1 month on from launch, its time to compare notes.
What have you been playing?
My log:
Legend of Zelda, Breath of the Wild: 65 hours or more. Beat the main quest. Will wait a while before going back to finish shrines etc.
Shovel Knight: 5 hours or more. Beat the shovel of hope campaign. Fantastic game. Hadn't played before.
I am Setsuna: 5 hours or more. Started at the weekend. Enjoying the combat and sprit nite systems a lot, even though they're a bit fiddly.
A few minutes:
Blaster Master Zero: up next after I am Setsuna is done
Snipperclips: working through this with a pal
Splatoon 2 testfire: still great, nor sold on dualies
Looking forward to Graceful Explosion Machines then Mario Kart
Breath of the Wild. 170+ hours. And so glad I am spending this much time. It has been great. Currently farming Star Fragments then will focus on the Lynels, Hinoxes and Dragons. Then visiting every location on the map as a final lap before my showdown with Ganon
The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild: 140 Hours+ - All dungeons, shrines, quests, just doing Seeds now. Shovel Knight: Treasure Trove: 5 Hours+ - Shovel Knight beaten, started Plague and Specter. Blaster Master Zero: Few Minutes (probably around 5 hours now) FAST RMX: 10 Hours+ Snipperclips: Cut It Out, Together!: - Few Minutes (About 3 hours) Snake Pass: Nothing yet, but it's ready to go!
Now Playing: Mario & Luigi Brothership, Sonic x Shadow Generations
Now Streaming: The Legend of Zelda: Echoes of Wisdom
Just passed the 70 hour mark in Zelda! ...I haven't even tackled my first dungeon yet - so I've still got many, many more hours to come!
...other than that, I played an hour-or-so of the Splatoon 2: Global Testfire - and my girlfriend and I played through the Snipperclips Demo (under an hour) to test out the split Joy-Con's
I'm more than happy just to play Zelda for the moment to be honest - but I've pre-ordered Mario Kart 8 Deluxe which'll be coming at the end of the month and should give my partner and I hundreds of hours of multiplayer fun! ..further down the line, I'm looking to expand my collection with Overcooked!, Stardew Valley and The Escapists 2 - and the likes of Yooka-Laylee, Splatoon 2, Snipperclips, Fast RMX (and a few others) are on my 'if I see it on sale' list!
To be fair, if a half-decent first person shooter comes to Switch, I'll be all set for a while - an open world single player adventure (Zelda), a great multiplayer racer (MK8D) and a decent online FPS (plus a few fun local multiplayer titles) would be a pretty solid foundation I think
@Spennymoor I'd kind of describe it more as an RPG myself - you play as an inmate looking to escape from prison...as an inmate, you have to conform to the prison rules: you'll be assigned a job (eg. laundry duty), you'll have to attend 'yard time' and 'roll calls' on time etc. - so it's kind of like a prison-sim at first! ..but, by interacting with other inmates and using the items you collect to craft useful weapons/items etc., you can begin to plot your escape attempt ..imagine an early top-down GTA game crossed with the TV show Prison Break and you won't be far off!
Zelda for like 70+ hours I believe. Aside from that, all I've played is the Splatoon 2 testfire and the Snipperclips demo. I'm at kind of an awkward moment with the system where my interest in Zelda is losing steam now that I've beaten the story and done a lot of the side activities, and none of the other games currently released interest me, at least not enough to warrant a purchase. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe can't come soon enough.
About 90 hours into BOTW with a lot still to do. 2 regions I haven't even visited yet. Want to beat all shrines before heading to the castle. A couple hours of snipperclips - great fun in short bursts. Tried out the Splatoon testfire and Japanese es hop demos too. Looking forward to MK8D this month
Zelda - 130 hours or more, this game is everything.
1,2 Switch played for a good few hours after many drinks on my birthday, a lot of fun!
Snipperclips- played a few hours with the misses. She still prefers MK8 so usually do a level and then 8 randoms on the Wii U (roll on the 28th)
Splatoon test fire - managed to get just over an hour in one session (randomly ran for 13 mins over the hour)
Liked what I saw and immediately booted up the Wii U after to compare and noticed the difference. Playing with a pro controller is incredible btw.
Mainly Breath of the Wild. Played Bomberman with the wife, added Fast RMX and I am Setsuna for after Zelda. I'm going to finish Zelda this weekend and wait for the DLC before completing all quests and shrines. Hopefully Disgaea 5 will be out before I finish them all as well as some VC stuff.
Zelda: 130+ hours
Fast racing: 2 hours
Bomberman: a few minutes (sorry!)
Kof 98: like half an hour (I play at work)
The rest is demos for now. Once I finish Zelda I'll buy more games but at this point it would be a waste of money. I'm on a embargo of ALL games until I beat Zelda.
Taiko is good for the soul, Hoisa!

I'm a Dream Fighter. Perfume is Love, Perfume is Life.
I haven't looked at my play times (found where it is once, and then never located it again), but probably 100+ on Zelda, maybe more. Maybe an hour or two on RMX, 5 or 6 on Bomberman, probably 5 or so on Blaster Master, 2 or so on Shovel Knight: Spectre, 3 on H-BH, 3 on Snake Pass, 3 on Snipperclips. Just playing with things here or there between Zelda since launch. Snake Pass is still fantastic, it's pulling in at #2 behind Zelda, but that's not a knock against RMX. You can only do that twitch gameplay so long.
STILL waiting for Setsuna.... No matter how utterly amazing it could be I'm still going to probably grumble through it for a few hours and move on after having waited so long...
