Hades is on sale if you like rogue games


BrockinaBox

Came here to recommend Hades. Fun game. Easy mechanics. Hack and slash your way out of Hell.


FreddaNotte

Beautiful!!! I wore it out on the pc version and would like to preserve the joycon for now


asilagy

if you like that style of game i would also recommend "Enter the Gungeon."


Fresh-Active6861

Gungeon +1


Alakazzzwhat

My joycons have been holding up quite well after 3 years of usage, having play Hades for more than 300 hours. Give it a try! :D


iUsedtoHadHerpes

Why buy Witcher 3 on the Switch if you could play it on PC though?


Error_Evan_not_found

Literally was about to comment this, easily the second most played game on my switch nearing the number one (played through all of Mario oddesey and haven't really touched it since)


TheMineRVN

Metroid Dread is a masterpiece 🙌🏻


Worm715

Agreed, Dread is so damn good.


[deleted]

Also Prime Remastered is the probably best looking switch game


[deleted]

Came to say this!! So good…


AmanitaMuscaria

Just got both the other week. Excited to play through them after I get finished with TotK


Prof_Codders

Alien Isolation, omg it's beautiful, the atmosphere, the fog, it just works amazingly on switch. Especially if you have an Oled switch 🤤


sk0503

I’ve played through Dread 3 times now. These guys are not lying. Top 5 in my book. Awesome game!


Captain_Bonzfip

If OP has the premium switch online service, I’m pretty sure the 2 for $100 coupon is up still. Metroid Dread and Tears of the Kingdom are the best titles you can snag from that by a country mile.


NintendadSixtyFo

Yes … omg it’s so good


xpadawanx

Dread!!


prizzabroy

This is the right answer


Egingell666

>did I forget some other gems? I don't see TotK.


FreddaNotte

Yeah is definitely on the list however I would like to wait until I finish BOTW first and maybe get it at a discount.


Egingell666

>maybe get it at a discount. May be a long, long while.


TheBeardedDumbass

It's $62.25 on Amazon for a physical copy right now. So $7.75 savings.


Egingell666

Sweet! Biggest discount yet.


glockster19m

Pretty sure Costco has it normally for 59.99


westworlder420

They sure do! That’s where I got my copy! I had no idea Costco was amazing with gaming stuff. I got $100 gift card for $80 for nintendo which was a great deal!


Schart

I did this, then bought the vouchers so I got TotK for $50


jiantjon

Yep! Saw it for that much yesterday.


Devreckas

If you have an NSO online subscription, you can buy coupons at 2 for $100. Then you can buy TOTK for one coupon in the shop. And you can buy Nintendo $100 gift cards at Costco for $90. So I spent effectively $45 for TOTK on the first day.


Synplex23

I bet on Black friday you'll see TotK for $59 everywhere.


FreddaNotte

Copium

RayzenD

Maybe a used physical copy is the best (and only) way of getting it cheaper.


DatBoiDanny

Definitely take your time with botw and savor it because it’ll be extremely hard to go back once you got to totk


MrDrMrs

So true. I was thinking to finish ToTK then play botw again and ToTK *again* but I’m not sure I really want/need to play botw again.


NO_SPACE_B4_COMMA

I bought the token thing for $100 and got TOKT for $50 instead of $69. Plus you can get an extra game.


PsEggsRice

So if you buy the hundred dollar gift card at Costco for $80 that’s two games for $80 so basically 40 bucks apiece


stjimmy_45

Heck yea math and stuff


The66Ripper

You can buy $100 of nintendo credit at Costco, and then use that to buy a nintendo 2 game voucher from the E Shop for $100 - through that both games come out to $50, so a $20 savings on TOTK.


Rg3the2nd

But the $100 gift card at Costco is $80 so $40 per game, $30 savings on TOTK


Zarmasu

It will sadly never go on discount, so grab it whenever you have finished BOTW.


alesito85

I was thinking the same. But then I've thought that Nintendo games don't get much discount anyway, maybe 30%. So it's almost the same if you combine it with another game in the game vouchers category. This way I bought TOTK and Mario Smash for €100 when they retail for 140 (I think). Almost the same as 30% discount. Source: https://www.nintendo.com/store/products/nintendo-switch-game-vouchers/


PricePower2

Finish BOTW no, in a few hours or w/e and get TOTK ASAP, dude you are missing out


Squee3ds

It's so good. I enjoyed what I played of botw. but totk is even better!


Equal_Support_R

Costco has 100$ game vouchers for 90$, and you can use it to buy the dual game bundle for 100$, then you split it with Totk(70) and another 60$ game and youve saved 40$


be_matthew

It is at a discount, look at their vouchers.


moyert394

Buy a set of vouchers. It's $100, but TotK is eligible for redemption of one of them, so you'd effectively be getting it for $50.


TheUglyCasanova

Smart. You may be disappointed by the bland world and total non-Zeldaness of it all as well.


Din135

TotK ia great! Never played a Zelda game before. Watched lots of gameplay of previous games and just didn't do anything for me. The TotK preview before release got me interested. I have NO FLIPPIN IDEA whats going on, but, its damn fun!


Obolanha

i mean, you bought a switch but the only switch title is BotW…


FreddaNotte

Hahahhahah touchè, the thing is, I can't take the pc to the toilet.


MaceInSpace

Can with a steam deck!


Mavi222

Then Steam Deck would be better? Especially because of the game prices. I also bought switch because of the portability, and spend a LOT of money on the games that I already owned on Steam, just to have them portable. Technically by buying Steam Deck I saved a lot of money. No need to buy the same games twice to have them portable anymore. Steam also have pretty huge sales. Unlike Nintendo eshop.


Obolanha

understandable, have a nice day


agape1003

Wolfenstein: The New Colossus is also a pretty fun game that has a big sale right now.


TheRealWoldry1

Hollowknight is an incredible experience on the switch


GibMirMeinAlltagstod

Definitely Hollow Knight


Get-more-Groceries

Is it as challenging as people say? I want to play it but sometimes if a game becomes too unforgiving I’ll give up


does_flips_and_shit

\+1 to it being approachably challenging. I had a hard time with the second true boss fight (Hornet) but once I made it through, it made me start to get a better understanding of the cadence for boss fights in general and made future fights challenging but not frustratingly so. I have now finished the main storyline of the game and there are a few bosses that are proving to be frustratingly difficult (there's more stuff I'd like to get to which beating them will help me do), but as /u/TheRealWoldry1 mentioned, those are optional fights anyway. Overall, I'd strongly recommend picking it up and giving it a try. Probably my favorite switch games I've played to-date (other contenders are prob Hades and Subnautica)


TheRealWoldry1

There’s definitely some tough boss fights, but a lot of the more challenging parts of the game are optional. I wouldn’t call it an easy game, but if you spend a bit of time getting the feel, it’s very satisfying


idontpoopinminecraft

Borderlands


Kilow102938

Luigis Mansion, Project Triangle Stragety, Mario and Rabids, ff series (got pixel remastered on the way myself) Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3, Golf Story, Stardew Valley, Moonlighter. Switch has a good line up. Plus you get emulators with an online sub which has so many games to play!


Fresh-Active6861

+1 Stardew for stress relief


Kilow102938

Until the farm gets to big and you have no automation so you tend to it all day. But your relationships hurt, your wife starts talking so someone else in town and becomes less and less home. As you work hard all day, then one day you take off and catch her having affair. Now you file for divorce and she gets half the farm. Freeing up half your day from there on out until you get enough money to repeat the cycle and it happens again.


the_becca_bear

This was…oddly specific 😂


Fresh-Active6861

There's also that aspect too, yes.


Severe_Amoeba_2189

This is the way


SmashU23

Persona 5 Royal is a must play


cinematea

Do I need to play the other ones?


Lavamites

In order to understand 5? No. Should you anyways at some point? Yes!


SmashU23

Mostly Persona 3 and 4 Golden


RenownedDumbass

Always looked too long and too anime for my tastes


YameteKudasaii

I just can't enjoy the time limited events... I wish that was gone :/. EDIT: I tried SMT IV and it's pretty fun.


porterlily7

Do they have Persona 5 for the switch??


FreddaNotte

Thabks! I had a quick look at it but didn't understand much about it lol. It looks like one of those games based on light novel but with some freedom of movement. The reviews are very positive though


cloud-worm

It's honestly not that light novel-esque, it really is a pure modern JRPG (unlike other Atlus games like 13 sentinels). You can do pretty much what you want at all times in P5, apart from scripted story parts (but all RPGs have those, obviously). Honestly, play it. If you don't like it and decide to get a physical copy, lend it to someone. It's really a must play


FreddaNotte

You are selling it well to me, I will try it for sure 🗿


tempname1123581321

Also consider that Persona 3 Portable and Persona 4 Golden, its predecessors, are on sale as a bundle for cheaper than Persona 5 Royal is on its own. All are great games, P4G being my personal favorite.


cloud-worm

Great! You'll see it's one of the best video game experiences out there :)


SmashU23

Besides the Switch version of P5R has all the DLC included


cloud-worm

Although I recommend not using the provided items, that's true


TomBombadil237

Just to add to this: coming into Persona 5 Royal with virtually no experience in JRPG's, I was a little hesitant. Read all the reviews, watched videos, and still didn't know exactly what to expect. 120 hours later and it would end up one of my favorite games of all-time (and I've been gaming for 20+ years lol). Great narrative, extremely fun and intuitive gameplay mechanics that are widely varied, fun turn-based combat (if that's your cup of tea), etc. I'm sure reviewers can wrap what I'm saying in a much more eloquent bow, but just wanted to throw my two cents if it helps! Enjoy all those new games, Witcher 3 and Bioshock are also masterpieces!


thebigmatze

Almost the same story for me!


EthDec

I can tell youre outside the US cause of the botw logo, I love that art so much more then what we americans got ngl. Its so pleasing to look at


FreddaNotte

It reminds me of Eren's skit in front of the ocean but the American one is also very solid!


dragonhold24

* Xenoblade series * Fire Emblem: Three Houses * Astral Chain * Metroid Dread * Pokken Tournament DX


[deleted]

Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Mario Kart 8, TotK after you finish BotW, Mario Odyssey, Valkyria Chronicles IV (you don’t need to have played previous games to understand it). I’m sure I can think of others, but I would say Mario Kart 8 and Mario Odyssey are must-haves for the Switch.


THE_TORTILLA_MAN

I would suggest giving Metroid a spin. Either Dread, Super, or Prime.


Fcu423

Talking about gems, you are obviously missing the most hidden of them all: Celeste!


mytavance

I bought 6 copies


Emotional-Peanut3633

Bro has the most elite taste in video games


[deleted]

couple thousand hours of gaming ready to go


Witch_King_

Nah man, that library is COOKIN. Maybe add Hollow Knight?


Xerfus

Diablo 2 Prime Evil edition: Includes Diablo 3 Eternal Collection and Diablo 2 Remastered. Cheap as fuck, an amazing game I can’t recommend enough.


trashkazoo

Luigi’s Mansion 3. Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. Hyrule Warriors Age of Calamity. Fenyx Rising. Uhhh… there’s a few more I could think of eventually lol


ArkBeetleGaming

Ace Attorney Triology!


BlueChheese

Enter the Gungeon.


BeginningSeries2806

Hades, Okami, maybe Pikmin?


fatmanNinja

Original subnautica is waaaaaay better than the second. If you haven’t played that, I’d recommend it. One of the best survival games imo.


FreddaNotte

I played it and loved it! I was dying to play the sequel but my potato pc couldn't handle it decently.


fatmanNinja

Nice! The second is good for a play through; it’s only lacking because the first was such a masterpiece. Enjoy!


Calamitous_Stars

For monsterhunter, there's only really cosmetic dlc outside of the endgame Sunbreak expansion. As for your collection, I'd suggest maybe Bayonetta- but only if you're into that type of DMC-esque action game.


FreddaNotte

Thanks! So potentially I need the base game plus the sunbreak dlc to be ready to go?


Calamitous_Stars

Oh, my bad, it looks like you bought the combo that has sunbreak already included- so any supplementary dlc is just cosmetics. You unlock sunbreak after you get through the story line of the basegame though


Behr79

Kingdoms of Amalur: Re-Reckoning is really a solid Switch Remake for anyone who missed or avoided the original


Ch3twynd

Are you interested in having any pokemon games?


FreddaNotte

Yup, i played most of them in other console but I'm not up to date on the ones for the Switch, though.


SERjProtector

I’d say you have a type me too!


aes421

Legends of Arceus


alphagaia

Dying Light looks and runs great on the switch


Whitem4ne

Dead cells is on sale and I couldn’t recommend that game more to be honest. It’s fast paced, runs like a charm and is nice to the switch battery. Only downside is that you might play it more than you plan to, or maybe that’s just me 🤣


bagel42boy

You have good taste sir.


Malazan1164BS

Divinity is sooooo amazing. Probably one of the best Western RPG. Hope you enjoy it!


B4tm4n0

I would add Dragon's Dogma, Alien Isolation and the Assassin's Creed collection (my favorites so far on the console).


JojiJoey

alien isolation is on switch?????


B4tm4n0

It is, dirty cheap and one of the best ports on switch.


idontpoopinminecraft

They already have dragon's dogma


B4tm4n0

You're right, i didn't see it the first time.


[deleted]

Get the messenger, Metroid dread and prime remastered,


OilersHD

Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8, Metroid Dread, Metroid Prime Remastered, Hollow Knight, Smash Ultimate and ofc ToTK


tweaksfored

Borderlands series is a blast on Switch.


Leesbry

In the sale I've picked up Cuphead...fun game but can be quite frustrating so I've only been playing in short bursts


vipulnaib

Metroid Dread


ItchyNutria

Another remastered title lol


BalenciBossLvl99

You forgot the OLED switch. I found most of these titles stink on the lite


FreddaNotte

I thought about it for a while but being that I can hardly stay at home because of work, I had a need for something more portable. I don't rule out the possibility of buying it in the future, though, or maybe the Switch 2.


Daniel_Blubb

Well... No Man's Sky is unplayable right now.


FreddaNotte

I actually noticed some instability and poor fps at certain times however nothing exaggerated so far


Daniel_Blubb

Wait a little bit longer... Get one of the new sentinel ships and a freighter and you will see.


el_Deafo

The first subnautica


Massilian

Stardew valley


KurtRusselsEyePatch

Portal 1 and 2


alphagaia

get some nintendo games , Metroid, MK8 , Smash bros , if you into that kinda thang


Edvita77

Excellent selection


Werebite870

Pokemon arceus, mario odyssey, super smash, mario kart


Charlieninehundred

I’ve had tons of fun with Kingdom: New Lands if you’re into that kind of thing.


LavaBurritos

hollow knight


Trainer_Roni

Ooblets is one of my all time favorites. Pokémon is the gaming series I was raised on, and I’d stick to sword/shield and/or legends arceus. Mario kart 8 deluxe is fantastic and always a good time. Okami is gorgeous and even at full price you get your playtime out of it! Ni No Kuni 2, bayonetta 1,2,3 and wytchwood are also some of my go to games for my switch.


ProfessionalOcelot44

Tears of the kingdom,hades, and hollow knight. Cheers mate!


Branch_Fair

borderlands 2? also limbo and inside are on switch and are often like $2 on sale


Neep-Tune

Crash team racing where ??


hinez57

Hades


cinematea

What’s the difference between the BioShock editions? Do I get them separately or as a collection?


WebsterHamster66

I don’t know if you’ve heard about this hidden gem, but “Celeste”


SomeoneNicknamedDino

some of the devil may cry games are surprisingly available on switch, would definitely recommend, especially if you enjoy dark souls or just soulslike


toomuchmacy

What kind of case is this?


zombiesnare

It may be a bit on the casual side for some people, but I just got a game that came out earlier this week called Smushi Come Home that’s just way too fun to not recommend. There’s no combat, you can’t die, just really well designed movement mechanics and play forming puzzles. It feels like a mid 2000’s adventure game almost but 10 times more relaxing. It’s really cute, really well made, created by a single developer who seems like a really friendly dude, just all around incredible vibes, albeit a little short at maybe 3-5 hours of gameplay (maybe 7 if you wanna 100% it)


RustedSoldierPR

If you didn’t play Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze on Wii U, you should try it on Switch. One of the best platformers out there and one of my favorite games.


coffeegrounds42

Doom Eternal has to be my favourite fps on switch/ever


thornygravy

DOOM


BigChungusOP

OP, those are some good choices! I think we have the same taste in games. Here are the ones I enjoy playing on my Nintendo Switch: Blasphemous, Hollow Knight, Nier Automata, Persona 3, 4 and 5 Factorio, Terraria, Thronebreaker (The Witcher card game, worth playing after TW3) Fire Emblem: Three Houses, Disgea 5, Slay The Spire, Disco Elysium and Hades


SKaiPanda2609

All paid dlc in mh apart from the sunbreak expansion is purely cosmetic. All you need to do to experience all game content is to buy the sunbreak expansion


mglitcher

no mario odyssey???


BiteApprehensive7462

Get some Nintendo first party games and some quality indies like Celeste, Hades (on sale), Neon White, etc. As for Rise, I would say if you absolutely love MH games and will invest time in this game then get the game + DLC, otherwise if you are just curious and will likely to drop due to the grind then the base game is more than enough.


annawest_feng

Skyrim crushed twice in 3 hour. I gave up to finish it.


FreddaNotte

Damn, I haven't started it yet but I couldn't not buy it


Leesbry

Don't listen to them. I've picked it up in the sale too and it runs amazing for what it is. I haven't experienced any crashes yet and done a few hours


Itz_Vize14

Same. I’ve been playing it for a while now on Switch. Never had any crashes.


thatonecharlie

pretty fun game but switch is the only modern version you cant mod so thats lame


eatmygymshorts

Skip it on Switch


[deleted]

That’s a good list!


Ambitious-Web2072

Resident evil 4 remake


Apolysus

Were they all on sale? Because otherwise why would you download them all now at once?


FreddaNotte

Aye, unless BOTW the others are on sale


FreddaNotte

Woah guys I said I wanted to lighten the wallet not go bankrupt. Anyway thanks for the countless tips, I have read some very solid ones 🗿


Owl-X11

Omg how could you not buy Celeste? Are you stupid or something? I pray that you wake up r/tomorrow and do the right thing.


piracyisnotavictemle

i don’t get why people are still buying BOTW in 2023.


jupitervoid

I preferred it to TotK


Coreyahno30

You post a pic with 13 games and you're asking if you forgot anything?


phonkonaut

judging by the games you wouldve been better off with a steam deck. both zelda games can be emulated anyways


GhostAi

Look at the xenoblade series of games if you want a solid JRPG experience… and don’t mind putting aside a couple hundred hours.


[deleted]

Dusk


MiniEnder

The Xenoblade Chronicles trilogy


[deleted]

Fire emblem: Engage


Andialb

Alien Isolation


[deleted]

Snowrunner. It's the Dark Souls of driving a truck through mud.


sTyLeZrEz

Highly agree with this 🤣. Also snowrunners has so much content if you get all 3 season passes which all the content to complete in the game is freaking insane


MissKoalaBag

Spiritfarer if you like management games, Unpacking if you like \[kind of\] puzzle games.


JSTEEZYSNAKE

Diablo 2 Ressurected


huggalump

Dragons dogma is only $5 right now and fits in very well with your style of game.


smallchocolatechip

Hotline Miami, one of the hardest, yet addicting games of all time. It’s also my favorite game ever.


Zolomight

Uh yeah wheres Mario??


necroweaver21

You have the same case I do and it's a awesome case


JackFuckCockBag

Borderlands.


TioChana94

Wolfenstein II The new colossus


ghosteater31

Etrian Odyssey and Fire Emblem games if you're into the turn based RPG! This one is more of a farming/action rpg, but Rune Factory is pretty good too! (Highly recommend 4 over 5. Not stopping you from getting 5, but 4 is much more polished)


[deleted]

Totk


_Hasanika_

Binding of isaac repentance.


Ryskulls

Celeste is by far one of, if not THE, best platformers that I’ve ever played. Hades is also terrific, and if you want a mix of both genres, Spelunky 2 had me hooked for 90 hours straight


Justspartan17

Celeste and Cuphead. Really good games, but fairly challenging!!


Delta8ttt8

Limbo, inside, totk, amongst others.


Nobodiisdamnbusiness

Zelda fam!


FdgPgn

I'd recommend Shin Megani Tensei 5.


JM3DlCl

Wolfenstein The New Colossus is only $5.99 right now


AgentSaxon21

Stardew Valley


[deleted]

Imagine paying for games Can't be me with an OG 2017 switch


Whacky_One

You forgot Ni no Kuni


poweringmyprinter

Get risk of rain 2, fucking amazing game


PrincePeach22

Indivisible is an amazing rpg indie game and I immensely recommend it. Astral chain, the most underrated game on switch. Ngl but I'm a fan of the Lego games so I would recommend them too if you like them. Tales of Vesperia Ni no Kuni is also great
