By the Nintendo Fans of IGN
Good news everyone! It is this time of year: spring. But also, it's time for the CNV team to sit down, discuss and determine which games are part of our list of the top 25 Nintendo Switch switches for spring 2019. Twice a year, we pile up in a room and discuss the games that should be. added, removed or moved from our list so that you, the reader, can enjoy the best of what the Nintendo Switch has to offer. These are our recommendations based on what we played, how much we enjoyed, or whether or not it's a better experience elsewhere. We will take a look:
25. Guacamelee 2
New in our list of the 25 best!
Dozens, if not hundreds of Metroidvanias have found a home on Nintendo Switch, but none of us is as vibrant and unique as the Guacamelee series of Drinkbox Studios. Through a series of platform mechanisms, sequences of lawless beats and bizarre and hilarious boss fights, you will navigate your character (which can range from a furry and furry Lucha Libre fighter to a frantic screaming chicken) going through a huge set of interconnected labyrinths. You'll discover new skills and ongoing improvements to help you win battles, access new domains and even tag friends in multiplayer mode. It's a familiar kind with an excellent new coat of paint and there's really nothing else.
24. Puyo Puyo Tetris
Down two places from our list of fall 2018.
Perfect marriage of two excellent and timeless puzzles, Puyo Puyo Tetris is a feature-rich collection worthy of being installed on every switch. In 1989, no GameBoy was complete without Tetris and the same feeling remains with the modern Nintendo handheld.
From our review: The Puyo Puyo Tetris, beautifully presented, has a ton of content, a really fun multiplayer mode with lots of variations, and is very easy to play and play with just about anybody despite the little ones balance problems. The Nintendo Switch is also an excellent platform for her, with its non-threatening portability and Joy-Con controllers.
23. The craft world of Yoshi
New in our list of the 25 best!
Yoshi's Crafted World is a pretty original Nintendo platformer, but that does not mean it's not a pleasure to play. It's charming and creative, it changes the mechanics and obstacles in front of you on almost every level. This time, Yoshi can also wear over 170 adorable costumes, ranging from pirate trains and boats to garbage cans and coffins.
Our Review: Yoshi's Crafted World is an engaging and charming platform game that is definitely worth playing, but it misses an obvious opportunity to be more than that by not taking full advantage of its smarter ideas.
22. Captain Toad's treasure tracker
Down a place from our fall 2018 list.
Some people say that there are too many Wii U ports for Switch. These people have never played Captain Toad's Treasure Tracker. This phenomenal fallout is charming, stimulating and downright cute on any platform at any time. I mean, look at his little jacket!
According to our review: Treasure Tracker still seems almost unique and is gaining new life on both of Nintendo's current systems. Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker is a rare example of a game that really feels better after a few years. Always as smart, prettier than ever and, in retrospect, really important in Nintendo's modern history.
21. Warframe
New in our list of the 25 best!
Warframe finally arrived at Switch end 2018 and I could not be happier. It's an often overlooked cooperative action game that can be quickly summed up as "space ninjas," but it has undoubtedly grown beyond this nickname over the years. You can rush into space ships at breakneck speed, crush and shoot down enemies with dozens of different weapons, fly over and explore vast areas of the open world, and more recently even follow a surprisingly captivating story from the beginning of Warframe. .
Our review: Warframe is not an easy game of approach, but it is a game with which it is worth to get acquainted. It's a game that keeps growing at a developer passionate about working with his community. It's also amazing to play, with a satisfying kill-collector-craft loop that relies on a mountain of player choices and a wonderfully responsive motion mechanics.
20. Fortnite
Down eight places from our list of autumn 2018.
Fortnite Air sends 100 players to a giant, chaotic battlefield where you hit each other with cartoon hammers, drive golf carts, shoot rockets and build forts, of course. As the card decreases, your chances of survival increase until one player is the last to stay. It's addictive, incredibly fun and totally free, until you decide to spend a bunch of V-Bucks on backpacks and wacky costumes, that's it.
From our review: Mastering the many Fortnite Battle Royale systems is worth every second of investment. Whether you're on your own or queuing with a team, even if you're the first to die or you can win the Victory Royale, Fortnite's wacky style and unique blend of fire and construction make it easy for you. almost never offers anything less than an exceptional time. .
19. Dark Souls Remastered
New in our list of the 25 best!
Nothing will prepare you for your first FromSoftware game. The anguish of repeated defeats and the triumphant ecstasy of beating a boss on which you've been stuck for hours are the hallmarks of the Dark Souls franchise, and you can now face that emotional roller coaster on the road … If you feel like starting your Switch by frustration. Yes, these games are hard like hell, but the construction of the world and the sense of accomplishment are unmatched. The improvements in frame rate and the incredible Artorias of the Abyss DLC make it the definitive version of this exhausting classic.
From our review: Dark Souls Remastered is a technically better version of an already outstanding game. If the Switch version sometimes lacks some high-end features available on other platforms, it does not present a less pristine version of the original and adds significantly the captivating dimension and exciting to explore Lordran on a portable device.
18. hollow knight
No change! Always very good.
Hollow Knight can be incredibly demanding, but you get a lot more in return than what you put in it. The Hallownest Kingdom, designed by experts, represents an absurd number of paths to explore, leaders to fight and secrets to discover. All this is drawn in a dark but expressive artistic style that gives adorable insects who live their lives and tell their stories.
From our review: Hollow Knight is a Metroidvania with a bunch of content to discover as deep as its labyrinthine caves. The world of Hallownest is fascinating and rich, rich in history that you still have to discover for yourself, and built with branched paths that offer an absurd amount of choice in the way to discover it.
17. Pokemon Let Go!
New in our list of the 25 best!
The return to Kanto in Pokemon's Let's Go Pikachu and Let's Go Eevee turns out to be a charming little nostalgic trip, dressed in new mechanics, fresh graphics and adorable partners. You must always catch them in this fun and playful RPG adventure, but this time you have the opportunity to actively avoid these plentiful troglodyte Zubat.
From our review: Back to Kanto in Pokemon: Let's go, Pikachu! or Evoli! The Pokemon Go capture system is a more relaxing way to fill the Pokedex and look for experience, and I have never felt more confident. as if I missed battles because of that. Kanto is littered with charismatic coaches ready to fight.
16. Wargroove
New in our list of the 25 best!
Wargroove is a top-notch tactical game with great pixel art graphics. It offers what Advance Wars fans have been looking for for a century in a medieval package. However, he still manages to stand out with tons of gameplay changes and stylistic choices. Positioning is important in Wargroove, and its brilliant campaign will certainly test your ability to set up Crits and move with care thanks to a pretty competent AI. But more than what already exists, Wargroove shines so brightly thanks to what is yet to come. It has a very easy-to-use level and campaign editor and can create just about any map, story (with custom cutscenes) or scenarios imaginable.
According to our review: Wargroove is the successor of Advance Wars that its long-neglected fans have been waiting for. It faithfully revives the tactics for which I loved this series while putting a lot of his side into the concept. When you add extra modes, loads to unlock, and an amazing level editor, it's a game that excites me to continue playing well beyond his campaign.
15. Monster Hunter Ultimate Generations
Down four places from our list of fall 2018.
The Nintendo Switch provides the best of both * worlds * with Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate. You can play using a comfortable Pro controller, but you can also kill his more than 100 monsters in person with friends. In addition to the ridiculous amount of packaged content, you can also play as an adorable alpacas for cats and pets.
Our review: Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate brings together the majority of the monsters in the series in a single film for a long and exciting hunting adventure. Even though it's a later date than Monster Hunter: World, it's an excellent starter tour for the old style of the franchise.
14. New Super Mario Bros. U
New in our list of the 25 best!
Of course, Nintendo may have used the "New Super Mario" aesthetic too often since its launch on the Nintendo DS in 2006, but under the poppy and saccharine presentation of this jewel port of the Wii U are dozens of 2D levels robust and intelligent. which make the best multiplayer mode in local cooperation on Switch. Add the included content New New Super Luigi U – a set of even more chaotic steps that redouble their importance by halving the time allotted (and encouraging you to play them as Luigi, a strange and rebellious man who jumps strangely) and you have one. the best platform packages out there.
From our review: New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe is a very accessible and feature-rich platform game. Toadette is a welcome addition to the list of players after finding a more forgiving way to tackle the most challenging levels, and the inclusion of the New Super Luigi U mode greatly extends its lifespan.
13. Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
New in our list of the 25 best!
Retro's second appearance in their Donkey Kong Country series is just as charming and inspiring as the Rare SNES trilogy. The original Wii U Switch port offers an easy mode with Funky Kong, but retains all the white knuckle-shaped platform that made Tropical Freeze's success in 2014. Boasting the best boss fights and the most challenging original of the last decade, and a charming Saturday morning cartoon style, it's a must on Nintendo Switch.
From our review: Donkey Kong: The addition of Funky mode to Tropical Freeze makes it more accessible without reducing the formidable difficulty of a platform walk in the park. There are still many challenges to overcome, even with the additional help of Donkey's Funky Uncle. But the Switch version manages to take just enough advantage over an exhausting game to let the fun platform outperform its difficulties.
12. Chronicles of Xenoblade 2
Down two places from our list of fall 2018.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 from Monolith Soft is widely regarded as one of the best JRPG ever made. You will never want to leave Alrest, even after spending more than 100 hours exploring its huge open world. You play as Rex, a lifeguard turned hero and "pilot" of the legendary Blade Pyra. The characters are extremely well written, there are dozens of blades to unlock, all with their own appearance and their own personality, and the combat system is satisfying and complex.
From our review: Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is an out-of-the-ordinary RPG that keeps its story, battles and exploration interesting over 70 hours of adventures across a rich and diverse world. In simple terms, it's an excellent game that features challenging, memorable battles and a positive message.
11. Stardew Valley
Down two places from our list of fall 2018.
Stardew Valley is a wonderfully open farm simulation. You will trace your own country way by fishing, fighting, cultivating and falling in love. Plus, being able to take advantage of the switch's sleep mode means you can not spare in the middle of the day, even if some port bugs are still waiting to be crushed.
From our review: Stardew Valley is a beautiful and fun game that, when all its parts are assembled, is a wonderful country adventure. Even 100 hours with three years of playing in books, I still have the impression of having so many mysteries to discover and lots of collectibles. New elements, goals and events from all the updates since its launch make Stardew Valley more welcoming to new players and extend its life for seasoned farmers. The fantastic multiplayer mode is that the icing on the cake of this wonderful agricultural role-playing game.
10. Eternal Collection Diablo III
New in our list of the 25 best!
Diablo, Blizzard's awesome RPG action-game franchise, may have been originally designed for PC, but with custom console controls and an ever-cluttered UI, Diablo 3 Eternal Collection is feel really comfortable on Nintendo Switch. It's perfect for local co-op sessions on the couch or for a fast dungeon in a portable mode. And with a multitude of character classes to choose from and thousands of nightmare foes to destroy in its dark caverns and ruined cathedrals, there is plenty of content to explore here at home or on the move. Switch players can even discover new exclusive content, such as Ganondorf-inspired costumes from The Legend of Zelda. If Diablo hangs on you – and it probably will – you'll explore and unlock weapons and items for years to come.
According to our review: If you've never played at Blizzard's legendary booty shredder, the Eternal on Switch collection is aptly named; you will find that the content and characters are not lacking to occupy dozens of hours. And, by the way, you're going to enjoy yourself. But even if you're like me and Switch is your third platform Diablo 3, I approve of it with all my heart, because, quite simply, it's a complete and refined Diablo package that you can play everywhere, from paradise To hell. .
9. Splatoon 2
Down five places from our list of fall 2018.
Splatoon 2 is one of those rare games you can play for over a year without getting tired. Many players were hoping for a fast Switch switch, but we got an awesome sequel with a brand new single player campaign and a lot of amazing free post-release content.
According to our review: There is much to love in the second Nintendo version of its unusual shooter, especially in the way Splatoon 2 insists on splashing the ground as much as it can. foul your opponents. New additions to the single player and multiplayer modes are going in the right direction.
8. Mario + rabbits Battle of the kingdom
No change. Always very good.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle did not lack skepticism before its launch. But Ubisoft Milan's robust strategy game has proven itself with really tough levels and accessible but complex turn-based gameplay, while also finding a way to marry the sense of humor of the Rabbits and the Mushroom Kingdom. in one charming experience.
According to our review: Based on its colorful world, beautiful animation and source material, you can expect Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle to be "My first turn-based tactical game". But you'll be surprised: even for veterans of XCOM some of his battles are tough puzzles. Some of its most challenging levels turn into a galley of trial and error, but a good mix of enemies, goals, and character abilities keeps things interesting.
7. Heavenly
Down a place from our fall 2018 list.
Celeste is a surprise chef-d'oeuvre. Its 2D platform is among the best and most difficult since Super Meat Boy, with levels as difficult to understand as it is to satisfy. But the greatest triumph of Celeste is that her jumps and jumps are marvelous with an important story and an incredible soundtrack that make it a truly emotional game, even when your feet are firmly planted on floor.
From our review: Celeste is a surprise chef-d'oeuvre. Its 2D platform is among the best and most difficult since Super Meat Boy, with levels as difficult to understand as it is to satisfy. Hidden through these levels, you'll discover a multitude of secrets and collectibles, some of which push the skills acquired to the absolute limit, as well as enough end-of-game content to allow you to play for dozens of years. # 39; hours.
6. Dead cells
up a place from our fall list 2018.
Dead Cells combines an unbridled movement with a focus on risk and reward for an incredibly appealing platformer game. Each course that is easy to digest through its beautifully detailed and changing levels encourages you to push the limits of your abilities and crushes you when you put yourself at ease. It's easily one of the Switch's best action platforms.
From our review: Dead Cells is rewarding for its flexibility, as few games are. Each journey that is easy to digest through its beautifully detailed and changing levels instils a sense of discovery and familiarity. It encourages you to push the limits of your abilities and crushes you mercilessly when you feel too comfortable. Dead Cells is a triumphal union of instinct, foresight, fun and failure.
5. SteamWorld Dig 2
No change. Always very good.
SteamWorld Dig 2 is a classic example of everything that a sequel should be: bigger, smarter and more fun. Guiding Dorothy into the labyrinthine caves of SWD 2 in search of loot and upgrades is a captivating and charming variant of the classic "Metroidvania" style. It has a game loop that will undoubtedly allow you to keep yourself in the wee hours of the morning for "one more run". .
According to our review: SteamWorld Dig 2 retains the original original resource collection game, but completes it with a beautifully detailed and hand crafted world. Its intoxicating blend of exploration, combat, platform and puzzle solving, combined with a vast array of abilities and mods, gives it a great variety and an exceptional playing pace.
4. Mario Kart 8
Down a place from our fall 2018 list.
The recall of Mario Kart 8 on Nintendo Switch has not only kept the virtual community online, it has also added favorites such as Balloon Battle and Bob-omb Blast, we have also set up a brand new team mode "Cops and robbers" with Renegade Roundup. great DLC scenes, and even some guests from the Splatoon universe. This is not a new game, but such a good one, it deserved to reach a wider audience on Switch right away.
According to our review: This is the best entry of the series so far, and it contains all the content you will need. Returning players have already seen a lot of this game before, but the revised Battle Mode and its five additional game modes are a great reason to pick it up again. Nintendo has not done enough to improve its online experience, but the rest of this game holds up well.
3. Super Mario Odyssey
Down a place from our fall 2018 list.
Master class on the 3D platform, Super Mario Odyssey seamlessly combines the best elements of almost every Mario game to a complete portfolio of new game mechanics to create something both nostalgic and brave. New players will love to wander through the new and vast and vast worlds, while seasoned veterans will remain after the credits to unlock the hundreds of challenges awaiting their skills and dexterity. To put it succinctly, Super Mario Odyssey is a pure and sublime joy and one of the best Super Mario games ever created.
According to our review: Mario games have been around for almost as long as game consoles, but fortunately, it is constantly evolving. We rarely have the same Mario twice. Super Mario Odyssey holds its permanent promise of originality and innovation: it distills the world and the merry and irreverent characters of the series, as well as the best platform actions, and introduces a continuous stream of new and unexpected mechanisms.
2. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
New in our list of the 25 best!
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is exactly what it's called: it's the ultimate incarnation of the 20-year-old Nintendo Brawler Series. It's a celebration of Smash Bros. as a whole, filled with more fighters and levels than ever, and bursting with a thousand other characters in the world of video games. "Everyone is here!" It may have started as an additional slogan, but Nintendo has been remarkably successful in backing it up. He made Ultimate the definitive game Smash Bros. for many years.
Add to that a solo mode of over 20 hours with full boss battles and huge world maps. You will easily get lost in Ultimate. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate had a lot to do with this name, but that's what it did without a doubt.
From our review: Super Smash Bros. Ultimate is aptly named, offering the most complete game of the series to date. He has an absurd amount to play, fight and unlock – even if it can sometimes be to his detriment. Although the adventure mode of World of Light is not a unique reason to have Smash Bros., it is still an always fun and shocking campaign, as well as a worthy complement incredible multiplayer core of Ultimate.
1. The legend of Zelda: the breath of nature
No change, always the best.
Let's face it, the Zelda series was long overdue for a major change, and The Legend of Zelda: The Breath of Nature offers an unprecedented sense of freedom and scale in the palm of your hand. Considered now as one of the best games of all time, Breath of the Wild tells an epic story in which you slide, cook and fight your way through a beautifully ruined version of Hyrule . That helped reinvigorate The Legend of Zelda in a way fans had dreamed of, easily propelling it to the top of our list and into our hearts.
Our Review: The Legend of Zelda: Wild Breath is a master class in open-world design and a decisive game that reinvents a 30-year-old franchise. It presents a beautiful sandbox full of mystery, which weighs dozens on dozens of enticing things in front of you that only need to be explored. I had so many adventures in Breath of the Wild, and each of them has a unique story behind what led me to them, giving them stories over stories.
And here is the summary of our spring 2019 update! You can see our Fall 2018 list here, but here's a summary of what has changed:
The following games have been removed: Blossom Tales, Super Mario Party, Kirby Star Allies, Minecraft, Overcooked 2, Night in the Woods, The Treasure of Shovel Knight, Octopath Traveler and The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim.

U Deluxe, Diablo III Eternal Collection, Super Smash Ultimate Bros, and Donkey Kong Tropical Country Freeze (much to Brian Altano's dismay).
