@@hernanmartinez2000 so u haven't played hollow knight..
Dio Cort no maybe he doesn’t like hollow knight
Mine are hollow knight ori and undertale/shovel knight (can’t choose) in no particular order
Agreed
Two other great indie games:
1. The Gardens Between
2. Gris.
Rime looks awesome, I’m thinking of getting it.
It runs poorly on switch tho
Take a shot every time he mentions metroidvania games.
Sergi Bonell poisoned
*it's super effective!*
that would be me drunk on the floor
What does metroidvania mean?
K K it’s just Metroid and castlevania put together
Excellent list, your channel deserves more praise.
Thank you very much! I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
Thanks for making this list, there was a bunch of stuff here I’ve never heard of.
No problem at all. Im glad I could be of help
Great list! Narrowing it down must have been tough...
I'd also recommend Night in the Woods, Cadence of Hyrule, Crypt of the Necrodancer, Ape Out, Slay the Spire, Katana Zero, Enter the Gungeon, and Wargroove. And Bastion also looks great, but I've just started playing it.
Yeah it was very tough. When I originally was going to do it I was only going to do top 10 lol I couldn't stop there haha
Cadence, Katana and Gungeon should've made it.
Katana zero is a must play
What’s your thoughts on bastion? Felt like a mobile game to me
I beat bastion and transistor and liked them both a bunch
Seriously tho, really good reviews for a nintendo gamer. I wasn't sure any of these games were worth the time but this definitely helped. :)
Great list, I would definetly add enter the gungeon so many unique enemies and guns and just a really fun addicting game
Holy horse dong yes on an awesome game and hard as heck. I can't pry myself away from this game
I was thinking about gungeon aswell. It is awesome! I got 100+ hours into this gem. :)
I was just about to comment this
Great list, my top two are the same, just flipped. Two of the greatest games ever made!
Thank you very much :) you're good people since you like those two games haha
Nice list! I also believe Gris, Into the Breach, Messenger, Katana Zero, Axiom Verge and Touryst deserve praise! And of course 2 of my all time favourite: Limbo and Inside are modern masterpieces! So many great indie games on Switch!
There truly is. Got to love the Nintendo Switch xD
Steamworld dig 2 is so underrated! Such a great game. I'm glad to see it on this list
I'ma sub bro bc ur showing me sum great games n I'm just getting back into gaming so thanks
The one that's definitely missing for me is The Messenger! Agreed that Celeste is the top of the crop, though!
Yeah it seems a lot of people really love The Messenger :) luckily I think the comments will help people discover it as well
Good call man...... Amazing game!
Yup, The Messenger is amazing!
I liked the messenger, but thought the metroidvania stuff felt tacked on
Nice list, these games a definitely worth checking out
Great list! A few on there that I must get. I'd also throw in Mark of the Ninja, Wargroove, Darkest Dungeon, Into the Breach and Cosmic Star Heroine.
Love Into the breach!
I thought I was watching one of the 100k+ subs nintendo game reviewers. good one!!!! hope you make it
Thank you :)
when he talked about people spending hundreds of hours on stardew valley... i felt that
I hear you... I finished Persona 5 (120 or so hours) and thought, "I need a light-hearted, casual game I can just play a little of now and then to recover from that epic storyline," so I bought Stardew Valley...
...500 hours later, I still wasn't bored and looked forward all day to coming home to play more.
@@vorpal22 i just bought persona 5 royal 👑
@@kevinpatterson8901 Good choice. I'm sure that you'll probably love it. It's one of the best games released in the last while! I hope you enjoy. Did you play the original Persona 5?
@@vorpal22 yes but i never finished it
Great list man :) very solid video
Thank you very much! Im glad you enjoyed the video :)
I would add Iconoclasts, Valfarys, Flipping death, Flinthook, Fast RMX, Rive, Toki Tori2... damn, we need a top 50 list
Lol it sure feels that way. The rough draft of this list was def getting close to that mark haha
Valfaris is a banger
I really like how diverse your list is!
As to my recommendations, I'm thinking : Battle Chasers : Nightwar, Blasphemous, Dandara, Gris, Iconoclasts, Nine Parchments, Salt & Sanctuary, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Shadows of Adam, The Messenger, Vectronom.
Not all of them are top 25 material, but they are most certainly worth picking up.
Wait, Salt and Sanctuary is on Switch!!
Good list. It had a good few games that weren’t on EVERY other top indies list 👍🏻
Holy shit you only have 1.2k subs!! Well I’m proud to hop on the train this early. This was an awesome video
Haha thank you very much, and I'm glad you enjoyed the video xD
Good list!
Enjoyed this! Mark
Thank you very much! :) I enjoy a lot of your all's content myself. Switchup is a great channel, so I appreciate it coming from you
Switchup is an amazing channel, what they miss is a list of all their reviewed games and scores, and to review more games
Coffee Talk is an amazing game for the switch. So many emotions and a whole other world to immerse yourself in.
Great video and a nice voice! Subbed and waiting for the next Switch Indie best of :D
Thank you very much, and I look forward to making another Switch Indie video in the future :)
This list needs to have Katana Zero on it!
Agreed
I just beat katana zero it was so amazing and I'm just here looking for another game to play
Nick Gula
YES PLEASE
N++ we need it!
Katana zero is my favorite game of all time. I dont care what people say. It may not be the best game ever but its perfect in my eyes. Ive played hollow knight and yes it is by far one of the best games ive ever played but still katana zero is just so good. Tldr katana zero good.
I just started playing Fe, so far it's amazing. Great atmosphere, unique gameplay, epic scenes.
I HIGHLY recommend cattails (stardew valley but with cats and it’s honestly amazing)
Hi, just a question/suggestion can you put the prices in as well next time you do one of these? It would be very helpfull! Also great job this video is getting me really excited about indie games for when I get my switch soon!
Awesome content!
Having played about 3 games from this list, I know that you know what you're talking about! Now in to the other 22! Thanks!
Lol hope you find plenty of games to enjoy here :)
I've gotten over 200 hours out of Dead Cells, love it. Hollowknight also 150+ hours. Best Action platformers on the system.
I was wondering the dead cells game looks pretty cool but, should I get regular dead cells, DC: Rise of the giant, DC: fatal falls, DC: the fatal seed bundle, or, DC: the bad seeds
(Btw I’m saying DC instead of dead cells bc it’s annoying to write so much)
@@breezy_vaulter1311 is recommend to buy the full collection with all dlc
Guacamelee 2 is sadly such an underrated game. It is definitely one of my top 5 indie games right after Hollow Knight, Cuphead, Dead Cells and Celeste.
Also Steamworld Heist is really good. And Children of Morta is worth playing.
Very cool, diverse list!
Great content bro. I’ve subscribed.
Thank you very much! I appreciate the support :)
great list I enjoyed it a lot
Thank you. I'm glad you enjoyed the video :)
Thanks for giving some good recommendations that I haven't played yet! Only three I personally think should be on this list, that I've played and you omitted, are Guacamelee 1 and 2, along with Darkest Dungeon.
No problem, and thank you for the suggestions :) guacamole for sure is very good. Switch has a lot of great indie games
Aye great video!! Subbed bless you
Thank you, and I'm glad you enjoyed it :)
This is, to date, the single best and most informative switch games list I ever saw.
Thank you for making it!! You have earned a solid like + a subscriber ;)
keep up the good work
Thank you very Mikey! I appreciate it, and Im glad you enjoyed the video :D
Happy to see West of Loathing on this list. My top 5 indies are Tangledeep, West of Loathing, Siralim, Crashlands, and Torchlight 2 (has a major publisher for Switch port but its an indie).
Hey anybody here has tried The Virtuoso Path? It's a rhythm game about classical music czcams.com/video/4bwmhjPPfkQ/video.html
Amazing video and great channel. I hope you can make more videos like this but by genres: best Metroidvanias, best plataformers, best action games, etc.. on switch. Also I hope you can make your Top 20 NOT indie games on switch.
Regarding this video, I agree with the Top 3 (although I would have a different order), agree also in most of the list (probably 20 from the 25) which is a really high percentage (different order although).
Thimbleweed Park, Hotline Miami, Into the breach, Enter the dungeon and Axion Verge should have made it.
Thank you! Yeah i can do that for sure regarding different genres:) and I do have a top 25 games on the switch as well if you want to see that. They announced Axiom Verge 2 recently. The switch has a ton of great indies xD
this was an awesome list, got some $ burning my pocket and i couldnt find a list that could sell me on games but you explained each one well
Glad I could help :) enjoy!
I would put GRIS on this list hands down without question one of THE most compelling game I have played.
vdawggie Gris is a walking sim tho
Child of light is super good too
My only complaint with Gris is that I played it after finishing Hollow Knight, which took me weeks to complete, so by comparison it felt like it was over in the length of a movie!
Very surprised not to see The Messenger on this list, judging by some of your high picks I'm certain you would enjoy it a lot. Other games I would highly recommend are Guacamelee 1&2, so funny and brawl-y metroidvanias. And Splasher, a hidden gem of a platformer I randomly discovered by myself on the eshop with no prior knowledge of it.
My personal favourites overall are: Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, Celeste, Yoku's Island Express, The Messenger, Golf Story and Steamworld Dig 2.
Yeah I'm a big fan of metroidvania games :) I'll have to go check out the messenger. I've yet to play it. Good recommendations!
I think you'd enjoy Ori and the Blind Forest!
Guacamelee is criminally underrated
It was decent. If anything it’s overrated though. Got really high scores across the board.
Celeste, Hollow Knight, and Ori as the top 3. Perfect picks!
Moonlighter was good as well
Def a great list imo
Totally agree with the top 5 (Hollow Knight is definitively one of my favorite game). I'd add to the list The Red String Club, for its narrative dimension, Children of Morta, for its balanced combinaison of hack-and-slash and roguelite elements, and Baba is You for the amazing puzzles. Maybe also Return of the Obra Dinn ? (which I haven't tested yet)
Forgotten Anne! Such a great game and I really can't think of another game like it. Total recommend
One of the better list of top games that I seen..beside the different ranking. Most are good, although I only own a few of the titles.
U deserve more like and views. Very good video.
Thank you :) glad you enjoyed the video!
Very well done video
Great list, I would choose a bit different in the order though.
*Monster Boy and the cursed kingdom*
Me : YES ! THANK YOU !
Same!
Cat Quest 2 is pretty cool and addictive also ! But can be easy ^^
Getting a switch in a few days... extremely excited.
Thats awesome, its an amazing console. I hope you enjoy it :)
@@JayWood2010 Thank you friend, I'm starting with Hollow Knight, Celeste and Night In The Woods. I'm interested in many other titles as well
Wow, great diverse list.
Very nice list.
One amazing Indie game that it is not there is Katana Zero.
top 4 are amazing games that anyone should check out
Night In The Woods!
Amazing art, soundtrack, and story.
There isn't much game to play but it is mainly a story game anyway
however, you still can play bass to songs like Die Anywhere Else
and Weird Autumn or play a game within this game called Demon tower which is very good!
awesome
subbed
Completely agree with your top two , but in reverse order 👍
The binding of isaac, darkest dungeon, the messenger, gris are awesome too.
But your top is good !
I would also recommend Mark of the Ninja
Agreed, katana zero, gris and cadence of hyrule must definitely make the list! I put hollow knight above all else tho.. not many people know about gris but I started playing it after searching for a relaxing game before going to bed; and now I can say it is one of the best indie games out there, top five for me.
Binding of Isaac, Castle Crashers, Mother Russia Bleeds, Hotline Miami, Trials Rising, N++, Stardew Valley, Letter Quest etc
Baba is You!!
Games in this list are great, games I see in the comments are awesome as well... I hope I just didn't scroll down enough but why don't I see Baba is You anywhere!? If you like puzzle games, that one's really good. You might get stuck on some puzzles though as they're not too easy!
On Nintendo switch, I’m not to sure how but Stardew Valley is still on the best seller list in the eshop! Even after months after release, it still is gaining enough sales to stay in its place!!
because of its cheap price and beautiful look
This list is awesome. It's missing a few greats, including Katana Zero, Neo Cab, Sayonara Wild Hearts, Ape Out, Iconoclasts, Gone Home, and Wide Ocean Big Jacket (which released after the creation of this list), among others
Salt and Sanctuary is worth to be mentioned as well imho, it's an incredibly good game :)
Lorenzo Zottar finally someone who mentioned salt and sanctuary lol
Just mentioned too. Stellar game
Brilliant list ... For me I'm on the fence with what my number one would be... stardew valley or hollow knight!
Thank you! You cant go wrong with either of those choices. Both great games xD
@@JayWood2010 I see hard west is on sale for $1.99 . apparently that's an epic Xcom style western that's pretty good
Nice list i play celest,hollow knight, steamworld dig 2 and superrrrrr bomberman👌
Nice games there :)
Great list....
I would add some strategies like Enter the Breach and WarGroove
2 solid games
I would also add katana zero, the messenger and Blasphemous
Katana Zero is awesome, I was hoping to be in the list
Blasphemous is amazing
My favorites indies are:
1) Broforce
2) Reventure
3) Stardew Valley
4) Shovel Knight
5) Katana Zero
6) The Messenger
7) Undertale
It is an amazing list but I would’ve liked if you included the messenger
The messenger is my favorite game
I’m really happy with Celeste and Hollow Knight being number one and number two, but I really wish Night In The Woods was on here
Night in the woods was in my final cuts. Just barely missed my top 25
I was so relieved to see Monster Boy
Great game :)
When I saw Celeste at number 1 I just got all kinds of flashbacks, mainly the b-sides lol. Pure torture...
i used to do the b-sides with my friend, we were talking or raging (depending on how long we were suffering) on Discord, we‘d kinda do a race (I won every time) but that introduced bluffing to our strategies of psychological warfare lol, I’d used to say things like ,,damnit“ I’ve been stuck here for 10 minutes, meanwhile I’m 4 rooms ahead of my friend.
We never really finished the game because you had to collect all strawberries and the b-sides got frustrating on another level after chapter 5 or 6.
really a great game tho
I love the adventure pals , hob , yokus island
Yoku's Island Express is topnotch!
Armello...Awesome turn based strategic role playing board game😎👍
Excellent new indie game for Switch: NICKY - The Home Alone Golf Ball, $0.99
My Friend Pedro and GRIS should definitely be on the list.!
A very good list, but I missing Gris, Katana Zero... and now, Return of the Obra Dinn :)
Damn do I wish I saw this before black Friday this year
My favorites indies are:
1) Broforce
2) Reventure
3) Stardew Valley
4) Shovel Knight
5) Katana Zero
6) The Messenger
7) Undertale
Great video, I'm gonna get a few of these. how do you compare shovel Knight to super Mario but not duck tails? 😂 The shovel bounce
I agree with the number 1...so well deserved
great recommendation
I missed Messenger and Axiom Verge
Love Steamworld Dig 2!!
I have 120 hours in stardew valley. No regrets, honestly I wish i had an excuse to start a new farm and keep the gameplay going
Got an idea for ya. There's a new-found item duplication glitch. I started a new farm, got mega rich, but still need to develop skills to unlock the better crafting recipes. It's a fresh perspective; you got rich in the city before inheriting grandpa's farm, now you have money to spend but still need to do all the things to build an ideal farm, so you appreciate the work of a hard day's labor.
Unfortunately my character is a douchebag and completed the Joja questline (for the 1st time) just by donating money. That too makes you realize how shallow being rich can be when you don't have to work for what you buy.
"Katana zero" is also a good and unique game
That game is soooo good
One of the best games I've played in a long time!
I can also recommend Fe by Zoink! Very lovable art style and a nice story told through cryptic runes and flashbacks
A fun 3D platformer!
I was expecting a hat in time but other than that I totally agree
Not on this list but Tower of Babel - no mercy is on my switch non stop with my kids.
Very good game to play toghether ! abit like tetris or tricky towers
I absolutely love Celeste and Golf Story.
