Nintendo Switch games
I used to get questions from my friends on which games they should get for the first time on Nintendo Switch. Here are my recommendations. Some affiliate links featured.
Ā
The highest-selling Switch title to date, which makes it a great start for a first-time Switch gamer. Hit up the pedal, and get to 1st podium with Mario and friends!
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

Ā
For solo players, Zelda titles are a better fit to get started in Switch gaming. This is one of the games which I wish to play again for the first time.
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild (BotW)
Ā
The continuation of BotW, with more areas to explore and puzzles to solve as Link journeys through Hyrule.
The Legend of Zelda : Tears of the Kingdom (TotK)
Ā
Jump up, explore new places, and get power moons to fuel your ship as you travel across the globe to save Princess Peach from a non-singing Bowser.
Super Mario Odyssey

āDon't play with your foodā they say. In this game, you'll find yourself throwing ingredients and dirty plates to your partner while also cooking and serving your dish. Test out your multitasking and collaboration skill with this game.
Overcooked! All You Can Eat
Ā
Possibly the pinnacle of all cozy games in late 2010s. Like a farming simulation we all know and love, but with choices of terrains, comforting graphics, and overall great experience to spend time with. Exciting gameplay update for consoles coming so...
Stardew Valley
Ā
I love how challenging the puzzle in this game is, and the characters are so weirdly entertaining, when they don't want to eliminate my player, of course.
Undertale
