For me , its mario and zelda as i never owned a nintendo system and probably never will.
I'd love to try them out but none of my friends own a switch.
There are'nt even trail stations or nintendo stores in my country ( india).
If all that is'nt reason enough, nintendo games are way too overpriced here in india and they never go on sale.
Had terrific experiences on my playstation consoles over the years and will continue to do so.

I'd probably emulate zelda and mario on my pc if i have to.

Yeah I can't blame you if that's your situation. That's tough. I'd personally say emulation is completely fair in this scenario, since if Nintendo doesn't bother to get their games to you, then it's their fault if you have to pirate them. I'd even say it'd be good for them if you emulated them, since if they ever do make a serious effort to sell games in India, you'll have more experience with their games and know what you like and can recommend them to friends. If you have to emulate, Ocarina of Time on 64 and A Link to the Past on SNES are a good place to start with Zelda to decide if you like the 3D or 2D style better, and Super Mario World on SNES and Super Mario 64 would be the equivalent for Mario.
