Nintendo Switch game recommendations.

[atxcyclist]

I just bought one and want to purchase some games. I play a lot of RPG and adventure games; Zelda, Skyrim, and the like, but would entertain really any recommendations as there is a huge library for this system. Bonus if it's system linked/online games as I have friends and family with Switch consoles as well.

 

Thanks in advance.

If you havent got it yet consider Nintendo Switch Sports and Wii Fit Adventure. Pretty much the 2 games on the systems that excites me besides ported stuff from PC and other console.

I've been playing Mario Kart and art of rally a lot. Play art of rally especially if you want an extremely challenging driving game. I'm also gonna get Cattails on Switch pretty soon. Minecraft (Bedrock Edition) on Switch is an annoying bugfest, just so you know.

Shin Megami Tensei V looks amazing, will probably jump into that after I finish Elden Ring on PS5. Megaten games are peak turn based dungeon crawling. Triangle Strategy just came out and looks awesome. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is outstanding and Nintendo just showed off XC3 last Direct. Check reviews for those three and see if they interest you, though the IGN review of SMT V was annoying since the reviewer kept whining it wasn't Persona 5.

Here's some cheap ones that you shouldn't miss

Virtua Racing - arcade perfection for 8 bucks

Golf Story - a golf game RPG

Doom 64 - the best port on consoles at the time

Horizon Chase Turbo - almost as good as Virtua Racing

Steamworld Dig 2 - think DigDug on 11

Johnny Turbo's Arcade Nightslashers - a gem I'm sure you've never played

I have played quite a lot of Wii Sports, so Sports is likely going on the list. One of the first things I downloaded was the SNES emulator, I've been wanting to play Earthbound again but it's nearly impossible to get an original SNES cart.

Mario Kart is a must, I still have Mario Kart 64, but it's time for a fresh game. I was thinking about Minecraft, but maybe I'll avoid it...

I'm not familiar with most of these, but I'll read about them a bit. I think I still have a copy of Xenosaga for the PS2 but haven't loaded that disc in many moons.

Going to read up on some of these, I think Doom 64 is on sale right now for just a few bucks, might just go ahead and pick that up.

 

 

Thanks for the input everyone! I dug up some GameStop gift cards and went a little bonkers the morning after I made this thread, couldn't help myself. I ended up with:

 

• Breath of the Wild
• Super Mario 3D World/Bowser's Fury
• Sonic Forces
• Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning
• Everspace - Stellar Edition

GameStop had a buy 2 used under $20 and get one free, so the last two games were a bit of a chance. A family member told me Kingdoms of Amalur is good and I'd like it, so could be a good one.

Oh, if you into turn base strategy, the Disgaea series.  Great for on the go on the Switch.

 

Hollow Knight

Enter the Gungeon

++ for the Xenoblade series

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Hobs, its an interesting indie game that's open world, I've been playing it though its story is a bit confusing, but its a fun puzzle style

Hades is a fun rouge like if you want to add one of those, dead cells is another great one too

Outerworlds also is on the switch, its fun but a bit slow I'd say, but its basically sci-fi fallout on switch

Super Mario Odyssey

Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker.

Skyrim is actually on the Switch too, so you can buy it and play from the beginning all over again.

Paper Mario: Origami King

Okami HD

Assassin's Creed: The Rebel Collection
