No, not top 10 Nintendo Switch *party* games, but rather my top 10 favorite Nintendo Switch games to play *at* parties. Physical carts that 4 or more players can enjoy together on a single console!

As a lazy cheapskate consumer of physical Nintendo Switch games, nothing speaks to me more directly than collection-style and combo-pack games, e.g. a single cartridge with two or more entries from one franchise. Today, I’m sharing my top 5 personal favorites from this category, but of the modern-ish, U.S. variety. (I’ll do retro and import variants some other day.)

The Nintendo Switch is home to so many of the biggest and best home console video games... from the previous decade or so. Here are my top 5 favorites from that group that I am stoked to finally be able to play literally anywhere I go.

My latest youtube video - see the full thing here: https://youtu.be/ZfILWWP4yCo - is about the best video game of 1997 (a STACKED year in video games, by the way), which is absolutely Castlevania: Symphony of the Night.

My work is like the lazy Amazon rating of video game reviews, but if you can get past that and you like physical Nintendo Switch games, here are my thoughts on Human Fall Flat!

The Cat Quest games for the Nintendo Switch are pretty good RPGs, but is the Cat Quest + Cat Quest II Pawsome Pack worth buying physical?

Unfortunately I got sick and missed out on a Video Game Dads appearance - during an episode in which they're talking The Guardian Legend (NES), the game I picked for review - so I had to send my segment over in advance, and decided to share it here as well.
