PC / xbox+playstation / switch are almost completely separate markets. It has never entered my mind that "I should buy an xbox/playstation", not once. I have had NES, (original) game boy, SNES, gamecube, wii, and now a switch. It's not about the switch being cheaper than current-gen high-end consoles, it's that the games that are exclusives for those consoles just don't appeal to me.

Please tell me the switch games that you enjoyed the most. I am able to properly emulate the switch on yuzu but I just can't find enjoyable games, contrary to on my PS3 emulator.

The entire first party library of Nintendo Games have been great, many of which are ports from the WiiU.

My personal favorites: Mario Odyssey, Mario 3D World, Luigi's Mansion 3, Breath of the Wild, Pikmin3, and Captain Toad.

My son is really into Splatoon 2, Minecraft Dungeons, and Mario Maker.

My wife plays all the Pokémon/Animal Crossing/Harvest Moon games.

We'll be playing the new Kirby game this evening.

Thanks for sharing, I'll give them a try (this and crash bandicoot). I already played breath of the wild and it is a technological prodigy however I felt the open world was too open/free and not enough filled with narration.

That's why I bought and played Breath of the Wild. It sure beats an experience like GTA V's single player where I can't seem to go five minutes without some NPC talking. I dreaded everytime I opened a car door.

There are many, most of which are wildly famous by now: Zelda: Breath of the Wild, Super Mario Odyssey, Smash Ultimate, Animal Crossings: New Horizons...

Even a lot of the not-so-famous titles are great, like Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle.

I've either played and didn't like, or never played to begin with, almost every single game mentioned in the sibling comments.

My favorites: Towerfall, Bastion, Transistor, Pikuniku, untitled goose game, Stardew valley, Kentucky route zero.

Towerfall is like Smash Brothers Lite Lite, I love it.
