Already decided I’m grabbing Smash because it’s my favorite game out right now but what are the 3 essential Switch games I should play first on the console? Merry Christmas everybody

Kind of envy you if you haven’t seen anything of BOTW or Odyssey

I spent an unreal amount of time on those games

I’ve heard Breath of the Wild is a GOAT potential game. Is that actually true or just Zelda hype?

BOTW is legitimately awesome.

I agree with Smash and Mario Odyssey.

If you didn't have a Wii U or didn't have the games on it, Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze and Mario Kart 8 are great fun.

Untitled Goose Game is a great afternoon of hilarity.

As someone who hasn't had a nintendo product since the 64 and never played Zelda before it's amazing.

If you go with Breath of the Wild, I'd get the DLC/Season Pass to go along with it since some parts of it can be discovered from the get-go.

I'd also highly recommend not reading anything about Breath of the Wild since there's a ton to explore and figure out on your own (and you will), and there's entirely too much that can be spoiled by reading or watching videos.

I wish I could go in blind one more time.

Agreed with what most have said. I bought my first switch a few months ago, and it has been fantastic. I have a 5 year old so I wanted the mario games to play with.

BOTW a must.
super mario odyssey was freaking great. Flashbacks to my n64 days.
Mario Bros for an old school side scrolling mario.

Get a switch pro controller if you have the cash or an off brand to save some money.

I knew absolutely nothing about Zelda before playing botw and it easily became one of my top 5 favorite games of all time

I didn't want a switch, but the new pokemon game has me itching to get one.

Might be working out a trade for one of my pokemon cards to get the switch and shield tho

same. now I've played LoZ and ALttP on the switch and haven't yet completed either. can't seem to beat the final dungeon in LoZ and am about halfway through ALttP. Can't imagine trying to play this shite as a kid back in the day lol.
