The Nintendo Switch 2 is just around the corner, and after eight years on the market, it’s hard to say the first Nintendo Switch was anything other than a huge success. Sure, it may have the power of a new Xbox or PlayStation, but the cross features, modern feedback of the Joy-Con controllers, and large library of Nintendo classics and third-party ports has made it the desired console for millions of people around the world.

There’s a little something for everyone in the Nintendo Switch collection, particularly if you’re looking for a challenge. These are the 15 most difficult Nintendo Switch matches, between brand-new, higher-end titles and old friends that have been system-ported.

15. Ikaruga

Day hasn’t made Ikaruga any easier since it was first released for galleries in 2001, and the Switch interface doesn’t have any cutting-edge changes to lower the problems. A still-innovative polarisation system dominates this, creating real bullet hell. You can also adjust your ship’s polarity to white or black at any time and digest specific attack bullets to match that color. But getting hit by a shot of the wrong colour, and you’ll gain a ship.

Although Ikaruga may seem like a straightforward idea, once the bullets start flying, it can be a little challenging to know all of its designs. Any gamer who is survive its five stages can still be proud of their success, especially if they can do it without losing a life.

14. Super Mario Maker 2

Super Mario Maker 2 contains truly two sports. The first is narrative style, a challenging, but not terribly difficult variety of amounts developed by Nintendo that most Mario veterans will be able to hit after a few days with a fair&#8212, but not terribly excessive&#8212, number of deaths.

Then there’s the online mode, where sadists have gone out of their way to create the most absurdly challenging multitasking rates ever created and that less than one cent of people may actually defeat in some cases. If you choose to enter this setting and actually attempt to complete some of these levels, does God have mercy on your heart.

13. Hades

Hades ‘ issues, like any game, largely depends on a combination of exercise and luck, but it also introduces some peculiarities that make it one of the more challenging titles in the genre. Second, to truly beat the game and see the certificates, you’ll have to beat the final director not once, not twice, but a whopping 10 occasions, a feat that will get most players dozens of hours.

However, you can manually raise the difficulty for additional rewards after successfully defeating Hades. Some of these modifiers increase the number of enemies or the way bosses attack, making it impossible for developers to master the hardest difficulty until a successful user posted it online and posted it.

12. Dark Souls: Remastered

Without Dark Souls, where would a list of hard games be? The Switch version isn’t significantly different from any of the other versions that have come out since 2011, other than the fact that you can now die frequently while traveling. With all of its occasionally cheap enemies and occasionally confusing level design, this game is essentially the same as it was when we’ve been playing it since the PS3 era.

The only reason Dark Souls is so low on the list is that there are already plenty of online guides that will teach you how to power up quickly and quickly defeat the most challenging bosses. However, if you enter it blind, you will still find this to be one of the most challenging games.

11. Shin Megami Tensei III: Nocturne HD Remaster

You’ll hear from experienced Shin Megami Tensei players that the games aren’t that challenging. The problem is, that view really only comes from experience. If you go into Shin Megami Tensei III blind, you will almost definitely die a lot, even on normal difficulty. &nbsp,

Kind of like Dark Souls, there’s just a lot here the game doesn’t tell you about fusing demons and shoring up your party’s weaknesses. Most gamers will tell you their first encounter with the series was nothing but easy once you understand the game’s mechanics and are able to properly prepare for battles.

10. Dead Cells

Another beloved roguelike, Dead Cells took a lot of cues from Dark Souls, but just moved the action to 2D. You have a pretty good idea of what the difficulty will be with that kind of inspiration. Dead Cells is a fantastic game overall, but what’s frustrating about it is how random and unfair it can be.

You’ll get strong equipment and a good run going so you can start dominating everything in your path. Then the game will unintentionally end your run with a brand-new boss you’ve never seen before who crushes you in ten seconds.

9. Darkest Dungeon

You know how we previously stated that Shin Megami Tensei III can at least be defeated with proper planning? Darkest Dungeon takes that one advantage away with its procedurally-generated dungeons. You might think your party is ready for what’s ahead, but if the game throws something way overpowered at you, you’re going to be dead, or maybe worse, insane.

Darkest Dungeon‘s most unique feature is its stress level. If your party is stressed by too much darkness, lack of food, or blights from enemies, they’ll stop listening to you, or they might even have a heart attack. Darkest Dungeon is much more challenging than the typical RPG because of having to deal with the effects of stress.

8. Thumper

The developers of Thumper describe it as a “rhythm violence” game. A few minutes of gameplay demonstrate what exactly that means. You operate as a space beetle that moves along a track while avoiding obstacles and defeating enemies to maintain rhythm with the music.

The difficulty of Thumper is moderately high, but like many great rhythm games, even the most experienced veterans of other rhythm games will struggle to keep up. Each level number corresponds to a time signature, and the later levels become so extreme that even the most experienced players will struggle to keep up.

7. Baba is You

Over the course of more than 400 levels, you’ll be forced to question your intelligence in Baba is You, a completely original puzzle game. You are presented with several word tiles in each stage of the screen that you must arrange to achieve the goal. That can begin as straightforward as arranging the phrase “flag is win,” but the difficulty quickly mounts.

Once you get more deeply into the game, it’s simple to understand how quickly a level will be broken by a change in your character’s personality or the world itself. And later levels ‘ use of words becomes much vaguer, leading to a frustrating rather than enjoyable experience.

6. HD version of Donkey Kong Country Returns

Donkey Kong Country Returns HD is technically the newest entry on this list since it only launched in January of this year, but it also serves as a port of a 2010 Wii game, making it one of the older games on the list. The difficulty also depends a lot on the mode you choose to play. There are plenty of power ups available, making it a challenging but not impossible game to get through. In mode, Donkey Kong and Diddy Kong can share six hearts between themselves.

But if you play in classic mode, you’re in for a rough time. Donkey Kong Country Returns ‘ numerous mine cart and barrel levels will test all of your platforming abilities because there are only four hearts between the Kongs and there are fewer power ups, and not everyone will make it to the credits.

5. Metroid Dread

Metroid Dread initially came with only a normal and hard difficulty selectable, and even normal difficulty was pretty darn hard, despite receiving an update with an easier difficulty mode after its release. The changes to the old Metroid formula are a major source of the challenge. In intense stealth situations, Samus must deal with the new EMMI robot foes, initially with no way to defeat them and only a short window of escape when they catch her. Those parts of the game, which sometimes involve complex control combinations, can be tough, even when you acquire a weapon to take down these deadly enemies.

Then there are the challenging boss fights, which made many players give up before the final cutscene. In particular, the final boss, a demanding three-stage fight that requires almost perfect timing to overcome, may be the most difficult in the entire franchise.

4. Super Meat Boy&nbsp,

Another title, Super Meat Boy, was originally released elsewhere long before its Switch debut, but it hasn’t been completely diluted for casual gamers. Super Meat Boy has some of the tightest platforming controls around, but that doesn’t do anything to ease the difficulty.

There are just so many obstacles that need to be evaded in each of its more than 300 levels that it takes real skills to get the game to the end. Even though the later levels are incredibly addicting, you’ll probably try your hardest to watch the final scene.

3. Celeste

Another extremely challenging platform in the same league as Super Meat Boy, Celeste. The game requires absolute mastery of its jumping, dashing, and climbing mechanics if you plan to see it to the end, but don’t expect that to be a quick journey. On forums, posts about players dying hundreds of times on a single level are not uncommon.

Celeste does feature a highly customizable “assist mode” that can provide you with lowered game speed, unlimited dashes, or even invincibility, but without that it’s a real chore to get through the challenging B-side and C-side levels, or gather all the game’s collectibles.

2. Hollow Knight

Hollow Knight‘s wonderfully strange graphical design perfectly captures the world’s subterranean insectoid environment, which undoubtedly attracted a lot of unsuspecting gamers. Every aspect of this game’s difficulty is pushed to the max, despite having a traditional Metroidvania core. You can get overrun by dozens of difficult bosses quickly, and even a difficult run into a group of regular enemies could get you kicked out.

The most annoying aspect of Hollow Knight is that there is so little direction about where to go next, it’s very simple to go down a path you’re not yet prepared to handle, and you can have your entire progress erased in a flash ( though admittedly this feature has fans as well ).

1. Cuphead&nbsp,

First off, let us just say that we absolutely love Cuphead’s aesthetic. With a jazz soundtrack and a beautifully animated soundtrack for 1930s cartoons, you’ll be humming along with the controller. The run-and-gun gameplay is solid, too. It’s just so damn hard.

There are no real shortcuts to getting past Cuphead‘s numerous challenging bosses. You simply need to understand their patterns before mastering the muscle memory necessary to accurately time parries and attacks. If you actually do defeat the Devil, you’ll feel great about yourself, but not everyone gamer will be willing to put in the effort.
