I decided to treat myself to a switch and ordered smash and animal crossing with it, but Im looking to get maybe one more title. Im not really sure what to prioritize/what does and doesnt ever go on sale (because lolnintendo). I thought about getting that limited time Mario bundle, but Im not sure what I should get. Other than those two and Breath of the Wild (heard it sometimes goes on sale for $40 so Im waiting), what are the must haves?

Octopath Traveler ended up being one of my favorite RPGs of all time.

None tbh, like Splatoon 2 is my favorite game on the Switch but that game isn't for everyone though and I didn't enjoy some of the "must haves" games like BOTW and especially Mario Odyssey at all >_> lol

Mario+Rabbids goes on regular and deep sales because it's published by Ubisoft, not Nintendo.
Really all the Mario games are worth your time.

Xenoblade 1 and 2
Ive always heard people trash the second xenoblade but praise the first. Is there any particular reason?

Goes harder on anime tropes, more convoluted plot, and gacha mechanics generally.

Most people that hate it are the anti waifu crowd.

If you love waifus, then its the game for you

fire emblem 3 houses is a good game beyond the sim bullshit that has been tacked on since awakening, and some of the support convos are just good on a platonic level

Kirby Star Allies, a Hat in Time, Hollow Knight, Ori and the Blind Forest, Cuphead. Switch is an indie machine.

Most multi-plats from at least 3 years ago are on it too.

I would consider BotW a must buy.

I've enjoyed my time with Three Houses and Legend of Runersia. Bloodstained was also fun. But those last 2 games aren't Switch exclusives

Mario Odyssey and Zelda: Breath of the Wild are the two best games on Switch. Both 10/10.

Other than BotW and Smash as exclusives the best stuff is also third-party.

Hollow Knight, Mega Man games, Xenoblade 1, Kentucky Route Zero, Dead Cells, Katana Zero, VA-11-Hall-A are the only games I enjoyed playing on Switch and I could have played all of them aside from Xenoblade on my PS4. It was a waste of money.

The switch is my favorite way to play indies.
Hollow Knight
Owlboy
A Hat In Time
Shovel Knight

the list goes on.

As far as exclusives go, Mario Odyssey, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, Paper Mario, and Astral Chain are all great choices.

For multi platform: BotW, Bayonetta 2, Tropical Freeze, Pikmin 3, Dragon Quest XI, Doom, Skyrim, and Xenoblade Chronicles are all great games that perform well on the Switch.

Tropical Freeze
I want to play this game so bad. It's literally the only game I really, really want a switch for.

Rayman Legends is a pretty legendary platformer.

I highly recommend Ring Fit Adventure. It's some of the most fun I've had playing a video game in years. It looks like a casual game and that's understandably off-putting to some, but the developers really went above and beyond to make it feel like a credible, ambitious game that even seasoned gamers can sink their teeth into. It also received a particularly good English localization.

Don't sleep on ARMS either, it's really underrated.
