My wife got me a Switch for my 36th birthday after years away from Nintendo and I gotta say it feels good to be back. The N64 was a big part of my youth.

I will start out by saying these joy-cons take some getting used to. So I ordered a pro controller and will probably never look back once it arrives.

Anyway, there have been so many amazing games I’ve missed out on over the years it’s hard to keep track. Hoping you all can help! Here’s my current backlog, what else should I add?

  • Metroid Dread (currently playing)
  • Metroid Prime
  • BOTW (a no-brainer)
  • Luigi’s Mansion 3
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  • DKC Tropical Freeze

Thanks!

If you're into the Zelda lore, and like hack and slash. I'd recommend both Hyrule Warriors.

Definitive Edition you'll play with a lot of familiar characters, I absolutely love tearing through enemies using the Skull Kid or Young Link who transforms into the Fierce Diety and just obliterates everything in his Path.

Age of Calamity is in the era of BOTW and it's a bit more polished and if you liked the characters in that game, you'll love to play as them. Just parrying guardian lasers with Oborousa, Riju and Link is fun but challenging. And I absolutely love brining down a Lynel with Hetsu.

I'd also recommend Super Mario 3D World (includes Bowser's Fury). Lots of fun, but shorter levels and Bowser's Fury is kind of it's own open world.

My only regret with the Switch was not getting it earlier in the console's cycle. I've put so many hours into BOTW, TOKTK, both Hyrule Warriors, Mario Odyssey and Smash Bros.
