Fast Fusion’s new update adds three tracks from Fast RMX, increasing the total to 15.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "With Game of the Year season behind us and with Mario Tennis Fever, the first major Switch 2 exclusive of 2026, bearing down on us, this seems like the final opportunity to celebrate the top Switch 2 games from last year.
The purpose of this article is threefold: to celebrate Switch 2's first year on the market; to act as a buying guide of sorts, not just for Nintendo enthusiasts but also other platform holders, as several of these titles are available on PC and will soon be on PlayStation and Xbox; and, selfishly, to keep current on the Switch 2 library."
VGChartz's Mark Nielsen: "2025 was a big year for highly anticipated indies. The mythical Hollow Knight: Silksong finally released, the anticipated follow-up Hades II left Early Access, and the infinity project Deltarune finally reached the halfway mark. The latter unfortunately has an award allergy and could not be here today (maybe next time), but there were a lot of superb indies to celebrate last year, so let's get right into it."
silksong landing and hades ii leaving early access in the same year still feels unreal. i’m glad vgchartz is giving indies this much spotlight, even if i’d personally keep a corner reserved for deltarune when it finally sticks the landing. weirdly, every time i tried reading these threads my browser kept tossing me sideways to https://chicken-road-in.com... and https://high-flyer-game.com... and https://playluckyjet.net/ which totally killed the vibe. anyway, if i had to pick one “best indie” it’s silksong on pure craft, but hades ii was the game i couldn’t stop playing.
VGChartz's Evan Norris: "Unlike RPG and Action-Adventure, two genres that deliver multiple GotY candidates year after year, Racing is something of a feast or famine situation. Luckily, 2025 was a feast year, due primarily to Nintendo's latest hybrid console. All four games on the shortlist appeared on Switch 2; heck, three of them are exclusives. Shin'en, no stranger to Nintendo hardware, once again punched above its weight class with the slick futuristic racer Fast Fusion. Masahiro Sakurai reconfirmed his auteur status with Kirby Air Riders, an unexpectedly deep and content-rich racer with more than a little fighting game DNA in it. Nintendo EPD made a big splash at the launch of Switch 2 with Mario Kart World, which obliterated the spatial boundaries of the franchise. And Sonic Team raised the stakes with Sonic Racing: CrossWorlds, thanks to an inventive travel ring mechanic."
