8. BEST: Candy Shakedown

Hands down the best and most nuanced use of HD rumble in the entire game, Candy Shakedown may seem a bit too 1-2-Switch like at first, but after playing a round or two, you'll likely come around to just how surprisingly intricate it is.

The objective is simple: shake a candy jar until all the candy has fallen out, using the Joy-con's motion controls to manipulate the jar to best affect the candy's escape.

The HD rumble is shockingly tactile and gives distinctly different feedback depending on the size and shape of the candies you're left with. It's an impressive testament to the finesse of the Switch's rumble features, and it can also get pretty damn competitive.
