I finally got a Switch! What now? (beehaw.org)

After years of lamenting about the cost, I was gifted a switch recently (<3 to my friend). I haven't been following Switch games too closely, so I need to know what I should buy.

So far I've bought Neo:The World Ends With You, The First Tree, Katamary Damacy Reroll, and Final Fantasy VII. BOTW and TOTK are on my wishlist. What else do you recommend I get?

Also: I noticed a few things I want are on sale. Should I buy these now, or would they be on sale again soon? I know Nintendo is notorious for not discounting, but is it the case that the same games go on sale every few months (like Steam), or would I be missing out if I don't get them now?

Do you have a PC?

If you do, obviously most of Nintendo's titles are worth having. Zelda games are an easy recommend, but also Splatoon is pretty great.

If not, there's tons of games that are good that aren't Nintendo games that I think are worth having.

  • Octopath Traveler is awesome. I haven't played 2 yet, but I can recommend 1 if you like JRPGs
  • All legacy FF games are on the platform to some capacity
  • Ace Attorney game collections are great if you like visual novels
  • Basically every indie is on the platform at this point. Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Axiom Verge, probably a lot of others but those are some big names that come to mind.
  • Otherwise, I would avoid ports that haven't gotten good reviews. Also, make sure that the games aren't "cloud only" unless you're comfortable with that.
