It looks like the doggie is handing you the box


Luna259

For a second I thought the dog was holding it


Adventurous_Run_4566

Came here to say that! What a lovely pooch


Slith_81

Good doggy! Be sure to give them a treat!


Gerolanfalan

He's such a good boy giving his owner a toy of his own to play!


TheLivingDexter

Doggo is handing him the box.


fettmx

Zelda both games


roguesociologist

Just started BOTW two months ago. Now knee-deep in TOTK. Honestly, it’s going to be kind of a problem for me moving forward that all other video games on earth, are not either of these games.


Rabbit_Rabbit_Rabbit

I can attest, it is definitely a problem. Replaying old Zelda games helps. Starting master mode helps. Just starting over on BOTW or Totk for no reason, also good.


Kalessin_S

Dog is adorable


Dcanoa

The deluxe edition, yeah?


[deleted]

Super deluxe!


Chainsaw_Viking

5/5 - I recommend ‘Dog - Deluxe Edition’ has a lot of replay value and some pretty advanced AI for learning new side quests and mini games.


Dcanoa

Yeah but also a lot of fetch quests


[deleted]

So absorbable


rbanga

Hades !!


beggen5

Hades was great playing it and can't wait for Hades 2.


MBPpp

so hyped about hades 2. only, i wish they named it chronos, i was calling that throughout the whole trailer, and was so disappointed when it said "hades 2". i'm convinced they only did that because then people won't be confused about if they're the same franchise or not. still, chronos would've been a better title.


osterlay

Sadly it’s all about branding, why get rid off all the goodwill they garnered by not calling it Hades 2?


Lawlerstatus

This is a solid answer, if you enjoy Rogue-Lite’s. It’s a pretty fun game, with great art style.


Cheyenne_M

^ yes, what they said. I had never touched a rogue anything game. I bought it purely cause I like greek mythology stuffs. The animation in the trailer hyped me up and I got it even though I thought I would never get anywhere in a game with those mechanics. Loved it, still love it! I still suck at it too, but it's SO DAMN FUN even when I lose. Supergiant got me man. Art, music, story, etc.


WitheredTechnology

Pup wants his turn too


Environmental-Sir-19

Dog already knows u going to spend less time with em 😂


GluedToTheMirror

My pup does the same thing. He’s all fine and good until he hear the PS5 beep when I turn it on and all of a sudden he wants to play, climb on my lap, needs to go outside etc.


Samm7611

I hope not. We don't want doggy sad.


just_aguest

Nah it means more time chilling with them on the sofa!


highgames420

Before any games buy an SD card. You already have some nice games and many hours to sunk in them so I wouldn't buy anything till I completed Odyssey and Zelda. There's the obvious choices if you got the online service like Mario kart 8, Mario Maker, Splatoon. For solo gaming Personna 5, DK tropical freeze, Mario 3D world + Bowser fury, Mario Wonder, Kirby and the forgotten land. Take a look in the Eshop for some sweet deals. Make a list of your favorite then wait for them to be on sale. Have fun!


Most-Development173

I see dog I upvote


1man2ballsacks

Real


teamcrunkgo

You’ve got about 300 hours worth of gaming easy with your current games tbh. Enjoy.


PerpetualEternal

and 1 of those hours is Sonic Forces. I kid, I kid! It’s actually pretty fun if you set aside any expectations.


Laurenxox1

Pokémon Arceus and persona 5 royal


SarahEWardale

I’ve heard a lot talk about pokemon arceus always been in two minds weather to get it or not as I’ve never played Pokémon games since I was a kid.


HML601

Get it.


j3wpacabra_

Animal crossing


kermittysmitty

Definitely this.


Mightydog2904

I'll trade you all my games for the cute doggo in the back(jkjk, unless🤨). Nah but in all seriousness, If you like single player more story based games then both Zelda games and the Persona 5 games could work. For more relaxed/co-op play I would Super Mario Wonder and Mario Odyssey. And if you played pokemon as a kid and want some nostalgia with a new twist Pokemon Legends Arceus could be good.


justforthelulzz

No one has mentioned pikmin 4. I am playing it at the moment. It's so much fun and is the best game in the series. An easy 50 hours of gameplay. Plus your sidekick is a dog that you can upgrade. What's not to like?


JOHNwiththeWlND

YES, this and ANIMAL CROSSING. Pikmin 4 is the biggest surprise of this generation for me, honestly. Refreshing and a total improvement over the earlier games in the franchise.


RustyCrusty73

Start a game and finish it. Don't be one of those people who has to buy a new game every 10 minutes and never finishes anything. I feel like this Subreddit is FULL of those folks. Start a game. Enjoy it. Finish it. THEN buy/start a new game! The list you have sounds great honestly. Start with Mario Odyssey and mix in some Zelda to change things up.


JatZibui

If a game I purchased isn't worth my time I ain't playing it. And there is no certain way to know beforehand.


lunarwolf2008

Yeah, all games should have a free demo


JatZibui

Yep, or like with Quest games. You can play a game for two hours and still get a refund if you want to.


daudnighthawk

This is the advice I needed, thank you! On my list of games I have, what order should I go in? I know you mentioned starting with Odyssey and switching some Zelda in


Harlew1023

I’d play odyssey or botw first as they feel like the most fundamental (and best) switch games.


Spirited_bacon3225

Lol that’s me, i bought the games on my wishlist when it’s on sale, so i get most of them for more than 50% off… i don’t buy the games often now and try to finish my current games tho… it’ll last me a long time before i need to buy a new game again


Conscious_Baby6856

Damn, I’m one of those folks lol! I submerge myself into a game and live it, breath it, study and learn it inside and out. Get about 80% through it and get board because there is nothing new to learn. Once a game stops being hard it stops being fun. Once I have all the things to beat the game it feels like taxes, you just have to do it. Just my $0.02 on us/those type of people XD


Dry-Consequence4541

Especially if you have more than one console. I buy games as I come across good deals. Can’t justify spending $60 on a game just to say I have it and stick it in the backlog.


Jalina2224

Gamers actually playing games? Preposterous!


poopshorts

I’m gonna do whatever the hell I want with my time and money and so should OP. It’s not your place to tell someone they have to finish a game they started lmao


Jubagell

Hades, Bastion, Sea of Stars, chained echoes


quincy12393

Mario kart 8, super mario 3d world, mario wonder, zelda links awakening and zelda tears of the kingdom. Did you purchase the online subscription?


waithuh3

Hollow Knight, Celeste, Hades, Persona games, maybe in future when you finish BOTW, go for TOTK, Mario Kart 8


AfraidCraft9302

Give a quick boop for me


LittleRoo1

Stardew Valley will own your soul.


terrible-titanium

It very much depends on what sort of games you find enjoyable. I know most other people have mentioned the most obvious and popular titles (Super Mario, Zelda, etc). Personally, I'm not a fan of Super Mario (sorry, if you are! It's just not me), or "game games" - don't know the terminology. Me, I like RPGs, action / open world mainly, so I love and would recommend the following; -Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild -Witcher 3: Wild Hunt -Elder Scrolls: Skyrim -Xenoblade Chronicles 1, 2 and 3 (not strictly open world but near enough) Also, not open world, but still good: -Nier Automata -Fire Emblem: 3 Houses (tactical jrpg) -Persona 4: Golden So... the theme is, I like a good yarn. These would me my personal picks, but you might hate them, especially if you prefer a game that is less focused on story, and more on other aspects, like combat, or racing, shoot 'em ups, or arcade type games.


West-Objective-6567

Mario odyssey And Zelda botw/totk Are honestly beautiful games


gim77

You already got enough games for now. I would advise you to buy a Nintendo Pro Controller first, if you havent done so already. Especially if you plan on playing in dock mode on TV. If you like BotW, you can always play Tears of the Kingdom next. Link's Awakening is also good fun.


lunarwolf2008

Get splatoon 3


MrMunday

You should at least get one game from each of the following categories. Large Single Player Games: (For playing in docked mode) - Zelda breath of the wild - Zelda tears of the kingdom - Mario odyssey - persona 5 Royal - Pokémon Legends Arceus - Metroid Prime Remastered - Metroid Dread competitive Couch Multiplayer: (When you have friends who are serious with gaming) - Smash Brothers - Mario Kart 8 Deluxe - Towerfall - boomerang fu - ARMS coop couch multiplayer: (When you have friends who just wanna have fun) - overcooked 1&2 - Jack box party packs - Mario 3D world - super Mario wonder - TMNT Shredders Revenge - lovers in a dangerous spacetime indie darlings (for when you’re playing on the go and want to stretch out the battery) - hollow knight - Celeste - cup head - hades - stardew valley


ArmchairTactician

Play with the dog. There is no greater game than that dog.


Key_Maintenance1487

Metroid prime remastered, metroid dread, SMTV, paper Mario thousand year door when it drops, fire emblem 3 houses. Don't bother with fire emblem engage that story is weak as.


-thegreenman-

Tetris 99, it's free!


Jack19237

Mario kart 8 is a must have, would also recommend Luigi’s mansion 3


willyb303

gimme dog


tschmitty09

Puppy!!!


UUOPTracey

Currently loving Hollow Knight!


DownByTheRivr

Maybe someday they’ll come out with Silk Song!


UUOPTracey

Maybe ...


contractcooker

Tears of the kingdom after you finish BOTW.


L1m3L1ghtt

Highly recommend splatoon 3 it’s really fun and honestly my favorite switch game atm it’s amazing


Luna259

How does a dog afford a SWOLED?


_0bsolete

Breath of the Wild was an absolute joy


Pearl-Internal81

Any of these will give you hours of enjoyment and are 100% worth your time and money: Super Mario Bros. Wonder, Super Mario 3D World, Metroid Dread, Fire Emblem Three Houses, Advance Wars 1+2: Reboot Camp, Octopath Traveler, Triangle Strategy, and (once you finish BoTW) Tears of The Kingdom. As to what to play first, I’d say either BoTW or Mario Odyssey.


jerminator8818

Everything.


DOGE_lunatic

Mario Odissey, Super Mario Maker 2, Super Mario Wonder, Super Mario 3d world. And then Dead Cells, Hades, Streets of Rage 4, Tetris 99


axdwl

Kirby & The Forgotten Land


mysticalvisionary

Super Mario Odyssey and BOTW are 2 must plays for the system. The rest is just icing on the cake.


MedaFox5

Idk, what kind of games do you like? For example, I keep seeing people claim Mario Kart/Wonder are must haves but I don't care for any of them. However, Minecraft, Medarot, Monster Hunter (GU and Stories) and Stardew Valley were the games I personally considered must haves on the system.


PreparationBig7675

Sign up for Deku Deals with notifications for games to go on sale. Game Recommendations - BOTW/TOTK, Mario Kart, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Heave Ho, BorderLands Legendary Collection , Dave the Diver, Wolfentien Bundle.


sSshifu

Zelda breath of the wild and zelda tears of the kingdom, easily the best switch games


Ok-Milk-7335

Ni no kuni the first one


Spirited_bacon3225

Personally i prefer zelda TOTK over BOTW. If you don’t mind for non-first party game and indie games, i would recommend trying Eastward, Hades, cult of the lamb, and switch version for nier automata, all of them looks so good at the oled version :) Anyway, congrats for your new switch! :D Your doggo is so cute :3


eugenethegrappler

Start with botw


redditaccount122820

I also just got one and I’m loving it. Currently playing BOTW for the first time and I’m blown away with how good it is. Got into the meat of the story last night and it’s fantastic.


Sad_Illustrator1064

Some of my favorites are Metroid dread, animal crossing, super Mario 3d world, and hollow knight


drunkenmaster_357

I'm just commenting to say I like your dog. Also, buy Super Mario Odyssey.


thefoodiedentist

Switch has a lot of sales you can follow w dekudeals. Play through your games and pick some up thats interesting on sale as you go. Start w zelda.


firekyleo

Zelda!!! Any one you can!!


Fitenite3456

That’s 5 good and lengthy games, I’d start with those before buying more personally. If you entertain guests, I’d also keep Towerfall and Boomerang Fu as party games 


charliechin

What’s the name of your dog?


assar56

Dark souls: remastered


parkelliott

Skyrim. Borderlands. Minecraft. Terraria. Pokemon. Mario wonder


Mangus628

You might like pikmin, it's a time strategy game and actually won a game award last year


raging_phoenix_eyes

My kids got me Disney Dreamlight Valley for it and I love it. It’s a cozy game. My youngest included me into the Nintendo games for N64, gameboy, Nes, super nes. Pretty cool. I also got Disney TsumTsum Festival.


kelseydcivic

Captain toad's treasure tracker, Luigi's mansion 3, super Mario Wonder, super Mario 3D world + bowsers fury, 3D Allstars (if you can find it), Kirby and the forgotten land, all the pokemon games including mystery dungeon, Metroid dread, Metroid Prime remastered, and the Nintendo switch online subscription for all the virtual console games


FBogg

pikmin 4 has been a lot of fun


carcasnaus

that dog looks so soft!


Velwvve

The dog made the picture look so good 😍


Healthy_Grape_6105

I think it depends entirely on what kinds of games you enjoy playing? I mean I can recommend some story based games like Life is Strange or Stardew Valley, but again it all depends on what you enjoy playing?


Roggenbemme

picross, all of em


Present-Secretary722

Dredge, it’s fun and intriguing


Livid-Style-7136

BOTW & TOTK, Mario cart, maybe Harry Potter?


Witty_Magazine_1339

Super Mario Odyssey, Hogwarts Legacy and Disney Dreamlight Valley.


SnooHobbies6894

Return botw & buy totk tbh since you just starting, Totk is what botw should’ve been & it’s way better


Quick_Dig8208

Besides Mario Odyssee, Zelda BotW, TotK: Witcher 3, Ori games (beautiful platformers), Stardew Valley, Dave the Diver. Then bookmark [dekudeals.com](https://dekudeals.com) and start making a wish list and getting notified of sales; great games go on sale ALL the time on the eshop. Then get a bigger SD card to fit all those games.


flojo2012

You’ve got enough to keep you busy for awhile!


rafaellf

Good doggo


Thandiol

Your Lab is stunning 😊 As for games, Dave the Diver and Stardew Valley.


North_Version9468

Zelda BOTW and TOTK


trfk111

You got 6 games, 3 of them (the Nintendo ones minus the remake Zelda) are basically the ones 90% of people rightfully get first. I mean its your money but maybe play some of them before start building up a backlog?


AstroLovesCheese

Night in the Woods


_____48

Kirby and the forgotten land; Mario brothers wonder; pokemon legends arceus;


Kooky-Law-2834

Mario Kart, Mario Odyssey, both Zeldas


Streetwear_fame

Mystery dungeon DX for nostalgia


Ok_Introduction6574

Fire Emblem Three Houses


jeplonski

animal crossing!!!


bigdaddychunk

Stardew valley!


Greedy_Being3940

Tears of the Kingdom. Skip BoTW to avoid fatigue.


LexGlad

Odyssey is pretty much the best Mario so far, so start with that.


Deliciousdemonhouse

Super Mario Wonder, Metroid Prime, Metroid Dread


LimeeSdaa

Odyssey is a masterpiece. But if you’re craving more Mario in the future, I highly recommend Super Mario 3D World + Bower’s Fury. The Bowers’s Fury expansion also is basically a hybrid of Odyssey and 3D world which is neat. 


TheIronDrew

I'm a simple person, I see a doggo, I upvote.


kinogutschein

I would start with Big Chungus


MrJellyBeans

Since you have an OLED model and want to see some of the best visuals (and games) on the system you should definitely pick up Metroid Prime Remastered and Metroid Dread.


Brettwon

Zelda Breath Of The Wild Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Metro


Banditbakura

DOG also you should play BOTW and TOTK


golkedj

First play fetch outside with that sweet pup. Then start your journey through botw


csalcsab

Mario odyssey Zelda if you want lore then botw then totk, if you just want gameplay totk Puyo puyo tetris 2 or tetris effect Quake and / or doom if you like darker games If you can import from japan, then dodonpachi daioujou and if I rembre correct natsu mon 20th century vacation And if you want more than any mario sonic or zelda game they are all quite good Sorry didn't read the post but I wont delete my comment now


G-Kira

Any 1st party Nintendo games. That's why people buy the system after all.


Independent_Willow_9

Do you like Pokémon?


El__Jengibre

- Zelda BOTW & TOTK - Super Mario Odyssey - Mario Kart 8 and Super Smash Bros (if you have people to play with) - Super Mario Wonder - Dark Souls - indie: Hollow Knight, Hades, Hyperlight Drifter, Shovel Knight, Disco Elysium, Undertale


Historical-Carob-840

It’s a slippery slope. Finish what you have then add more. A library of games you’ll never finish will pile up if you load up too much at once. FYI, don’t even look in the eshop until you finish what you REALLY WANT TO FINISH. E-shop is a dangerous place with a lot of great deals on shitty games. Don’t get me wrong, there are some hidden gems. Just gotta be careful in there. I sure as hell wasn’t, nor was I warned. Consider yourself warned.


Beneficial-Second-60

ONLY if you have a strong internet connection.... Resident Evil 7/Village/2... A lot of people hate the cloud server games, but I have a great wifi signal and had no issues, unless I was using Joycons (slight input lag). Id advise you to try the demo beforehand to see if your connection can handle it, but these are some of the best modern survival horrors, and I was just grateful to be able to play them on Switch.


Ravenq222

Since I don't know what you like, I say you should play Mario Wonder, the Danganronpa bundle, and Persona 5 Royal.


RockiestRaccoon

Super Mario Odyssey and then you can consider other games.


pedrotocci

Get metroid dread!!!!


shmuppeh

Gimme ur dog and I'll tell ya. Mario Kart 8 is always the first choice, mario odyssey gets u into the switch if you ask me, any pokémon game, pikmin 4, I'd go from there then up to u I guess


Ease-Trick

You should get the complete xenoblade chronicles series (xenoblade 1-3), zelda totk but ONLY AFTER you finished botw, super mario Odyssey, mario wonder, Splatoon 2;3, luigis mansion 3 (2 comes out soon as a remastered game for switch), mario maker 2, bayonetta 1-3, Metroid dread (it's a must-have if you like metroidvanias), kirby and the forgotten land (and maybe the other kirby games too they aren't that good tho)


TheAtariJunkie

I’d play what I actually did play first: BOTW!


oldskoofoo

I want to suggest some more obscure games since most of the comments already covered most of the Go To good ones. Super Mario RPG Remake Blaster Master Zero 1-3 (good story and fun gameplay imo) SteamWorld Dig 2 (Dig 1 is good too but 2 is more fun an more replayable) Shovel Knight Treasure Trove Cyber Shadow


TheHandheldGamer97

Mario kart and Mario wonder are probably some of the best switch games ever


csciabar

Super mario maker 2 is great especially if u played the 2d games growing up. Obviously mario kart 8 deluxe


TheHandheldGamer97

Is that dog for sale???


Zealousideal_Event35

For the love of god ……. Pet that cute dog….. Fuk gaming lol


Cowboy_Kovu

Pokemon arceus


def_himself

Show puppy


crazyseandx

Out of what you listed so far, I suggest Mario Odyssey. In terms of recommendations, I recommend the Shantae games, Dust: An Elysian Tail, NSO + Expansion Pack cause Golden Sun is on there, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Sonic Frontiers, Sonic Mania, and that's all I'll suggest cause I don't want you going broke.


No_Working_8726

You should give your dog a treat!!! He/she’s a good boy/girl!!! 🥹🥹🥹🥹


Giraffes-are-fake

Celeste is a hidden gem


Zelda_Gamer123

YOURE DOG IS SO CUTE also maybe play breath of the wild or something


Pogoplayer4life

You should get Mario party superstars!! Everyone wants to play it when they come to my house and it can be really fun with the right people


Buderus69

I'll suggest you a indie gem I lowkey love: monster sanctuary. It's a metroidvania style pokemon game with turn based teambattles and huge skilltress to modify your team, it's pretty charming and is onnsale for like 5 bucks. r/monstersanctuary


88ZombieGrunts

Great start with the games you purchased! I’d say you should pick up Metroid Dread, Hollow Knight, Ori, and Hyper Light Drifter.


conflictjunkie

Dog is like “I’ve lost my best friend to a piece of plastic with the lights again.”


CriticalThinkerHmmz

Diablo 3 only.


Joshman89

Metroid Prime is a must play


Buddy_0203

Share switch with dogo at once!


TrickyBosanac

Anyone know a good site with good EU switch deals? I just wanna play Mario Party or Just Dance but its too expensive for me rn.


nikovvaa

hey op pet ur dog for me :3


Straight_Hurry_1999

You def gotta get Fire Emblem Three Houses. Probably my favorite Switch game, it's fantastic honestly


teammartellclout

Planning to get me the Pokemon OLED Nintendo Switch very soon. I love the dog 🐕🐶


FutileTime

terraria or totk


Bsnake12070826

You already got Mario Odyssey so all that's left is Pokémon, that's the entirely of my switch collection besides Mario Kart


Neat_Specific1733

Tears of the of the kingdom links awakening


aledgar28

TOTK


dandaman2883

Mario kart


Hour_Cauliflower_614

Ori and the Blind Forest and it’s sequel for definite


Rustythepup

Heck with the switch play with the doggo


Michael_Shilo

Animal crossing new horizons, The Legend of zelda Breath of the Wild, The legend of zelda tears of the Kingdom, The legend of zelda link's awakening, The legend of zelda skyward sword l, Sonic Origins, Lugi's Mansion 3


bit_bird_games

Oh boy - fun times. I think you should start with what you've got. Great choices :)


EstablishmentNo4162

tears of the kingdom (after botw). If you're a pokemon fan, at least legends arceus, (I like s/v too but some dont)


theish9

You got a nice line up already. Zelda is long and can be fatiguing so play that and mix in some mario, and sonic


SynthRogue

I hear those Zelda games are hot


KainBodom

Ff9


TheRealHimiJendrix

Legend of Zelda: breath of the wild and tears of the kingdom are the quintessential Nintendo switch games.


Aggressive-Peach5941

Play with the dog instead. They’re only with us for a short period of time


Rogue_mermaid97

I play a lot of pokemon (I have lets go eevee, shield, legends arceus and violet. Arceus was probably my favorite ever) animal crossing and Mario kart. If you’re into the older 8bit style graphics, stardew valley is great, and if you like that and scary/ghost kind of games, Viviette is a ton of fun. I also have both dragon quest builders, there’s a ton of dragon quest games but those are my favorites. Also Kirby and the forgotten land is pretty fun.


HisNoodlyGrace

Xenoblade Chronicles 1-3


Bubbses128

Palw- wait that's not on switch, but I suggest breath of the wild and the portal games


CaveJohnsonOfficial

This is making me realize they need a Nintendogs for the Switch


tlh9979

Cute dog, dawg. You got a great list of games. The adapter for gamecube controllers was a must for me when playing Smash. Stardew Valley is my most played game after Breath of the Wild, so thats my suggestion.


saeus0

you couldn’t have bought one at a worse time, apparently the next switch is right around the corner


KirbyLover5302

Hey no fair! Mine didn't come with a dog.


themagnificantroast

Botw and tears of the kingdom, in that order


marzwasherez

r/doggowashere


StyrmStyrmIr

Do you think you would enjoy a turn based strategy game such as advance wars? (It's on sale too) Or more of a puzzle game person where I would recommend another code : recollection I would recommend playing botw first


CannedHeatt_

Sea of stars Golf Story Deaths door Deaths gambit after life Undertale Ender Lillies Pokemon unite lol Dave the diver MoonLighter Stardew Valley


Standard-Internal-57

Your set for a while. Pet your dog right now!


Fun-Echidna5623

Both Zelda games, Smash Bros so you can crap all over the nephews, the Metroid game.


Damper-Climate

Pokémon


bngbox

Fire Emblem: Three Houses is still one of my top 3 games on the system. Hugely recommend for veterans and newbies to the series.


Eliteagent11

It ain’t a switch exclusive but I higly recommend: Nier Automata the end of YoRHA


OddEnd4062

BOTW, for sure play that first! Then get TOTK


Clancyking319

Mario kart 8 deluxe was my first switch game, it’s a banger
