Forums - Nintendo - Your top 3 Switch console exclusive games?

This reminds me that the console does not have a lot of stuff going on for it. My two absolute favorites are Fire Emblem Three Houses and Xenoblade 2. Kind of hard to pick a third one because I actually don't like its other exclusives that much. Maybe Astral Chain.



My bet with The_Liquid_Laser: I think the Switch won't surpass the PS2 as the best selling system of all time. If it does, I'll play a game of a list that The_Liquid_Laser will provide, I will have to play it for 50 hours or complete it, whatever comes first.

As someone who doesn't own a switch I don't think my opinion is that knowledgeable. I can tell you this, If I had a switch the first games on my list are

Zelda: Breath of the Wild. Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Zelda Breath of the Wild.

Ok on a true maybe Mario Kart and whatever 2d mario they have at the moment.

Edit: Forogot about Luigis mansion. So remove mario kart and we got a list. I wanna try DK aswell. I liked it on the snes and wii

DK,Mario Kart and BOTW don't count.

ah, stupid me. Making a Nintendo console list without Zelda on it just seems foreign to me. Goes to show how much I actually know about Nintendo at this point in time. I assume this is because I chose wii-u/switch games? I have never fully checked the wii-u library to be honest.

Luigis mansion 3: bloody hell not going to lie guys I just went through the switch list of games. I think i might pic up a cheap wii-u because most the switch games i would play are on it.

Struggling for games.

Mario maker 2

always wanted to try the splatoon game. I know switch has a number 2

so. Luigis mansion 3, Mario maker 2, Splatoon 2. 

Edit: Just realized that remakes count so: Luigis mansion LoZ: Links Awakening. Ultimate street fighter 2. if  that dont count which i think it should then mario maker 2.

My (locked) thread about how difficulty should be a decision for the developers, not the gamers.

Honestly, as much as I love the Switch, and I own 28 games for it so far, if it has a weakness it's that it does kinda lack a great amount of exclusive content.

You can play almost all the best Wii U games on it, along with many superb titles from PS4, Xbone, and 7th gen platforms, but combing through my collection so far only 4 of them are exclusive so far. 

That said, with games like Monster Hunter Rise, BOTW2, and No More Heroes 3 upcoming, that should change as Switch's life progresses.

It's weird... I wouldn't say the problem is a lack of exclusive content. It's more like a lack of exclusive content that doesn't feel underwhelming, or at least extremely disappointing in certain regards. Like between the major Switch exclusives I've played, Mario + Rabbids and Fire Emblem Three Houses were very disappointing, Splatoon 2 was downright mediocre, Xenoblade 2 was pretty good but super heavily flawed (and after finally playing 1 with DE, a big step down from that game might I add), Astral Chain was a pretty nice start for a new IP but surprisingly rough around the edges mechanically, and Arms and Yoshi's Crafted World were so blegh that I spent virtually no time with them. And then there's games like Odyssey or Smash Ultimate or Animal Crossing, where I like the skeletons of the game a lot but they are either a bit too surface level or they just lack a reason to keep coming back. A lot of the issues with those games stem from things like Nintendo's content delivery service, where the games feel a bit incomplete at launch and they slowly add content over time ... which I dislike. Or just that the online is bad, like with Smash Ultimate, which I'd probably play a lot more if it had good online. They feel a bit too rough or incomplete. That's also why I didn't get Aces despite enjoying the gameplay when there was a free trial for it, the campaign felt rushed and half-assed. 

But if I enjoyed all those games as much as the average person did, I wouldn't really complain about quantity overall for the Switch at this point in it's life. Which is weird, because I definitely think that experiencing 2018, 2019, 2020 first hand there were definitely some moments of droughts ... but like, especially when including third party support, it became less and less each year for me. By 2019 half of the year was jam packed back to back with big titles and by 2020 there was enough third parties + backlog games for me to be satisfied even in months with not too many games (I have other platforms though, to be fair). 

I'd say including cross-gen games and remasters for the top 3: 

1. Super Mario Maker 2 

2. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe (kind of a weird one to put as I don't really associate it as a major game for the Switch even compared to other remasters/ports, but it's probably the 2nd best game on the system for me) 

3. Breath of the Wild 

Not including cross-gen games: 

1. Super Mario Maker 2 

2. Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition 

3. Paper Mario: Origami King 

Not including cross-gen games or remasters: 

1. Super Mario Maker 2 

2. Paper Mario: Origami King 

3. Link's Awakening Remake 

Honestly not including remakes would make the list a lot sadder though .... since the games I listed are basically the extent of titles I really, really, really enjoyed

I'd probably have Luigi's Mansion 3 super high up there too but I haven't put much time into it.
