I bought BotW and Super Mario Odyssey with it. Both games are a blast so far, but I wanted to probe the board for other games to play. I will typically play anything, but love RPGs and FPSs. I would also like some less time-intensive suggestions for when I just want to pick it up for a short time and then put it back down (BotW and SMO are time sinks ).

Thanks in advance!

I really enjoyed Xenoblade Chronicles 2. If you like RPGs you will probably like it.

Get Cuphead if you want to hate yourself. It's $19.99.

I've been avoiding Cuphead like the plague on my XBox, but maybe the Switch is the time to give in.

I've enjoyed it on the switch, and its definitely a good time killer.

Looking at Xenoblade, it looks right up my alley. Great suggestion.

Splatoon 2



I'll throw in my normal rec for Mario+Rabbids. That game is great.

I really enjoyed Poi. It was like $20. It kind of reminds me of Mario Sunshine but I think I 100%ed it in like 20 hours, but you could definitely pick it up and put it down after each short level.

If you get the online service you get a bunch of NES games and Tetris 99.

My biggest time sink is rocket league. It really is an awesome game if you like competitive titles. It’s well supported by the dev team and has a huge following. You’ll need nintendo online to play it ($20/yr)

Mario Kart is great for just picking up and playing. When I first got my switch that was my go-to for the chick filet drivethrough

A lot of great games from the steam library are on the switch now like stardew valley, hollow knight, etc.

Second Cuphead. Loved it on PC. Would be great on switch if I didn't own it already.

Most of the best Wii U games have gotten Switch re-releases because so many people missed out of them because they didn't own a Wii U

Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe

are two worth checking out

Next month Super Mario Maker 2 is coming out. I highly suggest that.

Got Cuphead last night and love it so far. Definitely feels good on a handheld. Perfect for picking up and putting down.

It is a bitch, though. But the gameplay is a ton of fun.
