Mine is without doubt, “Lego City Undercover”.

Love playing it with my kids, love getting jokes they don’t

Mine is Sonic Mania Plus because I love trying to get better speedrun times in the Time Attack mode.

Currently Playing: Genshin Impact, Honkai: Star Rail, and whatever else I feel like playing

Sonic Mania. I guess ask me again if I ever play Witcher 3 but otherwise, easy answer.

I became interested in buying a Switch because of one thing.

A portable version of Bayonetta.

I've been smitten with the platform ever since.

Final Fantasy X HD - This was instrumental in getting me into JRPGs back on the PS2, and was thrilled to see it holds up pretty much perfectly today when I played it on Switch.

If I have to pick a game I played for the first time on Switch, that would go to YS VIII (fantastic action based JRPG), or Astral Chain if it counts.

Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)

I love LEGO City Undecover, which is funny because I’m not a huge fan of LEGO games in general.

Team Sonic Racing, Puyo Puyo Tetris and Champions, Asphalt 9, New Super Lucky's Tale, and Sonic Mania Plus. There's probably more, but these are the ones I could think of off the top of my head.

The resident Trolls superfan! Saw Trolls Band Together via early access and absolutely loved it!

Good question. For me, I think The Witcher 3 just edges out Hollow Knight - but I still haven’t started Dragon Quest XI S, so there’s a chance I could Yet change my mind.

For me it would be a toss up between the Witcher 3 or XCOM 2.

Honourable mentions would go to Skyrim, and Dead Cells.

For third party AAA games, does Mario & Rabbids count? I know it's a Mario game, but it was made by Ubisoft and also published by them in most of the world. Otherwise I'll go for Civilization 6, because that's a superb port. Lego City Undercover is certainly up there though. It's like the GTA of the Lego franchise.

For indie games it's between Golf Story and Stardew Valley. I loved Hollow Knight on PC but not enough to buy it again on Switch yet.

The Bioshock Collection 3 great games for the price of one.

In terms of something exclusive to the Switch it would be a coin toss between Mario + Rabbids and Candace Of Hyrule but both use Ninty properties.

@Magician 620 physical games = smitten?

I'm gonna have to recalibrate my definition of attraction.

You guys had me at blood and semen.

What better way to celebrate than firing something out of the pipe?

Nothing is true. Everything is permitted.

Not sure if this would be classified as an Indie, but Steamworld Dig 2 is in my top 3 games (including Nintendo) on the Switch.

As @Matt_Barber and @jump said, Mario + Rabbids is fantastic, but feels like a cheat as it's a Mario game.

After that...Wolfenstien 2 and Bioshock are both amazing.

It was such a breath of fresh air. A great JRPG with very intimate storylines, great battle mechanics, awesome soundtrack and lovely visuals. Too bad of the final boss though. The grinding required for that one wasn't much fun. But other than that, I loved it!
