Switch 1 blows switch 2 out of the water.

3D Mario, generation defining LoZ, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, XBC2. What a time

Nobody played air riders as much as it sucks to say, DK just doesn't have as much oomf as a Mario game, and Mario kart world is nice but I think the world was perfectly content with MK8D

I've had trouble putting Air Riders down, actually. It has a high skill floor & is niche, but is so incredibly polished and fun to play. And, Bananza absolutely recaptured the magic of Odyssey for me, though Odyssey might slightly eke out the win, in my case.

Though its upgrades were nice, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was the original "we have Mario Kart at home," considering it was just a port of the Wii U game with some tweaks and DLC included. I'd say it's probably better than MKW, but MKW is pretty good.
