  • Games-as-a-service or titles with substantial updates during this period (e.g., League of Legends) are eligible.
  • Remakes are eligible; re-releases/remasters are not.

About Nintendo Switch

We’re not including Nintendo Switch here. It launched as part of the 9th generation and will feature prominently in the coming-gen conversation, so we’re keeping this list to prior-gen platforms.

Tell us your picks!
