@Pizzamorg as a VN lover myself, it depends how much novel you really want your VN to be.
If you go for the classic VN style then you should probably try Steins:Gate Elite, YU-NO, Root:Film or Root:Double or if you can stomach a little more then definitely the house in fata morgana.
If you want a little bit more gameplay mixed into it, there is stuff like Va11halla, The Ace Attorney series, and AI:the somnium files that comes to mind.
If you go for a bit more of a walking around and making choices kind of gameplay, then you got something like night in the woods, Oxenfree and Life is Strange which is coming out now.
Now for the two games you mentioned:
Doki Doki Literature club is probably not a bad starting point, spinning the formula around a little bit. Just know that it definitely is not the best the genre has to offer, it is certainly pretty easy to get into though.
I haven't played Danganronpa yet (gonna play it this month lol), but it is probably loved for a reason, going a bit into the ace attorney direction with more crazyness as i have heard. Lots of people who played Visual novels only played ace attorney or Danganronpa so it is probably a great starting point as well

Never really had much interest in the Ace Attorney series, but walking around and making choices is my jam. True Colors is one of my GOTY, so I will take a look at Oxenfree and Night in the Woods.
@Pizzamorg Depends. Danganronpa is more of an adventure game than a visual novel insofar as it heavily integrates gameplay into the experience, whereas, I believe, DDLC is mostly a traditional visual novel in terms of gameplay. So I guess: do you want something more interactive and longer, or something shorter and less interactive?
I actually… do not know lol, now you are asking. I guess I want more interaction? Do you play the Danga games in order, or is there one that is significantly better than the others that can be played cold?
@Pizzamorg It's best to play them in order. DR2 is a direct sequel to the original and V3 features certain thematic connections and references that make it best played last.
I enjoyed finding the birds using the clues but the rest of the process to obtaining them was obnoxious (starting the battle and capturing). The only clue based Pokemon puzzle I remember disliking was the Regis in Gen 3 and their remakes.
I can agree to this to some degree. Had they just said go to the wild area or whatever and the Pokemon was in a fixed location, I wouldn’t have minded this nearly as much. But the addition of having to chase the Pokemon around or in Articuno’s case, having a Russian roulette as to whether it will spawn and then needing to solve extra puzzles, just was not fun to me at all. Especially as in the Moltres and Zaps case, it is just all smoke and mirrors, as they are on a fixed path, so you can just stand in place on their path and they’ll eventually just run into you. It is absolute rubbish.
Actually, they do have only a few locations they can spawn in and, at least moltres and articuno, follow set paths.
For moltres you can just go in and out of the dojo and about half of the time it will spawn basically in front of you, and you can engage it after two seconds on the bike.
For articuno, you can fly to the entrance to the snowy mountain and again most of the time it will be right there flying up the mountain on a fixed path, after a while it stops always on a very specific spot and you can fight it.
Zapdos seems to be the only one that actively avoids you, but since it doesn’t fly you can just go after it.
XCOM 2 runs well enough by my standards. It's not perfect, but it's way better than the original XCOM on Vita. Looks good in handheld mode, too.
As long as your standard isn't perfection, and are OK with imperfect-but-totally-playable performance, it's fine.

The Lynn figure just released, and I got mine in the mail from Japan. It looks great. Marth and Ike statues should be releasing soon, too (finally, some male characters getting some love).
How bout Monster Hunter fans?
The Palamute and Cohoot statue also just released and arrived. Awww... too adorable

@Ralizah
There’s also the Xenoblade 2 KOS-MOS statue (I unlocked KOS-MOS near the end of the game but used her all the way to the end after I got her), and Melia is releasing soon, too.
There’s Chinese knockoffs that actually look… basically identical to the real thing. Can grab both Pyra and Mythra combined for like $77 on Amazon. Box may come damaged but it’s the figures that matter.

Taller than I expected. Really need to rethink my shelving situation.

Woah, you weren't kidding. It's utterly wiped out. Crazy, since the collector edition wasn't even sold out leading up to release. Now not even the game itself is available. Word of mouth, maybe?
@Ryu_Niiyama
Shelving is a constant struggle. I had to make a pass and box up all figures that weren't amiibo or 1/7 scale statues... I just had too many of them, wasn't any room left.

@JaxonH I was surprised how long that CE stayed freely available. But yeah, stock has evaporated for everything related to that game, lol.
Well, good. The more success stories we have, the more companies will prioritize Switch going forward. Maybe Spike Chunsoft will start realizing what a goldmine the Switch is and port over the Zero Escape trilogy as well!
Good News for (EU) Customers -
Nintendo has to Refund Preorder Games, since they fall under the EU Law that allows 14 Day Refunds for online Purchases.
The E-Shop in Germany and Norway have updated this Option*, every other EU Country will follow.
(*since it was put in Charge as a Cooperation between them)
EDIT:
Short:
The Verdict says, that the Hook at the End of the Purchase is illegal and Nintendo has to omit to use it against Customers to hinder them to refund Games.
I don't agree with that at all. It's unfair to allow consumers 14 days to refund. That is ripe for abuse. Buy a game, play it for 2 weeks, then refund it. This is a clear case of pro-consumerism going too far.
Steam does it best. You get 2 hrs. That's plenty of time to see how the game looks and runs, without being so much time the consumer can abuse it.

Oh ya? Right on! That means gyro aiming, and a hybrid handheld version on top of it! I can't stand the current versions. Console doesn't have Gyro, and the Steam version forces Xbox and keyboard button prompts, which don't mix well with a PS5 controller used for gyro. It makes it crazy confusing trying to figure out which buttons to press, especially with Switch layout ingrained in my memory.

@JaxonH In cases where that happens, usually there's a catch. Like the difference between Steam and GOG's refund policies. I tested both out out of curiosity by buying The Witcher 3 and then refunding it on each platform after playing for a bit (I wanted to see how well the cloud save transfer worked between Switch on both platforms). GOG's policy, which says you can request a refund 30 days after purchase, sounds wildly ripe for abuse.
Steam is almost automated: if you fall within the refund window, it's processed really quickly. But GOG... they want answers about why you want a game refunded. I had to actually respond with written responses when I was refunding Witcher, and didn't feel 100% that they were going to honor my request because of how long the process took.
They did, but despite having a more open refund policy on paper, I feel far more confident in Steam's approach.

@NeonPizza I am just happy to see someone else that didn’t like Celeste. I said that and I thought I would need to break out the pepper spray. Indie sacred cows are serious business. Also why I am careful not to mention that I don’t find stardew valley to be that amazing (I like it but I still prefer story of seasons).
