    I bought a Switch as birthday present,along with breath of the wild a hardback case and tempered glass screen protector, I was never really a big Nintendo fan, so I'm looking for some recommendations as to what to get as well.

    Bump, I'm thinking of Bomberman R, Mario Kart 8 and joy con grips, if anyone knows of any fun games that are multiplayer with a single pair of Joy cons I would be appreciative.

    I know I'll want a Switch when that new Mario game comes out, but idk if I can justify buying a console just for that... I'm glad botw was on Wii U also.

    I heard there might be a Pokémon rpg for Switch, that'd be really tempting

    Wouldnt recommend it rn unless portable is really your thing. I got it for mario kart 8 which is dope portable using the lil joycons but if you're happy with MK/zelda on wii u yeah hang on. They'll probably relase a bundle with another game before christmas. ARMS isnt that great. Id recommend anyone who doesnt have a switch to wait for one but then again the stocks are limited so idk depends how bad you want the new mario i guess

    that's good to know, coming from someone who owns a Switch, thanks. I think I'll wait a while then, I could wait for the new Mario a long time if needed, I think I bought the Wii U 3 years late when Mario Maker came out.. then I went back and bought Smash Bros and stuff

    One for the future, I'll see how bomberman and MK go down first, I'd buy that pack with the joy cons and the snipperclips packed in down the line, nearly 100 euro for them :/

    Disgaea 5 Complete - If you aren't opposed to weeb aesthetics and don't mind tactical RPGs, this game should keep you content for a long time. It has a shitload of mechanics, but it's quite forgiving so you can pretty much play however you feel like. A lot of said mechanics don't matter until post-game anyways. Speaking of which, the game carries stats over so you can pretty much play forever. Not that you probably want too, but it's a neat addition.

    Thumper - Intense rhythm game with surreal visuals. Difficulty ramps up after a bit. PS4 and PC versions support VR, so consider if you have a HMD whether or not you prefer immersiveness over portability.

    The switch isn't for me, I bought it as birthday present for my girlfriend, she's not really into rpg's other than Zelda, I was originally just looking for recomendations as to what to get outside of Zelda, games and accessories really, I ended up buying Zelda, Bomberman R, Mario Kart, Joy con gamepad grips, tempered glass screen protector and a carry case.
