@Anti-Matter I believe there’s a few minigames that can be played docked. And you can use the garage builder docked for the first time, with the joycon acting like a wiimote pointer.

Pokemon Sw/Sh and Shantae and the Seven Sirens before FFVIIR for me. Assuming there are no big surprises scheduled for early 2020, which is always possible with Nintendo.
Currently Playing: Metroid Prime 4: Beyond (NS2); Corpse Factory (PC)
@IceClimbers That's disappointing. I loved everything I've seen of that game so far. Still, my backlog alone will last me all of the first half of next year so...
So many games I’m excited for. Even just the big ones- there’s Atelier Ryza, Luigi’s Mansion 3, Pokémon Sword, Assassin’s Creed Rebel Collection (with gyro), Call of Juarez (with gyro), Alien Isolation (with gyro), Samurai Showdown, Tokyo Mirage Sessions #FE Encore, Final Fantasy CC, Mega Man Zero/ZX Coll, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Final Fantasy VII, Trials of Mana Remake, Persona 5 Scramble, Gods and Monsters, Darksiders Genesis, Panzer Dragoon, DOOM Eternal, Pillars of Eternity 2, Hollow Knight Silksong, The Outer Worlds (Switch), Xenoblade Chronicles Definitive Ed, No More Heroes 3, and of course the usual Bayonetta 3, SMTV, Zelda BotW2, Yokai Watch 4, [insert game coming 2021 or beyond here].
But as for games I’m really, really excited for, like on par with The Witcher 3 or Astral Chain or Ori and the Blind Forest or Dragon Quest XI S or Divinity Original Sin 2, that are definitely 2019-2020 releases... that’s a much shorter list.
Luigi’s Mansion 3 because the game just looks incredible. I loved the last entry and this looks even better. Assassins Creed Rebel Collection because it’s two of the best games in the series, and I loved what I played of AC4. I continue to have never played through a AC game all the way, and despite my best intentions with AC3, there were too many other games coming out. But this is a more realistic AAA game and I like to keep a few of those around to scratch the itch. Trials of Mana is one of my absolute most hype games. Even more than Xenoblade or Final Fantasy. Final Fantasy VII even though it’s only episode 1 in a split up series. Still not sure if I want to play or wait. Persona 5 Scramble because holy cow, that new trailer ammirite?! Xenoblade Chronicles HD as it’s The only game in the series I haven’t played through, and I love the series. The Outer Worlds because the game looks great and I’ll be wanting a deep, meaty Fallout type game to play on Switch.

Risk of Rain 1&2, Slay the Spire, and Children of Morta are the can't-miss games of November on Switch for me. I'm still on the fence for Death Stranding on PS4. I'll probably settle with watching a Lets Play or waiting for a deep discount. December? Neverwinter Nights, Heroland, and Avicii Invector.
Arriving November 14th, I think The Touryst from Shin'en is going to be something special, but it's going to get buried by Pokemon S/S.
Switch Physical Collection - 1,537 games (as of December 22nd, 2025)
Switch 2 Physical Collection - 4 games (as of December 8th, 2025)
I got so much to play from now til Feb. Lm3 already preloaded, grabbing lion king/Aladdin collection, AC rebel collection, and the witcher 3 in November or December. Not to mention I'm working my way thru Yooka Laylee and the IL. I know I'll be grabbing some eshop games too. Possibly still a hat in time, super luckys tale, Mario and sonic Olympics, and a couple others im sure. Lots are just having to get passed on at this time. That's good though bc by the time I'm ready to play them price should drop.
@Magician
Getting Risk of Rain 2 now that they announced gyro is being patched in, plus physical release. And Slay the Spire physical, which I hear is great.
Since only so many digital games can fit on a 1TB microSD, I’ve been using the spare duplicate v2 Switch for physical releases only (unless a game is digital only), so that I can have a system where everything I own is accessible (as opposed to the other where only the best 1TB are digital).
Death Stranding, if I’m being completely honest, isn’t doing it for me. I never was a fan of Kojima, so I’m not buying based on anything other than how the game looks, and right now it’s somewhere between Mario & Sonic Olympics 2020 and Vampyr on my interest scale. Last of Us 2 is much more my style (despite not being an Uncharted fan either- Last of Us genre fit the gameplay style much better, took Resident Evil to task).
Touryst looks good. I’m sure it’ll do well enough. It’s a Shinen indie after all.
@NintendoByNature
Witcher 3 is so good. It’s amazing the game didn’t grab me like this the first time I tried playing it. I think that just comes down to being stuck on the TV. Same reason I quit playing Persona 5, even Monster Hunter World Iceborn (granted, I already had my fill after 600 hours of World + Generations Ultimate) and God knows how many other games.
It’s a game killer for me now. Doesn’t matter how good the game is. If it’s not on the Switch I just can’t seem to stay interested. I am enjoying The Witcher 3 so much, I started looking into playing The Witcher 2 next. I have it on X1 via BC, but then the problem arises where it’s stuck on the TV. I can buy on STEAM and play on TV and handheld via GPD Win 2 with cross save, but that handheld doesn’t seem as comfortable now that I’ve gotten accustomed to Switch all these years. It’s doable but I’m not yet sure if I’ll go that route.
I’m trying to think of the next big game to play after this that can suck me in this deep. Can always go back to Dragon Quest XI S and Divinity Original Sin 2 I suppose... probably will.
Anyways, got distracted there. Meant to say, Witcher 3 is awesome and you’ll in all likelihood love it. The Switch version is great- it looks and plays better than even on the GPD Win 2 using the downgrade mod with enlarged fonts, which is an amazing feat. And the physical version is Deluxe to the max. Nice cardboard box it comes in with a huge fold out map, thank you note card, character lore guide, stickers... and of course the full fat 32gb cart. Though having this game digital is a dream if you can afford the space. It’s so good, it makes me want to play Skyrim. Ooh, Skyrim! That’s the game I should play next! Just gotta learn to stop picking everything up and maxing the weight limit. Running around like a hoarder in a junk yard, stuffing pockets fat with so many cheese wedges, bottles, axe heads, and other misc items I’m waddling like a penguin trying to find my stolen shack so I can bury the loot in a barrel in the basement that’s already brimming over with all manner of useless tat, to the point the lid won’t even stay shut.
@JaxonH I just can’t get into Skyrim. I’ve tried four times across different platforms, and I just get meh. Interestingly, I could play Fallout 3/4/NV till a system broke. I guess i just like the lore and atmosphere more.
But I was a hoarder in those, so I feel your pain. If I wasn’t perpetually at max weight limit, I was playing it wrong 😂
