Countdown To Switch 2: Best Of The Switch

It’s been eight years since the Nintendo Switch launched, and I’ve talked about it a whole lot on this blog in that time. It’s pretty crazy to think that at the time of this writing, the Switch 2 is only one week away. Before we put the original Switch to rest, I thought it’d be cool to write a little bit about my favorite games on the system. This won’t be the most comprehensive list. I was thinking of the best way to do this, and decided to do the highest ranking Switch game on each of my game of the year lists. That means there’s going to be a bunch I miss, but I can’t make this post a million words long. So, let’s get started.

How About That Direct?| Nintendo Switch 2 4/2/25

After months of waiting and rampant speculation, we finally got some real information on the Nintendo Switch 2. Obviously, I’ve been losing my mind over the possibilities this whole time. There are very few things I enjoy as much as I enjoy a new Nintendo platform’s launch, and this is only the second one to happen since I started writing this blog!

But that didn’t stop Digital Eclipse from putting out a brand new Power Rangers game in the genre.

This approach would later shift to being more about action after the success of Resident Evil 4, but many people missed the slower, scarier style of the older games.

Emio- The Smiling Man: Famicom Detective Club Review

Famicom Detective Club was a short series of two visual novels that released in 1988 for the Famicom Disc System that never left Japan. That kind of changed in 2021 with the release of remakes for the Nintendo Switch which did find their way over here. If you’ve been a reader for a long time, you know that I loved those remakes, with them being tied for fourth place in my top ten list that year. I always assumed that that would be the last we’d see of the series, but to my surprise, Nintendo announced a brand new game and it released this year.
