Dominic, do gaming w I finally got a Switch! What now?

Nintendo’s exclusives are where the Switch really shines. Unfortunately, they’re expensive. I’ll echo the DekuDeals recommendation for finding sales.

Other Nintendo titles that are worthwhile, aside from the obvious Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom and depending on your tastes:

  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Mario Kart 8
  • Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
  • Animal Crossing New Horizons
  • Splatoon 3 (2 is good too, but 3 is an improvement and more active)
  • Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
  • Pikmin (the whole series)
  • Metroid Dread
  • Metroid Prime Remastered
  • Fire Emblem Three Houses
  • Pokemon Legends Arceus

There are also tons of great indie games that play well on Switch (especially handheld):

  • Hades
  • Dead Cells
  • Hollow Knight
  • Slay the Spire
  • Into the Breach
  • Shovel Knight
hotchurkey,

I’ll add Stardew Valley for indie titles as well. I have hundreds of hours between both switch and PC, and the Switch is a great platform for it.

limeaide,

Katana Zero and Hotline Miami are also great games

E-Shop is very feature poor compared to Steam. I use Deku Deals to get notified when something I want goes on sale. They offer a pricing history as well to gauge how often a title has price cuts.

TheOakTree,

Hijacking top comment:

Thinking of picking up Dragon’s Dogma: Dark Arisen ($4.99), Okami HD ($9.99) and maybe Spyro Reignited Trilogy ($15.99) from the eShop.

Anything I should be wary about regarding performance on the Switch?

Caramel,

Just remember the handheld usually runs in a lower rez and you’ll be fine :)

TheOakTree,

Well of course, I’m not expecting it to run like my desktop lol

Not exactly what and nowhere as detailed as you’re asking for but possibly the closest thing to it. The site aims to provide pertinent information before you start a game. This can be tips, background info, general info, easy to miss quests/vendors/NPCs and more.

Note: Due to the nature of the website, sometimes there are spoilers. They are usually fairly minor.

I’ve been wanting to create a “catch up” resource for any sort of media, but I don’t have the time nor the skills to do so. I imagine, though, that within a few years you can tell Chat GPT the last thing that happened in the story and it can bring you up to speed.

bh11235,

I think ChatGPT can do a decent job of this already. Example.

CylustheVirus, do gaming w Working parents, how do you find time to game?

I found a job that doesn’t ask me for 50 hours a week and they go to bed at a reasonable hour. But don’t ask me what I’m not spending enough time doing, like working out. Or how much we spend on takeout (way, WAY too much). And on top of that I have pretty great family support.

Basically, it’s hard even under ideal conditions with some less than great compromises.

alxhghs, do gaming w Working parents, how do you find time to game?

Recently my wife and I agreed on me having one set night a week for gaming and it’s been great. I get my gaming time in but it’s a reasonable amount considering all the other responsibilities of work and parenting

cabbagee,

One night of personal time for each parent is the real LPT here.

minutnudler,

We have this as well. Wednesday night is CS GO with the boys for me. Sometimes I skip it, but it’s nice to have it planned out, when everything else feels like chaos.

I think the genre you are looking for is "immersive sims". Notable historical examples are Thief, Deus Ex, and System Shock.

tokyo jungle is like this, although not limited to playing as cats. cats are one of many animals you can play as

hamiltonicity, do gaming w Stray really disappointed me. I want a real cat game.

Have you tried Shelter 2? It’s not quite the same thing, but you play a lynx with five adorable cubs trying to survive in a wilderness setting. (Warning: your playthrough will likely involve some or all of your adorable cubs dying.)

@didleth@szmer.info avatar

Komunizm miał dać wszystkim po równo i sprawiedliwie, faszyzm zapewnić byt klasie pracującej i narodowi - jednocześnie kierując przedstawicieli innych narodów tam gdzie rzekomo ich miejsce, sztywne przypisanie ludzi do zawodu - sprawić że wszystko będzie profesjonalne, bo nie będą się do tego zabierały przypadkowe osoby itp. W zasadzie każda patologia dbała też o dobry marketing.

Btw - przeprowadzono kiedyś eksperyment teoretyczny. Ludzie mogli wybrać zasady, które będą obowiązywały na całym świecie - z zastrzeżeniem, że się w tym świecie urodzą i nie mają wpływu na to gdzie i w jakich warunkach. Czyli szansę na to, że urodzą się na bogatej północy mieli procentowo adekwatną do liczby ziemskiej populacji itp. I - w powyższej perspektywie - większość opowiedziała się za rozwiązaniami lewicowymi. Z powodów oczywistych. Libertarianizm (czyli de facto jedno z prawicowych rozwiązań) zazwyczaj wybierają ci, którzy chcą budować swoją “wolność” cudzym kosztem. Innymi słowy - nie, ta patologia nie powinna być “złotym środkiem”, bo jest właśnie patologią, a nie złotym środkiem

    Now I’m imagining an MMO built around an expanded Teeheeti, from Ni No Kuni.

    But now I get to chuckle at fairy shenanigans, so it works out.
