Ranking EVERY Nintendo Switch 2 Game from BEST to WORST!

Watch on YouTube

Video summary

The host presents a controversial tier list ranking every exclusive Nintendo Switch 2 game from best to worst, explicitly stating that his opinions are subjective and intended to spark debate rather than provide objective facts. He clarifies that his criteria go beyond personal enjoyment, focusing instead on what value a game provides to the player, its standing within its genre, and whether it justifies the high cost of the console itself. The ranking system is divided into distinct categories: "System Sellers" for titles essential enough to justify buying the $500 hardware, a tier for games he metaphorically "licks daily," a middle ground for solid but not essential titles, a prestigious category for "games of all time," and finally, a bottom tier for entries that should arguably be deleted from the eShop. At the top of his list are heavy hitters like *Mario Kart World*, which he admits is bundled with every console and has an attach rate nearly one-to-one, making it a definitive system seller despite his personal desire for more free content. Other high-ranking titles include *Donkey Kong Bonanza*, which he praises as an underrated sequel to *Mario Odyssey* that feels like a genuine 3D adventure, and *Splatoon Raiders*, described as the most fun and unique entry in the franchise with deep post-game content. Interestingly, the host also places *Metroid Prime 4* and *Star Fox 2026* in his top tiers, acknowledging their quality despite his long-standing disappointment with the former and his initial childhood bias against rail shooters; he notes that *Metroid Prime 4* simply exists as a competent game that deserves respect, while *Star Fox* received a necessary modern update. Moving down the ranks, the host expresses frustration with several titles that failed to meet expectations or felt like wasted development time. He places *Kirby Air Riders* in a lower tier, criticizing it for feeling redundant after *Mario Kart* and noting its steep learning curve made it less accessible than other racers. Similarly, he harshly criticizes *Chilling by the Fire*, an indie game that relies entirely on multiplayer interaction to be fun, comparing the single-player experience to waiting at the DMV. Other entries like *Dragax Drive*, a mouse-controlled basketball game, and *Yoshi's Story Book* are relegated to the bottom for being niche, boring, or simply not appealing to an adult audience, with the host jokingly suggesting that some games should be removed from the store entirely. The video concludes with the host defending Nintendo's strategy of releasing a wide variety of unique games every month, contrasting this diversity with the lack of new releases on PlayStation and Xbox. He admits that while his list might upset fans of specific franchises like *Kirby* or *Pokémon*, he stands by his honest assessments, even if they seem harsh toward beloved IPs like *Pokémon ZA* and *Age of Imprisonment*. Ultimately, he emphasizes that the sheer variety of titles available on the Switch 2 is what makes the platform special, allowing gamers to find something they love regardless of whether it is a massive blockbuster or a smaller niche title.

Yeah, I decided that I'm going to rank every single Nintendo Switch 2 game from best to worst because, well, I have enough friends. Why not make some enemies? To qualify for the list, a game just has to be exclusive to Nintendo Switch 2. It doesn't have to be developed by Nintendo. It just needs to be only playable on a Switch 2 system. The bigger the fanboy cult following, the more likely I am to get cancelled. Also, the more likely I am to be a jerk and just want to upset people. I've done a lot of these rankings and every time I do, people always have something to say, which I think that's the fun part about ranking stuff because it's just my opinion. And of course, you're going to have your own. It baffles me how many times I do this and people say you're wrong. I'm not. Intrinsically and inherently, I will not be wrong today because it will be my opinion. And you can have yours and you can leave yours down below. But I will say I do try pretty hard to be fairly unbiased. I don't rank these just based on how much fun I had with them. Oh golly gee, thank you Nintendo. I rank them on what are they doing? What are they doing for me? What are they doing for everybody else? What are they doing in its genre? What is it doing on the console? Did we need it? Oh, [snorts and laughter] sorry Kobe. Or did we already have a racing game that came out 2 months earlier? As I said, I might make some enemies. And you know what? I'm okay with it. I give up. I'm just making content for fun now. And I thought this would be fun. And in fact, I've made it even more fun because a lot of other people would do a boring S A B C. What is this? Preschool? Am I learning letters and colors and numbers for the first time? Or am I making a serious video about Nintendo games in my 30s? I don't know which is better. We have at the top spot system sellers. These are the games that are worth going out and spending 4. What's that? It's going to be $500 soon. I already knew that. But I'm saying this like I'm learning it now for the first time because it's ridiculous that we live in the first generation of consoles where prices are going up and not down. And I can't escape the hellscape that is gaming in 2026. Cool. So, these are the ones that are worth $500 buying a system. Next under that we have I am licking that damn cartridge daily, nightly, and ever so rightly. It tastes so bad and I love it. It's not a system seller, but it's pretty dang good. It's so good. It's so good. I'll tongue it. Next, we have B. It's like a B. Next, we have a prestigious category, and that is this is just one of the games of all time. Oh, it really is. It just it it exists. Maybe I hit the credits, but maybe not. Then we start getting into the stinkers category. First we had this should have been a game key card. It's kind of like should have been an email, but in this case, it just really didn't need the full physical. Wasn't worth the data. And then finally, my last category. It's not a joke. It's not me trying to be cute or funny. It's an actual plea and outcry to Nintendo to delete that one from the eShop. Just don't need it anymore. I get it. Video game preservation is a thing. Stop killing games. All right. Maybe kill this one. Maybe just this one time. Well, before I start this video for so I don't know if you heard that is a big bag of Fablettics clothes. Apparently it's denim month. These are my tired old clothes that I typically wear. I'm about to get fabtic. It's like a Sailor Moon thing. [music] You know, this is why I love Fablettics cuz I I don't think I've ever in my life had jeans with a print on them. Sick. Okay, now I'm wearing the black denim. My whole perception of fashion is beginning to change and I feel like I am understanding I've been dressing wrong for a long time. I keep seeing like Tik Toks and clips of people telling me to stop with skinny jeans. I don't know. It's I I went to my Chemical Romance the other week. What do you want from me? But these more baggy jeans are really comfortable. They look fashionable, but it's real denim. I've been working with Fablettics now for a little bit and I've just I've been wearing all of their clothes. These have become my favorite pants. They're like slacks. Although now I have these jeans. I love this stripey shirt. I wear it on the podcast. And then just this white shirt, which I should have ironed, but I didn't. And that's the best part about Fabletics is there's just so many different fits. You can go baggy, you can go slack, you can go tight if you want. Don't let the My Chemical Romance thing dissuade you. If you want to, you can do it on Fablettics. And right now, if you're new to Fablettics, you can get a pair of their new denim jeans for just $29 when you become a VIP. $29 for a pair of really nice jeans. I actually put these on for the sponsor spot and I think I'm just going to wear them today to the podcast. So, click that link in the description and you can grab your first pair for $29 when you become a VIP. Thank you Fabletics for sponsoring this video. I wear Fablettics throughout this entire video. Yes, I agree, baby. Okay, let's go back to the video. All right, now that we have our categories in place and you know how serious this is and in no way is this a comedic video that you can't just have fun with and don't need to take it to heart, let's go ahead and start ranking some of these. I actually didn't make this tier list. Well, I did kind of. I stole one and then I changed all the categories and added a few games. Some of these I ain't even going to bother with. Like I don't really feel the need to rank the Virtual Boy in the Gamecube app. That's not really what I'm here for. I'm going to start with I guess Mario Kart, right? It's the launch title. So, what else am I going to start with? I want to clarify this is not a conversation about is it worth $80. Price has nothing to do with this. I am ranking these games based on the games themselves and the content that is in the video game. I want to make that very clear. Mostly because I still don't think Mario Kart is worth $80. You got to do a lot to justify $80 for me. And from day one, I've been saying 80 for Mario Kart. Yeah, I don't know. I don't know. Might need a bit more free content before I change my mind. I cannot put it in system seller. It quite literally is. I can't even argue the point biasly or unbiasedly. The attach rate of this game is almost one to one for every Switch 2 console sold. And I know that's because it was bundled in at the start, but that just proves the point even more, I feel. Also, it is Mario Kart intrinsically. It is Nintendo's best selling IP. Like you would almost think core Mario titles would sell more than what is the spin-off Mario Kart. No. Look at those numbers. Mario Odyssey sold like half of Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. That's bananas. Just get it up there already. Mario Kart is a system seller. It is what it is. I can't help you. It is. It's fine. It's good. I like it. I do like it. I need more content in it. Nintendo. Where's the DLC? It's been a year and a half. That was not the only launch game, though. I'm seeing a few other ones here. I kind of feel bad putting Bravely Default Flying Fairy anywhere on this list. It's not that it's a bad game. It's that I like Bravely Default fine. It's not my favorite series. It's definitely going to be my favorite Square Enix RPG. It's good. I know it's good. I just didn't feel any need to play the remake of it when it came out. I also feel like it was extremely forgettable. I can't imagine it sold that well. So, it's definitely not a system seller. I'm also not licking the cartridge cuz that just feels kind of gross. B for Bravely. It's definitely better than one of the games of all time. Oh, this is interesting. When I made all the little goofy titles, I didn't expect this one to actually be so appropriate. Welcome to more like welcome to a crappy game. Am I right? Welcome to a crappy That's pretty good. This game rubbed everyone the wrong way over Reggie's dead body. Am I right? You know, Reggie was the one that championed for Wii Sports to be free on the Wii. And Nintendo core were like, "We don't we don't do stuff for free." I don't know if that's a good idea. I don't know how Reggie got his way. I guess his body was just extremely powerfully ready for that one. But having that packed in with the Wii for sure made it the insane record-breaking console seller that the Wii was. But unfortunately, Reggie wasn't there for us when Welcome Tour came out, and we had to pay $10 for this. For this, it's not even really a game. It's an instructional manual on just how the Switch 2 works. There's a little bit of fun, maybe. I don't even know if fun is the word I would use for this. Pretty much one of the games of all time. What really annoys me about this game is there's technically paid DLC even when you think about it. Because as part of this instruction manual, you can check out the Pro Controller and the camera, but you have to actually own those things to play those parts of the game. So, not only do you have to drop $10 if you want the full experience, you also have to drop another like 150. What for this? I could put it in delete it from the eShop. But at the same time, what about it should have been a Game Key card? That category was just supposed to be, oh, it's almost bad enough to delete it. But honestly, we didn't get a physical for this game. And to get a physical instructional booklet that is also a game that you can play is actually kind of cool. And I might have been less mad about having to pay for it. So, actually, I think quite literally Welcome Tour should have been a game key cart and also sucks. I don't know how anyone could be upset. Let's do Splatoon Raiders. No, I'm going to make you wait for that one. We got to do Donkey Kong. Not a launch title, but pretty close to it. Just a month after launch, we got a $70 Mario Odyssey team sequel game that ooh banana. I love Donkey Kong Bonanza. It's hard not to recommend it as the goto game when people tell me if I get a Switch 2, what's the first buy? I always go Donkey Kong Bonanza. And not because it's my favorite. There's a couple of games coming up in this video that I have more fun with and I would also recommend, but Nintendo to me intrinsically is Donkey Kong Bonanza. The exploration, the platforming, the 3D adventure, just the fact that it does feel like a Mario Odyssey type game. It's such a fun game that in my opinion is also underrated a bit. It's weird to talk sales at this point and it doesn't really even matter, but Donkey Kong Bonanza has only sold like 5 million. And I say only 5 million is fantastic. It's great. But we're talking about what is technically a sequel follow-up to Mario Odyssey, which sold 30 million. And Bonanza sales have kind of just dropped off a donkey cliff. What's a donkey cliff? I don't want people to stop buying this game. I don't want people to stop seeing this game as it is, which is a system seller. really do love that game. The DLC is fun, too. Donkey Kong wasn't the only Nintendo game that came out shortly after the Switch 2 release. There was another great classic, a game that I'm sure everybody has thought about almost every day since its release, and definitely hasn't already been lost to the obscurity of time, Drax Drive. I still remember going to the Nintendo New York hands-on experience before the Switch 2 came out and I saw a line of people playing Dragax Drive early and it was loud. It was like 10 people with two JoyCons just slamming them onto the table. Every now and then you'd see one go like this because their arms were just killing them. But if you want to build some beefy veiny forearms, play Drag X Drive for 20 minutes. I still don't really know what Nintendo was thinking here with this one beyond we need a game that uses mouse controls and only mouse controls, but it seemed like their thought process just ended there. Some follow-up questions in game design I would have had would have been, well, is it fun? Don't worry about that. Well, is it full of vibrant color in life like the rest of our game? No, we don't need to. Just don't worry about any of that. I know our console has HDR for the first time, but this just it's not about vibrant colors. What are you not getting about this? It's supposed to be a drab and droll boring basketball game where you're forced to use mouse controls. You nailed it, Nintendo. Uh, delete it from the eShop. I don't know. This is ARMS 2. No one's talking about it. I got to imagine no one's playing it anymore. We don't need it. No one's going to miss it. Free up some space for it for another game. Just get it out of there. So, Metroid introduced psychic abilities in Prime 4, and it did a number on my psyche, that's for sure. I have a whole review on the channel about how disappointed I was in Metroid Prime 4. Really, honestly, one of my more in-depth and thoughtful reviews. I wasn't just ranting to rant. I really did have a lot of issues intrinsically and and quantifiably in almost every element of Metroid Prime 4. So, you can go watch that video if you want. I don't think it needs to be deleted from the eShop. I mean, I hate it. We waited 8 years for a game that couldn't even sell a million copies because nobody cared. It so clearly isn't a fun game. So much so that no one wanted to spend $70 on it. So, it ain't going at the top, tell you that much. I honestly can't think of a better place to put it than one of the games of all time. There's really not that much else to say. It really just exists. And I think even people that are fans of this game will agree that it is just one of the games of all time. It's not doing anything special. And it's not bad enough for me to want to, you know, not own it physically given the option. So, all right. What can I lick here? What can I lick? Ooh, I've been known to be a furry. Lot bunny is in my team every Pokemon game. Have you seen Lot Bunny? That's what it's called, right? the Pokemon. I don't need to clarify. I should just move on. Star Fox. What am I doing? What is What was that? Isn't that the sound from the start of like 20th Century Fox underdog? What a what an underf fox. No interest in this game. I had not even a whiff. Never was a fan of Star Fox. On this channel and on my podcast over the years and the entire time I've had an online presence, I've always said on rail shooters Can't name you one that I like. I looked inward towards myself after the new Star Fox release to try and figure out why I didn't like Star Fox 64 back in the day. And I think I figured it out. As a kid, when I got my 64, I got it with Ocarina of Time. And it was revolutionary for me. Like all of a sudden, I could go on this big open 3D adventure. I was literally off the rails that I had been stuck to my entire life as an NES gamer. So then trying to play a game like Star Fox 64, I was like, why am I being limited again? Why am I stuck in one place? I thought this console was capable of so much more. I just I didn't get it. But of course, I grabbed the new Star Fox when it released and I just loved it. This game really needed the fresh coat of paint. There's no way I was going back to the original now in my 30s and falling in love with it where I didn't before. But they did such a great job, a gorgeous job at bringing this game up to 2026 standard for a Nintendo console. Sure, the character designs are kind of goofy. Fox is supposed to be a young hot shot, but kind of looks like he's old and haggot and about to head into retirement, but none of that really bothered me while I was playing. I just had a great time, finished it twice to get the secret ending, played a little bit of battle mode, and then never touched it again. So, you know, like 5 hours, 6 hours for $50. But I said I wasn't going to talk about price, but I will consider the time. It is not a system seller. I'm not recommending anyone go out, spend a half a grand for 6 hours of fun, but I in my right mind could not put it at B or anywhere under that. I loved the new Star Fox and I'm licking the damn cartridge. It's kind of like a, you know, like if the top one was S, this is pretty much a. You get it? Great. So, we have a game in every category now. Perfect. That actually gives us a pretty good bar from where to go from here. If I get stumped, I can just compare it to one of these games in each of the categories. So, what do I compare Kirby Air Riders to? You know, other than a waste of $70. Oo, I can hear the Kirby fans. Look at this guy. He hates Kirby. I don't hate Kirby. You know what? I do hate Sakurai wasting 5 years of his life to develop something WE ALREADY HAD. I don't understand. And even Sakurai himself said when he introduced the game for the first time that he felt it was silly to make it when we just got Mario Kart. And he wasn't wrong. Certainly not a system seller. In fact, we've recently seen the numbers and it hasn't broke 2 million, which again isn't bad. I mean, that's not a bad number. It's relatively high, I guess, in the industry of video games. But at the same time, Big Walk just sold a million in 2 days. So, what are we talking about here? This is Kirby and it's Sakcharai of all people and it's a new Nintendo system and it just didn't move people. There's so many reasons for that in my mind. Everything is so expensive already. People are paying so much money for this console and $80 for Mario Kart. When it comes to getting another game, they want to dip their toes into the video game market and get something a little different, some variety in their gaming. They're not going to go for another cart racer for 70. If you look, and I'm going to prove this to you, if you look at those same quarterly sales, it actually shows you the attach rate of video game software sales to hardware sales. And it actually kind of looks like on average, every Nintendo Switch 2 owner has like one third-p partyy game and like one first party game for the system, roughly. Most gamers don't buy a bunch of games every month or even every year. So to make your second purchase just the same thing you already have doesn't make a lot of sense. And here's where we get even more for real. I know it's a Sakurai game, which means it's filled with attention and detail and love and so many little hidden things and just so many options. And it's kind of crazy that every character has unique animations just like in Smash, you know, every character has a unique way of interacting with the items and the carts, but at the same time, there's just it doesn't feel like a game that should have been $70. I mean, I'm really at like 50 or 60 at the most. And it's not that the game isn't fun. I mean, I don't find it fun. I do understand people that do. It's very unique. And I think it definitely has its niche of people that love it, and that's great, but it's not as easy to pick up and play and enjoy as something like Mario Kart is. There's definitely a learning curve here with Kirby. It honestly might have been the first party game I played the least. I put in a couple hours and just like I know I was pretty harsh on it there, but again, I'm using everything here as a bar. And I do think even though I finished Metroid, I think it offers more than what Metroid does. It's just not for me. I can't in good conscious say it's just one of the games of all time. I think it offers a little bit more than that by a little. So, I'm going to put it in uh B. And I feel really okay with that. I really did want to do every exclusive Nintendo or not, but I feel a little bad because the non- Nintendo ones are like indies. So, I just I don't want to be mean to an indie, but I really don't know what they were thinking when they developed Chilling by the Fire. I've talked about this game before. Well, I went down the rabbit hole of wondering why a video game developer that previously had only ever worked on board games was given a Nintendo Switch 2 development unit to make an exclusive Switch 2 game pretty close to launch. It just seemed like maybe there was better ways to invest that money and create something unique. It it this game really only feels like it exists for the purpose of actually using the camera in some sort of meaningful way. You know how Big Walk is a ton of fun because it uses proxy chat, but the actual game itself is enjoyable. Chilling by the fire is that if the game itself was not fun. If the game itself was so insanely tedious and mediocre and dril and boring that the only way to have any fun is to hope that the friends you bring with you have some sort of personality. Cuz otherwise you're just stuck in a really boring game talking to boring people. It's it's essentially the video game equivalent of being at the DMV. I'd rather go to the DMV. At least I get something done while I'm there. I get a new license and a picture that looks worse than all the other ones I've ever had because I'm getting old. Chilling by the fire is uh deleted from the eShop. Like how I said I feel bad cuz it's an indie game and then I roasted it harder. Then you roast nothing in the Well, you might get marshmallows actually. I don't remember. I've blocked most of the experience from my brain. Pokemon ZA. All right. Okay. I mean I Well, clearly I wasn't impressed. I expected uh much better from Pokemon ZA. Again, not that it's the worst thing I've ever played, but I've played better, and that better was Legends Archus. I loved Archus. Archus saved Pokémon for me. After just generations of hating almost every Pokémon experience I tried to play, after being such a big fan in the early days, Legends Archa showed me that there was some sort of passion and talent left at Game Freak, at least towards their Pokémon series. It was different. It was fresh. It was unique. It gave me so many things I've wanted from this series for so long, like real time capturing and battling baked all into a Monster Hunterlike experience. It just m So when I heard they were doing it again, but in a city, my mind ran wild. I didn't love that it was just stuck in one kind of small city. But in my mind, I thought, well, at least that gives them the opportunity to really flesh out this city, to create a realistic and meaningful city where you can enter a ton of buildings and you can go to a bunch of shops. And yes, it's a small light experience, but we've never had a large scale city experience from a Pokémon game. WW, I don't know at what point you want that sound effect to come in. SHALL I DO IT? I also had an issue with them not even committing to the one mechanic in the game I actually liked, which was scaling up the ranks by doing the night battles, because you do like a few of those and then the game just goes, "Oh, well, we were going to go from Z to A." you know, like the title of the game, a Pokemon ZA, which I thought that was really cool and unique, but at some point they went, "We're not even going to commit to that. We don't even have time to fully flesh or develop that out. You thought the city looked bleak? We're going to skip like 17 letters in this sucker." I didn't even mention the windows. It's also not as boring as Metroid. You know, it's Pokémon. The collecting aspect of it, finding the ones you like, the nostalgia, it carries it. I don't know. It really is. It's almost as bad as Metroid. Bear with me here. I'm just going to see how it looks. You know, there was like NPCs [music] that didn't move and pop in and out of them, too. You walk close and like a bunch of them disappear that the city felt so fake. All right, hold on. Kirby Air Riders was everything it was promised to be, and I would say more. [music] Yes, it's niche. Yes, I didn't really like it. But I feel like Sakurai promised a lot and overd delivered on his promise. It might not be for me, but it's a competent video game. One of the games of all time. That's Hyrole Warriors Age of Calamity. It's supposed to be Age of Imprisonment, isn't it? Age of Imprisonment is It's one of the games of all time. I don't know. Hold on. I know exactly where I'm going to put it. I'm going to put it in B. And let me put it there now and explain why. It's not licking the damn cartridge good. It's just not I'm not every final morsel. It's actually the first Zelda game, if you want to call it that. I mean, I know it doesn't even have Zelda in the title, but it's the first Zelda game I didn't finish. And for a lot of it, for me, it's because it just wasn't really fun. I liked that Age of Calamity broke the mold a little bit. It told the prequel story to Breath of the Wild, but it did it in this weird trippy timetraveling split universe way where you didn't know what to expect. You knew the story already. You played Breath of the Wild. So, having that story given back to you, but in a different way, introducing these really cute and unique characters like the little egg guy, it kept me guessing throughout the adventure, and I had a lot of fun playing as all my favorite characters from the game, like Link and Zelda and everyone else. When it came to Age of Imprisonment, I was looking forward to the sequel, but they tried to make it as canon as possible. And again, we already saw in Tears of the Kingdom many of these story beats, and we had the basic idea and premise of what happened. It's the same cut scenes. It's the same story. The only character I really knew was Zelda. And then these guys were there. Who? Oh, Typhan. That's my guy. And at some point, I realized I know this story. The construct Link was the coolest thing about the game. It did feel like a weird way of just cramming Link in the game without putting Link in the game. There's definitely a lot to like about the game. I'm not saying it's one of the games of all time. So, it just has to default to be. And I'm way less apologetic about that one because I'm Zelda man. I love Zelda with a passion, a burning fiery passion in my heart. I am the fan base. Wow. You know what? That feels good. I'm kind of scared of, you know, Splatoon fans and Kirby fans. But I am the Zelda. Who's going to attack me? But me, guys, we've had a lot of fun here today. I hope. But let's stop messing around. Let's stop beating around the bush because in that bush, I have noticed it's wiggling and writhing. There might be a Pokémon in here. Is this a habitat? Are we talking about Popia? Yes, guys. It's already a game key card. I can't put it there. That wouldn't make sense. Picopia is legitimately my favorite Nintendo Switch 2 game. It's got to be hard to beat it. I mean, I We have Ocarina of Time remake coming out this year, and for all intents and purposes, if that doesn't beat it, then Nintendo did something wrong. That should be my favorite thing ever because the thing it's based on is my favorite thing ever. But as of right now, Bopia is both mine and Kim's favorite Switch 2 experience, and it's one of the most fun games I have played in years. I'm fully addicted. Bubbly Basin just came out, and I am so far bubbled in that basin. You wouldn't even believe it. I can't not just spend hours when I pick that game up. It's It's overwhelmingly incredible. I have a whole video on it. It's Pokemon. It is a system seller and I would recommend it to absolutely anybody of all ages, genders, races, every I don't know why I'm specify and I feel like this could get messy. I'm going to pull out. That's what she said. >> Oh my god. >> No, that's what he said. Yeah, Fast Fusion. I don't really even I mean it is an exclusive. It just feels weird to put it anywhere. It's fine. Should I It's fine. It's B. Fine. It's B. Fire Emblem's not out yet. Although I will tell you right now, I'm pretty sure that's going to be a system seller for me. Or at the very least, I'm licking the cartridge. I mean, have you seen Have you se I'm licking a lot. I don't know what's wrong with me. Ocarina as we talk I mean Ocarina we we can that one I'm pretty confident in. I know it's not out yet, but to future proof this video just a little bit. Wait. Ooh, Yoshi. Oh, you know what? When I said Kirby Air Riders was the game I played the least, that's a lie. I'm now realizing that Yoshi exists. If you're like a little baby, like like if you're like like like six years old. Oh, Yoshi. Yoshi in the book. The story book game, whatever it Yeah, that one. Just perfect little babies game. Just perfect little babies game. That's such a great game for a little baby. I'm 35. This game is essentially a kids book come to life. It's cute. It's harmless. You can't take damage. There's no risk. There's some reward. I got very bored playing. I got so bored. Not bored. Bored's not the word. It's just I realized it. I'm too old. I wasn't mad. I wasn't angry. I wasn't like, "Oh, this wasn't what I wanted it to be." To be honest, it was a bit expected because Yoshi games have slowly been getting easier and easier and easier as I feel like Nintendo are transitioning this series to be more child-friendly, to be more for kids. You know, Nintendo's for all ages and their games are inclusive and anyone can play them, but they definitely seem to target certain games at certain age ranges. You have adults, teenagers, kids, and the Yoshi games are really just getting shoved in that direction. I don't think it's a bad game. And BT stand is for bad. So, it's in B. That doesn't make sense. It doesn't matter. Mario Tennis Fever. It's tennis. Okay. I I believe we have one game left. I'm not doing Breath of the Wild Tears of the Those are Switch games. I know they got Switch two releases. Whatever. It's different, you know. And I'm also I'm not doing all the DLC, the Mario Wonder DL little P package add-on, the Mario Party Jamberee DLC. that was really just nothing, you know, and there's no point. I don't care. It's fine. I'm going to focus on what matters. I'm going to focus on the big releases like Splatoon Raiders. [cough] I reviewed Splatoon Raiders recently and I said absolutely everything I wanted to about the game in that video and I really didn't have anything else to say. And that might sound like I'm joking if you watch the video, but it's actually true. I like the game a lot. It's really fun. It's a fresh take on Splatoon. It tried something different and unique, which I think Nintendo needs to do more of, but that's just Splatoon. Ever since Splatoon has been splatting, it's Nintendo trying something different and unique, and it's just working. I really wish Nintendo would try more weird things like this. Splatoon Raiders is easily my favorite thing that Splatoon has ever produced, and it's just it's so fun. I feel like anyone can pick it up and play it. kids can pick it up and have a great time with it, but there's also so much challenge when you start replaying some of those harder levels. There's so much postgame content, yet it doesn't hold my attention in long play sessions. That said, it is one of the best Nintendo Switch 2 exclusives. And for some people, it might even be a system seller. For me, I really can't give it that moniker. I'm not telling everyone anyone to rush out and buy a $500 console for Splatoon Raiders. However, I will say if I had to, if I was forced to, if it was something that I was being made to do, if you told me, "Hey, you can never play this game again unless you this cartridge right now, I'll tell you, well, that sucker isn't very big, so it's not going to go too deep down my throat when I lick the heck out of it. [laughter] I'm saltier than the salmons that splash upon the Splatoon Splaten shore when it comes to [laughter] this game right now. But I can't stress enough how much I really do love it. I really do enjoy this game. I will say this, this list is split up into like S tier system sellers, right? And then games that are really good under that. So, I do think that a game like Mario Kart World is a system seller over Splatoon. However, I would say Mario Kart World isn't nearly as fun as Splatoon Raiders. H I really like the list. I actually think I nailed it almost. That is my ranking of currently and Ocarina because I'm just taking a guess. Every Nintendo Switch 2 exclusive game from best to worst. How did I do? Here's the best things about opinions. Everyone's got one. What's the expression? Honestly, this is how I feel. These are my favorites. These are the ones I really like. So on and so forth. But it's just me, you know, just me. Just a little old guy. And I get it. Like I'm the guy that's making the video. So I'm the guy that's pissing you off [laughter] that this isn't how you want it to be. But the great thing is you can just leave yours down below and tell me how wrong I am. Also, while you're down there, why don't you like the video? Even if you don't, do me a solid. Also, and I never talk about this. You could you could subscribe. I don't remember when I asked last. It's probably been a while. But you know what else has been a while? The amount of time I've been stuck on 1.9 million. Do you know what that feels like? Pretty good. Honestly, I'm really proud of everything we've accomplished, and I'll never be upset about anything. This is a huge milestone, and I take it not for granted at all. However, there is a little bit of me that can't help but stare at this for the last year and a half and wonder what it would be like TO JUST ROUND IT OUT. I have a little bit of OCD and I would just like if it was a whole number. I don't need anything after that. I'm not expecting to ever see a three, but we are on Nintendo Switch 2 now. So, two is two is my lucky number. Come on. of all the videos to beg you to subscribe probably shouldn't be the one where I uh I'm not even I can't even I mean what are you mad about? I'll leave you with this. I think the coolest part about Nintendo by far is just their variety. We are so spoiled as gamers. This console's only been out for a year and a half and it feels like we're getting a brand new game every single month. I mean I just put like 15 of them on a tier list. That's literally like one a month. And they're all so different and they're all so unique and they all stand out to different communities, different players, different people, and different walks of life. I don't need to be a huge fan of Kirby Air Riders and Metroid Prime 4 because I've got Splatoon Raiders and Picopia. I don't need to be addicted to Mario Kart World because I'm already looking forward to being addicted to Fortunes Wave when it comes out. I'm honestly, and I'm just going to shill for a second, so thankful for Nintendo as a company, for everything they do when it comes to just being fun and different and prioritizing enjoyable games and giving us releases all the time. I think PlayStation and Xbox has like one game between them. So, as I say at the end of every video, this is me on top of an elephant.
