Home console and handheld at once, the Switch redefined how we play: Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, Smash Bros. Ultimate, Animal Crossing. This Top 100 gathers the best of its huge catalogue, re-tested and re-ranked by RomWize, each title with its re-evaluated score, its versions, their rarity and their collector value.
"The combat is still a precision delight: dodge, parry, strike, and you slip into a trance fast. The roguelite loop punishes without frustrating thanks to wild weapons, and the metroidvania backtracking makes you want to comb everything."
"This crossover weds Dead Cells's bite to Castlevania iconography with obvious reverence: whip, Belmont, remixed OST. The new weapons slot into the existing system without unbalancing it, and the homage seeps from every room."
"A visual and aural splendor that hits right in the heart, carried by a magnificent soundtrack. Short and light on challenge, it's worth it above all for its emotion and beauty, to be savored as a moving painting more than a demanding game."
"The improbable mash-up of three genres hooks instantly and refuses to let go. The one-more-run loop borders on unfair, even if the visual variety stays modest."
"A Fire Emblem that reinvents its own formula. Running the academy between battles forges a strong bond with your students, and picking a house radically shifts your perspective. The calendar management can wear thin, but the narrative attachment is gripping."
"The benchmark roguelike deckbuilder keeps its tactical purity: every card you grab reshapes the next fight. On Switch the touch interface and controls coexist nicely, and handheld mode is perfect for chaining runs."
"Tactics distilled to surgical purity. Seeing every enemy intention turns each turn into a perfectly readable puzzle, and protecting civilians keeps the tension constant. Small on the surface, but devastatingly deep underneath."
"A tactics RPG that dares a system of squads programmed before battle, then lets you watch the ballet unfold. The Vanillaware art is sumptuous, and the class depth richly rewards the patience to optimize."
"Hard to discuss without spoiling: what starts as a horror deckbuilder keeps metamorphosing. The meta writing and disarming staging make it a one-of-a-kind experience, even if the second half splits opinion."
"The culmination of the saga. The class and Interlink systems offer enormous tactical depth, and the story about mortality lands more truly than ever. The vast world demands its own pace, but the narrative ambition is remarkable."
"A love letter to 1930s animation, with every boss a demanding living painting. The difficulty stays stiff but fair, two-player co-op multiplies the fun, and the Delicious Last Course DLC matches the base game's quality."
"A remaster that does justice to a classic. The verticality of its open world is still impressive for its era, and the visual overhaul rejuvenates it noticeably. The somewhat dated combat takes adjusting to, but the epic is well worth the trip."
"A devastating narrative anthology: each member of the Finch family gets a vignette, a play style, an ending. Short but of rare emotional density, and a few sequences rank among the most memorable in all of gaming."
"A brilliant meta experience, funny and dizzying, that deconstructs video games with rare intelligence. Little mechanical challenge, but writing and self-reference that lastingly mark anyone who enjoys having their expectations played with."
"A landmark of video gaming, finally portable, whose story and mood remain devastating. The port makes technical concessions and carries a debated price for an old game, but Marston's epic remains unforgettable."
"Vengeance polishes an already strong formula: demanding turn-based combat, addictive demon fusion, and a new story route that shifts everything. Exploring Da'at feels cleaner, and the overall pacing is better tuned than in the original release."
"One of the greatest tactical RPGs in history, finally modernized and accessible. The depth of the job system and the richness of the story remain unmatched, and the added voice acting honors this masterful political epic."
"A breathtakingly beautiful metroidvania, carried by a moving score and platforming of millimetric precision. The timed escape sequences stay seared in memory, and the Definitive Edition enriches the map without diluting the emotion."
"A modern tribute to 16-bit-era JRPGs that outgrows mere pastiche: luminous pixel art, smooth traversal with no random encounters and timing-based combat with bite. The story takes its time, but the generosity of the whole wins out."
"The level editor is still ridiculously deep, and stage sharing keeps the community buzzing. The solo story mode finally gives a reason to play without building. Tools feel intuitive, but the real magic comes from diving into other people's wild creations."
