My wife got me a Switch for my 36th birthday after years away from Nintendo and I gotta say it feels good to be back. The N64 was a big part of my youth.

I will start out by saying these joy-cons take some getting used to. So I ordered a pro controller and will probably never look back once it arrives.

Anyway, there have been so many amazing games I’ve missed out on over the years it’s hard to keep track. Hoping you all can help! Here’s my current backlog, what else should I add?

  • Metroid Dread (currently playing)
  • Metroid Prime
  • BOTW (a no-brainer)
  • Luigi’s Mansion 3
  • Super Mario Odyssey
  • Kirby and the Forgotten Land
  • DKC Tropical Freeze

Thanks!

I totally get that the joycons are really different than what you're used to. I'd like to urge you to give them a decent shot though. There is something indescribably comfortable about lounging on your couch with your arms in any position you want while playing games. It just feels luxurious. Sometimes I'm leaning back with one arm behind my head, sometimes I've got one hand on my lap and my other resting on my dog nearby. It just feels good.

You just changed my entire perspective on the joy-cons.
