I don't know how I feel about that to be honest. The game's fun but for €50 I feel like it selling like hotcakes is sending a bad message, you know?
Well considering 1 2 Switch sold a million, NSO has been a huge success, Nintendo's non-Pokemon mobile games became more successful after their monetization went f2p (read: became awful and greedy), and nothing about Switch Sport stands out especially negatively from your average Nintendo made sports game this gen, I think it sends no message at all.

I was the opposite.
Really like ACNH (have accumulated 845+ hours) but zero interest with BOTW (I sold my BOTW last October 2021).
I have tons of backlogs from 14 different video games as I played Nintendo, PlayStation and XBOX games.
One thing I can say is that in past events like Game Awards and whatnot, I found a lot of the trailers just kind of... blurred together. Similar tone, visuals, often dark in one way or another, etc. I'm not sure all were AAA, but it's like... grains of sand on a beach, sometimes.
Yeah, during the Summer Game Fest the other day there were like 3-4 deep space horror shooters, and they honestly all blended together for me. Each time one of them popped up I thought it was going to be that rumoured Dead Space reboot, only for it not to be (if it does exist, it'll just be another one in that pile).
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers

It's a common sentiment. The desire to venture out and try new types of games, and having interest in games you wouldn't be interested in on another console.
I still haven't quit pinned down exactly what it is about Switch that catalyzes this response in people. The low hanging fruit would be to say the hybrid advantage, obviously. And for me that's true. But a lot of ppl only play docked, and yet still express this sentiment. So that can't be the only factor at play. Perhaps it's the low barrier to entry. System wakes super fast, UI is simple and focused, and it's easy to jump in and out. Maybe that plays a part too. But ya, something about Switch tends to make games more appealing, oftentimes leading people to play games they'd never drop money on elsewhere.

Finished the Fire Emblem Three Hopes demo and now I'm jonesing for more. As if it wasn't bad enough waiting on Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, now the wait it twice as bad with Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes at the end of the month also.
Tried Demon Slayer and I'm actually really impressed. Both with the quality of the port (which is top notch- ya love to see it) and the quality of the game itself.

When I truly got into gaming in the 3DS/Vita/WiiU/PS4 era, I felt like a kid in a candy store. So many games I hadn't played. For years I bought anything with a reasonable review score just to try it out and see how I liked it.
Even now 10 yrs later I'm still discovering new types of games I love. I've learned that I'm not a fan of any particular genre, it just comes down to the individual game.
I love Xenoblade and Final Fantasy X/XII, Trails of Cold Steel, etc, but there are far more JRPGs I dislike. I love Fire Emblem and Triangle Strategy, Valkyria Chronicles and Mario Rabbids, but many srpgs I don't like. I love Mario but don't really like most other 3D platformers. Love DKC, 2D Mario and Rayman but don't really like most other 2D platformers. Love Metroid and Ori, but not most other metroidvanias. I love Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes, but not other Warriors games. Love Monster Hunter, but never got into the clones like God Eater and Toukiden. I love Sniper Elite 4 and Splinter Cell Blacklist, even though I typically don't enjoy stealth. I love Doom Eternal and Call of Duty (if they have gyro aiming) even though I'm not big on FPS.
And just now, 15 minutes ago I started playing Demon Slayer for Switch. I don't watch anime and don't really like anime story based arena brawlers like Naruto, but I'm loving this game.
I've never found a genre I didn't like- it just comes down to finding the right game within that genre. Exploring new types of games is one of the best parts of the hobby to me.

I just finished up the Yurukill demo and I was highly disappointed. It was much more VN-ish than I was anticipating. I like ones where you actually do things like Ace Attorney and Zero Escape (which I thought this was going to be a lot more like), but the first hour was spent just hitting A over and over again. And then when it finally got to the part where you do things, it was completely basic and the puzzles could have been solved by a five-year-old. The shmup part was better, especially with the way it kept mixing things up, but I'm not a big shmup fan and that was the part I was least looking forward to. It's probably better for more standard VN fans, but I think I will be giving it a pass except for a very big sale.
One big draw for me to the switch is the drop in drop out factor. With a large Microsd card you have a plethora of games at your fingertips, many that you can pause and switch between quickly. Also the low install times. I realize that series x and ps5 are focusing on lower load times and being able to pause play but I have not gotten one yet and for them it feels to me like too little too late. The very things that I hated about the twins (long install times, long load times, constant updates (and I had terrible internet when I got them both) and large game sizes) meant while I was waiting for a game to become playable, I was already playing on switch. After a while I stopped really even wanting to play on the twins. I still buy games for them but most are in cellophane because by the time I clear hdd space and install… I could be playing switch. In away switch felt/feels more modern in that it respects my time as an adult.

It was like cartoon version of "BOTW" without any combats / violences, open world game, collecting items and crafting to build something. You can build a small farm and raise some wild animals to get their daily products. The game have guidance and location hints to clear the quest.
I have played Yonder the Cloud Catcher Chronicles two times, first on Switch in July 2018 and PS4 version in November 2019.
The only differences between them was the grass height that looked taller on PS4 version but shorter on Switch version.
Better you pick this game for being very peaceful (no violences at all) game.
I don't think I could narrow it down to just one game. Once a game is so good, its hard to discriminate between them. Best I can give is a top 10 list, in no particular order...
Monster Hunter Rise
Metroid Dread
Fire Emblem Three Houses
Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes
Xenoblade Chronicles
Triangle Strategy
Zelda BotW
Super Mario Odyssey
DKC Tropical Freeze
Splatoon 2
I've put 11 hrs into the Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes demo, which is enough to know it makes the list. I also expect to add Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, Splatoon 3 and Bayonetta 3 to the list over the next few months. Not sure if they'll all be top 10 but certainly top 20 at minimum.

I've also been playing a ton of MK8D lately. You can thank the DLC for that...I so want wave 2 to come out already, lol. So, I'd say that's my favorite Switch game as of now.
I keep hearing about Three Hopes being a high contender for top 10's in this thread and i can't really understand. What makes you hype so much about that game being that different to Age of calamity, fire emblem warriors or Hyrule Warriors? It is just another Warriors game
