Metacritic recently shared a kind of compilation with the highest rated games for each console. The Nintendo Switch is the most recent to arrive and has some surprises. Like the fact that in the top 3 there really are no titles from the company highlighted for its first party offering.
Instead of the return of Mario & Luigi, Peach or Echoes of Wisdom taking the throne, that honor fell to Castlevania: Dominus Collection. This is followed by the titles Animal Well, Pentiment and Balaatro. It’s not until tenth place that we see a frist party title from Nintendo in the form of the Paper Mario remake The Thousand Year Door. Here we leave you the complete list

We recommend: Nintendo could reveal the Switch 2 in January due to leaks
It is rare that Nintendo’s own titles do not enter the highest positions in the Metacritic ranking. This would indicate that it was a relatively weak year for them, although it is probably because they are saving all their heavyweights for when the Switch 2 is launched. Did you expect this ranking?
What can we expect from Nintendo in the future?
Although 2024 was not Nintendo’s best year, there are many things that suggest that 2025 will be different. Since, to begin with, it is expected that in the next 12 months the long-awaited Switch 2 will be announced and also launched to finally succeed its current hybrid console.
As if that were not enough, there is also a lot of expectation for the arrival of Metroid Prime 4: Beyond, which could be a launch title for this console. They also announced that in 2025 we will have the next generation of Pokémon. That’s not counting the launch catalog that they could put together for Switch 2 and that could be quite surprising.
