Im buying a Switch and cant decide the 3rd game to buy. The first two games Im getting is BoTW, Super Mario Odyssey, and Im contemplating Luigi Mansion 3 as my 3rd game, but I cant decide on that or something else. Also, how is SMT V?

Hollow Knight's great if you haven't played it, but if you want something Switch-exclusive then Three Houses is good too.

Mario Zelda and Pokemon are the "Big 3" of Nintendo. So I suggest Brilliant Daimond or Shining Pearl.

SMTV is fun so far but it's early to tell.

I definitely recommend Metroid Dread. It's my GOTY so far >_>

Don't buy Pokemon Diamond and Pearl remakes. They look like low-effort cash grabs from the leaked rom that people are playing

They're better than Sword and Shield and Diamond/Pearl are the best games in the series so a direct port style remake is infinitely better than what they did to Ruby and Sapphire.

Emerald is the best game on the series followed by Black & White. I didnt like that remake either though

Ive contemplated on these as well, but are they worth buying if youre only interested in single player?

I got smash, Pokmon, and botw as my first three.

I had a real hard time getting in to botw, which I normally dont for Zelda.

Besides that I would recommend MH Rise and Stories.

I also literally just got the ding for SMT finishing downloading... so Im obviously interested in that, but have no idea how good it is.

And I got a lot out time out of smash doing the storyboard single player thing and unlocking characters.

I still havent played it online tbh, and Ive unlocked everyone.

My top 3 most played games on Switch are Splatoon 2, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, and Xenoblade Chronicles 2. I recommend them, but it really depends on your gaming preferences as they're not really for everybody.

Luigi's Mansion 3 is a good choice.

Other potential Switch games (Nintendo):

Animal Crossing: if you like AC or "chill" games.

Astral Chain - platinum game with interesting combat system and an exclusive.

Cadence of Hyrule: rhythm rogue lite from crypt of the necro dancer devs. Very cool, unique take on Zelda.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses: SRPG with waifu elements (or is it a waifu game with SRPG mechanics?).

Hyrule Warriors games: if you know you like Warriors, these are good ones.

Mario + Rabbids: very fun, casual/lite version of xcom mechanics. Usually very cheap (going for like $15 bucks a lot), with an excellent DLC. Big recommended from jabodie thanks to the price point and quality.

Mario Party Superstars: this is one of the good Mario Party games. Recommended if you have friends/ family to play with on the couch.

Metroid Dread: the grand return of 2D Metroid. There's plenty of discussion about this game out there.

Monster Hunter Rise: game has a PC version out or on the way though, so that might be a better option if you're a PC gamer.

New Pokemon Snap: it's Pokemon Snap but new, with a decent amount of content I think if you want to do many of the tasks.

Pokemon games: they're Pokemon games. The let's go games are a nice casual take (and I personally hope we get a gen 2 let's go), and of course there's Sw/Sh.

Splatoon 2: very fun game, mostly hampered by Nintendo's dumb ass online policies. Salmon Run is a surprisingly fun mode, and the competitive multiplayer is a great experience imo. Pretty casual in a way, but quite fun with different weapons and maps.

Super Smash Bros Ultimate: I think you'll know if this game will get play time from you or not. It's the first smash I played with no items and shit, lots of characters and a great time if you have people to play with.

Xenoblade Chronicles 2: Fun JRPG with cool environments. Might need some tolerance to "weeb shit" (or maybe a lot), but I enjoyed this game immensely due to its combat system in the later parts of the game. Very slow start too.

A quick list of wii u ports worth checking out as well:

Bayonetta 1 and 2
Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Pikmin 3
Super Mario 3D World + Bowser's Fury (Bowser's Fury is great)
Xenoblade Chronicles 1

I personally liked Octopath Traveler, though it isn't for everyone. You could also get Xenoblade Chronicles 1 for Switch if you haven't already played it. And then there's Hades.

Can't go wrong with this.

Smash and Animal Crossing are also essential picks.

Edit: Although Luigi's Mansion 3 is a blast, too, so if you do decide to go with that, you'll still have a great time.

Dread is the best but it's very short. Three Houses will last the longest and is pretty good.
