Do you have friends or are you playing solo?

Solo: Zelda, Mario, shovel knight
Multi: overcooked, Mario kart, worms
Online: Splatoon, Mario kart, rocket league

Paladins and fortnite are online too but I haven't played enough of them to comment.

Super Mario Odyssey and Breath of the Wild are the two exclusives you should definitely check out. Third i'd say depend on what you're into;

Multiplayer shooter - Splatoon 2
Racing - Mario Kart 8
JRPGs - Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Tactical - Mario and Rabbids
Platform - Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze

There are also a bunch of other multi platform games that are awesome in handheld mode like Stardew Valley, Hollow Knight, Shovel Knight, Skyrim and Axiom Verge to name a few.

There's a huge sale on the eshop at the moment.

AP2K4 · 16 Jun 2018 at 19:58

Is Splatoon worth buying in the sale now? Are people still playing?

It's very popular, so much so that Nintendo have extended the free dlc period by another year.

Got Overcooked and Golf Story in the sale, Nintendo just shut up and take my money!

It's hugely popular. I've never once been on & had to wait for players. Not to mention it's got a decent single-player & now a single-player expansion.

For me, I'd say Zelda, Splatoon 2 & Mario Odyssey are the 3 must-have titles but it depends on your genre preferences. The greatest platformer ever is no good if you don't like platformers, for example.

Rayman legends on the switch is the best platformer I've played.

Hollow knight is brilliant , even though I am lost and don't know where to go next

Plainsong · 17 Jun 2018 at 18:47

I'm a bit lost too after 12 hours. It's great though. I've got some options as to where I can go next but when I went there previously I got wrecked. Got a new ability now so I just need to man up a little and try again!

Wilko_Dog · 17 Jun 2018 at 20:03

Fair pay. I played it on the Wii-U but it's been a while. The animation style was stunning, reminded me of hand-drawn disney in places.

Seriously excited for octopath traveler

Read recently there is supposed to be over 100 hours of gameplay. That should keep me going

Not yet but did play the original demo before and loved it. Was so captivated by the 2D-HD style they have. So unique!

Downloaded the prologue earlier.
