Neat.

Now I hope you good spatial memory or prepare yourself to draw your own map will playing the first game 🤭

If you insist on playing the whole series, I'd start with Metroid one then. Otherwise it will feel like a huge step back. Either that or Other M, so you'll have nowhere to go but up.

Downloading Paper Mario TTYD, will be my first PM game. Should be a year of firsts for me on Switch, got XC3 at 50hrs that I’ll finish up after PM which will be the first XC I ever finish. Any game franchises I should play on Switch?? I was never a Nintendo fan growing up so I've barely played any Nintendo franchises.

Give Xenoblade 1 and 2 a shot if you haven't already. Do it in that order, as I think 2 is a slightly weaker link and you should save for last.

Fire Emblem: Three Houses

Super Smash Bros. Ultimate

Super Mario Odyssey

Super Mario Bros. Wonder

Zelda: Breath of the Wild and Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom

Luigi's Mansion 3

Super Mario Maker 2

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Animal Crossing: New Horizons

Those are my biggest recommendations. 

What kind of games are you into? Any particular genres?

Imma guess if you're playing XC3, you either have played XC2/XC DE too or going too after it because I'll warn you about going straight into it's DLC story of you haven't 😅

Anywoo, clearly you'll have to tell us about kind of game you're gunning for on the Switch.

Since you're playing PM TTYD, I guess PM Origami King would also be a good candidate to look for.

Also if you like your platformers, DK Tropical Freeze, Kirby and The Forgotten Land, Super Mario Odyssey, 3D World + Bowser's Fury and Wonder are must own of the genre.

In the meantime, Metroid Dread, Pikmin 4 or Luigi's Mansion 3 could be great additions to your library too.

Also, if you haven't played one of the two 3D Zelda on the consoles yet, prolly go for Tears of the Kingdom straight up. It's more feature rich than it's predecessor.

Haven't talked about the bigger evergreens too like Smash or MK8 DX lol.

That was also just 1st party, there's a pretty nice sleuth of 3rd party games depending on what you own on other platforms but I guess it's "better" to own it elsewhere due to better performance on other platforms, if that's a point of contention for you.

RPGs are my go to genre, think I just enjoy rewarding gameplay loops :P

Xenoblade Chronicles:  I’ve never played XC1 and from what I played of XC2 I didn’t enjoy it, it just didn’t click. XC3 tho I’m enjoying. If Switch got a XCX port that be great as (I never finished it but) it was a lot of fun. 

Luigi’s Mansion 3/Animal Crossing NH: AC:NH is fantastic and LM3 was a random purchase a few yrs ago that I enjoyed quite a bit and finished.

Zelda: Only ever finished WWHD. Playing TotK here and there, gonna get back into it properly once I’ve finished a few of my current games. 

The other stuff I haven’t played, the main platformers, Fire Emblem and Pikimin etc. I’ll check out some demos. 

Thanks. 

Well RPG wise there's Bravely Default II, Octopath Traveler, Fire Emblem Three Houses/Engage if you like strategy RPGs, Pokemon Legends Arceus, Live a Live, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, and Neo The World Ends With You.

As far as rewarding loops in general I'd throw in Astral Chain, Metroid Dread, Splatoon 2 and 3, Lunistice, and Mario Odyssey/Wonder in addition to the ones you've mentioned.

If you don't have an Xbox or just want to play portably the two Ori games are also fantastic.

Oh well, at least you managed to tell with the series, so you do you really haha. 

But if this is about RPGs, it goes to say that I'd recommend Fire Emblem Three Houses.

Octopath Traveler 2, Shin Megami Tensei V(The Vengeance edition is coming though) Triangle Strategy, Dragon Quest XI S and Live A Live are great games also available on the platform if you're wondering about too 👌

I finished the story mode for Dragon Ball Fighter Z yesterday.

Going into Arcade mode. 23 hours into it so far.
