So my wife just let the cat out of the bag and let me know I am getting a Switch for my birthday. She does not really get video games, so there is nothing coming with it. I am trying to make a list of things to be looking for deals on. Anything I am missing in accessories, games, or whatever?

Micro Sd card (64 or 128?)
Mario Odyssey
Mario + Rabbids
Mario Tennis
New Smash Bros
Hollow Knight
Shovel Knight (Never played, but shows up on every best of Switch list)
Stardew Valley (Same as above)
A Madden or NBA game?

And I am also trying to decide if I should rebuy Mario Kart and Zelda BotW. I love both of those games on my Wii U, and only have about 10 hours in Zelda. I am just trying to see what others have felt about re-starting Zelda or the coolness of portability with Mario Kart.

Overall, help me spend tons of money and get a huge game backlog.

Wow this is a fast moving thread. Thanks for the advice.
I will add Celeste and Golf Story to my list.
I will wait for the new Zelda version (I didn’t get bored the first time, I just don’t play my Wii U that is in the basement much anymore)

Thanks!

I know this thread is now for arguing about the evils of capitalism, but I have a game question. Darkest Dungeon and its expansion is on sale for 30 bucks. I have read and watched some reviews, and was curious about the thread consensus is. I know it is hard, but is it fun? Some reviews talk about planning a raid for 20 min, to have the raid last 5, and wanted to hear it is fun and good.

Is there a demo you can try? The gameplay doesnt change much and what you do in the first mission is what youll do the entire game. I love it but some people consider it grindy. Also apparently the controls re awkward with a controller but idk

Yeah. No demo. That’s why I am a bit up in the air.

Thanks for all the replies. I’ll hold off for now while I have a backlog as is.

Was about to download a new fan roster for NBA 2k18. I can no longer do this without a Nintendo Network subscription. Still going to wait until Smash Bros to get Nintendo Network.

Any reason not to pick up 2k17 if I am a sad Cavs fan? It’s cheap as hell now, and didn’t know if there were some huge quality of life issues they improved on?

I think NBA 2k18 is the first Switch version. The one that just recently came out is NBA 2k19. I think 2k18 is a great purchase especially for how cheap it is now. Some of the modes are filled with micro transactions. However, those aren't the modes I play. I mainly play exhibition games with friends or the myGM/myLeague modes. Those modes are great for a portable system.

Ahh. That’s what I meant. Thanks!
