Right, I have bit the bullet and treated myself to a switch. I bought it with Luigi’s mansion 3 and also Mario kart 8 Deluxe.
I have my eye on Mario odyssey and Super Smash Brothers but what am wanting to know from the community is what games would you recommend to get on the system?
My first recommendations are…
Super Mario Maker 2
Dragon Quest XI: Echoes of An Elusive Age
Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition (and if you play it and enjoy it, consider Fire Emblem Warriors as well)

All you and Scuttlest mentioned are good, I also would recommend: (as with everything, check gameplay on Youtube to see if it’s for you)
