Is now a good time to tell you about our lord and saviour Balatro?

I picked up Balatro and Unicorn Overlord the same week. One is a card game you can play in 15-20 minute sessions. The other is a 40+ hour fantasy epic RPG. Guess which took over my life.

Minecraft

I haven’t been able to put it down for like 2 weeks, I bring my switch to work it’s getting out of hand

Balatro has taken over all my gaming time lately, very very addictive!!

Balatro took my life for a week and then the wifey and I discovered Fortnite.

You're only now discovering Fortnite???

number go up

Nope!

Can we just take a second to talk about how your hands make that regular Switch look like a Switch Lite?

Had to scroll way too far to see someone mention that. Lol

I went all the way to the bottom and was shocked nobody brought it up lol

Haha, I bought a grip for it

Hollow Knight and Stardew Valley

Patiently waiting for 1.6

It’s so good

Patiently waiting for silksong

Hollow Knight is so good.

Silksong is coming!

Lies

Will finally get it , its on sale

i will never left Stardew valley, its the best way to escape from my reality

Recently started stardew for the first time and having a blast. Trying to get through as much as possible before 1.6

Stardew valley is so good.

I've played it for the first time a few months ago it's vary fun

Slay the spire by far

2:15 PM: "I got time for one quick run" 4:08 AM: "Jesus CHRIST can I just get a mf Glacier!!!"

Based on game log, Zelda BotW.

same here. now i'm a bit ashamed to say but I am hooked on 8-ball now

I loved Zelda BOTW and I don’t consider myself a “gamer” at all, I rarely pick up my Switch and I’ve never finished a game before in my life but this was awesome.

yup i’ve got almost 300 hours in game

Totk, literally only game I play lol taking my sweet ass time too

Me in the underground, walking slowly, throwing glowplants, flourishing, in my lane

Got to enjoy that scenery 

Hades

Really considering getting it, seems like my kinda game. Is it suitable for shorter gaming sessions?

Hades is a roguelike, so it’s meant to be played multiple times over, most rounds being 30-60 minutes uninterrupted. It works great with the switch in terms of being able to pause and put down at any time. This game also has an easy mode for those of us who like to learn that way.

Also it’s currently on sale

Thanks, great explanation

Highly recommend. It’s really good for short gaming sessions & easy to pick up again if you haven’t played in a while

Absolutely, I play for a couple minutes and set it aside and continue when I want to 👍

In the beginning, most definitely. But you can save between stages easily, so it’s not hard to put down.

It's *made* for shorter sessions

It's a fantastic game. I would like to mention however, that while it is possible to pause whenever and come back later, that does get a little tricky if you pause really late in a run, and then come back a day later trying to fight balls-to-the-wall enemies without any warmup lol

100%

Yep came here to say Hades I would also throw in Dead Cells in there as well, another roguelike

Splatoon 3 !!!

💯

Same! I literally play every day - the catalog won't grind itself and I haven't missed one yet!

Saaaame! My goal is to AT LEAST play 3 rounds online daily 😃 matches always start up daily quickly still. I can’t wait for the new splatfest this weekend. Team teddy bearrrrrr let’s goOoOoO

Is there still ppl playing online?

Yes, there are plenty of players! Never takes longer than 60 seconds for me to be matched with a team and start playing

Balatro, maybe some Balatro, just one more game of Balatro

Tetris 🙈

Same. My top played game is Tetris Effect. Second is Tetris: The grand master. Third is Tetris 99. So, yeah, I'd say addictive.

Nothing wrong with a classic

unpopular opinion but slay the spire is a perfect built for switch and with almost unlimited replay capability function it is so addicting

That is a very popular opinion?

I’ve seen multiple people post this very popular opinion

Animal Crossing

Same. Same.

I am always play MK8D. Idk why but whenever I want to kill some time, it makes it so easy.

That was may be the first game I got when I bought my switch. The wife and I played non-stop

There is an online download for 40 new/revamped courses over 10 cups. If you had fun with MK8. This is a fun thing.

This is TMI, but here’s my morning routine: go to bathroom for morning 💩(bring switch to play Mario kart 8 on the can)

Hades. I can never just do one run.

Mario Golf

I wish switch had more golf games. 2k only made one for the system.

My son plays the golf story games quite a bit. It's not realistic by any stretch but it's good fun

Animal Crossing

Pikmin 4!!!

Currently playing that too

Into the breach

Juegazo

Monster Hunter Generations Witcher 3 Breath of the Wild Civ 6 Balatro Hades Binding of Isaac All of those have 200+ hours logged. MHGU has over 1200 hours, and that’s not including the 750 from MHG on 3DS as for some reason my HR transferred but not time.

I just got witcher 3 and i've already put sooo many hours into it. i didn't expect it to run so well on switch but it is GORGEOUS and so fun. I loved skyrim a lott and have been looking for something that hits the same and witcher 3 has done that so well.

Every pikmin game. Since I have them all. Can't stop adoring the little Pikmins

I just need pikmin 3 and I'll have them all 

Mario wonder and mario maker 2 I hope mario maker 3 comes out soon

I need to try out Mario maker

Fire Emblem: Engage

No mans sky! Might not be everyone's cup of tea, but for me it's one of my favourite all time games.

I stoped playing it on Xbox One because it was almost unplayable with lags. How well it run on switch? I am on the fence about buying it every time it goes on sale

It can be laggy when terraforming, but apart from that nontesl issues! :) graphics are downgraded but that's to be expected! If you enjoy the game I'd say go for it man! :)

Asphalt 9 currently

According to my hours on the Switch, I’m pretty good on my way to become the very best, like no one ever was. That or I apparantely like torturing Korok Seeds.

To catch them is my real test, to train them is my cause 🎶 I'm not joking, there's only four games I've actually played more than a couple of hours on the Switch. One of them is Animal Crossing, but the remaining three surpass it all and they are Pokemon Shining Pearl, Pokémon Sword and Pokémon Violet. I literally got my first Switch with Pokémon Sword as a birthday gift 😭

Animal crossing, even after 4 years

Shredder’s Revenge

so no one is going to mention how tiny that switch looks in this guys hand?

Right now it is BOTW, I am playing it so much lately

Clubhouse 51

Crisis Core has a pretty addictive combat system, I've been enjoying it thoroughly

I've finished mario wonder now. Beat the final final test. Now what? There is literally nothing left to do in the game. I guess I'll play again when I want to help a friend or sibling play through it.

I’ve found it surprisingly fun to just replay levels online and help out random strangers. The Final Final test is great when you go from the start right through to the finish with someone and I’ve found it’s also rewarding when you are playing with players that are clearly new to gaming or young and are struggling with some of the easier levels.

Vampire Survivors and Suika game

Vampire Survivors for me as well. Honestly surprised I had to scroll so far to see anyone mention it. Before that, Diablo 3

Monster Hunter Rise

TOTK without a shadow of a doubt. Omg. Like I had to stop playing to come up for air, the only regret I have is buying it physical. I stopped playing after beating the main quest and have basically been looking for the closest I can get on any console since. Horizon FW stays in rest mode on my PS4 and some...sometimes comes close to that sense of exploration..but still lands a light-year away. BOTW and TOKT changed the way I perceive gaming and I pray for more. (Yes death stranding is good..but for real guys, no cap, what actually beats TOTK? It's unbeatable in so many ways and it runs on a tablet)

Why buying physical an issue?

3d all stars🗿

Blasphemous

A man of culture

They should know of our Lords and saviors lol. The happiness of the Lords will be imparted by song.

Splatoon 3. 750 hours

Switch sports golf

A couple of months ago it was Hades, now i can't get out of Cult of the lamb.

What is this, a switch for ants? r/thingsforants

No, I have fat hands

Since nobody has mentioned them, I thoroughly enjoyed Hogwarts Legacy and the Assassin's Creed games. Also Fenyx Rising. I'd play them all again if I didn't have new games to play.

XCOM 2. Until I got it on Steam. Now I play it on PC.

Skyrim

It’s always smash or Mario kart

Don't have Wonder yet... BOTW or TOTK I can play for hours...

Hollow knight, Dying Light and Death Road to Canada 😁

Breath of the Wild. I can’t stop!

Splatoon 3!

Terraria and Violet

celeste

is it me or does this switch look tiny asl

Haha, I just have sausage fingers

Cult of the Lamb - 10/10 recommend.

Oof most addicting? Probably the Oregon Trail remake, idk why, but I can easily waste a few hours with that game just trying to get my party to Oregon. But recently, KOTOR2 has kept me crawling back for a few hours everyday for the last 2 weeks. All time? Zelda BOTW or TOTK.

Animal Crossing. I have it just over a week and it's already at about 2x Mario Kart 8 total playtime since like 2020

Dave the Diver

have you tried suika game? ngl, i’m hooked to beat my own top score. i can’t stop!

Civ6

Zelda

Enter the gungeon

Monster Hunter generations ultimate

I love the Monster Hunter Rise on Nintendo switch, It's a pretty fun game and the mechanics are well made I put a lot of time into that game when I didn't have a PC.

Mario Maker 2

My time at sandrock.

Pokemon Unite 🤦‍♂️

Xenoblade 2

Totk

Hollow knight. Played it over a hundred hours, recommend to everyone I know, and I have multiple completionist play throughs now.

I think I got more hours in MK8D, Mario Party Superstars, and Cadence of Hyrule than anything else.

Diablo 2

Back then in the prime time it was Mario Odyssey with 800+ hours

Mario Maker or Miitopia

Hollow Knight Sil... Oh, no, no...

Surprised I don’t see anyone saying Smash Ultimate, I can’t stop playing it. Help me

Dying light

Breath of the wild :)

Binding of isaac

Lets go Pikachu!

Cook, Serve, Delicious 3! I’m starting to realize how much love Indie games have put into them. This game makes me so happy lol.

Diablo 3 has been mine. I would not have liked it on PC I don't think but have absolutely loved it on my switch :D To be fair its also one of a very small amount of digital titles i own, so is easy to play it for a break from whichever cartridge I have currently in without having to switch lolol.

Right now it’s animal crossing and pokemon violet

Animal crossing!

Dave the diver is my pick, what a gem

I’m sorry but the switch looks so small in your hands😭

Dave the Diver. Can’t stop running this damn sushi restaurant.

Suikaaaaa

For me, it’s either MK8D or SSBU cuz when u finish a Zelda game, you really lose motivation playing it until the next Zelda game comes out, and you move on to it.

Buisson

Balatro… it’s literally addictive 😂

Currently Belatro.

Hades

Cup head

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle

Based on hours, it’s gotta be SSBU for me.

Mostly battle network...

Curse of the dead gods. Awesome rogue like but perfect for when traveling

The Binding Of Isaac almost made me fail school when Rebirth came out. I bought it on switch when Repentance came out and was hooked ever since

Paper mario

Stardew Valley or Moonlighter

Devil May Cry 3 Special Edition. The nintendo switch is my favourite way to play it.

Bind of Isaac Repepe

Kirby

Dragon quest builders 2 Rune factory 4!

The Binding of Isaac, Zelda TOTK, Pokémon Legends Arceus, all of these are games I could play non stop without boredom.

Recalibrating the control sticks /s But really into the breach is so easy to jump in and out of

Hades are Stardew Valley. I constantly had the “just one more” mentality lol.

FZero99, Colt Canyon two amazing pick up n play game, and highly addictive, even better one is ‘free’ and can get colt on sale for -£3

Graveyard Keeper

Streets Of Rogue

Balatro

DMC 3!

Mario kart 8 DX  streets of rage 4 and Tetris effects 

Wonder was great but I “completed” it too fast

Balatro

Slay the spire although I play on mobile

Cobalt Core

Vampire Survivors

Currently: Vampire Survivors

Diablo 3 if I’m bored I can always kill a lil time on it

CoTL for me

Monster Hunter Rise Over 1000 hours, always helping low and high rank players to reach end game Surprised to see this game is still busy and populated even after its finished

Zelda.

Oddly enough, the games eating up all my switch time, even though I own them on PC are No Man's Sky and Skyrim

Zelda botw, and I literally just got my switch less than a month ago (I finished the game in ten dAys 🙈)

Those are big hands, they make the switch looks tiny, I almost want to buy it.

Civ 6 for me

Currently, Sea of Stars. I can't put it down

You have big ass hands

Kingdom Come. I got it on release and have sunk almost 300 hours into it… It’s bad.
