Yo, what's up? Welcome to Kind of Funny Games Cats for Thursday, March 6, 2025. And one of your host's Blessing, Adio Ye Jr., joining me is LaCroix Paubey. Tim, Ma. Boy, Gettys. I have two LaCroys right now. I had a thought of how many LaCroys could I bring out here until you guys say something. And I like that you got ahead of it. I like that you got ahead of it.

Well, I normally have two and no one says it. You just kind of, it's fine. But I feel like if I had three, you'd say something. Three is definitely the limit. I was going to bring out six. Definitely would have said something at three. I would have looked at you having an arm full of fucking LaCroix and being like, Tim, you're good.

I was going to just try to sneak them so that you didn't see it. I was going to have a couple of here and just keep adding them. But I didn't. Throughout the episode, you had to timestamp whenever one gets added. Also joining us is, of course, the nitre rifle, Andy Cortez. Hello, guys.

Andy, hey. If Kevin Cuello told us. That he had an everyday carry. What would you think that meant? A what? An everyday carry. Fair to the background says a weapon.

I would assume that he has different bags that he uses, but that, like, he has one that's his daily driver. Like, either a knapsack or a fanny pack or a backpack or something like that. That's like... That's a pretty good, that's a pretty good, accurate guess.

Yes. Because somebody on Games Daily asked Kevin if he has an EDC, everyday carry. And Bless and I both assumed he meant a gun. And which too, which Kevin was like, oh, yeah, I have an everyday carry. And it didn't even like phase me of the fact that like, oh, yeah, of course Kevin's carrying a gun every single day. Like that is something that 1,000% Kevin would do. It would surprise us, of course. Yeah.

But it wouldn't be out of his character. Ah, fuck. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. Sorry. I didn't hit anybody. LOV in the chest

No, he said EDC And I would have assumed He meant electronic dance convention Which yeah, EDC is Electric Daisy Carnival is one that happens In parentheses they had to specify Like oh every day Every day carry

Ah amazing Now my second question would be If we did learn For the last three years That Kevin Coelho was coming in To work with a gun Like a concealed carry I wouldn't be surprised at all

Yeah I really wouldn't It makes so much sense that's like 1,000% something he would do that's the most honest answer you'll get out of me it's like okay yeah that makes sense if he had like if he had two like how many concealed carries

before we like all right that's too much so three LaCroys two guys I'm going with six I think if you like lifted his shirt he had like six weapons if he did the John Wick thing of like having them on his like around his weight his ankle That's how he would do it for sure.

Yeah, for sure. Golly. Remember, this is Kind of Funny Gamescast.

You're a kind of funny member. Today's Gregway is 12 minutes about Rogers' last meal, which I still don't know what that's about. Thank you to our Patreon producers, Delaney Twining, Carl Jacobs, and Omega Buster. Today are brought to you by Monster Hunter now, but we'll tell you about that later. For now, let's start with topic of the show.

We're doing a shit list. Of course, shit list is where I go online. I find a top 10 list. I bring it back to Tim and whoever else is on the panel, and we talk about it and judge it for your amusement. Now here's the thing, because there's a bit of lore to the shit list that we're doing today. A few weeks ago... It was my first time on a shit list.

No, wait, really? Very exciting, yeah. Wow. Well, you're going to experience the magic. Happy to be here. A few weeks ago, Polygon put up a list. It was February 11, 2025 is when they posted this list. That list is called the 25 best Nintendo Switch games.

I saw that, put in the kind of funny slack, went, hey, we should do this as a shit list. And everybody agreed. All right, and that's today. Here's the thing, though. A few days ago, March 2nd, 2025, Rolling Stone had the gall to put out a very similar list titled the 20 Best Nintendo Switch Games of all time. It's getting real. So we have two lists here.

And yesterday during the meeting, we were talking about this, right? Okay, we're doing the 25 Best Nintendo Switch Games shit list. I looked at him. I looked at the room on it and said, I was like, hey, do we want to pick a list? You know, the Rolling Stone was more recent. but like, you know, I like the idea of Polygon because they're a gaming site, like, how do we, how do we tackle this?

And Tim said, why not just do both? Why not both? And Tim, I love that idea. I love so much that I also want to elevate it. What if, for the first time ever on shit list, we did a list versus list. Oh, shit. Instead of deciding if these lists are the shit

or if they're shit, that's how we rate them, Andy. Is it the shit or is it shit? Very evolved show. What if we judge these by who has the better list? I like that. Polygon versus Rolling Stone. Love this. Okay.

What are your predictions here? Now, here's the thing. Like, what qualifies as a better list? Is it what the entries are? Is it where the entries are placed? I'm really interested if one list is 25 and one list is 20 are the same games on both list and one just has an extra five? Or is there just chaos?

And it's completely different. There's got to be five OLIs. There will be five outside looking ins that will not pop up for sure. So we've got to keep our eyes out for the OLIs. I like that. All right. So let's get into it, right? Andy, the thing that we usually do before we get into the list proper is we talk about what's going to appear on these lists.

This is a fun one because I feel like this is such a... Yeah, normally this is more fun when we're talking about best farts in video games and it's like, all right, we have to get real crafty about it. Normally what we do, we get on the desk and we dance a little bit. All right, shit. I've never watched the show, but it's part of tradition, yeah. I mean, I feel like there's the, there's the obvious answers of the Mario Odyssey, Mario Wonder, Legend of Zelda, of Breath of the Wild, tears of the kingdom. So the question is...

Does anyone have the balls to put tears of the kingdom at number one instead of Breath of the Wild? No, they're all fucking cowards. They should. They fucking should. That's my question. I think everybody's argument is Breath of the Wild comes first. And so that should be the better one.

It's the same argument Nick Scarpino makes about Iron Man 1. There will be a, I think the prediction is like, will one of them have it? As number one. I don't think so. I think, really. I'm going to think Polygon will have tears is number one. And Rolling Stone is going to be like pitchfork. They're going to be like, nah, it's, you know, fucking pigment four or something, you know.

I think Brother Wild is number one on both lists. Yeah. It's tough for me to make an argument for either way because I think the argument for Tears of the Kingdom is that, hey, it's Breathful Wild, but more. Right? It's Breathful Wild, but, like, you have more mechanics. You have all the combining of items. You have all this cool shit that you can do with the world.

story. Yeah, I think you do have a better story. You have the multi-layered design of the world map. Is it better music? But it's not only better. It's not only just more. It's like the mechanics are far better. I think.

Like, they didn't just kind of, hey, let's add what's on the cutter. Like, they added the stuff that I think would have made me equally, if not more, blown away. Like, if you reverse the mechanics and release. order if you had like the tears mechanics and put him in breath of the wild then vice versa I would probably think that Breath of the Wild is a better video game

really why like you're talking about like the abilities that you get like when you think of like breath of the wild it's like now I'm just gonna like totally go into Nick Scarpino Fast 5 when he's just like you know once you dig your heels in you know you say the Breath of the Wild is an inferior game it's like it's the worst fucking game ever

trashed as video shit is trash no but like you know Breath of the Wild had the Freezing the little cube that raised up for the water. And like that's kind of like to that was the most kind of inventive of all of them, I would say. No, come on. You can freeze an item and then hit it. And then like the item flies in that direction. Okay, that one was sick.

Stasis was cool. Yeah. But everything like, you know, making all the little toys and all the knickknacks and everything. Like it's it's more than just. Oh, sorry, so sorry. I might be misunderstanding you. I thought you were saying that if you took the mechanics, of tears and put it in Breath of the Wild, the Breath of the Wild would be better than

tears. I think that's what you're saying. I think if you swap the move sets. Like the abilities. Like the main abilities that you get. But you're saying that like Breath of Wild is a better game otherwise? No, I think I may still have the nostalgic factor for Breath of the Wild and go, yeah, but that one is first. And plus it's got, you know, the Banja Kuzzi Nuts and bolts of all the building

thing. Like I think that I would I think I would God of War 2018 it where I think God of War of 2018 is still like a better story and everything like that. But Ragnarok is a better video game mechanically. Level design. It's that and more. But God of War 2018 is like so special to me. Yeah.

But I thought the same thing was going to happen with me with Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom. And it's like, nah, when I played Tears was like, oh, I thought Breath of the Wild was the most special video game I've ever played in my life. And now this is the most special video game I've ever played in my life. The tough thing for me is like, for me it is based on the day. you ask me, I can kind of go either way with my argument that I'd make because I think everything we say about Tears the Kingdom is factual. And like, if I'm writing down these arguments on a piece of paper

or writing down like the pros and cons of both these games on pieces of paper, I think the Tears the Kingdom pros will probably way outweigh the Breath of the Wild pros. That said, I think there is something to be said about getting there first. Not necessarily that, oh man, I played it first, therefore it's better.

But more so, this Breath of the Wild introduced us to that high rule. And I do think that there's something powerful about that versus tears of the kingdom, right? Like, exploring that high rule and not knowing... It was different. Yeah, not knowing what was behind every corner, not knowing what was behind this mountain.

Like, not knowing that there were dragons in the sky. Like, not knowing, like, that temperature mattered. No, you're right. Like, there's so much about the unknown factor of playing Breath of the Wild and experiencing that for the first time versus tears where it's like, all right, tears, I know exactly what I'm getting into,

but now we're layering on, like, okay, we've improved the story, we've improved the mechanics, we've improved, or added more, music, we've done this, we've done that. On paper, Tears of the Kingdom, better video game. But like, I don't know, man. Breath of the Wild also is like, I think there's something powerful about the fact that it gave us that high rule. I think that gives it major points for me. I don't disagree there, but I will say that the difficulty for Tears of the Kingdom, the difficulty that

was already set by themselves, because they came out of Breath of Wild and it was, again, just this masterpiece landmark, holy shit title. And the expectations are set so high and the bar is set so fucking high and they were still able to way past exceed it for me. Because it wasn't like if I

if I just experienced a story because it's like the cut scenes and all that stuff was like the music cue, all of that was just like so magical and I couldn't have given a lesser shit about it in Breath of the Wild. It was so special to me in tears of the kingdom that I'd be like yeah the story was great but you know the magic of exploration wasn't quite like it was in breath of the while i still felt all of that and more in tears of the kingdom like i i think it's like never has a bar been set higher

for me personally and never has a bar been exceeded more than tears of the kingdom i also think the exploration is um i don't i don't think people give enough credit to the exploration in tears of the kingdom because i think part of the magic well yes it's not your first time there years have passed so the magic there is recontextualized and seeing what time has done to these places. And then also adding the cave system, like, the amount of, like,

getting lost in all of these caves, I do think, and like the sky islands. Just going up to the, like, going up to the roof, the ceiling of a cave there, like to exit,

like what, like, what, man. Nerd confirmed the chat said, if you're giving the game today to a newbie, you'd give to us the kingdom.

I think that goes a long way, right? Like, because you get that sense of exploration, that sense of, I don't know, I think I might give breath a lot. Really?

Yeah, to a newbie? Like, they've not played any, of either of these games. I mean, I would say play both, right? But I think I'll give them Breath of the Wild first. I disagree only because I

still think that it has everything mechanically and gameplay-wise that you could want. But I think aside from Stasis, which is sick as shit, I think everything mechanically in tears is more fun for me personally. And it has all the shrine still. And it has, you know, the better, you know, not quite old-school legacy dungeon style stuff.

But it's got, I think, better designed set piece areas. And man, those cutscenes fucking hate. I guess my thing is I think the experience of tears is enhanced by playing breath first, right? Like, I, there's something about, it's the, to Barrett's point of revisiting the same world that you've been to

that has time passed. I don't know, there's a different allure to it when it is, all right, what's happened to Terry Town? What's happened to like any, what happened to Kakariko? Like, what is going on in the story now with time past? I do think that there is an added experience there.

versus if I jumped into tears and that was my first time in that world, I don't know, I feel like I'll miss out on something. Well, you miss out, but if you could only play one. If you could only play one, if I could give, like, if I'd still say breath, if I still say breath of the wild, yeah. If I said there's a brand new Zelda fan,

or not a brand new Zelda, but somebody who played all the old school Zelda games and hasn't played since GameCube or whatever, I would give them tears because when you're hopping into the world of high rule in Breath of the Wild, there's still context preceding that that you don't know about. It's still this unknown landscape.

And I think the same goes for Tears of the Kingdom. If anything, going back to Brother Wild could be neat for people who play tears first and be like, oh, this is what the town looked like earlier after what the fuck? You know, I think all of the same exploration and all of the same wonder applies like one for one for a newbie.

What a game. God damn. Yeah, we had to get into talk about some other games, Right. So when we go, I don't know why Fire Emblem Three House is the first game that comes to mind. Because it's very high quality. And I feel like it was a lot of people's first Fire Emblem. I think Fire Emblem Awakening was definitely the biggest moment the Fire Unblem series had and it turned it into one of Nintendo's core franchises. But yeah, three houses, I think with the rise and success of the Switch and the timing of that game coming out, I feel like it was right after the initial kind of, you know, we got the Zelda. We got the Mario. And then people were willing to give a franchise.

a shot for the first time, and I think that really paid off because Three Houses was great. I think three houses will be a top 10. So shooting from the hip. Yeah. Zeno Blade.

Yeah. At least three, at least one of those, maybe both. Yeah. I'm gonna write down three, I guess. The one that I want to shout out

is Kirby in the Forgotten Land. Yeah. I hope. I want that game in the top 10. Not in five. I like it. Number 10. I like it.

I like it. I like it. I like it personally for you. I don't think we've seen in top 10 in either of these lists. Justice for Kirby. I think at least one. one of these lists will have in the top 10.

I think one of these lists will have it. No. You think both of them will have it. You think you can make a top 20 switch game list and not have Kirby? I don't think there's a shot both of these are missing it. And if they are missing it, then it's a similar situation to that what happened on that one list that

didn't have a Mario 3D platformer on their top. Rolling Stone. Yeah, I think it was Rolling Stone. Yeah. Shit, yeah. Oh, this is Rolling Sun too. So shit. Exactly.

I mean, Metro Dread. right it'll be on the list but I don't think it'll be that high here's the thing I feel like that we can kind of think about it in tiers right there's the S tier of these games which I don't think there's that many S tier switch games it would be Mario Odyssey the two Zelda two Zelda is is anything else Mario Kart smash those ultimate smell smash oh yeah because you're just thing right I can buy the Kirby not making top 10 but I just need we just need a list of 10 games because like yeah to the point of like the tier the tiering right I'm like all right but what are you putting above Kirby?

Obviously, you're putting, yeah, maybe Mario, maybe the Zelda's. Luigi's Mansion 3. Yeah, that's a very popular one. Okay, and see now... Prime remastered. You put Prime Remastered on there. I don't know that it makes it.

I think that's too port adjacent. Yeah, I think people still think about, think of it as a GameCube thing. For me, I think people, especially because people consider that to be like a remaster remake for Metroid Prime of like how much it enhanced the visuals of that stuff.

Like I think if we're putting Mario Card 8 on the list I think, or guessing Mario Card 8 I could see a lot of love for Prime. I think Pickman 4 is a deadlock for... Pickman 4 would be good. For both lists. Yeah.

Sorry, I said it before. Oh, Mario Maker 2? Great calls. Oh, Mario Maker 2 is great. Thank you, Tunger Boy. I said it over Barrett's talking about Animal Crossing, I think, is probably top 5 on both these lists. Oh, yeah. Mario Maker 2 will be a different culture. Damn.

On which list? Both. Oh, fuck. Okay. You think they copied it? Do you think the Rolling Stone Like looked at the Like the Polygon's list

Or do you think the person writing Rolling Stones list Saw that Polygon releases several days there Before I was like God damn it dude I was already doing it Here's the thing Because Adrian and chat says Astro Chain And I want to shout out Astro Shane It's gonna be missing from both these lists

But I think it'll be all one It should be like number 20 It could be I mean one of these lists has 25 games on it Yeah but like when you say Top Switch games They're gonna be fake Nintendo they're going to overlook astral change so easily.

There's not that many. There's not 25 first party Nintendo games that are... Which Mario Party makes the list? Ooh. Depending on all of them. Jambrey, I think, if... Jambrey would be sick, yeah. If the lists were... These are both in the last few months.

What's the fan consensus on Superstars versus Jambery? I think Jamboree overall is like higher rated. Okay. It's so hard for me to tell, because I never grew up playing a whole lot of Mario Party. And so whenever people have really strong opinions on any of the Mari-Piars, I'm like, they're all kind of fun to me. I guess I got to, it's so hard for me to judge, like, what's a really good Mario party?

I got two to throw out you. Splatoon. Oh, yeah. You kidding me? It's obviously same, sweetune 3 because there were two splatoons that came on. I would say, that's rough. I would say maybe two. Oh.

And then. We haven't even said, Pokemon. Yeah, I was going to get to get to Pokemon in a second, but I was also going to say Bayonetta 3, I feel like, is the lock here. Yeah, that's a great call. Do we think either of these lists don't have any Pokemon on them? Well, that was going to be. My question is, which Pokemon

does a Pokemon make these lists? Yes, I think. Is there a Pokemon worthy enough? Will legends RCS? Will any of the Let's Go? No. No. People really hate the Let's go. See, I was going to say a Pokemon sword and shield.

I feel like that's like the one that you can argue of, hey, it's a new game, it's a new Pokemon game, and also it's not broken. Yeah. It's like a full, it's a full working Pokemon game. My gut tells me it's going to be Scarlet and Violet and Legge is Arceus. I don't think you put Scarlet on Violet, Scard & Violet on this list. Rolling Stone, they do whatever the fucking lot.

I forget what I gave it. I think I gave it like a four out of five. But that was in the moment. Listen, I stand by it. That's a fucking great-ass video game. I'd be like, dude, this game looks like, oh my God, there's an umbri-on. I can't, oh, my God. In hindsight, I don't know, it's tough for an outlet to give Scarlet and Violet praise.

in hindsight. But there's also just a lot of games on the list anyway. Yeah. Yeah, we haven't talked about indie stuff,

Hollow Night. Are there, okay. I'm, okay. I'm, I guess I'm wondering how,

what are the multi-platform options if, maybe we start the list and we read the first paragraph. It's like, no multi-platform list, which is exclusive or whatever. I kind of feel like we're not going to see

multi- I feel like the, the intent of these lists is going to be more like, exclusives. Okay. I mean, let's see. I'm gonna put Towerfall on there.

I'll say Celeste. Yeah. Here's the thing is, oh man, at some point we got to do our top 25 games, right, and figure out what our criteria is

because I feel like the conversation would be around obviously the first party stuff, but a correct list for top 25 switch games, I think should have Celeste on there. If you're making a correct list. Yeah.

It's got to have Celest. What about Lego Horizon? Celest and Holo night, honestly, I'll put there as well. Those are huge indies that a lot of people associate with the Switch. Somebody said, people say Hades. That's the thing is, I think there's the, the eras of the Switch kind of shift.

Because that early era, the first two to three years of the Switch, I think the Switch was looked at as like the indie platform. Before it just became Slop. Yes. Before like all of the indie slop of here's this $1, you know, clicker or whatever. Did Haiti, Hades came out day and date on Switch, right? I think it was Switch and PC were like the only two platforms. Correct me, chat, if I'm wrong about that. But I do...

Wait, I think you're right. It was cross-progression or some shit like that. Yeah, and I remember booting up... Because I didn't want to play on the Epic Game Store, because that's when it was, like, exclusive to Epic at the time or whatever. Yeah. And I booted up a stream, and I was like, wow, this looks bad on Switch. Like, it is...

Yeah, like, well, like, when I had it up on my monitor, I was like, man, the font, everything is just, like, so low-res. It was 1080, you know? Like, it was doing its best to be 1080. And then I booted up the... you know, the higher quality version on PC, I was like, oh, thank God, I should have, you know. Yeah, it launched the Switch.

It was console exclusive to Switch for like a year. Yeah, and but the thing with Hades that, like, goes back to what I was saying is that I think Hades came out after that turning point of Indies. You know what I mean? Like, there was like that rush, but then at some point, like, it didn't feel like Switch was the indie platform anymore, as much as like playing on PC or anything else.

I totally, because for a while there, it was the it was the indie machine for me where it's like that's where I'm going to replay hyperligepter for the 90th time and you know stuff like that I mean a few all throughout too somebody in chat says Starview Valley right and I also think

I don't know if dead cells is going to get the look but like I'll put dead cells in the conversation of switch indies Tetris 99 I like that I like that he's cooking what about Mario 33 10-239 or whatever the number was belongs on the list but I don't think they'll put it there

Any other Mario sports games? No. No, absolutely the fuck not. You don't think that there won't be just like a cameo show up here at number 24. It's god dang. Tennis. Tennis, you know, because tennis wasn't a bad game. Tennis is the best of them, man.

Yeah, and it just wasn't even great. It was totally fine. Who was it? Bowser Jr. who was broken as fuck? God, man. I found the meta immediately. I was dominating everybody. You kicked my ass that time.

This is what I'll say. I'll be bad. if I see Skyrim on this list something tells me that Skyrim has a good change of showing up I don't disagree as part of that launch window my god tells me this list is going to be a lot more just like first party

I hope I hope because it's also a very popular Dark Souls remastered machine a lot of people love playing Dark Souls remastered on the switch because it's not the prepared to die edition so it has like a different kind of

look to it or it's like more akin to the older the OG version of Dark Souls but I hope it's a lot more first parties, Tim. I hope it's not a whole lot of third parties. Well, are you guys ready to jump in? Oh, shit, arms? Oh, damn.

No, keep arms off. Come on. Oh, what about Splatoon? We said Splatoon. Yeah, he's supposed to do. And he said Spiltoon 2. I think Splatoon 3. Because the Sputon 2 server is still up.

How does that work? Can I play Splatoon 2 right now? I don't know. But I feel like kids, the people were more hot on Splatoon 2 than Splatoon 3 when that came around, you know? But I think, here's the thing is I say Splatoon 3 is, I say Splatoon 3. because I wonder in writing this list, are you writing this list to, like, suggest things to people, right?

Hey, here are the top 25 switch games that you can play right now. Are we starting with Polygon? So I say again? Are we starting with Polygon? Yeah, we're going to start with Polygon. That's 25. Yeah, Polygon has the top 25.

Oh, Mario Rabbids. Good cause. Oh, that's a good one too. Yeah. I'll read the opening paragraph to set the tone. Looking for the best games on Nintendo Switch, what follows is a living list of the 25 Switch games.

We recommend everyone play or watch. watch in case you're new to the system or just looking for something new to play. Player watch, interesting. Yeah, player, I mean, a lot of people are watching YouTube video. Yeah, so that's interesting that they like specifically call that out. The Switch has been around almost eight years, has sold more than 150 million units. I still have a Google search of my computers as everyday carry. And both the vast software library encompassing first party Nintendo classics,

major games from big publishers, and a bewildering array of indie and digital titles. We're here to guide you through it. You'll find Mario and Zelda here, of course, plus many other Nintendo games, like all Nintendo consoles. The Switch has incredibly high proportion of must-play exclusives. You can't get anywhere else. But we've tried to include a few more left-field picks as well. Okay, let's see how left we get.

And then they go on to say the Switch also has a library of retro games available as part of Switch Online, including many all-time Nintendo Classics. We've listed our picks from this collection separately. Good. So those aren't in this. Okay. All right, let's hop into it. At number 25.

Oh, is this not? It's not ranked. Oh, no. It's not ranked. It's not ranked. It's a shit list. Oh, man. Hey, at the very least, we still have our Rolling Stone list.

But we can go through this one real quick to see what they say, I guess. So going through it, they start off with Animal Crossing New Horizons. Damn, it's $3 off. You see that less? Oh, $57. That's more than usually here from Nintendo. You got Blotro on here. You got Dredge.

Oh. Okay. You got Fire Emblem Three Houses. You got Hades. Hollow Knight. Kirby and the Forgotten Land. So far. Yeah, baby. You got Zelda Links Awakening, which we neglected to talk about. Nice. That's a good one.

You have Zelda Tears of the Kingdom. Up next, you have Luigi's Mansion 3. God, the switch kicks ass. I know. It's a really good machine. After that, you got Mario Kart 8 Deluxe. They don't need a new one. Metroid Dread

Look at that suit It's the best looking suit ever I think that's where art has peaked With Dredd That suit You have Metroid Prime Remastered Which to pause here

Right Like I think the expectations Change when we learn That is not right And also when they list The fucking Where you can buy the games After

But also really quick This is going in alphabetical order The one like big surprise here There's no breath of the wild Down here They had the balls They had the balls to do that Wait read

What is the write-up Read the blurb Let me see. Well, it's not necessary to play Breath of the Wild beforehand. Tears of the Kingdom expands upon the world

of the previous game. Literally, players can explore the sky region peppered with floating islands, the very terrain of the world service and the ominous underground world of the depths. Tears of the Kingdom is a technical marvel

and will likely be an easy recommendation for me to give for years to come. If you're new to adventure games on the scale of this adventure, or if the scale of this adventure don't see, don't let that scare you. It's well worth the leap.

Man, it not being a range. kind of absolves it of not having breath of loud in there a little bit. That's things I can't take it as seriously. That makes sense. I mean, Polygon, they don't put ratings, they don't put scores on their reviews either. They do like to recommend it. Yeah. I don't like this not being ranked. Yeah. This disappoints me. They have too much self-respect. It's Paul, it's it's your video game website. Put some rankings to this bitch. You know what I mean? Where'd I stop? Metroid Prime remastered. They just love rings. Bitches love rents on video games. You got Octopath Traveler 2 after that. Look at this screenshot.

Oh, dude, I thought this was the shark game that Mike loved. Same. Shark game. Well, you play as the shark. Shark, man eater, yeah, yeah. Picman 4. After that, you got Pokemon. Man, I really fucked up not playing Pygman 4.

It was just such a bad time for me. Like too many games out, but I love Pickman. Man Hunter? No, man eater. Man eater, yeah. I want to point out, Pokemon Sword and Shield is the only Pokemon game on the list. If it is alphabetically order is. Oh, nice.

We then got Splatoon 3. We get Star Dew Valley. You get Super Mario Brothers Wonder. I forgot about that one. You then get Super Mario Maker 2. You then get Super Mario Odyssey. You got Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Tetris 99.

Hell yeah. Unpacking. Okay. Zeno Blade Chronicles 3. And that is what ends the list. Okay. I'm a little let down with the little ranking. But it's like I like that they.

they made statements here. No putting Breath of the Wild. And obviously they're kind of the top here, right, of like, here are the games you should pick up now. Like, here are, you know, if you're trying to be relevant or if you're trying to play stuff right now, I like that they included obviously the big ones,

but then took moments to be like, hey, fucking play Dredge or, uh, what was the... Unpacking. Yeah, like unpacking and stuff. I think that's cool. Here's the thing. Yang fans says, nah, they're cowards. Here's the thing. From the editorial perspective, I actually do appreciate this for what Bear is talking about there.

Hey, this is a positive list. Let's give highlights to the best of the best. If somebody's picking up a Switch right now, one of the games that I would love for them to play, you should play Mario Odyssey. You should play Tears of the Kingdom, right? They're on your side of like, hey, if I'm telling somebody to pick up a Switch and they can play one Zelda, I'm just play Tears of the Kingdom. Play Dredge, play unpacking, you know, play these cool games.

But from my fucking consumer perspective, no, man, they're cowards. I'm with you, Yang fan. They're cowards. Man, let's see what good stuff they have to bring us. We're going to roll with the stones right after we roll some ads. Barrett Roll them. This episode is brought to you by Monster Hunter Now. Whether I'm taking Ben to the playground,

Happy hunting. Chat, people watching, listening, during the ad break, there was a crazy revelation that just happened. John Favreau was in charge of making a shared Star Wars universe by Disney, and now he'll do the same for Mickey Mouse. Starting with a big budget Oswald, the Lucky Rabbit Animation slash Live Action Hybrid Show for Disney Plus, Then from there, Epic Mickey, Kingdom Hearts, Magic Kingdom, and More.

Wait, Epic Mickey and Kim Hearts are two different things, right? Yes, this is from My Time to Shine Hello, who's a popular entertainment leaker. Okay. So we're giving a Kingdom Hearts. Something. Something. That's kind of crazy. That's kind of crazy, y'all.

This is kind of crazy. And Epic Mickey. I feel like you're, I feel like. I'm in, dude. I guess you can distinguish them. Doing Star Wars stuff, though? I'm sure he'll do that. Yeah.

Is that he? I think it's him and Faloni doing the Mandalorian and Groga movie. Zachalag in chat says what I said at first during the brig when Tim brought it up of like shared universe. Like what does that mean? What is a Mickey Mouse shared

universe? That's just a universe. There's nothing shared about that. But I mean, Brinand Keatom Hearts kind of does turn it into a shared universe a little bit if I'm getting fucking Final Fantasy I need proper reporting on this. I'm not seeing this anywhere. Yeah, no, this is definitely this is like pre-official but that's, Andy, you here.

hear the news. Well, it's not news yet, but it's leaks. John Fabro. John Fabro is going to be in charge of a Mickey Mouse shared universe, including Epic Mickey and Kingdom Hearts. Oh. Whoa. Yeah.

Yeah. Let's see how this goes. I'm excited. Like film, like film. We don't know yet. Could be a Disney Plus show. What's going on with that one Fortnite Disney crossover thing? They're working on it.

They're trying to figure out how to put Shaq in it. What even is it? I mean, listen, you're going to have the Disney World. You're going to have the Marvel world. You're going to have the ESPN world. You go there. All right. What's the name of the bald dude?

Scott Van Belt? Barclay, Charles Barkley. You're going to hang out with Charles Barkley. Okay. It'll happen. Let me tell you something, Bernie. That's my Charles Barkley. Wow.

Is that how he sounds? Oh, yeah. Yeah. I got to listen to more Charles. Maybe. Is that how Charles Barkley? Let me tell you some Bernie. Let me tell you.

Let me tell you. Yeah. That's how it is. We got some super chats in here real quick. The Uncharted Wolf writes in and says, just wanted to shout out Pickman 4, my favorite entry in one of my favorite franchises. Bald dude equals Charles Barkley.

He's very bald. He's super bald, yeah. He's super duper bald. You know what is? Bald fraud. Sorry, this is a crazy insult. How did Cian Punk come up? with that.

You know what they used to call him his nickname? What's that? The round bound or rebound. Whoa. Wow. Because he was always the short, like he was always the shortest amongst the big men. A big man, you know, centers in the ABA are like 611, 7, whatever. He was like, I don't know, I think he's like six, seven or something like that,

but he's just always been, his ass is like just, he's got a fat ass, you know. Yeah, he just boxes people out, uses his body, round out and rebound. Yeah, always the shortest, always getting the most rebounds. Hall of Famer. Just like me. Never want a ring. Chrono Rig writes in and says, hey guys, what's your favorite switch gen memory? Mine will always be the Mario movie reaction and the Sora reaction.

I watched your guys' reaction to those so many times and Xenoblade series. Real talk. I rewatched those reactions so often as well. Being blessed losing our minds to Sora is like one of my favorite kind of funny moments, but the Mario casting reveal were one by one. They were just putting characters out and they just kept getting more and more insane. Like Charlie Day has Luigi. And you're like, what?

Black as Pouser. Amazing stuff. God. I also enjoy the early Pokemon present streams that we would do from home where we would actually get up at 6 in the morning. Yeah. Because we would just be fucking loopy. I'm a Smash Bros. so much.

Like when we're in Smash Bros. season, and any trailer could be a Smash Bros. trailer. You know, we start off a persona trailer. All of a sudden, Joker's in Smash. And it's like, what the fuck is happening? You see that little icons spin around? Like, oh, yeah. So good. And then one more from Bogan Knight, 7, who said, birthday tax love all you guys do

happy birthday we're gonna hop into the rolling stone list right in with your superchats as far as what your picks would be for the top 20 best switch games if there's anything missing from the list let us know and we'll talk about it but now we get into the main event it sucks because I pitted this as list versus list

yeah but like we already have a loser the using thing if Rolling Stone because what I'll say about the Polygon list is that for what they did it is a good list it's a great list honestly can't even be mad about it can't I can't even be be mad about it. It is a thumbs up. I will say it is the shit despite it not being ranked.

But as long as Rolling Stone gets it right, they're going to win this. Just don't fuck it up. I think let's let go of the List versus List thing, right? Because they're ultimately trying to accomplish two very different things, so I think it's hard to actually put them against each other.

That's fair. I think back at the Polygon thing as a nice little appetizer and then let's actually let's just think about Rolling Stone. What if Rolling Stones isn't ranked? What if Rolling Stone is? Like, that'd be fucking crazy. That'd be the worst thing that.

The way I'll go on goal, I was like, a double-dube best switch list. Like, if they just say, here's 25 games you should buy. And they have, like, fucking Madden. Because, for the record, we've done so many shitlists. It's the first time I've done a shit list where it's not ranked. Yeah. I have looked ahead. It is ranked.

Just so you don't have to, you know, be devastated when we get there. I mean, let's get in, dude. Let's get in. Rolling Stone. These are the best 20 Nintendo Switch games of all time, starting with actually before I even started let me read the blurb it's been eight long years it's been eight long years since the Nintendo Switch launched in March 2017 it's just the fact that riders love doing the same thing you get unique it started off me like hey Reggie

fees may square up you know say something new the gaming landscape they took all the sauce with him the gaming landscape not to mention the world itself is a very different place released mid-generation while its competitors like the PS4 and Xbox one were midway through their cycle, it initially felt like a footnote. Why was Nintendo releasing a handheld device in a high-definition era where there's a smartphone in everyone's pocket? Didn't its particular brand of family-friendly gaming seem like a thing of the past? And it could have flopped, spelling the end of Nintendo.

After the disastrous launch, it was predecessor of the Wii U, a device whose intention was as muddied as its name. Many were critical about the prospect of a new Nintendo console. Even if it sold well, how did the company that once led the pack as a Trailblazer fit into the next, into the then ecosystem. Even after the mountain of money they made

with the original Wii, it seemed like their best days were behind them. Actually, they're kind of in their bag right here. If all feels quaint now, looking back over the course of one of the longest console generations ever, and record-breaking sales, it was almost foolish to think that it couldn't be done. I'm going to skip forward

because I want to see where they start talking about. With that, Rolling Stone is ranking the best games for the Nintendo Switch. And while there's an embarrassment of riches to come or to choose from, we've opted to stick solely to games that were exclusively available on the Nintendo Switch. Wow. Meaning no cross-platform releases like Fortnite or indie games. Wow. Or old. That also found their footing on PC. There's also almost no re-release, remakes, or remasters. Because while everyone loves an older game, the true test of a console clout is what new things it brings to the table.

each shit and Roger. So no Mario Kart. No more. Yeah, I guess that means No Mario Kart. Smash Brothers is debatable. What do you mean? No Breath of the Wild.

Breath of the Wild launched on Wii U. I think they mean just like re-release, right? Yeah. It says, and while there's an embarrassment of riches and shoes for them, we've opted to stick solely to games that were exclusively available for the Nintendo Switch.

I bet they get that wrong. I bet they got that wrong. The way they worded it there is weird because then they give examples like cross-platform, but I don't know to word it that way is weird The Wii was

it was only regionally available in the Midwest Breath of Wild Breath of Wild you get like a hall you get a hall pass like no no

who played that game on WiiU who played that game on WiiU who played any game on WiiU blessing yeah but like besides me all the other examples

are re-releases like our remasters Breath of Wild is like the one game though was the cross launch it launched on the switch it did that would be my argument

for putting it in the list but it's not exclusive to Switch it'll be on the list they're going to get it wrong give it the hall pass is what I'm saying um all right let's hop into it at number 20

Luigi's Mansion 3 makes sense solid solid lower than I would expect honestly definitely lower I thought this would have been a top maybe 13er yeah well clearly 13 is going to be Super Mario Maker 2

ah correct I mean it would be a 20 I'm glad you remember then like if not Luigi's Mansion 3 what fits at number 20 I just well I just feel like when everybody talks about but Louise's Manchin 3, they just say, like, this is the best one of all of them.

And now I'm just wondering how the hell do they fill in the rest of this list with games that aren't, that aren't like cross-platform, you know? My thing is to the, this is the best of all of them. We say that about everything on the Switch. That is true. But I don't know that there's 19 other examples that I'm going to agree with are better than Luigi's Manchin 3. But we'll see. I like setting that. I like saying that.

All right. That's the bar you had to cross over. At number 19, you got Pokemon Legends R.C. All right, they did it Okay Will this be the final Pokemon on the list? I don't think so

That's fucking crazy I think it has to What Pokemon's sword then? I think it's gonna be Scarlet Bilelyleynne. It can't be crazy You can't put Scarlet Because here's the thing

If I'm making the list Yeah I'm putting Scarlet on there But Rolling Stone can't You know Rolling Stone is not me The individual Yeah I oh my gosh Yeah I think it can only be

Sword and Shield If it's anything else I'm gonna like this studio on fire. Yeah. All right. That's number 19. People really didn't fuck

with Sword and Shield though for a lot of reasons. But Pokemon Scarlet and Violet? I hate an S haters, dude. Like, here's the thing, because I'm kind of whipped that on Pokemon Sword and Shield.

It wasn't my favorite Pokemon. Scarlet Violet broke the camel's back. That was the straw and violet. This thing is like, if I'm making the argument of Sword and Shield versus Scarlin and Violet,

listen, I had more fun in Scarlet and Violet. I'd enjoy it better. In fact, I would even argue, better game the Sword and Shield. But the blemishes are so apparent and so like, ah, you know what I mean? Yeah.

It's the one that caused everybody to go, what are we doing? Yeah. It's like if I went... Because games always looked subpar, obviously, lower-powered machine. You expect that. But this was the one that was like the most egregious of all of them. Can I ask you guys a question? Do you like square pie guys more than Domino's?

Yes. Yeah. I also like square pie guys more than Domino's. The reason I ask, right, is... If I gave you two plates, one of them was the Domino's pizza, and the other was Square Pie Guys. But... Thin' crust pizza hut. But I fucking mushed up the Square Pie Guys pizza.

Fucking, like, I mixed that shit up. I fucking, like, you know, it's a messy-ass square pie guys pizza. I fucking... You put some pineapple on it. Maybe I didn't go that far. I didn't go that far. But I gave you a messy-ass plate of Square Pie Guys, and I fucking mush that shit up. Square Pie guys, all the ingredients are still there.

I'm taking the Domino's, though. That's a crazy comparison. I might still eat the Square Pie Guys. That's what Scarlet and Violet is. Scarlet and Violet is square pie guys, but it's all fucking mushed up. Yeah. And it's all fucking, where there's sword and shield. You ran over it.

You left it in your trunk. Sword and shield is the dominoes where it's like, all right, square pie guys is better. But like, it's a lesser product, but it's more consistently good. Yes. If I show you that fucking mushed up square pie guys, you'd be like, what the fuck is this? I want that garlic crust. I promise you, though, it's going to be fired, though. Just eat it.

Just eat it. I love to him's good. It's just like. That's a great comparison. When you brought up the square of pie guys and dominoes, I was like, where is you going to go with this? I didn't expect it to end where it did. I'm into it, though.

Thank you. Listen, metaphor is my new thing in 2025. I'm trying to make more metaphors. You're intending your puns and metaphors. I'm trying to do more metaphors, you know, paint a picture. Re fantastic.

At number 18, we got Kirby in the Forgotten Land. No, fucking called it. A farce. Kirby and the Forgadenland. A farce. This list is unjust.

Unjust. I think. The last hour of that game, top 10 moment on the Switch 2. I think the rest of that game. Don't say, Barrett. We don't care what you think, Barrett. It's fun.

We don't care. It's fun. God damn, goddamn Rolling Stones, they're fucking washed. We know that, okay? What's it? Beals are always better. I just got to see what's above.

Picture of Mick Jagger writing this fucking article. So far, I'm not mad at, like, the escalation era of Luigi's Mansion 3 at number 20, Pokemon RCS at 19, Kirby and the Forgotten Land at 18. We better have fucking bangers. Yeah, this is way too low. Now it's like, all right, you better keep coming with the bangers

because you're setting the bar real high here. I know Tim said that he wished it was top 10. I think maybe that was pushing a little bit too much, but I agree. I see like a 12 or a 13. Me too. I think 18 is. That is the honest truth of like,

if we're talking globally, not just personally. I'm in the right. I'm in the same Tim mental state right now. Like this rest of this list better be gas. And number 17. We got B'aneta 3. So far, I... I never played it.

Baino 3 is good, but like, I don't think that it's the standout in any way. I would put Bainetta 3 under the rest of the game so far, personally. Really? Yeah, it belongs in the list, but... Man, we are sure as fuck not getting Astral Chain. Yeah, you're right. Yeah, you're right. Not even a chance.

Man, we have to get more love to Astrochain. We got to, like, we got to carve out a day during the year. We just call Astral Chain Day. I kind of like... Okay. Yeah. Like, July 13th or some shit, right? Astro Chain Day.

It is a day where we celebrate Astro Chain. We acknowledge Astro Chain. We say, hey, everybody, that was a good ass game on the Switch. And then July 14th, we don't have to think about it anymore. Because everybody keeps forgetting about Astro Chain. We have to remind them. It's our duty, our civic duty. At number 16, we got Super Mario Maker 2.

Okay. Off by three spots. Hey, you, oh, yeah, yeah, yeah. Not bad. I'm not mad at this. Yeah. Well, it makes sense. Mario Mega 2 is awesome, though.

Like, really freaking awesome. It's so good. And it has like, how many original Nintendo levels to? In Mario Maker 2? Yeah. 100. Oh, that's right. Yeah.

And they're fucking awesome. They're great, yeah. And that's just like the Nintendo shit. Yeah. And the fan shit is really good too. I played a whole campaign of like a fan-made Super Mario World 2 thing, right? I remember we talked about that a few years ago. Mario Brothers 5.

Is that what they called it? By Metroid 64 on Twitter. Yeah. Yeah. And I loved it. Like, it had such a good time. So good. And number 15.

We got. Pickman 4. Damn, this is lower than I thought. Wow. I mean, again, the Switch does have some of the best games of all time. So, like, it does make sense that when we're getting now to the top 15, sure. But I'm very, the number 10 to 15 spots, I think, are the most interesting to me. I thought this would have been a top 10ner only because I feel like it's that sort of understated sexy pick that you make to show off that you know ball.

Yeah. You know. Like, you say, I love Pickman 4. And everybody goes, that's a statement. real ones go like, oh, yeah, that dude knows. Tattooed knows, Lakers had. And number 14, we got Monster Hunter Rise. Oh, okay. Would not see this coming.

Yeah, this is one that launched on the Switch exclusively. It came to other platforms later, but I think this fits within the parameters that they said. Yeah, I totally forgot about this. I thought about it, but I was, yeah, it was one that I wasn't sure about. But I think it does make sense. And number 13, we got. Holy shit. He got Astochane, baby.

Oh, my God. Astro chain number 13. You should enjoy from us. Yo, July 13th game early. July 13th came early. March 6th is actual chain day now. You're right. You're right.

We're right. We're right. We're right. March 6th, baby. Holy shit. Asthmaic chain day. I was not expecting this. This is a rush.

I feel electric right now. Like something went through my body. I think that's the biggest reaction. We've gotten out of Rory Xcon it in like maybe three years. For a number 13 pick, my year. I know, I know. That's high as hell for Astral Chain. That's awesome.

Yeah. Gang fam says Rolling Stone is the goat now. That's what I'm saying. I'm just like Rolling Stone, I think the last Rolling Stone list we did was really good too. This is great. Oh, man. I feel amazing right now.

Yeah. I need a cigarette. The rest of my day is going to be fantastic. Number 12, we got Super Mario Brothers Wonder. Okay. I like this. I am a firm believer that Mario Wonder is not a top 10 Switch game. I totally agree to you.

But I still love it. And number 12, I respect. I respect it to you. I think I would have to make my own list before I would be able to say if I consider it top 10, but I love Mario Wonder. It's just astonishing to play that game and go like, man, this is running on this piece of shit, huh? Yeah. Because it looks so good. I got to be real.

I'm overhaden. Mario Wonder's the top 10. It's low on the top 10. That's what I'm saying. That's what I'm saying. It's like right there. Yeah. Yeah.

Yeah. And number 11. We got Fire emblem three houses. Wow. Lower than I thought. Yeah, a little lower than I would have thought to. I would have guessed six. God, what's this 10?

Right, yeah, we're to the top 10. What do we have left? I mean, Zelda's. Zelda's, Metro Dread, Mario Odyssey, Smash Brothers. Sword and Shield and Violet. Those are all four. We just listed a lot of games. I guess this makes sense so far, but I feel like there's a few.

Animal Crossing. Yeah. Maybe both. Crossing. Animal Crossing. Yeah. Okay, no, this is making sense. as we go. And number 10, we got

Xenoblade Chronicles 3. There you go. All right. I agree. This is a fantastic list of actual chains on it. And number nine, we got. Splatoon 3. We forgot about Splatoon. Platoon 3. Top tenor. All right, stop. Yeah. Can we name me the 8? I like this. All right. I'm in the dock now.

All right? Breath of the Wild. The O.T. Dubbs. Tears. Tears of the kingdom. Okay. Odyssey. Odyssey. Mario Odyssey.

That's three. Metroid Dred. Dred, yep. There's got to be a Mario party in here. Oh, yeah, you're right. Like, as much as I don't agree with that game, any of those games kind of being over, just personal preference. Like, I feel like representation. But I don't think top eight, though, right?

I feel like that would have been like a 16. Damn, I mean, the fact that it's not even on a top 20 is crazy. I'm adding Animal Crossing, right? So that's five right there. Mario Kart? Yes. But again, like, if it's exclusive to switch, I know. Yeah.

Mario Kart and Smash Brothers, I think, are going to be weird ones that I could see them putting on the list, even though it goes against their shit. Why wouldn't Smash Brothers be you? Because that was Wii. Yeah, I mean, I guess it is so weird. It's just like such a similar game. It's a remaster, re-release of Super Smash Brothers. Yeah. Wait, Super Smash Bros. is Ultimate?

I mean, it's very similar. There's a lot of differences, but. Yeah. when that game came out, it was never, it was always meant to be like the Mario Card 8 deluxe of the Mario Card 8. Yeah, I do not. Chad is yelling and very angrily at me that I am wrong. Yeah, no, I do not see it at that as that at all.

I looked at that as like a full nude entry. I always thought of it as like, you have a world of light in there. It's more like a greatest hits thing. Yeah, that's what I always thought of it. There is so much new shit in it, but that's just like Nintendo breaks the fucking rules. It's not a remaster. It's not a re-leg or whatever, but it's also. It's the least new smash entry there.

we've had compared to the other Smashes. I guess, yeah. But I still, I think it counts there. I always assumed it was a remaster or re-release type of thing, but I guess I'm a fucking idiot. Fucking fool. Yeah, Smash Bros. Ultimate for sure is going to be on the list. How many do we have right now? 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6.

So we have two more... Do we say Metroid? Or have we seen Metroid? No, we said it. Never mind. That's part of it. There is a chance. Dred's not on this list, which would make me very sad. I mean, could they have the other Zeno Bladed game? Zendlid Chronicles 2? I don't think so.

I think three's their statement here of like... Yeah, that's the representative. Yeah. We've seen Luigi's Mansion 3. We've seen Pikmin 4. I mean... Tetris 99. I can see them doing it. I mean, looking at the 6th that we have, Breath of the Wild 2 is the Kingdom,

Odyssey, uh, Metroid Dred, Animal Crossing, Smash Brothers Ultimate. I could see a Mario Party. Link's Awakening. I know they said not like, like, switch it. But I feel like that's not a rear. that's like a remake i don't know what they even said no remakes though they said remake yeah that's kind of whack because i feel like links awakening should count i agree but i don't think it's gonna be there i think it's tetrus ninety nine's last one

tim's saying tetras 99 i mean that still leaves room for one more i'm gonna say maria party i think a mario party for sure um new denpamen yes new dempomen you can't forget about the denpamen i mean are we forgetting any like non nintendo made exclusives yeah cadence of high rule. No. No.

That, like, I could see it being at a top 20, not this high. Was there any of those, like, smash indie games that came out exclusively on Switch first? Like a Holo Night or Celeste or Dead Cells or any of those? Do we get a special Mario and Rabbids?

Oh. Mario and Rabbits. That's a good poll. That wasn't on the other list either. Yeah, you're right. Disappointed. I don't think Mario plus Rabbids is this high. I fucking love the first one

See Mario and Rabb is I put in that Mario Party like tier of It's really good It's good Like it's I think a lot of people Like that game enough to where I could see Somebody having it on the top ten I don't think a Mario Party makes the top ten

I think whatever the rest of this list is Warrior all of the Nintendo executives Need to look at both of these lists and go Damn we are really really not pulling our weight On the sports side of things Like Yeah We have put out a lot of like snoozers

No. Really? Yeah, I don't think so. It's not top ten. But I think just having Zelda in the title. I don't know if you can have that many Zelda's in there in a top of eight. In a Nintendo top eight? I think you can't.

I think you can. Echoes does not. But I think not having Link's Awakening would mean you have to put Echoes of Wisdom there. I think that secretly ends up being like the Link's Awakening spot. I don't know. When we're talking top 10, dude, Link's Awakening is such an 8 out of 10 game. And I feel like top 10 Switch games, you need your. You're looking at them nines, man.

Yeah. What about, I mean, people in Chad have been saying an Octopath. I can see it. Yeah. Live a live on there. Do it for me. Put live a live on that. She's got a re-release.

Oh, yeah, you're right. It is a remake. Let's get into it. It's like a Super Nintendo remake. All right, let's get into it. At number. One, two, switch. Of course.

I was going to say like, you moved. You moved. You moved. I was going to say Nintendo Switch sports, but, come on, let's be real. Number eight, we got. Mario Cardi... What the fuck?

Rolling Stone. Rolling Stone. Breaking your rules. Breaking your own rules. I think they must mean in that description exclusive to Nintendo, not exclusive to Switch. Look, they're even here,

like, calling themselves out. Well, it may not be a new game. Technically a re-release of a 2014 entry. Yeah, like, a dog. Like, this is the most egregious of all of the things that we've been questioning. So, okay, so... The Breath of the Walls on the list for sure.

Yeah. Then you have... have to put Metroid Prime remastered. We'll see. I feel like Marikardi Deluxe is like one of those where you give it a special hall pass. It did over the years slowly gain an entire new game. I mean, I think even just like the way the items work is different enough that it's not

just a port, but it is. Also, added a word to the old title. Did the wheat you have 200? 200. Oh, 200 CC? I don't believe so. Yes, it did. Oh, did?

Yeah. I remember we did a let's play of it and that must have been before the switch. Yeah. Okay. All right. Well, I guess I feel like that answers a lot of our questions here then of what the rest of this list is going to be.

But let's continue you through. I think Metro Primary Master is on the list. At number seven, we got Animal Crossing New Horizons. I would have thought top five. Yeah, I would have thought top five for sure. And number six, we got

the Legend of Zelda. Tears of the Kingdom. A crime. Cowards. Cours. A crime. Because Breath of the Wild is going to be number one, bitches.

Yeah. That is that. That's the cowardly fucking thing to do. I think that's a good call. Because it's the Nick Scarpeno Iron Man argument. Man. Oh man. Breath of the Wall was special, man.

Yeah, tears of the kingdom was better. God, number six. They just want to separate them out. They don't want to be the whole one and two. That's thing is like, they're like,

oh, we can't do two zelvids at one and two. So let's make some space. Don't just do it. Just do it. You don't mind. You don't mind. We don't mind. I'll respect you more.

And number five, we have Smash Brothers Ultimate. Okay. Fuck yeah. Honestly? Makes total sense. Makes total sense. I was going to say put it out of top three, but I guess the top three is so competitive. It's so competitive.

But if Tears isn't there? Yeah, you're right. Breath, Odyssey. Dread? No. No. Dread? No shot.

Dread should be up here. I mean. No. I mean. Dread's good, but no. I mean, Dred's not top 15 good. Oh, yes, it is. No, I disagree.

That's insane, Andy. No shot. That's insane take. No shot. I got it in, I might have it in the top 15, but like, not top 10, I don't think. It's just like, I haven't that 10 to 15 spot. Dred is like a good Metroidvania if you haven't played all the other good Metroidvania's. And then you play all the other good ones and you're like, oh, shit, yeah.

No. Yeah. No, no, no. Truly and honestly. Andy throwing down the gauntlet here. At number four, we got. Oh. Hedrus 99.

I fucking respect the fuck out of that. Hell yeah. Let's go. That's massive. Number four. And number four. Man. I mean,

hey, again, we always like giving them credit for making statements. This is a statement. This is a good statement. Yeah. It's a good look. And number three,

we got Super Mario Odyssey. Whoa. Wait, is Dread top two? What? No. It's Dred number two? Yeah, there will be no way.

This will, what is number two? This will remove any actual chain hype I had prior If Dredd is number two I mean Dread has to be number two then No way dude I respect this list No way

Number two is too high for Dren I mean I agree but I got respect Over Odyssey and even Maybe even Tetris 99 But here's the thing is that like They allowed somebody's taste to like Come through in this list This is this doesn't feel like a list

By committee at this point Somebody made an argument What if it's not dread and what if it's number one? What if it's like, don't do that? There's no Mario Party game in here. What if it is a Mario Party? No Party belongs on this list. Yeah, no.

In the top 20? I don't think that any of them are good. I don't think any of them are standout Mario parties enough to be on that. Top 25. I would put it over Splatoon 3. Yeah, like I love Sputon. I don't think anyone else would. I don't think that that's like a popular consensus.

Let's see. What's number two, man? I'm getting Nancy. And number two, we got Metroid. No way. No way. No way. Play a Metroidvania.

Yeah. This one, because it's fucking, it's so good. And okay. It's not okay. That's not a top two switch game. It's not top two. It's not okay. But you said, you even saying it earlier that it's digging it.

He's digging it. I'm digging it. I think it's in my personal taste. I do agree with Andy. But I just, have such respect for somebody who's like, oh, I love Metro Dread so much, I'm putting above Mario Odyssey. I respect for it. The game kicks ass.

It's awesome. I got respect. But like, goddamn, what are we doing? Over Odyssey, man. Over tears of the kingdom, man. That I agree with. I just, I wanted it here just to make Andy upset because he said it doesn't even belong in top 15, which is an insane take.

Dread rocks, it's just, it's like a good game. And like, that to me, that's what it was. The experience that I'm like real good. They were. Speed running that game. Fucking kicked ass. And then you play any other game, you're like,

oh, man, this does everything better. No, that is so not crazy. Yes, it is. Oh, my God, yes. Every Metro, what did Dred do that is like so much better than other Metroidbanians? I mean, just the art style alone is so freaking sick. We don't get ones that look that. They zoom in and she looks like shit.

Fucking textures are all shit. Play that game. Fucking. I mean, the textures did look shit. When you're far away, cool. Yeah. And then you get zoomed in. It's like,

God damn. Yeah, it wasn't built for... Is there a light source in here anywhere? Are we casting a shadow anywhere? But dude, think about like the first time you get... Top two is crazy.

It's crazy. Think about the first time you get chased by one of them robots and then you fucking figure out how to take out those robots that you thought that you're just going to have to run away from through the entire game. So sad.

Dude. And then you do coolest shit in other Metroidvania's. I love shitless, man. This is crazy. Space vibes. Really? all that needs to happen is both of our opinions needs to meet in the middle and it would be a

totally rational person. Yes. All right. And for number one, come on, put our ones in the air. Breath of the wild. We did it. It shouldn't be number one. Put it number one. It came out with the switch. Yeah. It made that launch day feel so special experience and an experience that I've never, unlike anything else that I've had in my life, playing this game

for the first time, walking out that cave. All I had was stick and stone. That's all I had to break your bone. You mean, Mario 1, the first time I played that changed everything, but then I played Mario 3. No. And it was so much better. It's more so of a Mario 3 versus Mario World situation for this one for me. That is true. That is, that is, yeah, Mario World is so much better than three.

Nah. I mean, soundtrack, I'll give you soundtrack. Art style. I'll give you our, I'll give you our stuff. The world's art style. Like level design, Mario 3. Come on. Come on.

Come on. A little variety. Top two. Top two. So we're at the end of this. I think it is kind of, to a embarrass point, I think it is kind of impossible

to compare this to the other list. So let's do our regular rating system, which is, fellas, do you think this list was the shit? Or do you think this list was shit? It has asshole chain. I mean, yeah, this shit. It's got asshole chain, man.

And at Tetris 99, like I feel like I don't agree with all the placement, but I think that overall the games on the list, like it's a solid top 20. I would feel less annoyed with the Mario Kart thing if they didn't stay at the start what their... Oh, Mario Kart was a regent.

If they were just like... If they just switched the word to Nintendo exclusive and like not Switch exclusive, I could see it. I would have been totally fine with that. Yeah. I think Mario Kart thing felt like such a, hey, we're giving this a hall pass, which I understand, like, yet, but... But also they said this exact thing. Listen, they made us look like fools. They did.

In the guessing section, you know? Yeah, but they put ashtrain there, so... That rocked. That was fucking awesome. God, the switch kicks so much. It's going to get so much better, too. It's fucking eight years old. It turned eight years old just a couple of days ago.

I think about that. We're going to get out of here, but first I'm going to shout out some super chats like this one from Mad Rocks. It says, oh, look at me. I'm Andy. I love blasphemous because it reminds me of the Bloodborne remake we'll never get. Blasphemus is so much better than Metroid Dredd. It's unbelievable. Oh, shut up. Blasmus 2 is so much better than Metroid Dread.

Devin N writes in it says, more Fire Emblem, Three Houses, Love, in my top three. Now, Ender Magnolia, Bloom in the Miss? Not better than Metroid but still good. But still good. That was a poll right there. I'm playing it still. I'm not done with it. Christopher Burnett writes in and says, I wish I had more space to talk about it because I learned

some cool fun stuff. Oh, wait, this is a part two to a first super chat. I'm going to read your first super chat first. Sorry. He says, I'm a little behind on KF episodes. I just watched an episode where you talked about Matrix video games. I wrote a 90-page thesis on those films and interviewed the directors. I wish I had more space to talk about it because I learned some cool

fun stories about why they weren't more why there weren't more Matrix video games I mean Chris slide into my DMs and just tell me why well what happened to the Matrix video games because I am curious just look at all my accounts and figure out which ones are open I'm not going to tell you which because then everybody will know
