Stevivor’s Switch GOTY 2017: Zelda & Super Mario Odyssey

Today’s Stevivor’s Game of the Year (GOTY) 2017 category is a bit of a no-brainer: Best Nintendo Switch title.

The winners? Easy — a tie between The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Super Mario Odyssey, titles that launched the handheld-home hybrid and helped to drive holiday sales, respectively.

The two titles earned every single vote we Stevivor staffers threw up in this category, and mirrored our opinions for The Game Awards’ handheld category (even though they weren’t considered… oops).

Ben gave Zelda a 10/10 and Odyssey a 9.5/10 in his reviews, so you can’t go wrong with either.

Because of our votes, we’ve no honourable mentions.

Steve Wright

Steve is the founder of Stevivor, which itself is a combination of ‘Steve’ and ‘Survivor’ -- that made more sense back in 2001 when Steve first arrived in the country and Jeff Probst was up in Queensland. The site started as Steve’s travel blog before transitioning over into video games.

Aside from video games, Steve has interests in hockey and Star Trek, playing the former and helping to cover video games about the latter on TrekMovie.com. By day, Steve works as the communications manager of the peak body representing Victorians as they age.

Steve has recently gathered a career's worth of writing on swright.au, his personal portfolio.
