2010 - Donkey Kong Country Returns
2011 - Batman: Arkham City (although Skyrim is a close second)
2012 - Professor Layton and the Miracle Mask
2013 - A Link Between Worlds (the runners up were Fire Emblem: Awakening and Rayman: Legends)
2014 - DKC: Tropical Freeze
2015 - Majora's Mask 3D (I never played this as a child, but it was such a fantastic game that it easily took the top spot that year)
2016 - Persona 5 (it might be cheating a bit to put this here, but my 2016 was really barren and I loved this game)
2017 - Breath of the Wild (even though so many good games came out like Mario Odyssey, Samus Returns, and Nier Automata)
2018 - Hollow Knight (that's the year it came out for Switch, narrowly beating SSB: Ultimate and Celeste)
2019 - Ring Fit Adventure (I haven't played most of the games that came out this year as I'm still trying to work through my backlog, but this one caught my eye and it was great how Nintendo managed to make a fitness game that was actual fun instead of mindless tedium or repetitive minigames)

Game of the Decade: SUPAH MARIO BROTHERS 2!
(actually Breath of the Wild)
