I’m including anything only available on other Nintendo systems as exclusive for this.

I’ve got a $50 eShop card I figure I should spend before gold points go away.

I have BotW. It was alright, but it didn’t excite me enough to get TotK unless it’s on a deep discount.

I’ve also already got Mario Odyssey and Metroid Prime Remastered. I have a handful of other games but they’re not Switch exclusive afaik.

I’m mostly using my Steam deck for handheld these days, so I’d rather not get anything non-exclusive on the Switch right now.

    I highly recommend the xenoblade series. 1,2, and 3 are on switch with a remake of X coming in a few months. All nintendo exclusive games well worth their cost (if you have time for a jrpg)

    I’d say Breath of the Wild/Tears of the Kingdom, but seems like that’s not what you’re looking for.

    The Paper Mario: TTYD remake is very good. Or Animal Crossing, if you’re looking for something relaxing.

    For party games, Mario Kart 8 is always fun. And of course Smash Bros Ultimate if you like that series.

    I don’t know how popular it was overall but I really enjoyed Super Mario Wonder!

    Golf Story is always a good time. It was one of those games I bought on a whim and fell in love with. Top down golf based RPG with a lot of humor and good pixel art. Have Yuzu on my Deck mainly to go back to Golf Story every once in a while.

    They made a sequel called Sports Story that wasn’t nearly as fun.

    Mario vs Rabbids surprised me with how good it was. Mario Kart 8 with the expansion pass is great, especially if you have friends to play with.
