In total, the rating includes 16 indie games that were released for the hybrid system during 2020. As in the previous time, the list itself is compiled in no particular order – the position in the list does not reflect the volume of sales.

Places among the best at the end of the outgoing year were awarded both to prominent representatives of the indie scene like Hades and Spiritfarer, and more niche projects such as Super Mega Baseball 3 and Kentucky Route Zero.

It is also worth noting that, despite being included in the rating, Streets of Rage 4, Ori and the Will of the Wisps, Carrion and Neon Abyss cannot be ranked as purebred representatives of the independent segment – all four projects were created with the support of publishers.

The top 16 best-selling indie games of 2020 for Nintendo Switch are as follows:

• Hades;
• Streets of Rage 4;
• Spiritfarer;
• Moving Out;
• Ori and the Will of the Wisps;
• Carrion;
• What the Golf ?;
• Shantae and the Seven Sirens;
• Super Mega Baseball 3;
• Superliminal;
• Jackbox Party Pack 7;
• Sakuna: Of Rice and Ruin;
• Kentucky Route Zero;
• Crosscode;
• Bloodstained: Curse of the Moon 2;
• Neon Abyss.

Recall that in 2019, Cuphead, Blasphemous, Katana ZERO, My Friend Pedro, Untitled Goose Game, Baba Is You, Ori and the Blind Forest remaster and others topped a similar rating.
