This is my first Nintendo system since the NES. I’ve never been a big fan of their first-party properties when I’ve played on others’ consoles, although I am interested in the Switch Zelda games.

We got Mario Kart 8 and Let’s Go Pikachu for my son (the Switch is for his birthday). I might try Let’s Go Pikachu but don’t really care for Mario Kart. I’m keeping an eye on the Ori games too.

What I’m mainly interested in is Switch games that you can’t play on the PS5 (which is my main platform). I don’t really do mobile gaming so the Switch will pretty much be a home console for all intents and purposes, so I’m also not really affected by games that are “good for Switch mobility” like Hades (as an example–I already own that on PS5).

Thanks!

    It’s a good point. I would say I don’t use them often enough to justify owning them, but I use them just enough to be okay with it. I go in spurts. I get on a Mario Maker kick and play a ton on the switch, and then I get on an emulation kick and load up a lot of retro stuff on the steam deck. But I have gone weeks or more without touching either.
