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.

TOTK makes BOTW look like a simple tech demo. I wasn't very whelmed with BOTW, either, but I am glad I checked out TOTK because it is, IMO, the best exclusive on the system.

I do agree that TotK was a better game than BotW, though I can also see how someone who may not love the BotW model wouldn't be enamored with TotK either.

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.

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.

Smash Bros Ult - I probably have played over 2k hours playing online and tournaments.

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)

Huge fan but I didn’t want to buy a Wii U for one game
