Dominic,

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
