Allow me to recommend DKC Tropical Freeze. Honestly, I have alot of games I love, but this is, by a landslide, the best 2D platformer of all time. It's that good.
It's crazy how the reception to this game has changed now that people have played it and see how good it is. It got shafted in some reviews at a time when the general public was unhappy with Nintendo, and even more unhappy to see DKC instead of Metroid, but it's got a cult following with countless others who will tell you the same thing I'm telling you now- it's the best 2D platformer ever made.
Also, Bayonetta 2.

@Grumblevolcano But we already know Retro is not working on Prime 4, so I still don't understand why people were complaining back in the day. They made three Metroid games, but a second DKC game (and arguably the best platformer in decades) was too much? And it somehow made the game less good? I also believe that Returns sold more than all of the Prime games sold combined, which was another reason to give that franchise a go. And it was Retro Studios themselves who wanted to do another DKC game after Returns. If someone would still complain about the Retro, Metroid and DKC after the Tropical Freeze port, he/she is simply insane
@JaxonH When you put it like that then wow, we're going to be really busy on our Switch's. I've still to play Skyrim and LA Noire,another 2 big time killers. Then the top drawer indies I already have but have yet to play, titles like Steamworld Dig 2,The Next Penelope Oxenfree and Lumo. Plus the 4 horror games I mentioned earlier that will be out this quarter. I just bought The Escapists 2 and that looks like it will be another huge time sink for me, once I get to grips with it anyway.
Yep DKTF is as good as platforming gets. Platformers are my favourite genre and while I wouldn't say it's my number 1 of all time, it's right up there behind Yoshi's Island and Super Mario World.
@Octane Well I wouldn't be surprised if something similar happened regarding Kid Icarus Uprising being announced before Smash 4. It's a simple case of a franchise's fanbase getting desperate for a new game.
@Grumblevolcano Those people are reading into that stuff way too much. I don't think those games are even made by the same team. Same director, but Sakurai can direct multiple games at the same time. That's even more true now that Nintendo doesn't really have separate teams anymore. All their in-house developed games are credited under Nintendo EPD since the merger of their divisions in 2015.
The only retail titles I have so far are Odyssey, DB Xenoverse 2, Xenoblade 2, and MK8D, so between what's coming (never had a Wii U) and what I haven't yet played, there's more on Switch than I'll ever be able to play, lol.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@RR529
For a person like you, it must be insane. Good luck haha!
For me, I'm definitely not getting Hyrule Warriors again. I liked it, but not enough to buy again. DK: Tropical Freeze I might buy, though. I enjoyed it on the Wii U but never really scraped it o the bottom, so we'll see.
But Kirby's gonna be awesome. That'll be fun to play with my wife. And if the new Mario Tennis is a return to form, I'm going to put hundreds of hours into that (the N64 tennis was probably my most-played game with my friends). And yea... I never actually played Dark Souls, so I'm excited.
That's not even considering the new Yoshi, and have we heard anything about Octopath Traveler?
@PuppyToucher You're welcome! I'm thinking of doing the same with Mario Kart because I always want it handy. It's a multiplayer game that you don't really want to go somewhere without.
@JaxonH Thanks for your recommendation! I missed it the first time around because I didn't have much money at the time...well I still don't really but I'm doing a little better But I already have some of the other Wii U ports so DK will finally get my attention!
I have both Bayonetta games on Wii U and have played them to completion, and they're just pure fun. I might buy 2 again because having one of my favourite games ever on a portable is tempting. But if I'm doing that I might as well buy both
...I still have so many games to catch up on that I don't know I can keep up. It's a good change from the Wii U's final years though. Too much is better than too little in this case I suppose...
@OorWullie It's not really a fair comparison, based on the versions available now I'd say Fire Emblem Warriors but part of that is to do with the limitations that came with making Legends a 3DS game rather than just adding more DLC to the Wii U version.
If Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition runs as well as Fire Emblem Warriors Switch and keeps the Legends difficulty curve, I think I'd prefer Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition.
My view about VC is pretty much only be concerned about whether it exists or not if it doesn't appear whenever Nintendo decides to properly reveal the paid online subscription. Nintendo gains nothing by revealing it before then.
@Grumblevolcano
You can switch characters in Hyrule Warriors Legends just like FE Warriors, right? I don't think I could do without that feature going forward. Of course, FE Warriors also let you command units, which was even better.

@JaxonH Yeah you can switch characters in Legends and direct them to keeps.
The gameplay video from the Direct shows the character select screen which suggests that this feature is carried over (There are four character slots near the bottom of the screen I think...)
Edit - I didn't know that there was already a reply, I was checking the video again to be sure
Tropical Freeze is for sure Top 5 platformers of all time (Super Mario World, Super Mario 3 All Stars version, Mario Odyssey, Banjo Tooie I think are better but that's a debate for another day!!) But the best of what is an incredible series with so many great memories. I won't be buying again as I always have it on WiiU if I fancy playing but highly recommend to anyone who hasn't played it yet.
