An icon used in notice templates. NOTE: You might notice some repeats here. My reasoning behind this is as follows: right around the time when the Switch came out, I was getting ready to start college, and I didn't want to go through the trouble of lugging a whole console between two different states. Thus, my Switch allowed me to play some of these Wii U masterpieces whenever and wherever I wanted, and in some cases the port actually improves over the original.

Nintendo Switch:

Game Title: Opinion: Extra Thoughts?!
Super Mario Odyssey Gold.png Favorite game of all time.
New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe Silver.png Better than the original, but way overpriced.
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury Gold.png Better than the original, and Bowser's Fury was a blast. Another game built like that with maybe a little more content would be perfect!
Super Mario 3D All-Stars Silver.png Internet's already ripped this collection a new one for its lack of bonus content or game tweaks, so I won't do that here. I mainly bought it since I'd never played Sunshine or OG 64 before, and while both games have their charm, they're held back by some significant flaws. I am interested in trying Galaxy without the motion controls, but it's not a priority, considering I already 100%'d the game and find it a little overrated.
Super Mario Maker 2 Gold.png What the first game should've been.
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Silver.png Better than the original, based on the revamped Battle Mode alone.
Luigi's Mansion 3 Silver.png Best in the trilogy.
Mario & Sonic at the Olympic Games Tokyo 2020 Silver.png A shallow, but extremely addicting set of minigames. The Story Mode was pretty fun too, barring its lazy presentation as well as some odd decisions made. For instance, why couldn't I play as any character I wanted in each event, upon unlocking them?
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle Gold.png Best. Crossover game. Ever.
Paper Mario: The Origami King Gold.png A near-perfect middle ground between the older and newer styles, while also including some small improvements that I wish were in the early installments.
Yoshi's Crafted World Silver.png I love the visuals, but the level-flipping concept was underplayed and the OST was horrendous. Plus, unlike Woolly World, there was no satisfactory reward for 100%ing the game.
Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Gold.png The definitive version.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild Gold.png Best in the series, and I can't wait for the sequel.
The Legend of Zelda: Link's Awakening Silver.png My first exposure to this game. Fun overall, but I didn't like the bloated amount of collectibles. Also, the dungeon builder was very half-baked.
Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity Gold.png Far superior to the original Hyrule Warriors, with a better story and more streamlined content, and the way it incorporates some of BotW's mechanics is ingenious. The postgame does get a little grindy and repetitive at times, though. Plus, I'm curious as to how BotW2 will acknowledge this game's plot, assuming it will.
Kirby Star Allies Gold.png Pretty solid installment... after all the updates, that is.
ARMS Copper.png Cool character designs, but aside from that, this new IP didn't hook me at all.
Miitopia ??? Thoughts coming soon...
Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Gold.png Probably won't ever be surpassed by any future installment.
Sonic Mania Plus Gold.png Only classic Sonic game I've ever beaten.
Sonic Forces Gold.png Not perfect, but I find this game to be very underrated, what with its cheesy story, catchy soundtrack, and cool Avatar system.
Team Sonic Racing Bronze.png Cool concept for the gameplay, and the OST is phenomenal. But aside from that, this game has very little staying power to me.
Crash Bandicoot: N-Sane Trilogy Silver.png My first exposure to these games. They were competently made, but nothing amazing.
Crash Bandicoot 4: It's About Time Silver.png Cool graphics and level design, with some sharp writing to boot, but the completion process is way too bloated, and the difficulty would most likely be a turnoff for whose who are new to the series. If not for the infinite lives option, I probably wouldn't have reached the final level, and even the idea of just beating the game sounds incredibly daunting.
Mega Man Legacy Collection 1+2 Bronze.png Wasn't able to beat any of these games, except for MM10, and that was only because of the Easy Mode.
Mega Man 11 Silver.png Only the second Classic Mega Man game I ever beat. Modernizing the series instead of being constrained by nostalgia really pays off.
Mega Man X Legacy Collection 1+2 Gold.png These games hold up way better than the Classic series in my eyes. Also, Rookie Hunter Mode makes X6 a lot more fun than fans say it is. X7 was the weakest, but still overstated in terms of how bad it actually is.
Mega Man Zero/ZX Legacy Collection Gold.png If you like to play video games mainly for the story, then you'll definitely love this series. I personally had to take a few breaks in between installments because of how similar the gameplay is.
Lego The Incredibles Bronze.png First and possibly only Lego game I ever played/bought. Once you've played one, you've played them all.
Guacamelee! One-Two Punch Collection Gold.png Some of the best Metroidvanias out there, with some really awesome music.
Yooka-Laylee and the Impossible Lair Silver.png A glimmer of hope for this burgeoning IP. Wouldn't say it's as good as the games it's inspired by, however.
New Super Lucky's Tale Silver.png Nothing to encourage replayability, but it is fun while it lasts.
A Hat in Time Gold.png Super Mario Sunshine done right!
Bayonetta 1+2 Gold.png N/A
Batman: The Telltale Series Gold.png Pretty interesting take on the Batman mythos, but it does have a few minor bugs and animation errors.
Batman: The Enemy Within Gold.png An absolute blast. Need I say more?
de Blob Gold.png The lack of motion controls makes this installment less awkward to control; if you haven't played the game before, get it on the Switch, not the Wii.
de Blob 2 Gold.png As I said before, this sequel annihilates its predecessor, with level designs that are better built around the controls, as well as an overall greater amount of polish/fleshing-out. Plus, the option of using soundtracks from both games was a more than welcome touch.
South Park: The Stick of Truth Gold.png Between the two games, this one has the better story.
South Park: The Fractured But Whole Gold.png Inferior story, but the battle system is far better.
