If there is one thing that every Nintendo console has struggled with since the Nintendo 64, it's having a wide range o🔴f quality exclusives. Sure, every Nintendo platform has its usual top-tier Nintendo software— but the company can only make so many games in-house, often resulting in just a couple of big releases per year at most.

Just over two years into the Switch's lifespan, and the number of true Switch exclusives already available has proven that Nintendo finally seems to be bucking that trend. While the first few entries on this list should be avoided at all costs, it doesn't take long before this simply be𒆙comes a list of good-to-great Swi🥂tch exclusives that owners of Nintendo's hybrid console should check out if they haven't already. Even better is that, once we hit the top five or so, we get into games that are some of the best of this entire console generation, period.

For this list, we wanted to stick with true Switch exclusives, meaning games that weren't currently available for any other platform. In addition, we left off the "deluxe" Switch versions of Wii U games, such as Mario Kart 8 Deluxe🌸, even🐽 if they added a fair amount of new content. An enhanced port is still ultimately just a port.

Where will Yoshi's Crafted World fit into this list when it releases on March 29th? Let us know where you'd fit it in once you've checked it out! We have a feeling that there are going to be a couple of Switch exclusives hitting in the coming months that'll have to be plugged pr🌺etty high into the next ranking we do like this.

26 Vroom 🍨In The Night Sky 💙

For the most part, we seem to be past the days of broken, unfinished games released day-and-date with a new system that needed to make launch day. But it's definitely not a trend that has been completely bucked, as evidenced by one of the worst examples of it in recent memory: Vroom in the Night Sky.

Even under normal circumstances, you should never be duped into buying a game as bad as Vroom just because you need stuff to play on your new console. But with Breathe of the Wild available, there really was z✤ero reason to bother.

25 Flip Wars

Flip Wars doesn't just sound like the name of a real estate-based reality show...it actually is. So how a game was able to be created with the exact same title and no lawyers got💮 involved is a mystery. That said, when dealing with a game as completely unremarkable as Flip Wars, it's probably not even worth the lawsuit since nobody played the game anyway.

The Switch has no shortage of decent puzzle games, and unless you're somehow already completely bored of the dozen or so better ones, then just flip righ🎃t on past this war.

24 🎀 Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical ꧑

Apparently, The Legend of Dark Witch is a video series that already has a couple of installments on the 3DS, Vita, and PC. Who knew? Certainly not us... but we appreciate a good rhythm game so we decided to give the awkwardly-titled latest installment Dark Witch Music Episode: Rudymical a shot.

How are we feeling about the Dark Witch franchise now? Eh. This bland, uninspiring music game with completely forgettable music certainly hasn't made us fans. So, unless you're one of the handful of people in the world who are self-described "Dark Witch fans," don't bother.

23 ܫ ♚ Soccer Slammers

Released to coincide with the 2018 FIFA World Cup, Soccer Slammers is soccer— and sorry, European readers, but we're ♕calling it soccer since that's the title of the game— extremely simplified and aimed at younger gamers.

An arcade-style soccer game in anꦓd of itself isn't a terrible i✤dea— and Soccer Slammers has brief glimpses of the fun game it could've been. But it just never really comes together, and the visual style alone will probably turn off anyone above the age of 6.

22 🐼 ꦡ Fitness Boxing

Wii Fit remains one of the best-selling non-pack-in games of all time— especially impressive given that it cost a hundred bucks with the bundled Wii Balance Board. The game was so popular that its trainer even became a full-fledged Super Smash Bros. character.

Nintendo has spent the last seven years trying to recapture that success, but they've never really gotten there. Their latest attempt, Fitness Boxing, feels stuck between being an exercise program and a boxing game, not q𓆉uite nailing either one. That said, it's the best fitness game available for Switch so far.

21 Picross S/Picross S2 🃏

Nonograms are grid-based logic puzzles that have their roots in puzzle magazines, but it's hard to deny that their more famous form are the video game variations that most commonly go by the naꦍme Picross. Most people got their first exposure to Picross via the 1995 Game Boy Game Ma♐rio's Picross, and Nintendo has continued to release various Picross games over the years.

The most recent, a pair of Picross games for the Switch, don't do much to drastically shake up the formula— but for fans of previous Picross games or logic puzzl🔴es in general, they'꧅re worth checking out.

20 Taiko No Tatsujin: ♕Drum 'N' Fun! 🍬

Though the genre kind of flamed out with mainstream audiences after Rock Band and Guitar Hero over-saturated the ma🍸rket, rhythm games have remained a strong niche with a lot of fans and some really interesting releases over the years.

Some classic rhythm games have made comebacks recently, including Namco's drum-based Taiko franchise— whose gameplay will be familiar to anyone who played the similar Donkey Konga. This Switch-exclusive installment lacks a drum controller but retains mo💯st of th🌼e fun and charm the series is known for.

19 1-2-Switchဣ

Though it's a well-worn argument at this point, it's still worth repeating yet again that 1-2-Switch should've came bundled with the Switch as it seems to be in the tradition of Wii Sports and Nintendo Land.

If Nintendo didn't want to give 1-2-Switch away for free, fine, but they could've at least made it a little less than the typical Switch game— charging the same for this and Breath of the Wild is absurd.

All that said, 1-2-Switch is a fun party game and is worth buying— if y♊ou get a good deal on it.

18 Ni🤪ntendo Laꦫbo

Technically, Nintendo Labo isn't strictly a game in and of itself but a series of games that share the premise of needing to be played with cardboard accessories t🌺hat you have to build yourself— but we still felt that they could all be lumped together for purposes of this type of list.

Yes, it seems ridiculous having to literally pay for cardboard. But if you can look past that— and realize it is actually geared more towards children— you'll see that Labo is a really neat idea that translates to some really fun and unique gamin🔯g experien🍰ces.

17 Arms

Aside from an extremely generic name that has terrible SEO, a lot of people dismissed Arms after its early trailers for looking too simplistic. Arms is the kind of g🌜ame that people play for ten minutes, thin🦩k they've seen all there is to see, and deride it as such— but there's more to it if you put in the time.

Simply spamming punches in Arms isn't the point, and betrays what is actually a deeper fighting system heavy on throws, counters, and environmental attacks. Street Fighter it isn't, but worth playing it definitely is.
