Depends what game you like.

Right now, the Switch is a bit after midlife crisis. Given that BOTW2 is launching soon, there is a strong possibility it will comes out with a new Switch. I think lah.

Too many Switch games to buy, so depends on what you like:

Must Have for me:
BOTW
SuperSmashBros Ultimate
Super Mario World 3D (Frankly, this game is much more fun than Oddysey).
OctoPath Traveller (now available on Steam though)
Splatoon 2 (Splatoon 3 is coming)
Mario and Rabbid
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Dragon Quest Builders 1 & 2

Coming Soon this year, many good games, unlike last year which was meh:
Kirby 3D game
Triangle Strategy (i already pre ordered)
Alive (something, can't remember title)
Bayonetta 3
BOTW2(Possibly)
Chrono Cross Remake
Front Mission 1 and 2 Remake
Splatoon 3
Mario Strikers
Nintendo Switch Sports
and more..

For multiplayer games, i highlight above in purple, + the below.

1. OverCooked series
2. Mario Party
3. Wario

No lah, just 4 controllers. Super Smash Bros Ultimate can be up to 6 or 8 players. Can't remember.

Note, you can use existing PS4 or XBOX wireless controllers with an 8bitDo or Mayflash adapter. I have both, for wireless go for 8bitDo. My Mayflash is ok and it support one wired USB controller as well.

As above.

I throughly recommed you get at least 1 Nintendo original Pro controllers. It's really good and you will want to play it with BOTW.
If you like some retro games, can get an 8bitDo controller that styled like MegaDrive/Genesis controller. Perfect for Street Fighter.

Like i said earlier, Switch Sports is coming soon this year, you can watch the latest Nintendo Direct on Youtube.

So joyconn gives you 2 controllers. Buy 1 Nintendo Pro Controller. Buy 1 8bitDo or Mayflash adapter for all the other controllers you have lying in the house.

This will gives you 4 controllers already.

Nintendo fans buy Switch for mostly first party exclusives and Square Enix games (some timed exclusives like OctoPath Traveller and the coming Triangle Strategy). We don't buy it to play Witcher. Witcher is just a nice to have. Nobody cares.

I have already completed Witcher Eons ago on Steam. Not gonna buy these on Switch when Steam cheaper or EPIC gives free.

Ok, then settle jor controller. But honestly, joyconn sucks. I hate it. kecian the person kena bashed later using joyconn when another guy using Pro Controller...unfair advantage...LOL

For me, if those multiplayer games you will always play like SmashBros, Mario Kart, example, buy Digital. For those RPGs or once completed you will never play again (or unlikely to play), buy physical so can resell later. Nintendo games got high RV unlike PS games which turns dirt cheap fast.

Don't really care about the story. The battle system in OctoPath is so farking brilliant. There are so many way to mix and match the skills. I played this with my son and he has found techniques i didn't thought of. Brilliant JRPG.

Actually, even digital not that cheap for Switch. And Nintendo 1st Party games has miserable discount only.

One way to get slightly cheaper digital games is to create multiple accounts on different e-store in Russia, Mexico etc. Usually these 2 places can find some cheaper games sometimes. Use BigPay for best conversion rates.

I played Bravely Default 2 demo a bit. Can't say it's the same. Don't like it.

Oh...forgot...must big the biggest microSD card you can find. Especially if you are fully Digital. Nothing less than 500GB. Preferably 1TB. I use 200GB myself. Mixture of physical and digital.

Yep. The official Nintendo Switch card also made by Sandisk. LOL. The internal storage is just a puny 32GB.

But make sure get a good high speed one. If you get slow chap plang memory card, later your game loading slow or freeze or whatever.

I have used the Pro controllers since 2017 or 2018. All joystick are prone to drifting eventually. No way 3rd party controllers are better.

I have only a drifting issue with my Pro Controller once. Nothing can't be fix with a little spray from my can of WD Eletrical contact cleaner.

Also have drifting with my Joyconns maybe twice. Fixed with the Cleaner as well.

I only played the WiiU version. It was fantastic fun playing 2 player co-op.

The Switch version is even better. Can't go wrong.

I have already pre-ordered. Developed by Octopath Traveller's team i think.

If you like tactical RPGs, many coming. Mario and Rabbid Kingdom 2. Front Mission 1 and 2 remake. I love the original Front Mission 1 on the PS.

At one time...that damn title tune was playing in my head everyday.

Very mah fan. I can create a few user account and go to that switch shop according to user account. I named them according to the country....Mexico, Russian, Japan etc...LOL.

I also subscribe to NSO. NSO for my main account only. Other account use to buy games. Doesn't matter where you buy the games, still play with my NSO account.

DQ Builder is a Fantastic game. It's part RPG, part Minecraft, but much better looking. And trust me, I farking hate Minecraft.

But the Switch is pressed hard to run DQ2. Even on other platforms, you can't always get good frame rates. But I like it for Portability , pick up and play a bit, this game is perfect for pick up and play.
