Skyrim for me.  I'm desperately trying to finish Zelda before it arrives, but I keep getting distracted by side quests and random exploring.  The problem is that they're so much more enjoyable than the main quest stuff, I never want to go back to the Divine Beasts.  Anyway, Skyrim should be like a dream come true for me.  I've never got time to play games like that at home, so the 1.5 hours per day I can play on the train will be bliss.

 

Still sorely tempted to sack off Zelda completely and get The Flame in the Flood to play for a few weeks.

My Switch purchases until the rest of the year are FE: Warriors this week, Mario next, Hollow Knight (if it comes out this year on Switch) and Xenoblade Chronicles 2.

 

That's a whole heck of a chunk of excellent gaming, and it's not as if I don't have Mario + Rabbids, Stardew, Splatoon 2 and ARMS to play as well as the Zelda DLC. It's been a really, really good opening year to the Switch's life.

I've got £100 Nintendo credit to get 2 games between now and Christmas. First one, obvs, will be Mario. Not even a big Mario fan but it has to be done. As for the second game I'm really torn between Skyrim and Xenoblade. I'm guessing I'll end up with Skyrim despite having already played it. Mainly because it come out first so temptation will be to great.

I keep seeing people saying they have (and love) Switch even though they're not big Mario fans. And it's just testament to how decent it is and the space it fills alongside the other consoles -- from the outset of, well, every Nintendo console ever, my main motivation to buy has always been 'Well, this is where that sweet sweet Nintendo IP is'.

 

Would be interested to know when / why you picked one up? Zelda, I guess?

 

And to answer the question: if you haven't already, consider using the other half of the money on some of that beautiful indie stuff. Golf Story and Stardew Valley being the priority.

Have owned most the Nintendo consoles over the years, I especially loved the Gamecube. Just never been a big Mario fan, though I can fully appreciate that they are excellent games and will always give them a try. As far as Nintendo IP goes it's always been about Metroid and Zelda for me. But my main love for the Switch comes from it being such an excellent handheld. I adored my Vita, and this feels like the natural progression from that. What I loved about the Vita was it's mix of great indie games sitting along side "bigger" games like Tearaway and Gravity Rush. The Switch seems to be following that path very nicely so soon I'll have Skyrim/Xenoblade and Mario, sitting alongside Stardew Valley (which is currently taking over my life) and Thimbleweed Park.

 

I'm one very very happy Switch owner.

The only Mario's I've played post Snes have been on handhelds and I've never played a Zelda......I bought a switch mainly due to it suiting my gaming needs down to the ground, can take it to work with me, can still play when the Mrs has the telly, I can play in bed. At some point I would think an Animal Crossing and a Pokemon will end up on the Switch, that's another reason I bought one.

 

That said I'm very much looking forward to playing Zelda and I'll certainly give Mario a go this time too.

Me too! Same for me with the Vita -- it's funny how Sony's handheld model has always been 'Console games in your hand' and yet Nintendo really delivered on it first.

If they follow Zelda and Mario (which we can assume is good at this point) with an Animal Crossing in 2018, Switch is undoubtedly the greatest console of all time.

 

If they follow it with the release of an 'Animal Crossing inspired board game' which is like a really bad Mario Party, I'm out.

 

Thankfully, it's Nintendo. So either of those is a realistic option and we can all enjoy the dramatic uncertainty.
