channel as well.

[@VladShpiro]

Yoku was the first game I launched on my Switch Lite. An absolute banger! The juicy visuals, the music, the puns in dialogue

[@johnbutner2570]

I stayed awake to watch the whole video. Took over an hour to watch, rewind to see the name, look it up on my Switch. Whew, hard work!

[@lordmetroid1]

Great video, I grew playing Metroivania games in the 80's.

[@lucacala3194]

Phoenotopia Awakening is so little talked about and criminally underrated, definitely would have made this list!

[@SwitchWatch]

Wow thanks buddy, not heard of that one. Will deffo check it out. Thanks!

I’m playing 8Doors right now. The hand drawn animation is amazing; music is great.

[@LiamACiDLord]

Such a great list! I honestly couldn't think of any game that you may have left out. I think you guys helped me discover this genre and ever since being sucked in I haven't been able to get enough ;) Kinda funny that I own like 95% of these games either physically or digitally ;) Love the work!!!

[@SwitchWatch]

Awesome stuff buddy! Thank you for your support 👍

[@LiamACiDLord]

@@SwitchWatch Goodness gracious, I had to go back and count and I actually "own" 45 of the games on this list. Some of which obviously are unobtainable **Eagerly anticipating Silksong and will definitely be a day one purchase no matter what the cost**

[@ravennyte7177]

Got 20 of them and I was quite surprised at that, think you added another 10 or so to my wish list, Does Hades not count, seems very similar to Dead Cells (not that it needs a mention anywhere now, everyone must be aware of it).💜

[@SwitchWatch]

Cheers buddy, Hades is a great game, not a Metroidvania though, Dead Cells makes it but only just. Not strictly a Metroidvania either but has a few things you can argue it in for. Thanks pal

Feudal Alloy has some great potential. I feel they missed a lot of great opportunities with that game. The world and animation in general is so clean and good, it's almost like an Adventure Time setting.

[@SwitchWatch]

There is a good few in our list that have elements of Metroidvania games but are not full on Metroidvanias in the true sense but we wanted to include them.
