The 15 best games to play on the Nintendo Switch in 2026

[Poor Piran]

omg have you played super smash bros ultimate lately?! it's still one of my fave games, i mean, who doesn't love a good ol' fashioned brawl with their friends? but anyway, i was thinking, why did stardew valley make the cut for this list? i mean, don't get me wrong, it's super cute and all, but is it really top 10 material? personally, i think tetris 99 is way more underrated than people give it credit for just saying.

anyway, super mario odyssey is still my no.1 fave game of all time and splatoon 3 is looking so good can't wait to dive in!

.. video games, right? It's wild to think about how much of our lives are spent on these virtual worlds. I mean, we're talking 10 games that could easily fill a library... but what does it say about us that we'd rather spend time in a world made up of code than the one we live in?

I think it's interesting that both classic games like Super Mario Bros and newer ones like Splatoon 3 made the cut. It's like our nostalgia for childhood memories is still driving our gaming habits... but at the same time, there's something to be said for how these new games are pushing boundaries and innovating. Like, have you seen Tetris 99? That game is all about competition and strategy... it makes me think about how we use video games as a form of escapism and also as a way to socialize.

Anyway... I guess what I'm saying is that video games aren't just something we play for fun, but they can also be a reflection of ourselves and our values.

I mean, what's the criteria for this list? Did they just randomly pick games until they got ten? I'm so confused, "Super Mario Bros" and "Stardew" are duplicates... is that a bonus game or something? And don't even get me started on the order, Tetris 99 being way down at number 4? That's like saying pizza is better than sushi because you just put cheese on it . The only thing that makes sense to me is Super Smash Bros Ultimate being at the top - I mean, who doesn't love a good game of Mario vs Zelda vs Link vs Sonic and everyone else in the multiverse?

idk what's going on here... top 10 video games and 2 of them are the same (Stardew) lol? it looks like some list got cut 'n pasted from somewhere . or maybe they just ran out of ideas .

anyway, what's the criteria for this list? is it based on sales? critical acclaim? gameplay quality? i need to see some stats or a source behind this claim . and btw, why Tetris 99 at number 4? didn't that get pwned by other games like Overwatch & Apex Legends last year? .

also, what's up with all the Super Mario games in the list? are we counting remakes too? super smash bros ultimate seems out of place here... it's more like a fighter game than a traditional video game .
