Monster Hunter XX: 35 hrs Splatoon 2: 110 hrs Zelda Breath of the Wild: 235 hrs
Those are the 3 highest played games on my list. Obviously Splatoon 2 will reach hundreds of hours before I'm done with it, and I imagine MHXX will top out at 400 hrs or so (already put 400 hrs into the game on 3DS via Generations before transferring to Switch, so I'll total nearly 1,000 hrs in this game before I'm done).
I find that incredible. 3 games that will account for, in total, close to 1500 hrs (counting my previous 400 hrs in MH before transferring- the play time still says 435 hrs when I choose my save file)

@JaxonH BotW will go further too for you via the Champions Ballad DLC.
My top 3 most played Switch games are:
1. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe: 110 hours
2. Splatoon 2: 100 hours
3. Fast RMX: 20 hours
To be fair to BotW, I did spend about 80 hours on the Wii U version so the Switch version has been mainly playing catchup. After playing Switch for long enough, the concept of Nintendo games being limited to only a TV screen started to become a nuisance so that's when I started double dipping on games like BotW. I'd honestly be happy if all Wii U games I own got a Switch port eventually though that's rather unrealistic.
@Grumblevolcano
Ports or sequels. Either or. I'd still like Mario Maker and DKC Tropical Freeze, and Bayonetta 2 and Wonderful 101 (which those last 2 seem to be happening, so thats cool). And maybe Tokyo Mirage Sessions. That game deserves better.
I would say Pikmin 3, but if we get Pikmin 4 then that makes a port less important. Same for Xenoblade X. We're getting a sequel so I wouldn't be too upset if XCX never came. Splatoon 2 came, thankfully, which was needed because of the hackers in the first game.

Heh, and here I am the one with the most time, yet I can only boast of a measly 215 hours at most on BOTW, being followed shortly by 65 hours for Rabbids, and 40 hours for Fate/Extella. Perhaps Xenoverse 2 will see me use my Switch a lot more, it has a long multiplayer lifespan after all. May we receive many more games of it's kind.
There's no reason at all why Nintendo should go handheld only. They make money selling Pro Controllers, docks, extra Joy Cons etc. There will be people out there buying Switch solely to use as a home Console which also makes them money. No way they'll cut those revenue streams off. Not the company that brought you the Circle Pad Pro.
I just wouldn't be nearly upset if it didn't come, because at least we'll have Xenoblade 2. Imagine if we weren't getting a new Xenoblade game. Theeeen it would suck not having XCX

@JaxonH I'm with Grumble on this one, XCX is on a whole, different from Xenoblade as a series. But whether or not 2 will be comparable with 1? I don't think so. Xenoblade seems to be taking the Final Fantasy route, as in: being numbered matters jack all, and they're different games regardless, merely using the franchise name to indicate what one can expect.
@electrolite77 I'll have to take some small amount of comfort in that. It's been rough sailing on the Switch ship with how some third-parties receive the system, and it has damaged the amount of faith I'm willing to grant any one company.
@UmniKnight
I never argued they're exactly the same.
I simply said it hurts less having a sequel. And it does. Different as they may be they're still extremely similar. Same type of battle system, same type of crazy world to explore, same type of quest system, same type of story, etc. Playing one will feel very reminiscent of the other and will definitely scratch that same itch.
So sure, be with Grumble. But that doesn't inherently make you against me, cause I never argued they were identical games.

@JaxonH I never meant to imply I was "against" you, merely that my opinion aligns with Grumble's in this case.
I believe it shall have the same core aspects, aye, but with subtle changes. The main difference, will be in the story, both due to the change in how it looks, as well as the premise that it is set upon. I felt very engaged and hold the belief that XCX has a good, if not great story. I have my doubts as to XC2's, since I've heard of that "Boy meets girl" premise, and I then look at Rex and Pyra, and it leads me to scratch my head.
