The Nintendo Switch may be looked upon as one of gaming’s Golden Libraries. With few exceptions, it is an expertly curated library that has something for everyone. And Nintendo seems intent on giving gamers what they want this time around. I over 70 carts for this system, I think I had, maybe 10 games, tops for my last few systems? Anyway, some highlights.

Zelda:BOTW: This game made me feel like a kid again. While it could have used more enemy variety and more traditional dungeons, If I’m being honest this game gave me everything I have been asking for for over a decade. This one is special. Thanks for finally listening, Nintendo.

Super Mario Odyssey: The 3D Mario game that finally won me over. Coherent worlds that the denizens of these kingdoms feel like they can actually live in, A Bowser that felt dangerous and on the offensive again, and what might be the greatest endgame since classic WoW Raids. Controls and camera finally feel right. Thanks for finally listening, Nintendo.

Splatoon 2: The single player is finally good, and it gives some system to system options. Overall an improvement, but it’s too small to be used as a coaster, or to prop up a couch leg once they turn the servers off. Lame. Still an important game, and a blast to play. Just wish you would have listened a bit more, Nintendo.

ARMS: Scratches that Wiisports Itch in the best way. This game is pure fun. The motion controls add a ton. I love experimenting with new ARMS and can’t think of a better party game. This and Splatoon provide Nintendo with two new vibrant universes for multiplayer. Great new property, Nintendo.

Mario Kart 8: Same great game, now with BATTLE MODE!!! BATTLE MODE!!!! Thanks for listening, Nintendo

Smash Ultimate: So much packed into this game. Great single player modes, multiple controller options, local multiplayer, every fighter in the series, and the best endine since Melee. Thanks for finally listening, Nintendo.

Kirby Star Allies: Kirby returns to the Beatemup it should be. Not quite as good as 3, but good enough to warrant a purchase. People who bich about it being too hard need to quit being bitchboys and waltzing through stages with 3 allies. It breaks the game. Should have been 40 dollars, but definitely scratches the Kirby itch. Thanks for listening, Nintendo. 

Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze: Same Masterpiece it was on WiiU, glad Nintendo brought it over, should have been 40 dollars.

Bayonetta 2: Ditto for this.

Hyrule Warriors: Ditto for this

NSMB Wii Deluxe: Stuff this up you lazy ass, Nintendo. Time to do for 2D Mario what you did for 3D. Otherwise fuck off.

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker: Same great experience, budget price, with more levels, and two player. What’s not to love?

Yoshi’s Crafted World: Could be harder, but would be lying if I said I didn’t love it. Should have been 40 dollars. Some of my favorite co op levels on the system.

Xenoblade Xhronicles 2: I’m certain theres a great game here, but right now I just don’t have the time to find it. Hard to wrap your head around the combat. The world seems good. Almost too vast. I miss giant robots.

Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle: Who wulda thought!?! This is soooo good. Any fan of Xcom, play this NOW.

Pokemon Let’s Go Eevee: This is a must play for people wanting a streamlined and brilliantly updated Original Pokemon experience. Ya know, before it went offrails with 1000 pokemon and the battle system became a 2nd job?
