Yes Sir! The OLED version, you are right there are so so many good titles haha i want to play them all but need to be careful not to jump from game to game without finishing them
Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes is the biggest surprise upset of the year for me. Wow.
I was always buying it (it's Fire Emblem, of course I'm buying it) but I can't say I've been excited for it. Haven't bothered discussing it much as a result. But this demo has SOLD ME. It's so much better than I was expecting. It runs well, looks clean and sharp on the OLED tv with mClassic and high sharpening filter, and the gameplay is easily the pinnacle of the genre. The movesets are excellent, there's tons of depth, it's way easier to understand maps and giving orders now (was one of my biggest issues with the last one- it was too confusing giving orders), and the characters and story is really well done. They even voiced Byleth!
I'm playing with female Shez, male Byleth on Normal Classic. You can change from Classic to Casual from menu at any time, but not the other way around (just like Three Houses). You can freely switch the difficulty though, unlike Three Houses which only let you bump it down to an easier mode.
4 full chapters, and the save data transfers to the full game. That's a seriously good chunk of free content. I recommend downloading the demo, clearing the first 4 chapters and see what you think.

@JaxonH What's the performance like? The Age of Calamity demo ran terribly from my memory and I'm wondering if this has similar framerate issues. If not, I might get it after playing FE3H myself.

It runs great. It doesn't have the performance mode of the last one, but performance is solid as it gets.

I just watched a framerate analysis and was surprised to see it's actually unlocked. It feels smoother than expected because the rate of change is so gradual.
It does seem to have some very brief flickers to 28 fps here and there but by and large stays in the 30-40 range.
The exception to this seems to be when flashy canned animations are playing out with tons of effects, it can drop into the low 20s, but this is not when you have control of your character, and all the effects on screen make it hard to notice anyways.
But ya, play the demo and see for yourself. It feels good.

Could any of you give me some game recs? I'm going on holiday soon, and I'm taking my Switch, it'll be for two months. So I plan to get an NSO Game Voucher to get two games. I'm leaning towards Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze, but which other game would y'all recommend?

DKC Tropical Freeze is the single greatest 2D platformer of all time. Impeccable taste, I must say.
As for another, there's sooo many good games to recommend. Monster Hunter Rise is one of the best games on Switch, offers hundreds of hours of content (even 50-100 for more casual players), and the Sunbreak expansion is releasing in 3 weeks. There's also Sniper Elite 4 and Zombie Army 4- two of the best shooters with gyro aiming. And Resident Evil Revelations Collection is superb. Metroid Dread and the two Ori games are absolute gems. Fire Emblem Three Houses and Triangle Strategy and Mario Rabbids Kingdom Battle are all strategy gems. Shin Megami Tensei V, Xenoblade Chronicles and Final Fantasy X are all excellent JRPGs. There's just too many to list.

I expect Nintendo to pimp the upcoming release of Mario Strikers Battle League during SGF. I assume there'll be zero new Switch announcements here. Perhaps we'll get a couple or few third party games that are "coming to consoles" and might make their way to the Switch "at a later date". Geoff Keighley probably doesn't have the same degree of stroke he had with Nintendo with Reggie gone.

@JaxonH Yeah, I had a great time with DKC: Returns, the level design in that game was extraordinary. So to hear that DKC: Tropical Freeze is that good... vindicates my feeling. Thanks!
As for the rest of your recommends... I have most of them! Monster Hunter Rise I have, Metroid, Fire Emblem (loved it to pieces and will be getting Three Hopes!), Mario&Rabbids too, and all three RPG picks, of which I loved all of them! What's your thoughts on Triangle Strategy versus Kirby? Could be down to those two for the second voucher.

@TheJGG I echo the same ideas of JaxonH. Tropical Freeze is seriously one of the best 2D platformers I've ever played. Can't recommend it enough, especially if you liked Returns.

I love that every three or four months when Tropical Freeze gets brought up in this thread, it gets endless praise. Best Switch game ever. It low diffs everything else released on the Switch.
The Harder the conflict, the more glorious the triumph. When the going gets tough, the tough gets going.

Triangle Strategy. Kirby is good, but it's not masterpiece grade. Whereas Triangle Strategy is one of the best srpgs I've ever played. It's truly excellent.

TMNT Shredder's Revenge releases on June 16th, has up to 6 player co-op both locally and online. Only $24.99 too. Oh and it's coming to Game Pass day 1!
Excited about this one. Gonna buy it on Switch for that handheld play and download it on Xbox via Game Pass for that TV play.
