emily.k7232: mario kart world is so underrated, people slept on it because it wasnt a new mainline mario game

LostFrog: BOTW and TOTK at 60fps alone is worth the upgrade for me

MrMango420: DK Bananza and Silksong are carrying this entire console right now, everything else feels like a port.

dumplinghater7697: Worst console launch lineup I've seen in a while honestly. $450 and a handful of ports.

throwaway82227: Cyberpunk 2077 topped the reader-ranked launch list which still cracks me up, a 2020 PC game is the best switch 2 launch title

DarkFrog86: Wheres Fantasy Life i on this list, that game deserved top 5 not buried in the middle
