Normally I wait until the end of some systems life before buying them if I've not been that interested in many games for them. The Switch was one of these. Normally you can catch up by buying games second hand but not with the Switch. They never seem to have many discounts and the secondhand games still command a premium.
Anyway we finally got a Switch at Christmas, the newer OLED version, and I'm now starting to create a list of must buy games.
So far we have:
Mario Kart 8
Switch Sports
Animal Crossing
The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild
Mario Obyssey
My list of games to get includes:
Mario Wonder
Mario Party
Pikmin 4
Zelda Link's Awakening
Zelda Tears of the Kingdom
Luigi's Mansion 4
Super Smash Brothers
Winter Sports games
I'm only interested in Switch exclusives. I don't want any games petted from other systems or cross platform.
Out of the games we have so far Animal Crossing is easily the one played the most. The fishing and deep sea diving is strangely addictive.

- Xenoblade Chronicles: Definitive Edition
- Xenoblade Chronicles 2
- Xenoblade Chronicles 3
Mario Kart 8 is worth spending the 25€ extra for the booster course pass, they're so much worth it for a little price, I mean 48 tracks!!

I've got the extra booster pack for Mario Kart. Gor it as part of the Online subscription with the expansion pack. Same with Animal Crossing and the Paradise Island dlc as Tom was desperate to play that.
I'd forgotten about the Xenoblade series. I played the first one on the Wii. Will add them to my list.

Super Mario 3D World was originally released on Wii U, but the Switch has a version with 'Bowsers Fury' included.
Mario Maker was a riot on the Wii U, so if Mario Maker 2 is anything like that, then it's worth getting. Some of the creativity in the brief levels was staggering, like a bite-sized distilled essence.

One I'm really annoyed about for never buying was Mario All-Stars which included remasters of Mario 64, Mario Sunshine and Mario Galaxy. Although I didn't have a Switch at the time I had it bookmarked on Amazon as I read it was limited edition. I never bothered and you can't buy it now unless you find it second hand for £125+.
