@TheLobster I think you're good for now. He has about 100 hours or more of games to play till Pokemon comes out. Plus he can download all the free to play games. Maybe get him an online sub when it's available.

If I was only ever able to have Monster Hunter and EO games in the future, I would be a happy man.
As for Panic Button and what the're working on: if it' a bethesda game(which is highly likely) it would be dope to work on Doom Eternal. Games like Fallout 76 or Rage 2 are not a possibility, I believe, because of their huge open world nature.
If it' an older game, i'd like to see a Prey Definitive Edition of some sort with all the updates/dlc they announced at E3.
If it's not a Bethesda game then something among the lines of Borderlands The Handsome Collection would be great especially with the online service on the horizon.
Did people see the game My Friend Pedro? So far it looks really awesome, but I don’t think nlife reported on it, but maybe I just missed it. It’s for Switch and pc.
I think as of last month my Switch physical library (44) outnumbers my Wii U physical library (41). I'm coming for you Wii (77). (I don't count digital games because I can't put them on my shelf... I know, weird.)
You know, I don't think I've ever seen a system with this many fighting games. Well maybe Vita, I didn't pay much attention to its library honestly outside of tons of JRPGs. But in about a year and a half we'll have
Dragon Ball Xenoverse 2 and FighterZ
Ultra Street Fighter 2 and Anniversary Collection
BlazBlue: Cross Tag Battle
Super Smash Brothers
Brawlout, Rivals of Aether and Pocket Rumble
Arms
Almost the entire NeoGeo's library worth of retro fighters
Pokken Tournament DX
Naruto Shippuden Trilogy
Blade Strangers
Guilty Gear (yes the original) and XX Core Accent whatever long name I can't be bothered to look up
SNK Heroines
And probably some more I'm forgetting about. It's really kind of crazy, if Mortal Kombat and Soul Calibur were on here it'd have basically everything (Yes I'm classifying Pokken as a Tekken game in that case, and I'd love to see Jump Heroes too).
@link3710 was surprised DBFZ on Switch didn't get a bit more exposure at E3 from Nintendo it seems to have garnered a pretty good audience elsewhere. Outside of Smash which of these titles would you recommend to a beginner. I'm pretty competent myself (mostly Mortal Kombat and Injustice) but don't know enough about the genre and would like to find something the missus could play with me even better if it has some kind of handicap system.
@JaxonH@Grumblevolcano we had a great time and still do with Arms which is kind of what inspired wanting to go for another. She has only ever been casually into gaming but the Switch has really brought her into gaming a lot more and she is stoked for Smash this year but it would be nice to have another fighter to play until then.
Out of curiosity is there anything that makes Ultra Smash more newcomer friendly than the collection?? I thought she might have been daunted by the number of titles so I did think about Ultra. Where I live I have to import from the UK through a local retailer and there mark up and pricing structure means I'd be paying the same £60-£75 for either title so price isn't a decider for me. Also don't have eshop access here as we don't have debit or credit cards and importing eshop cards has been difficult.
@bluemage1989 Yeah, the fighting genre is rather hard to break into. Pokken seems to have simplified things relative to Tekken games, so that one might be a good bet. Rivals of Aether is like a mini Smash Bros, same with Brawlout. And if you enjoy the properties, that can make it easier to get into either DBZ or Naruto titles. As for the Street Fighters? Ultra Street Fighter is an HD remake of 2, which is just one of the many games in the collection. I don't think it's any more beginner friendly, though I could be wrong about that, Street Fighter has never been my thing.
@link3710 will definitely look into Rivals of Aether and Brawlout and try the Pokken demo with her. The big issue I've found is that I can play fighters decently I'm not super into them and don't devote huge amounts of time to them but normally get a good handle on games from the series I enjoy like MK and Injustice but my wife she struggles with the Xbox One controller and greatly prefers a single joy con set up she's also not the greatest at combos but I think a lot of that is because of the Xbox controller issue so Arms was a great game for her we put a lot of hours into that and while they did a great job adding content I think its time to find something new. She played Smash on WiiU with me a bit but she's looking at gaming a lot differently now she plays the Switch and becoming far more involved with the Switch than any othet console. The skills gap does make choosing a fighter hard especially compared to genres like platforming and racing where she is a lot more skilled.
Ultra Street Fighter 2 is, imo, the only way to play SFII. It makes all other versions completely irrelevant. I simply cannot stand pixelated graphics for Street Fighter. I spent 10 years of my life playing pixelated games growing up, and I just don't want to do it anymore when we live in an age of technology that can provide smoother, higher fidelity graphics. I'm no graphics elitist and I don't need 4K or even 1080p. But it has to look smooth. I don't want to see a little square pixel dots all over the screen if given the choice. That aside (and there is still a pixel mode for the people who somehow prefer that style), it's just the ultimate version of Street Fighter 2, and even has added characters.
The Collection's value comes from the Street Fighter 3 games, although I admit there is some value in the nostalgia of owning all the other versions of SFII. But I will never play them given the fact I own Ultra Street Fighter 2. Of course, I still enjoy SF3 despite being pixel graphics (as I enjoy other games that are pixel graphics), but they look much better than SF2 graphically for one, and for two there's simply no better HD option for them. If there was I would be playing that instead.
Don't take this to mean I hate all pixelated games because I don't, but it's certainly not my preference. I was ecstatic to see Mega Man 11 finally upgrade into the HD era. Don't get me wrong- I love the original games to death and will always love them, but Idk if I could take another 8-bit Mega Man. It was time. It was...
Nintendo Switch Online is consider a "Successor" to Virtual Console
"The Virtual Console successor is Nintendo Switch Online, right? With the mentality that says we're going to be offering a slate of games, and it's a slate that's going to increase over time. For many of these games, there's going to be additional online capability provided in those games. That's the vision we have for how to best bring our legacy content to Nintendo Switch.
We do [believe people will subscribe to Switch Online], and I say that because what we've laid out is a proposition where, yes you get the competitive play accessibility, you also get the cloud save, and you get access to the legacy content. That's a fantastic proposition for $20 a year. We believe that it's not going to be any type of issue for us. In fact, it's going to enable us to continue offering a varied slate of opportunities from an online experience standpoint."
