Took me a few days because of Nintendo being cheap and wanting to make things difficult, but I finally got the Switch hooked up to my 5.1 sound bar for surround sound. It's awesome, but....aside from Monster Hunter Generations Ultimate (I have the Japanese version) what other games use it? I looked around the eShop and what others have said, things seem to be all over the place.
Like with Breath of the Wild, I don't own it but I heard that the game supports it, but it's not listed on the game's page. Same can be said about Minecraft (a game that I do have)...
Anyways is there a full list of confirmed games with 5.1 support? I was just playing Hyrule Warriors and that game doesn't have it, so we can scratch that one off.

Keep it PG-13-ish.
I imagine that audio will not be a priority for most Switch games (sadly) and would be one of the first and easiest compromises made in order to bring down file sizes for physical releases. Oddly, nobody seems to talk about this and focus only on graphical performance.
For example, Just Dance 2017 shipped on a 16GB cartridge, and the file size was more than halved, I believe, when Ubisoft decided to cheap out on Just Dance 2018, which ships on an 8GB cartridge. The lower quality video was immediately apparent, and it is quite disappointing that A/V quality is clearly not a priority for most developers/publishers where the Switch is concerned. Ironically, the A/V quality of the Just Dance games is likely to be better on Wii U unless Ubisoft decide to use 16GB cartridges again.
Porygon did nothing wrong.
