Agree with everything, except I think Arceus is the best Pokemon game since Black/White.

This is the correct answer. And I will go one further and say it is the best Pokemon Game since Pokemon Snap on the N64.

Do you like Character action games?

If so, check out Astral Chain

 

[Chukhopops]

People have already given a lot of good recommendations but as far as Nintendo exclusives go I'd also recommend Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101: Remastered.

Both are forgotten masterpieces.

 

[Kataploom]

I'd start from those upgraded and from games that were already running great:
Super Mario Odyssey
Zelda BOTW
Zelda TOTK (but take a good break from BOTW first)
Metroid Dread
Metroid Prime Remastered
Smash Ultimate

As much as I'd love to recommend the best JRPG franchise ever (Xenoblade) it's not upgraded yet so I'd wait. Same for any other game.

 

[Sgt.Asher]

Kirby forgotten land
Astral Chain
Steam world dig 2 (not exclusive, fun metroidvania)

Paper Mario and the origami king (i find it to be a good adventure game, really good soundtrack too)

I've been playing Barony recently, rougelike dungeon crawler.

 

[Nintendo's Witch]

Wow such great recommendations guys. Keep them coming!

 

[I collect VHS tapes]

This is the correct answer. And I will go one further and say it is the best Pokemon Game since Pokemon Snap on the N64.

I stopped playing it because I'm waiting for a fucking patch because the game looks like dog shit despite being really fun

That is a game that was truly neutered by the switch one hardware

Really hoping Nintendo does some sort of significant upgrade

 

[Dorago]

I'll recommend the one's I've played and beaten:

Cartridge Titles:
Mario Odyssey
Mario Wonder
Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Yoshi's Crafted World
Kirby Superstar Saga
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

Download Titles:
Sega Ages Phantasy Star
Stardew Valley
Collection of Mana
Nintendo Online NES, SNES, and Gameboy - dozens of good games on here.

Most carts can be had for $35 used right now, but that won't last forever. Third party online titles routinely go on sale for $5-$10.

So GAF, I just bought a Switch 2 and I don't own an original Switch, this thread is for you beautiful Switch connoisseurs to make recommendations of the best Switch games to play. They can be the obvious classics, hidden gems or just games you like.

Time to drift my joycons!

Lucky bastard, you have at least 2 years of amazing games in the horizon.

Astral Chain
Xenoblade 2,3
Luigis Mansion 3
Pikmin 4
Paper Mario
Metroid Primer Remaster
Metroid DREAD
Bananza
Mario Kart 8
Mario Kart World
Etc Etc

[Polygonal_Sprite]

Mario + Rabbids. Probably the most pleasantly surprised I've ever been from a video game. Ubisoft done Nintendo and themselves proud. A great game which was also stealth patched to 60fps.

If you enjoy it the sequel is a larger budget version set in space but I have to be honest I have a major soft spot for the original despite the increased scope and budget of the sequel. Both great casual RTS games though and both extremely cheap nowadays.

 

[CuteFaceJay]

Red Faction Gorilla and Burnout Paradise. are good and always go on sale.

& No Pokemon games please

All th good Pokemon games are on GBA /DS/3DS Anyways.

 

[Poppinfresh]

As others have said:

Astral Chain
Xenoblade 1, 2, 3, X, and their assorted DLCs (the DLCs for 2 & 3 are both the length of normal games)
Fire Emblem Three Houses & Engage
Triangle Strategy
Live a Live


And, something new that I haven't seen mentioned yet:

It's a Visual Novel, and I'm not really into visual novels beyond using them to learn Japanese, but it's damn good. Well worth the price and you can just chill and read it randomly until you complete it.
