Nintendo Switch Games Tier List Maker | Rank All Nintendo Switch Games Up Untill 2026 (Free, No Sign-Up)

I once tried ranking my favorite Switch games for a friend from memory alone. I lost track around item seven, forgetting where I’d put Metroid Dread, second-guessing whether Celeste beat Hades. A mental list falls apart fast. That’s what a tier list is for.

This Nintendo Switch games tier list template is preloaded with the console’s most talked-about titles, first-party and third-party, ready to drag into tiers the moment you land here. Nothing to upload, nothing to sign up for.

Rank Every Nintendo Switch Game Right Now

The tier list maker on this page comes preloaded with Nintendo Switch and Switch 2 titles already added as images, so you can start sorting immediately instead of hunting down cover art yourself. Drag a game into S tier if it’s an instant recommendation, drop it into F if it’s the one you regret buying, and work through the rest at your own pace.

Everything here works without creating an account. That covers building the list, editing it, downloading it, sharing it, reacting to someone else’s, commenting, embedding it elsewhere, and reporting a problem with the template. None of it is locked behind a login.

How to Use This Nintendo Switch Games Tier List Template

Using the template is mostly a matter of deciding what “good” means to you before you start dragging things around, since Switch has such a wide spread of genres that a single ranking rarely tells the whole story.

Sorting by genre, playtime, or “have I actually finished this”

A few approaches tend to work better than just eyeballing it:

• Sort by genre first (platformers together, RPGs together, party games together), then rank within each group before merging everything into one list.
• Rank by how much time you actually put in. A 12-hour indie you finished twice might deserve a higher spot than a 100-hour RPG you abandoned at hour 20.
• Separate “games I’ve completed” from “games I own but haven’t touched,” since ranking something you haven’t finished is really a bet on potential, not a verdict.

None of these are the “correct” method. The point of a tier list is that it reflects your taste, not a universal scoring rubric.

Handling franchises with multiple entries

Switch has franchises that show up five or six times in a single library: multiple Zelda entries, several Mario Kart 8 Deluxe DLC waves bundled as one game, three or four mainline Pokémon releases. A few options:

• Rank each entry separately if you have a real opinion on which one is better (Breath of the Wild versus Tears of the Kingdom, for instance).
• Group an entire franchise into one tier if your feelings about it are consistent across every entry.
• For DLC-heavy titles like Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, decide up front whether you’re ranking the base game or the full package with expansion content, and stay consistent with that choice across the rest of the list.

Make the Tiers Actually Yours

The standard S through F scale works fine for a quick ranking, but it doesn’t always match how people actually think about their game library. This template lets you change that structure entirely.

Renaming tiers

Every tier label can be renamed. Instead of “S, A, B, C, D, F,” you could use something like “Recommend Immediately,” “Solid but Niche,” “Only for Completionists,” and “Regret Buying.” For a Switch-specific list, useful renames include things like “Couch Co-op Essential,” “Beat It Twice,” “Great on Switch 2,” or “Only Played the Demo.”

Changing tier colors and label colors

Each row has its own background color and its own label text color, both fully customizable. A common approach is warm colors (red, orange) for the top tiers and cooler colors (blue, gray) for the lower ones, but there’s no fixed rule. Color-coding by genre instead of rank is another option worth trying if you’re mixing very different types of games in one list.

Adding or removing rows, reordering tiers

Rows aren’t fixed at six. Add a row if you want a dedicated “Switch 2 Exclusives” tier separate from everything else, or a “Free-to-Play” row for things like Fortnite or Splatoon 3’s trial modes. Remove a row you’re not using. Drag entire rows up or down to reorder the tiers themselves, not just the games inside them. When you want to start over completely, the reset option clears the board back to a blank state.

Missing a Game? Add It or Draw Your Own

Nintendo Switch has one of the largest game libraries of any console, and no static template is ever going to include everything on day one. This template handles that in two ways.

Uploading and editing your own image via Create

Clicking the Create button opens a full design editor, comparable to a lightweight version of MS Paint, with a pen tool, shape tools, an eraser, undo and redo, and a text tool with bold, italic, and alignment options. If a game is missing from the template, you can upload your own cover art and drop it straight into a tier. You can also edit any image directly inside the editor: draw over it, write “still haven’t beaten this” across a screenshot, or block out a spoiler before sharing.

Using the AI import prompt

Because the Switch library runs into the thousands of titles, manually uploading images for a big personal list gets tedious fast. For that situation, the site provides a prompt you can copy into any AI tool. Tell that AI what you want ranked, for example “every Nintendo Switch exclusive” or “the best-selling Nintendo Switch games,” and it returns a block of code. Importing that code back into the tier list maker builds a template with the relevant games already added, so you skip the manual upload step entirely.

The one time I tried a vague prompt (“some good switch games”), I got back a template padded with obscure eShop filler. Being specific, a console generation, a genre, a franchise, made the difference.

Keeping the List Current

Switch and Switch 2 both get new exclusives on a regular schedule, so any template covering “every Switch game” is working against a moving target. Every template on this site includes a report option, so if a game is missing, an image is wrong, or a roster is out of date (say, a template built before a major Switch 2 exclusive launched), you can flag it directly from the template page. This is the same mechanism used across every category on the site, not something specific to this one page.

Share Your Ranking and See What Others Think

Once a list feels finished, or even if it’s still a work in progress, there are a few ways to get it out of the browser and in front of other people.

Downloading as image

A single button exports the finished board as a downloadable image, sized to show every tier and every game clearly. No account required to generate or save the download.

Shareable link (reactions and comments)

Generating a shareable link takes the interactive version of your tier list and puts it on its own page. That page includes its own download button, social share buttons for platforms like Facebook, X, Reddit, and WhatsApp, emoji reactions so people who view the list can react without leaving a comment, and a comment box for people who want to actually argue with your placement of Xenoblade Chronicles 3.

Embedding

The shared link page also generates an embed code, so the interactive tier list, not just a static image of it, can be dropped straight into a blog post, forum thread, or anywhere else that accepts embeds. Anyone viewing the embedded version still gets the full interactive board, not a screenshot.

See It Full-Screen

Every template includes a full-screen button that expands the maker to fill the entire screen. This is useful on a small laptop display, and it’s also the easiest way to present a ranking to a group, for a game night debate about the best Switch multiplayer titles, or just to make the tiers more readable when you’re working through a long list.

A Few Things Worth Knowing Before You Rank

What Does S Tier Mean?

S tier sits above the standard A through F scale and represents the absolute best of whatever’s being ranked, the games you’d recommend without hesitation. The “S” comes from Japanese ranking conventions, originally used in grading systems and arcade games, where S stood in for a rank above the top of a normal alphabetical scale. In a Switch games context, S tier usually means “buy a Switch just to play this,” not merely “very good.” This site’s own general-purpose tier list maker works the same way if you ever want to rank something outside gaming entirely.

Switch vs. Switch 2: Does It Matter for Ranking?

It can, depending on what you’re ranking for. A large share of the original Switch library runs on Switch 2 through backward compatibility, and some of those games (Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom and Breath of the Wild among them) have paid upgrade packs or free patches that improve performance on the newer hardware. If your tier list is meant to answer “what’s worth playing,” the console generation barely matters. If it’s meant to answer “what’s worth playing on Switch 2 specifically,” a game that runs noticeably better there might deserve a tier bump over an otherwise similar title that didn’t get an upgrade.

How Big Is the Switch Library, Really?

The Nintendo Switch eShop catalog has grown into the thousands of titles across first-party, third-party, and indie releases since the console’s 2017 launch, according to the official Nintendo eShop. That scale is exactly why a template that lets you add your own games, or generate a fresh one through the AI import prompt, matters more here than it would for a smaller, fixed-roster topic.

Popular Ways People Rank Switch Games

A few recurring angles show up often enough to be worth trying if you’re not sure where to start: by franchise, by genre (platformers, RPGs, party games), by how well a game holds up years later, or by “would I recommend this to someone who just got their first Switch.” If one of these sparks an idea, dedicated templates like the Legend of Zelda tier list, the Mario Kart tier list, and the Pokémon games tier list are worth a look too.

Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need an account to make or save a tier list? No. Creating, editing, downloading, sharing, and commenting on a tier list all work without signing up for anything.

Can I rank Switch 2 exclusives on this template too? Yes. The template covers both Switch and Switch 2 titles, and you can add any game that’s missing through the upload option or the AI import prompt.

Is my tier list private, or can other people see it? A tier list stays private on your device until you choose to generate a shareable link or download it. Generating a link is what makes it viewable, reactable, and commentable by others.

Can I add games that aren’t in the default template? Yes, in two ways. Upload your own image directly through the Create button, or use the AI import prompt to generate a fresh template built around exactly the games you want included.

Putting It Together

A Nintendo Switch games tier list only really works once you stop treating it as a quiz with a right answer and start treating it as a snapshot of your own taste on a given day. The template above is built to get out of the way of that: it’s preloaded with current Switch and Switch 2 games, every tier can be renamed and recolored, missing titles can be added by hand or generated through the AI import prompt, and the finished result can be downloaded, shared, embedded, or argued about in the comments, all without ever needing to create an account.

Start with the tiers as they are, rename what doesn’t fit, drag in anything that’s missing, and share the result when it feels done. It won’t be the last version. Switch libraries keep growing, and so will the list.
