I mean you are going to regret because there won't be any game you want to buy.
Mario and Zelda is possibly the 2 top game on Switch lifetime.
Most anticipated games will be Pokemon/Monster hunter/animal crossing  (super lengthy game)

Splatoon 2 and Arms are casual game yes but they are also online games, unless you happen to have a lot of data to spend, handheld online is not the best way. As for indie games, a lot of them are not coming to Switch, might as well play it on a laptop.
You have a PC or something? Or just totally uninterested in today's game except for Nintendo games?

PC games mainly..
hopefully FIFA comes soon to Switch

Ic. Thanks for the reply. Hope can get my switch soon.
Btw, have you guys check out Nintendo indies YouTube video titled nindies? A lof of games, indeed.

Mk8 deluxe is a must. Now for below probably wait for sales. Yeah, no Zelda or mario odyssey. I don't think I have the time for RPG anymore sad.gif
Splatoon 2
Arms
Puyo puyo Tetris
Stardew valley
Fast rmx

If you're not getting Zelda with the Switch.... then there's no point getting the switch at all as all other games are not nearly as good as this.
If you want portable indies, you might as well just get a Vita.

As a game, Zelda is pretty good. This is the first Zelda I've played in 10 years and I must say there is a very strong reason why this is the strongest GOTY contender.
It's very well polished. IMO, more so than most RPG on PS4 lately (which are already great in their own right)
I don't think time is a problem though. You can literally save and fast travel anytime you want.

MK8 deluxe is great, I bought it yesterday via the Jap E-shop.
Technically my first mario kart game, but I've been playing similar games on the PS1 and PS2 many many years ago.
Although it's not exactly worth the full price and I don't there will be a sale anytime soon for the Switch.

Ic. Well, from what I've searched about switch game list so far, I'm already satisfied. I'll worry about 2018 and beyond when it comes. as working adult with commitments, time is limited after all

I've only played once mario kart in wii that I rented. Vita is no longer supported from Sony, so not really futureproof

I've only played the retro times Zelda and I'm more of final fantasy fan. Which FFXV is a fun game but story wise a disappointment. I'll consider about BOTW, thanks!

Well...Without the AAA titles, the switch is just an overpriced vita at the moment. It will change in the future, but if so.... you might as well get it in the future.

Having spent 60 hours + on both games.
I say Zelda botw is far more polished than FF15.
While FF 15 requires patches and in some ways feel like an unfinished game, botw is not.

I still like the lore, characters and the world FF is in, but it just feels incomplete. Esp the second half.

Go ahead and try. Besides, you will want a game to show off the switch prowess and keep you company during long trips.

There's a reason why BOTW is the highest rated game in metacritic. To me, mario kart & splatoon are AAA titles for Nintendo,haha.
Mario kart wii ,most sold racing game
Splatoon, sold 4 million copies on dead wii u console & is now an esports

Hardly any bad games from Nintendo tbh.
Every game by them are basically quality game.
If I count the game time my Wii U actually has more game time than the PS4.
Monster Hunter, Mario Kart, Splatoon and Xenoblade X, most played game on it.
I even have all the Nintendo games released on Wii U.

All the exclusives are way better than PS4, don't care about multiplat games, I have a PC for that.
If I count what game I played the most it would be Destiny and FFXV but not enough to be as near as Wii U interms of game time.

Wow, you still can laugh. Other gamers will rage quit & blame developers for unbalance game. Haha

I tried 200cc offline and online play. Even with smart steering, it's difficult

Also, I take the last few places at the back as the most interesting position to be: where else can you pack so much firepower (blue shells, invulnerability star, bullet bills, crazy 8, orbiting 3 red shells) compared to the guy at the front which the game keeps giving shitty coins because and had to press ZL to keep his ass covered? tongue.gif Plus, more often than not, the person at the back determines who wins the match, he can launch that blue shell, sometimes just enough to hit the person at the front, just a few meters from the finish line, causing the rest of the hungry pack behind him to catch up, and unleash a barrage of red and green shells, enough to drop him from first place to 8th place. I'm speaking from experience. rclxub.gif cry.gif

The person in second place, I call him the "opportunist". tongue.gif He'll be just behind enough away from the blue shell blast radius, and he keeps a red shell or mushroom handy just for that sneaky chance to hit the guy at the front or speed past him when the blue shell appears on the map. Pro tip: if you're at the front and a blue shell appears, consider slowing down enough to let the poor sappy idiot at 2nd place to overtake you and watch him take the blue shell in your place.

So.....much......strategizing.
