I am just now about to turn on the Switch for the first time this weekend to play some Huntdown.

What about you? What have all of you been playing?

    Thanks! I played a few minutes of Odyssey and was definitely intrigued — I’ll give that a go next. I have a good PC and steam deck, so I’m back with Nintendo for the experiences only they can provide. I’m not much of a platform gamer, but I have started to appreciate the higher fidelity variations. I should also add that I enjoyed BOTW and Golf Story.

      For Switch exclusives I’d recommend:

      • Fire Emblem: Three Houses
      • Fire Emblem Engage

      They’re both great for opposite reasons - Three Houses has a more interesting story and cast, while Engage has some of the best gameplay in the franchise.

      • Kirby and the Forgotten Land

      All Kirby games are good fun, and this is one of their games best IMO.

      • The Legend of Zelda: Link’s Awakening
      • Super Mario RPG

      Excellent remakes, but keep in mind that both are kinda short compared to recent RPGs.

      • Super Mario 3D World + Bowser’s Fury

      A really fun Mario game that got a bit overlooked due to the WiiU’s low popularity. Probably my favorite Mario game for coop play.

      • Metroid Prime Remastered

      Fantastic game despite its age, and the remaster is absolutely perfect. The atmosphere and OST are fantastic.

      • Xenoblade Chronicles 2
      • Xenoblade Chronicles 3

      Huge open-world JRPGs with very interesting worlds. Both game have some significant flaws, but the package as a whole is fantastic, with XC2 being the only game in the last decade I spent 200h+. Also, both have amazing DLCs, each including a 20h+ story with new cast, mechanics and world.

      • Shin Megami Tensei V

      Kinda surprised this is still a Switch exclusive, but it’s a fantastic Atlus JRPG. Unlike their more popular Persona series this one is more focused on gameplay and atmosphere as you explore a post-apocalyptic world and recruit demons to battle alongside you.

        Appreciate the in depth recommendations. I’ll revisit this post a few times I’m sure
