Looking to build up my switch games library some and looking for suggestions.

I currently have:

Animal Crossing
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Mario Kart 8
Metroid Dread
Monster Hunter Stories 2
Rune Factory 4
Super Mario Odyssey
TLoZ Breath of the Wild
Xenoblade 1
Xenoblade 2

I've had Smash Ultimate on long term loan as well. I want to get Xenoblade 3 and Triangle Strategy, but beyond those two games I'm a bit lost on what to look for. I'm not really looking for multiplayer games. I wouldn't have Mario Kart if it weren't a gift and it's the same reason I don't have my own copy of Smash.

I haven't played a Pokemon since Black 2, so I have been eyeing one for Switch. It's kind of a toss up between Arceus, or Scarlet/Violet. So, if anyone has played both and can recommend one over the other that'd be helpful.

I'd lean more towards getting games that are exclusive and/or rpgs, but I'm flexible on both criteria.

Mario + Rabbids

Bloodstained: Ritual of the Night
Cult of the Lamb

Hollow Knight is worth a look. Kind of odd aesthetic, but it's a fun updated Metroidvania sort of game.

Creature in the Well
A Robot Named Fight
Tinykin
I Was A Teenage Exocolonist
Dorfromantik
Rogue Legacy 2
A Plague Tale: Requiem
Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge
Tunic
Return to Monkey Island
Kirby and the Forgotten Land
Signalis
Citizen Sleeper

^ Some of these are available on other platforms. Plague Tale is better on stronger hardware but plays well enough on Switch if that's your only option. I'll think up some more.

I've played way more Pokemon Violet than I have Arceus, but it's not really for any good reason. Arceus is soooo cool and very fun. It does way more 'different' with Pokemon than Violet/Scarlett. Even though Violet/Scarlett are arguably very different from most previous Pokemon games, it still retains a bit more of the classic mechanics. Pretty loosely though. Arceus just has better art design, less whacky performance issues and is very unique and fun.

Non-Exclusives:
Celeste
Castlevania Advance Collection
DOOM 1, 2, 3 + 64. Just really cool that they keep updating these.
Final Fantasy 7, 8, 9, 10, 12

Exclusives:
Part Time UFO
Splatoon 3
Super Mario Maker 2
Mario Party Superstars
Luigi's Mansion 3

Return of Obra Dinn
Another Sight
Ender Lilies
Record of Lodoss War
Crisis Core - next week
Resident Evil REmake and Zero

Return of Obra Dinn

Loved this game.

Fire Emblem: Three Hopes is surprisingly extremely good. It has one of the better battle systems of all musous (and the best ally AI strength balancing I've seen- allies will actually wipe out enemies pretty fast if they're in a good matchup), and the story- while overall shorter than Three Houses- is almost the same level of quality. It's got a demo covering the first few chapters where the story begins to diverge massively, go check it out.

It's also pretty regularly on sale for $30~.
