STIS: My daughter bought me my own Nintendo Switch for my birthday present (with Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu!). What games are recommended?

Posted by JaxSean (aka JaxSean) Jun 7 '21, 08:46

other than Animal Crossing.

I *love* the Mario games, and she already has the Mario 3D All Stars (which has Super Mario 64, Super Mario Sunshine, and Super Mario Galaxy).

I do like Pokemon, but so far Pikachu seems meh.

Beyond that, I saw Bioshock and Borderlands are available, but I already own those on Xbox, so seems dumb to buy them for a separate system.

Responses:

Breath of the Wild is a must. And ACNH, of course. -- nm - Tommy Jepperd Jun 7, 09:34
Super Mario Odyssey, for sure. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 08:55 2
- I was going to ask if anyone has played that. Seems to have high ratings. - JaxSean Jun 7, 08:59 1
  - It's a good game. But I didn't find it as compelling as Super Mario 3D World. -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 09:07
Here's a list of the best selling Switch games. -- (link) - Inigo Jun 7, 08:53 2
- Interesting that Monster Hunter: Rise is the first non-Nintendo published game on that list. I would not have guessed that. Also - oblique Jun 7, 08:56 1
  - Third party doesn't typically divvy up their per console numbers. -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 08:57
Let's Go is a remake of the very first pokemon game from the 90s I think. So helps a bit with nostalgia for folks who played those, but beyond that... - ty97 Jun 7, 08:49 1
- And there are more Pokemon remakes coming. Brilliant Diamond and Shining Pearl this year. Arcaus next year, supposedly open-world. -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 08:53
Let's Go Pikachu from what I understand is mostly useful in connection with the mobile game, and Pokemon Home. Breath of the Wild is mandatory. -- nm - Qale Jun 7, 08:49
Fire Emblem Three Houses is my fave outside of ACNH. -- nm - Dark Callisto Jun 7, 08:48 1
- That is great indeed. (NM) - Marlowe Jun 7, 08:56
I think the ones I've put time into are Civilization 6 (cross-save with other platforms), Diablo 3, Breath of the Wild, and of course Untitled Goose - oblique Jun 7, 08:47 2
- Oh forgot she also has Breath of the Wild (I've played it on hers, so that will be one I probably continue as well) -- nm - JaxSean Jun 7, 08:51 1
  - Tim got me into Hades which is unique in that it's only on PC and Switch. Though if you're playing on a Switch Lite, button mashers may not be ideal. - Qale Jun 7, 08:56
