Brazilian eshop chart. Not surprised to see Among Us at top, the game is truly a phenomena here. Immortals Fenyx ranking is depressive, but I'm sure curent discount will catapult it to top 10

The rest of ranking is as usual filled with the biggest Nintendo IPs, hyped indies and Minecraft. Nothing really interesting to notice, unless maybe Fire Emblem among Nintendo golden franchises

I feel like 2020 as a year for Switch would've been much better regarded if Nintendo hadn't kept so quiet for the first 8 months, and if the games had been better distributed through the year, like if titles like Doom Eternal, Ori, and Immortals hadn't all been crammed into the final months.

The total number and quality of games I bought was actually pretty good overall, just absurdly backloaded.

Wow, I can't believe you did Astral Chain like that. Tsk Tsk. 

I still think this is the second best year for Switch for me by far, with 2019 being the clear #1. Funny how that turned out. 

I still put 2019 and 2017 ahead of it, but it's way better than 2018 for me. I actually bought more games this year than in 2017 (9 vs 6) but more of the 2017 games were great.

Astral Chain was on sale last week, but yeah it's nice it got a boost. I have my share of problems with this game, but I'm more forgiving to new IPs than I am with sequels, I hope it gets a sequel on Switch 

About 2020 vs 2017, 2017 had BOTW, Odyssey, Xenoblade 2 and Splatoon 2, essentially the first 4 games I've bought to my Switch in 2019 tells a lot about how important they are 

The only 2020 releases I've bother to buy were Animal Crossing, Spiritfarer, Immortals Fenyx and Xenoblade Remaster/Remake. I will put Ori on the list nevertheless because it's a great game and was released this year, same for Hades,  I'm getting both soon 

It's true 2018 doesn't stand out and relied and meh games like Mario Party, Pokemon LG, Kirby and Smash (the fans please don't disrupt the thread). The decent entries were mostly ports, but I'd argue the 2018 ports were better than 2020's ports. From 2018 we got Okami, Resident Evil, Tropical Freeze, Hollow Knight, Tropical Freeze, Crash Insane Trilogy

From 2020 we've got... Pikmin? Really I can't remember any port that grab my attention besides this one 

But in therms of new games I agree 2020 was better than 2018 quality-wise (although not quantity-wise), and new games for me wins over ports any day, so yeah 

I just wanted to say by the way, I finished Touhou Luna Nights on the Switch yesterday after buying it the day before, and it's a pretty great game. It's a very cool pixelart title that kind of resembles that "HD Pixel Art" artstyle (think Katana Zero or Iconoclasts), and is structured somewhat similarly to a classic Castlevania in how it's challenges work (despite technically being "open", it's progression is almost entirely linear), just with a much more fast-paced and intense combat system. It's really neat, a game that's all about mastering some basic mechanics that somehow pull the experience through the entire 5-6 hour journey. It's about $18 or so, and I think it's worth it at that price. Fair warning: After you beat the game you're going to want to look up how to do the "white shrine" since I think the extra content there really does do a good job of wrapping a bow around the present, with about 1-2 hours of more content (that includes retrying the bosses, though : P). 

Does anyone have a list of Nintendo/Switch Exclusives coming out in 2021? I'm setting up my 'console exclusives' list for each of the game consoles for next year like I have been doing since the Switch's release, and I wanted to be prepared. I got a pretty long list of PS5 games and I'm not allowed to post in [Redacted] threads about what games are coming out on that brand because I'm too critical of [redacted] for not having many good games the last few years.

For Switch I have Sports Story and Bravely Default 2 - games I'm excited for - but upon doing research I don't know any other Nintendo games coming out next year. I know about Zelda and Metroid and Bayonetta and No More Heroes, but I don't think we know when they're coming out. Oh, right, Mario 3D World is coming out and that has me excited, too! So what other games are coming out for the Switch in 2021? Exclusives, I mean.

The switch axe that was used in the new Rise trailer is very Monado like in design.

You mean to tell me you’ve never gone through a Steam sale and bought up 100+ dirt cheap games? =D
Steam sales have a way of transforming an average to even the most intelligent gamer’s brain into purchase-fiend-retard mode (speaking from personal experience).

Give the Monado more credit than that, this Switch Axe design is pretty bad honestly.

The new Monster looks great, though!
