    A few days before Mario Odyssey came out, I had a heart attack (in my mid 20’s due to a random illness), the recovery was rough to say the least. Being on 10+ pills a day and hardly being able to move was insane.
    Mario Odyssey dropped and even though I had difficulty being able to physically move, I was able to traverse the incredible world of the game and go on an amazing adventure. It kept my head in a good place and that game will forever hold a huge place in my heart. ❤😁
    Edit: This happened back in 2017 :)

    Metroid Dread was my surprise 10/10 on the Switch. It was one of those games that kept me engaged, and I often caught myself thinking about how to progress past a difficult area or boss whenever I wasn't playing it randomly throughout the day. Can't recommend it enough. I also really enjoyed Luigi's Mansion 3. After watching this video, I've decided that will be my "holiday replay" this year while I am back visiting family.

    Link's Awakening - one of the greatest titles of all time. Just imagine that they did this on an old 8-bit Game Boy. How much they were able to pack into that in the early 90s is just beyond comprehension. I remember playing it back than and how I called the Nintendo Club hotline to get hint on how to proceed lol. Fantastic memories.

Although I can't get on with the BOTW and other games like Skyward sword. Never know where I am, always seem to be facing the wrong way! Maybe it's an age thing😃.

    Also, this isn’t an exclusive, but ori and the blind forest - definitive edition and it’s sequel is a 10/10 series for me 100%. Phenomenal design and soundtrack, compelling story told beautifully with few words, and gameplay is fantastic.

    Triangle Strategy so far is my favorite Switch game. Blew me away. My favorite story in all games I've ever played (and I've played many!), I beat the game 5 times, got all the characters, all the endings, maxed out my party. You gotta have some patience at the beginning because there is a LOT, a L O T of dialogue and world-building, but it's so worth it.
    The gameplay is similar to classic tactics RPGs, but also quite different - each unit is basically unique and has its own abilities and you really can make wild combinations with other characters, the terrain, spells, etc. The gameplay is phenomenal for people who like strategy RPGs, and the story is so good. Really mature, serious themes, adult problems of diplomacy, politics, sacrifice, failure, racism, I really enjoyed it so much. And the graphics are so beautiful! Top notch pixel art and HD2D

    Breath of the Wild for sure. Had enough nods to previous games for the nostalgia. I also never did like longer bigger dungeons, I'd get dungeon fatigue. So I loved the smaller shrines.

    I just ordered myself a Switch, and honestly, I can't wait. I haven't had a Nintendo console since the N64. I had the Game Boys, the DS, and eventually a 2DS, but the N64 was my last Nintendo "console". I can't wait to play Animal Crossing, the Zeldas, Mario Odyssey, Pokemon Arceus and Violet, Metroid Prime and Dread, Mario Kart, and so many others.

You've helped me a lot showing those games in video and I didn't sell It. Thanks a lot,I wish you all the best in the future projects and videos,best regards!

    Great video! I just got my first switch so these videos are very helpful! Mario Odyssey was so fun, SMT V is great and very big, I just started but am having a blast. Zelda botw Is pretty challenging but a thrill as well. I'm still playing obviously but am trying to visit the shrines to build health so I don't get killed immediately 🤣😱

    Xenoblade is my all-time favorite series, and I would give them all a 10 based on my experience. Of course, they aren't perfect, but again I am rating the experience. I would probably place Torna near the bottom. I do as much side content as I can, but I don't like the way they lock your progression behind it.
    You used the word "charm" when you talked about Link's Awakening. So let me get my hot take out of the way. I absolutely loved Bravely Default II. It charmed me.
    I am thrilled so many others have mentioned Astral Chain. I will cast another vote for that amazing game.
    I would also rate SMT5, Metroid Dread, and BotW as 10s. I am getting Personal 5 Royal for Christmas and all indications are that it will join the others listed here.

    Completely agree about Links Awakening; I been playing this non stop for the past few days and I'm really enjoying it. It drives you completely insane at times, just like all good Zelda games should, and the puzzles are tough without walkthroughs, but the game play and controls are really smart, it's incredibly charming, and its really satisfying to conplete.

I want to mention more, but a lot of my other picks might be solid 8s or 9s: Mega Man 11, Octopath Traveler (maybe a bit too grindy...), Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Super Mario 3D Worlds + Bowser's Fury, Eastward. I may flip some of these to personal 10s. :-)

I'm just reminiscing about how excited I was about the games back then... going to the store seeing all those NES and Game boy games displayed, some even playable at our local Dixon's it was (UK) That's all I wanted to do at the weekend, go to Dixons and play lol...

      @@davealaya I'm playing Three Houses right now. Had it for quite a while but didn't get to it. I found Triangle Strategy second hand while playing... I'm almost done with my second Three Houses playthrough and really kinda want to go again on the third house, and I'm thinking I'm going to need a fourth.....
      I wish the battle system was a bit more complex. I really liked Vandal Hearts.. terrain really played a factor. Archers could shoot farther from higher up, hitting from behind is deadlier...
      Three Houses is very fun but the battles are basically just flat and simple.
      I think Triangle Strategy is next on the list, or maybe I'll do an action game first.. I have Ys IX on the shelf too... But I hope Triangle Strategy has a better battle system. I played the demo but don't totally remember how it worked. Seemed very decent though. I just thought the dialogue was really too much... I want dialogue but I mostly want to fight! Hoping that won't be a problem... I think Octopath is really on the boring side... I put a ton of hours into Octopath and finished with a couple characters. I'd like to finish with all of them but I dread going back into that boring game..... (There's a ton of good stuff in that game but the dialogue and formulaic nature of the game just drag it down so hard).
      Hope Octopath II will improve that stuff..

    Wooo perfect timing with this video. I agree to all the games you listed, just Grandia i never played. I would add Astral Chain aswell, Monster Hunter Rise and a small game by a small company called Hello Games: "Last Campfire", getting teary eyed when I just think of it, that's how beautiful and philosophically profound it was. It didn't morally grandstand, didn't trick the player artificially into emotions, its even set up to be playable by children, and it's surface plot is easily understood by children, but it's messages for more mature audiences and minds is a really deep one in my opinion. To be fair it released on other platforms aswell, but i think if you want it to be a treat you gotta get the Switch version.
