Best nintendo Switch colors

Animal Crossing leads the Switch ranking with 1368 ELO points over 51 duels, ahead of Zelda: Skyward Sword and Neon Blue.

Animal Crossing dominates with a commanding 102-point gap over Zelda: Skyward Sword, winning 71% of its duels to claim the top position. The podium mixes game-themed colors with actual titles, reflecting the community's attachment to Nintendo franchises alongside the console's signature neon aesthetic. Zelda: Skyward Sword at 1266 ELO edges past Neon Blue by 21 points, while the middle ranks cluster tightly: Neon Green and Neon Yellow sit at 1220 and 1218 ELO respectively, separated by just 2 points. This narrow spread suggests voters struggle to distinguish their preferences once past the clear leader. At the bottom, Gray languishes at 1102 ELO with only a 29% win rate, indicating voters reject neutral tones in favor of brighter alternatives. Neon Pink trails at 1058 ELO, the ranking's lowest score and 44 points behind Gray.

How this ranking is computed

Every duel won lifts a contender and every loss drops them, by an amount that depends on the opponent's strength: beating the leader is worth more than beating the last. It is an ELO, the same principle as in chess. Duels are not drawn at random — an adaptive entropy sort puts the least predictable match-ups first, which settles the ranking far faster than a full round robin. A worldwide ranking is only published past 30 completed plays. Known limit: a contender who has faced few opponents keeps an approximate score, and the bottom of the table moves more than the podium.
