20 Best Nintendo Switch Games Of 2017

16. Sonic Mania

Hands-down the best Sonic of all time, Sonic Mania's design ethos of letting fan-modder Christian Whitehead lead an official project turned into one of Sega's best decisions in decades.

Having not known what to do with the character since the dawn of 3D, it turns out the best thing was to revert back to the good ol' days. Putting out a dedicated pixel-perfect Sonic was all fans ever wanted in the first place, and lead by Whitehead's team given free-reign to create new levels and animations, Sonic Mania is the ultimate package.

Blisteringly-fast gameplay, some of the most genuinely impressive, intricate platforming levels you've ever seen, an exemplary soundtrack and all the charm of Sonic backing every jump, spin-dash and Robotnik head-bounce, Sonic Mania is the beginning and end of why the character is one of gaming's greatest.
