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!

I’m 37 and just got the switch after a long, long time away from gaming. Very interested as well!

The best part about the switch is that I can play short bursts and put it away immediately without losing my spot. Key feature when you have 2 kids under 3.

Loving BOTW and Stardew Valley so far. Bought Tears of the Kingdom but playing BOTW first.
