This article showcases the best visual novels and adventure games available on the Nintendo Switch in 2024. The author, clearly a fan of the genre, highlights titles spanning various regions and release years, emphasizing their high quality and recommending them as full-price purchases. The list is not ranked, reflecting a personal selection rather than a definitive top 10.
The author praises Nintendo's 2024 release of Emio – The Smiling Man, a new entry in the Famicom Detective Club series, highlighting its impressive production values and shockingly good ending. The author also recommends the Famicom Detective Club: The Two-Case Collection for those wanting to experience the original games first.
A repeated recommendation from the author's previous "best of" lists, VA-11 Hall-A is lauded for its compelling story, memorable characters, and unique aesthetic. The author enthusiastically encourages everyone to play it, regardless of their preference for point-and-click adventures.
This definitive edition of The House in Fata Morgana is described as a storytelling masterpiece, praised for its captivating gothic horror narrative and exceptional music. The author considers it a profoundly impactful experience.
Though sold separately, the author groups Coffee Talk Episode 1 and 2 as a single entry due to the availability of a North American bundle. While not reaching the heights of VA-11 Hall-A, the author finds the games relaxing and enjoyable, with a charming pixel art style and engaging story.
This entry encompasses Tsukihime, Fate/stay night Remastered, and Mahoyo, all considered essential visual novels. The author suggests Fate/stay night as a good starting point for newcomers, but highly recommends the Tsukihime remake.
PARANORMASIGHT is highlighted for its surprising quality, compelling narrative, and engaging mechanics. The author praises its strong characters, art style, and unique elements.
Described as a hybrid of adventure and visual novel, Gnosia challenges players to identify imposters. The author appreciates its engaging gameplay and replayability, despite some minor RNG-related drawbacks.
The Steins;Gate series, particularly Steins;Gate Elite, is recommended as a great entry point for anime fans interested in visual novels. The author acknowledges the multiple games included but justifies the inclusion due to their collective importance.
The author considers the AI: THE SOMNIUM FILES games to be exceptional, praising their story, music, and characters. They are presented as high-quality adventure games that are well worth the price.
This adventure game is described as unforgettable, with a unique blend of disturbing and wholesome elements. The author's personal experience with the game reinforces its recommendation.
With the entire series now available on Switch, the author recommends The Great Ace Attorney Chronicles as the best entry point, although acknowledges the appeal of the entire collection.
This horror adventure/visual novel series is praised for its striking art style and compelling stories, though the author acknowledges the grotesque nature of some of its content.
The article concludes with 13 Sentinels: Aegis Rim, a real-time strategy game with visual novel elements. The author considers it a masterpiece, highlighting its replayability and enjoyment on the Switch OLED screen.
The author concludes by inviting readers to suggest other games they believe should have been included and notes a future list focusing on otome games.
