I bought a few games on the eShop these last days:
FAR: Lone Sails
Mr. Shifty
Nintendo Switch Sports (Unfortunately not on a discount. I'm going to resell my physical copy.)
Turnip Boy Commits Tax Evasion
Since January 2021 owner of my first real Nintendo "home" console.
Even if I buy my games mostly digital in the meantime, the following was a must buy:
Yeah, I know I'm late to the party. I tried to get it via the independent game shop in town, unfortunately it has become impossible for the shop to get more copies after it sold a few.
I had to order it online and had it in the mail today.
@ophone it's a beautiful physical copy. I bought it along with like 5 other games, and Cuphead was the most exciting. iam8bit is one of my favorite indie publishers.

Ninja Gaiden collection because all of the games are included on the card (which is never the case with other switch games) and Ive never played the series before.
Metroid Prime Remastered
Another title boasting 10/10 Twin Stick Gyro controls with customization up the ying yang.
Yet I'm not too sure i want to play through the entire thing, since I've already beaten Prime 1 back on the Cube, regardless if it's got updated Gyro controls and remastered HD Visuals.
I am looking forward to finally playing this game. My only problem is do I want a physical copy or get the digital so I can play it now.

@ElRoberico It's the Southeast Asian English cover art version. It requires a 1GB download for the English patch. But I'm glad I stumbled across this copy in the wild as it appears to be out of print. Currently unavailable on P-A at least.

@neonpizza I will say I have never played any of the Prime games at all. For whatever reason those games always slipped by me. Either I was busy with other games at the time or just not in the right mood to play them. And then by the time I wanted to play them I either didn't have tbe console anymore or they were just more then I was willing to spend for them at the time.
I never played Fusion or Zero Mission mainly because I don't have a GBA anymore, although I hear it's coming to the Switch via the Nintendo Online so I might try them then. I also have yet to play Dread but I might pick that up after I play Fusion since it's a sequel to that.
Super Metroid is still my favorite of the bunch although I did enjoy Metroid II as well. Metroid can be fun but as you said make you sure you bust out your Mega Pack Crayola crayons with the built in sharpener and some pads of paper before you play.
I do have a pro controller to play Prime with so I will definitely try out your options there.
