I just bought a Switch for travel and downtime at work. I bought Super Mario Odyssey and NBA 2k20 so far. I really enjoyed Super Mario Odyssey. Having trouble deciding the next gameI want to buy. I hear everyone talking about Zelda, but I was never into the franchise. Any ideas? Thanks everyone

I mean Mario kart, Super Smash Brothers, Xenoblade 2 if you like RPGs.


Mario vs. Rabbids if you like tactical games.

Get Zelda. You don’t need to know anything about the series.

It’s an amazing game.

Get breath of the wild and just play it, one of the best games of all time and different than older Zeldas

Zelda-You don't need to have played the other games to play this one. You will love it

Super Mario Maker 2

Mario Kart 8

Smash Bros

Dragon Quest Builder 2- Look this up before you buy though and see if it looks like something you would be interested in. I've never played any of the Dragon Quest games before this and I'm addicted to it almost as bad as I was Zelda.

Untitled Goose Game

Zelda BOTW is one of the best games ever made and worth the price of the Switch itself. Wouldn't worry about anything else for a while.

Hollow Knight is amazing if you're into Metroidvania's. If you're into Mario, then MarioKart 8 and Mario Odyssey. Smash Brothers is great too if you're into that. Haven't tried Mario + Rabbids but heard good things.

Breath of the wild and Mario kart for must haves.

I would also add that many of the top tier steam games are great on switch with the handheld versatility. And I’ve noticed them matching steam sale prices.

I never played a Zelda game either and loved BotW. Now I'm catching up by using the NES and SNES packs on the Switch

Smash Bros is a great one for picking up and putting down at leisure
Mario Kart
BOTW
Mario + Rabbids if you like xcom type games

Overwatch come October 15. Even though I don't have a switch I've been playing the game since Day 1 on PC.

Sign up for Switch Online and go ham on the NES/SNES library, too.

Is the switch worth getting? Currently, I only play on PC but I have been wanting to play Smash Brothers, Mario Kart, etc.

Zelda BotW is pretty great get the cards off Amazon for 9 bucks.

Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3

Xenoblade 2

Mario kart and smash

The online subscription is 30 bucks and worth it.

Fire Emblem Warriors is a good time waster

DaemonXMechanica looks like a fun smashup of the video kojima robot game and armored core.

DQXI is out

If you don't want to play on PC Bloodstained is an Igavania

Fire Emblem Three Houses

DQXI is out and is pretty great so far if you like JRPGs.

What is switch lite out now like? I think BOTW was the best game I ever played. I played it in Wii U. Yes I have a Wii U. Would the new Legend of Zelda Links Awakening play alright on Switch lite? If I am a Zelda person would I like Dragan Quest? What other RPG's would I like?
