I wanna buy a Switch eventually, but I need to know a few good games I would like because it seem to me that Pokemon and Sonic are the only ones I love (but I tried the demo of Mario Tennis at Target and I know I would like that).

Mario + Rabbids is far better than it had any right to be.

Health sure is versatile. It's possible to be both light-headed and dim-witted. At the same time, no less.

[up] Yeah, that's a good game. It's quick too.

Out of physical games...

Crash Team Racing Nitro-Fueled is good if you like kart racers. A lot more challenging than Mario Kart though.

I missed the part where that's my problem.

You have to put in time in "gitting gud" cause the game expects you to know its mechanics inside out.

Remember, these idiots drive, fuck, and vote. Not always in that order.

Hyrule Warriors Definitive and Fire Emblem Warriors are also good if you want some smashy cathartic release games.

Also Kirby Star Allies as another sidescroller. Especially with all the free DLC it got.

I'm going to assume that nobody's mentioned Super Mario Odyssey because it's just obvious, and not because nobody thought of it. tongue

There's also Xenoblade Chronicles 2 if you want that RPG goodness. If you want something more strategic and turn-based, Disgaea 5 Complete+ is about to come out. There's also Valkyria Chronicles 4.

Really, the Switch has a *bunch* of games so you can just take a look at its page and see if anything catches your interest.

Let the joy of love give you an answer! Check out my book!

I'd argue for Octopath Traveler on the JRPG front.

On Xenoblade Chronicles 2, I'd suggest looking up how it plays before getting it. It's pretty atypical by JRPG.

there's also Final Fantasy 7, 9, 10, 10-2 and 12 for RP Gs on the Switch. 8 is coming later, though.

The Mana series is getting that big release too, right? For a traditional RPG.

Yeah, there's the Collection of Mana, which has Final Fantasy Adventure (it IS called Seiken Densetsu 1 in Japan), Secret of Mana, and the Super Famicom (SNES) version of Trials of Mana, which they did translate into English, German and French I think for the first time officially.

And Trials of Mana is getting a full 3D remake early next year on Switch, PS 4 and PC as well, so you can play both versions of it if you so desire.

That Mana collection is very tempting. Do we know if it’s coming to other systems or is it Switch-exclusive?

Dunno, but does anyone really need snes or psa 1 era games on pc or other consoles that aren't handheld? [lol]

Like seriously, none of those games benefit from being on the console with more processing power, so main benefit I see is being able to play it wherever you want.(some of old games oddly seem to work better as handheld games than home console games <_<)

Yes. Me. I vastly prefer to play a game on a home console if available.

^^I mean, Switch is both handheld AND home console. I don't really see the benefit Xbox or Playstation has for old games unless you just like the controller, company or menu music better tongue

[up] Controller and trophies, in my case.

Also I can have my controller plugged in, so I don’t ever have to worry about batteries.

You can have the pro controller plugged in as well as long as you have one USB-C port open on the dock.

The Joy Cons can be plugged in as well, but you either need to play handheld or use them as a pro controller with the charge grip.

Mana Collection appears to be Switch exclusive, at least in the west. It's a little pricey but Trials of Mana is one of the best games in the series and getting to play an officially localized version is worth it alone.

Trials of Mana also seems ridiculously long, with its six characters, three story variations, a class system with hundreds of possible combinations, so there's a lot of playtime in there.

Add the other two games onto that, which are also very sizable, so you get a lot of bang for your buck.

Yo-kai Watch 4 came out recently in Japan. I presume English playthroughs are out but I'm avoiding spoilers for now.

As has been mentioned, Super Mario Odyssey is good. Just, like, in general.

And if you like FPSes, Doom.

So I played in undocked mode for the first time...

How exactly are you supposed to use the right joy-con's face buttons with the right stick blocking your thumb? This is seriously the most uncomfortable controller I've used.
