ie. what games and or accessories should I get?

[metllicamilitia]

Whenever I get one myself, top 2 games, first 2 games, I will be buying are Breath of the Wild, and Mario Kart 8.

[gooby pls]

When i get a switch for myself , first 5 i will get are Skyrim, Super Mario Odyssey, Zelda Breath of the Wild, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe and Rayman Legends

Would definitely agree with @metllicamilitia having Zelda & Mario kart in your collect is a must have. The amount of game time you can get on both will be over 100 hours haha. 😃 Plus, having a multilayer game like Mario, allows you to share the fun.

For those owners of the Nintendo Switch, How do people carry the switch in their bag? Is there like a protective case?

I quite like the:
Butterfox Hard Carry Case for $24.99 or the YZtree Carrying Game Traveler Deluxe Travel Case for $10.99. Both do a great job 😃 I personally haven't used them but they have good reviews so that's what I would pick up.

Or if you want something a little more "official" you can always get the Nintendo Switch Premium Console Case

I hear snake pass is a great game.

Zelda, Mario Kart, ARMS and Splatoon 2 for games. Pro Controller, Dock Sock to prevent scratching by the dock, and a protective case are must-have accessories. A stand to use in tabletop mode is also useful.

And, if you can afford it, the battery that's been recommended here on iMore and on a number of other Switch sites, the Anker PowerCore+ 26800 PD with 27W PD Portable Charger, is really useful for on-the-go use. It allows you to charge the Switch while you are playing it--which most portable batteries won't do.

Just throw it in my laptop bag and its ready to go. Not much to buy unless your bag gets thrown around a lot. Would def put a screen protector on day 1. The little guy can take a beating.

[TheGreatAstronomer]

I know I've heard stories where people have put it in their bag and have had it wake up, throwing heat everywhere and making the inside of their bag like a heater! I think a case would be wise, even to just save battery life from it waking up.

Mario Kart 8 and the Hybrid Cover are a must. Secondarily a Pro controller and PuyoPuyo Tetris.

[GlassHasMass]

I'd recommend you get Cave Story. It's an AMAZING side-scroller that despite being 13 years old is STILL being remastered! Incredible game

What's pleasing me is how many games already qualify as must-haves. Zelda and Mario Kart are the obvious ones so far, but then there's Splatoon 2, and likely Super Mario Odyssey when it shows up... there'll be no shortage of things to play even if you don't care for third-party titles.

[Robert Newman4]

If ai could have just one game - it would be MarioKart!

[CorneliusTheTurtle]

What is Splatoon 2 about? I've never heard of it.

[splatune]

If you don't have Mario Kart 8, it's by far the best Mario Kart game. Highly recommend that. And if you don't already have Shovel Knight and/or The Binding of Isaac they're both maybe the best indie games in the last few years on any of their respective platforms tbh. And now that Splatoon 2 is out, I have only played a bit of it at a friend's house, but it looks to be the must buy. And Zelda obv.

[GlassHasMass]

What is Splatoon 2 about? I've never heard of it.

SPLATOON is a first person shooter that has an insteresting twist.

Instead of firing bullets, you spray 'ink' a liquid substance that covers the ground and walls.

You can then "transform" and swim through the ink. If your in the ink in squid-form you're hidden and can't be seen.

Here's a link to game play:

It's hard to explain, but I will say the game is incredibly FUN!

Have you heard of the first Splatoon?

[IvanKaramazov]

Zelda is the obvious answer, as pretty much everyone has said. I would add ARMS as well, because it's genuinely pretty great but also one of those weird games that could only exist on the Switch.
