I'm a huge Switch fan boy. Same as you I grew up with Nintendo consoles and have a HUGE soft spot for hand held gaming systems. Both my wife and I have our own Switches.
I've literally just picked up Mario Party today, can't wait to play it this evening haha. I've also got a preorder on Starlink: Battle For Atlas for that StarFox goodness!

Haha I can't wait too! I'm getting it as well, I've gone through quite a few games recently on the Switch with my wife!
We completed Inside, really good game! Check it out. Also just finished Little Nightmares, currently playing LA Noire that I've had for ages but only just about to complete it... Picked up Diablo 3 too to play afterwards (even though I've played it to death on PC haha). Loving Starlink too.
Yes I'm still a nerd haha.

Been a while since this thread was used. Pokemon Let's Go is a lot more fun and way better than I expected. I also got the Pokeball controller and I actually prefer playing it with the ball. The downside is you need to keep another controller handy to use certain options in the menu and to turn off the game as the ball lacks a home button.
I've been playing a lot of Fifa on the Switch as well. I just enjoying starting out with my favorite team and building them up to world class levels over a few seasons.
I'm currently thinking of getting the new Super Mario game. That's always fun, but I still need to finish Donkey Kong, Crash Bandicoot Trilogy, Pokemon, Zelda DLC (I did finish the main game), and I just got Lego Harry Potter for Christmas.

So the most interesting upcoming games would be Mario Maker, Zelda: Link's Awakening and Pokemon Sword & Shield.
I have pre-ordered all, but I recently saw that Zelda will probably still be €60. I don't know how I feel about that. I need to see if the game is worth that. I might just cancel the pre-order and wait for a deal. Mario Maker is cool, but I will decide when it's out if I will pick up my order. It's a nice game to play when you have little time, unless a level takes hours to clear of course.
Now the Pokemon games are the only ones I am 100% getting. I really enjoyed Let's Go Pikachu and this should be better. About 1 hour after the games were announced my local store called me to ask if I want to convert my pre-order to Sword or Shield. That I don't know yet, so I ordered both just to be sure. When more details are announced about the differences I will pick one of the two. I never buy both.

I'm just... patiently waiting on that Switch 2/upgrade/remodel/whatever announcement, so I can get one of those, with all the little issues worked out, and a couple shiny new features, etc. Maybe a more mobile one, maybe a LESS mobile one, with nicer visuals and better performance.
Whatever they have to offer beyond the launch model, I'm more interested than I've ever been, with this announcement.

I got mine as a birthday gift a few weeks after launch in 2017. I wouldn't know of any issues. It works great. There was one issue with the right Joycon's joystick, but that was fixed within a few days with a software update. The visuals are very nice as they are, especially for BOTW.
You should really consider getting a Switch way before the release of BOTW 2 because I can advise you to play BOTW first and thay will take your at least 100-200 hours to complete at 100%.

This thread doesn't get nearly as much love as it should.
I've finished playing the main story of Pokémon Shield. At first I couldn't get into it and after finishing the first 3 gyms I kind of stopped playing. During my staycation, my wife suggested I play it again. I gave it another chance. Thank God I did. Apparently I stopped right before the story got really interesting. I was hooked. I even had chills during the climax of the story. It was so good! This may be my favorite Pokémon game every, bumping Pokémon Crystal/SoulSilver from the top spot.
I also got the DLC the day it was released. The Isle of Armor is a nice addition. The story is a bit short and superficial, but it's enjoyable. The best part of it is that the whole island is one large wild area. So you can walk around, control the POV and you have Pokémon spawning in the overworld all around. There's also some nice sidequests like finding 151 hidden Alolan Diglett. It was tedious. It took me about 6 hours. But I did it. Some were really hard to spot.
I love this game and I cannot wait for DLC2 to release.

Crash Bandicoot 4 is finally coming to Switch!
I've been spending most of my time on NBA 2K20 and FIFA20. I've also been trying to complete SNES Donkey Kong Country. It's so hard.
I have been playing Age of Calamity a bit as well, but each mission takes pretty long and I'm finding them quite intense and I end up fatigues after an hour. I need to really get into it. It is a great game, though. I'm liking the story.
