No one does platform games better than Nintendo, and now that Switch is here, it's exciting to know that we can take our favorites on the go. This list ranks the best platformers for Nintendo Switch, including 3D platform games for Switch, and side-scrolling platformers as well.

Aren't you just dying to play Super Mario Odyssey? It's easily the most anticipated 3D platform game for Nintendo Switch, but there are plenty of other titles coming out before it that look amazing. Sonic Mania, for example, is re-inventing 2D Sonic in an all new game that combines old school and new. there is also Yooka-Laylee coming out in 2017, the spiritual successor to Banjo Kazooie.

Vote up the best Switch platform games that you've played, or the unreleased games that you just can't wait to play.
