Your top 3 Switch games in order?

[KC Hazel]

1. Smash Ultimate (I never thought I'd list this over BOTW, but 2000 hours later, this might be my favorite multiplayer game of all time.)
2. BOTW
3. Mario Odyssey

Someone has the same top 3 as me!

I'd switch Smash and BotW to put Zelda on top, otherwise that's my top 3.

[Kysen]

BotW
Mario Odyssey
Xenoblade DE

 

[Yavga]

Breath of the Wild takes the top spot for me, followed by Xenoblade Chronicles 2 and third and last would be Golf Story. They all did something for me that made them games to remember.

 

[Josh5890]

At the moment:

1. Super Mario Odyssey
2. The Legend of Zelda BOTW
3. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

 

[ngpdrew]

Probably…

1) Breath of the Wild - A cliché for a reason. This game struck me with a sense of wonder unmatched before or after.

2) Super Smash Bros. Ultimate - As a fan of the series since the 64, this felt like a love letter and a victory lap all in one.

3) Link’s Awakening - I don’t know. It’s just really charming and I have an urge to replay it constantly.

 

[Stupid Sexy Flanders]

My top 3 now - Cadence of Hyrule used to be in slot #3 but Dread just bumped it out.

1. Breath of the Wild
2. Super Mario Odyssey
3. Metroid Dread

 

[Vanillalite]

Top 3 Games

1. BOTW
2. Splatoon 2
3. BOTW

Top 3 Downloadables

1. Hollow Knight
2. Steamworld Dig 2
3. Graceful Explosion Machine

I played the shit out of GEM at launch if I wanted something not named BOTW to play.

 

[Fercho]

1. Horace
2. Metroid Dread
3. Luigi Mansion 3

(I own Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros, Mario Kart, 3 zeldas , Yoshi and DK but are still sealed)

 

[a time to chill]

My favorite games played on Switch have been:

1. Metroid Dread
2. Astral Chain
3. Luigi's Mansion 3

 

[Mondo]

1. Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate

I like Monster Hunter and it's a compilation of most of the pre-Monster Hunter World content. It's got lots of Monsters (93 in total I think) to hunt, a ton of gear and weapons to craft and even though I've spent so many hours playing this, I feel nowhere near close to having completed it.

2. Animal Crossing: New Horizons

The game that sold me on the Switch! I played it for a year straight after buying a Switch with it and I plan on getting back into it with the new update + expansion.

3. Mario Odyssey

The game that (almost) sold me on the Switch and I first bought after #2. Even tho all the 3D Mario games are really good, I have to say Mario's moveset in Odyssey is really good and while I already got 500+ moons, I still occasionally boot it up just to see if there's some more I can find.

 

[Chris Walken]

1- BOTW
2-Metroid Dread
3-Xenoblade Chronicles DE

 

[Sheldon]

I appreciate the open to interpretation word choice with "top", OP.

It's the launch year three:

1. Breath of the Wild
2. Splatoon 2
3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2

Sorry, Mario.

 

[totofogo]

Woof, nailing it down to three is tough but I'll have to go for the ones that are incomparable experiences to any other for me:

1. Breath of the Wild
   A world I've gotten lost in again and again, and an unbelievable step forward for my favorite series of all time.
   
   
2. New Horizons
   Unbiased from the fact that it's about to get a second wind, this game came at the perfect time and brought a bunch of lapsed gamer friends of mine back for a second lap during the lockdown. I have my issues with it, but I'm sure glad it wasn't delayed.
   
   
3. Luigi's Mansion 3
   The most flawed of my picks for sure: the segmented structure and wasted resources on a multiplayer mode that goes nowhere come to mind first, but I can't wait to see them expand on it in the inevitable sequel. This game is just a dream come true. It's the closest Nintendo has come to feeling like Pixar, and I'm continually delighted to see this once niche spin-off grow.

Honorable Mentions: Dread (not yet complete), Tetris 99, Ring Fit Adventure

 

[bellydrum]

 

[Hocot8]

1. Super Mario Odyssey

2. Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - Surprised me
3. Breath of the Wild - Sort of by default

I'll stop sorry

 

[NabiscoFelt]

Also my top 3 games of all time, since I only really started getting into the hobby after the Switch and nothing I've played from before the Switch era has surpassed these 3 (though stuff like Metroid Prime and Mario Galaxy get close)

1. Breath of the Wild
Wow. Such shock. Much surprise.

Yeah it's BoTW. Of course it's BoTW. The game's an absolute masterpiece that almost transcends the medium itself, hooking itself into your brain's childlike sense of wonder and exploration. It's just sublime

2. CrossCode
I already made a whole thread about this game that's languishing in the dark corners of Famiboards. Unlike the other two games on this list, CrossCode gets in the top three not through some transcendental experience but through sheer mechanical brilliance. It's a video game ass video game and the best one (imo) of its kind

3. Super Mario Odyssey
If you bottled joy and made it into a video game Mario Odyssey is pretty damn close to what you'd get. 2017 really set the Switch off to a running start (my top 10 list would include other 2017 greats like XC2 and Mario + Rabbids)

 

[Peleo]

1- BotW
2- Odyssey
3- Hades

Honor: Dread

 

[Tron1]

LM3
BOTW
Doom: Eternal

 

[VHS]

Mario Odyssey, amazing game in the series and my favorite even ahead of Galaxy and 64. Superb game.

Smash Brothers Ultimate, need I say more?

Breath of the Wild, a true watershed moment in open world videogame design and a breath of fresh air in the series.

 

[doop]

1 - BOTW
2 - Monster Hunter Rise
3 - Xenoblade Chronicles 2

 

[Cantaim]

1. Breath of the wild: what else can be said about this game at this point? It’s a masterpiece and one of the defining games of the last ten hell maybe even twenty years

2. Super Smash Bros Ultimate: Nothing else to say about this game other than. The roster and stages make me feel like a kid at times.

3. Wonderful 101: if you know, you know

 

[Lucifer]

Can't really pick an order, but the top 3 for me are:

Zelda BoTW
Mario Odyssey
Smash Bros Ultimate.

 

[totofogo]

Ha, turns out there’s a meme format for this going around (def not my top 3 lmao)
