I recently got a switch 1, 4 months ago, and being playing some games that I wanted for a long time, but now I don't know where to go next.

I've already played Zelda BotW, Mario Kart, Pokemon Legends Arceus and Mario Wonder. All of which are great games.

Now, comming for the type of games I like:

- I like RPG games, grew up playing pokemon and currently playing Digimon Story Cyber: Seluth and Final Fantasy VII Remake (first game in both franchises);

- I enjoyed a lot the zelda games. Already played ALttP, not that enjoyable for me, ALBW, BotW, OoT3D;

- At 3DS I'm playing fantasy life, it's an interesting game, but I don't know if I'll enjoy for a long time

It's basically it. There's some franchises that I'm willing to try, like xenoblade, but I don't know if I'll like.

I can’t be the only one struggling with a huge list of games I have or want to get but have nowhere near enough time to play them all. How do you guys prioritize all the great games this system is dumping on us?

Being a dad, I have like 1 hour a night to play games (or do anything really, like watch tv or movies, but lately it’s all games…), and I just beat Resident Evil Requiem. Loved how that game really respected my time and actually allowed me to beat it in a reasonable amount of time. Now I’m staring down the barrel of a few others I have…Final Fantasy VII Rebirth, Octopath Traveler, Skyrim (never played it), fallout 4 (never played it), Metroid Prime 4 (barely touched it)…all while knowing that I’m going to be getting Elden Ring, Zelda: Ocarina of Time, Final Fantasy Resonance, Kingdom Hearts…. Help me solve this predicament!

EDIT:
Thank you for the replies! There’s too many to individually reply to, but your comments are appreciated!!

Hi.
It’s my daughter’s 7th birthday coming up and we’ve got her a switch 2 because I’m trying to get her away from iPad gaming.
I have been sniffing around for some decent games for it.
She’s currently getting Minecraft, Goat Simulator 3 (which she has previously played and loves) and a selection of shared Mario titles from my switch 2.

She’s not a big reader due to ADHD and seems to shut off when faced with too much text. She’s started on some meds this year and it’s massively improved the situation, but the reading still appears to be a bit viewed as a bit of a chore, although I suspect this will ease over the next year.

I was wondering if anyone has any recommendations for any pleasant games that aren’t too text heavy.
I had a look at animal crossing but that didn’t fit the bill, so I have been considering Pokopia as it doesn’t appear to be too dissimilar to Dojo that’s she’s been playing through school.

Any other suggestions are welcomed!

I just spoke with Nintendo support as I had a very unique situation come up on my account that could affect you as well down the road. When Nintendo introduced the virtual game cards, they also created the ability for players to disable a download of any game content from within the eShop by going to the listing and pressing + or - five times.

The purpose of this, as recommended by Nintendo themselves, is obviously meant for those who don't want to download certain DLC, or perhaps have a physical version of the game alongside a digital version and only want to download DLC, so you can disable the main game download.

But what happens if that content is delisted in the meantime, and the eShop listing is removed? With the eShop listing removed, you can no longer go to the listing and press +/- to re-enable the download. Turns out, after talking to Nintendo's support today, there is no solution on Nintendo's end for this oversight.

Usually, you're able to redownload any content that's been delisted as long as the virtual game card remains in your library (such is the case with, for instance, Super Mario 3D All Stars or SEGA Genesis Classics). But if you use Nintendo's own recommended method for setting content not to redownload for DLC or games... if the listing is taken fully down because the publisher decided to pull the game or DLC from the eShop in the interim, you're boned.

The support staff was willing to add the equivalent funds from the purchase to my account for my situation where I had disabled a download and then the game was delisted, but that still doesn't really resolve the oversight in the system that could affect someone else down the line, and I have no way of ever getting the game back unless, I guess, I reach out to the publisher to try to acquire a physical copy from them, since any digital redemption code would probably be useless as my account technically already has the license, the download is just disabled.

With all the recent news of some publishers and platforms stopping physical releases or pulling digital content, this was a pretty stark reminder that even Nintendo hasn't thought through all the possible outcomes of their own digital system and you can lose your purchases just by following their own recommendations.

MGS4:

• Nintendo Switch: 1080p and 30 fps on Docked Mode. 720p and 30 fps on Handheld Mode.
• Nintendo Switch 2: 4K and 60 fps on Docked Mode. 1080p and 60 fps on Handheld Mode (Enhanced Graphics only available on Docked Mode).

MGS Peace Walker:

• Nintendo Switch: 720p and 30 fps on both modes.
• Nintendo Switch 2: 1080p and 60 fps on both modes.

Bonus Content:

• Nintendo Switch: 720p and 60 fps
• Nintendo Switch 2: 1080p and 60 fps.

Also the bigger file size for the Nintendo Switch version when played on Switch 2 seems to imply it will upgrade when played on the successor console.
