Topic: The Switch Recommendations Thread

Has anyone here played the eShop game Rise of the Third Power? I just saw on another site that Limited Run is doing a 2-in-1 release of it with Ara Fell. Ara Fell is one of my favorite indies on Switch, but I've never even heard of Rise of the Third Power until now, and I'm wondering if it similar and also good.

@Barbiegurl777 There are three parts to the Naruto series. The original run which went all the way up until Sasuke left Konoha with Orochimaru and Naruto left Konoha with Jiraiya. The second part is Shippuden, which is Naruto's (and eventually Sasuke's) return to Konoha in the fight against The Akatsuki. And the last part is Boruto, which is the story of Naruto and Hinata's son, Boruto.

In terms of the games, Ultimate Ninja Storm 4 covers most of it well enough I suppose.

In my opinion, the height of the series was Naruto's fight against Pain.

After that fight Naruto basically became the defacto Hokage.

Has anyone tried the Bit.trip series on Switch to comment on how they play? I have the collection on Wii and rarely re-purchase games, but for only 49 cents each I might consider it for the ease of having them on Switch if they play well. I'm just concerned because they were made for the Wiimote and wondering if the controls hold up.

Hi,
does anyone know any similar game to Stardew Valley?
It was my first farm game on PC so I got it on Switch too, now I just wonder if there is another game like it for Switch?

@Lady_Galadhiel well, there’s Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons. They have similar gameplay.

@Eel
Thank you, I will check them out!

I played Story of Seasons games but I played them on PS4 as they have better performance than Switch version (in this case, I want 60 fps on PS4 than 30 fps on Switch).
You can try Doraemon Story of Seasons, Story of Seasons: Pioneers of Olive Town, Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town, Harvest Moon One World, Kitaria Fables for farming sim games.
The other games with farming on it (minor feature) such as Epic Chef, Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Dragon Quest Builders 2.
I grew up by Harvest Moon Back to Nature PS1 so I knew a lot of farming games by Marvelous.

@Anti-Matter
Thanks for the suggestions, I will check out Harvest Moon and Story of seasons, both games sound like they could be what I am looking for.
Some time ago I did read that Stardew Valley was inspired by Harvest Moon, is this correct?

@Lady_Galadhiel If you want something that leans more into combat rather than the farm-sim aspect, I would recommend Harvestella or Rune Factory over Harvest Moon and Story of Seasons.

@Magician
Thank you for the suggestions!
I did take a closer look on Harvestella, did download the free demo or free test trial before it did release on Switch, but I couldn't get into it.I think I did fall asleep while playing
I will check out Rune Factory.

I’m looking for a game suggestion. Something not overly long but not short either. Maybe a fps with light puzzle solving mechanics but no roguelikes or lites. Also no survival mechanic but must be fast paced and action oriented. It also must have a physical release that’s not a limited run.

@GameOtaku Journey to the Savage Planet is good and fits most of your criteria. The only thing is it's kind of a Metroidvania crossed with FPS so it's a bit more slow-paced and exploration-focused than a pure FPS, but it still has a good amount of action in it so might be worth a look.

@Dogorilla
Thanks I’ll look into it.

@SwitchVogel Please, please… can you review Belle Boomerang? Not sure what the protocol is with that for you guys at NLife for reviews or requesting reviews. It came out on Saturday. I had a lovely time with it over the weekend and I’d love to see your thoughts on it. And honestly too, just about no one seems to be talking about the game. Feels like a title more people should know about.

I’m choosing between a couple of games which are on sale in the e-shop:

Shovel knight: King of cards
Hoa
To the moon
Ender lilies

I can only buy one (to limit my backlog and the new Zelda releases tomorrow…) Any suggestions? 🙂

@Linkus To the moon, I've heard and seen nothing but good things for it.

@Owl1 Same here, it seems very good!

@TheBigBlue This would be the recommendations thread.

Anyway, looking at what you have, I'd recommend:

• Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes
• Hyrule Warriors: Age of Calamity
• All three of the Xenoblade Chronicles games on Switch, as well as the prequel expansion to XC2 called Torna: The Golden Country.
• Kirby's Return to Dream Land Deluxe
• Kirby and the Forgotten Land
• Pokemon Legends: Arceus
• Luigi's Mansion 3
• Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, and, if you like it, the sequel "Sparks of Hope"
• Super Mario Odyssey
• Advance Wars 1 + 2: Re-Boot Camp
• Triangle Strategy

Just as a start.

@TheBigBlue
About the Switch games you asked before, here is my recommendations.

Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles
Go Vacation
Story of Seasons: Friends of Mineral Town
Cat Quest 1 & 2
Nexomon + Nexomon Extinction
Megaman Battle Network Legacy Collection
Moving Out
ARMS
Little Friends: Dogs & Cats
Geminose: Animal Pop stars
Wheel of Fortune + Jeopardy
LEGO CITY UNDERCOVER

Was just browsing AmazonNA and noticed physical copies of Wreckfest are down to $20. If you're a gamer who has some nostalgia for the Destruction Derby series back on the PS1, I can't recommend Wreckfest enough.
