This week, I intend to post some of the most common Frequently-Asked-Questions we have seen submitted to r/NintendoSwitch or elsewhere, with the intention that we can collect common or quality answers into a dedicated post which can be easily referenced or linked when relevant.

Our most frequently asked (and removed) "Game Rec" topic is general and straight-forward, covering the entire library and applying to anyone without any further details:

Which games should every Switch owner consider picking up?

Often, this question is asked by people who have just bought or received their first Switch, or who have just finished their first or second Switch game. They may have not played Nintendo games in years, or have only ever played on PC or other consoles, or even be brand-new to gaming.

While not every game will be fit for every player, there are some games that have very broad appeal, or other games that merit consideration based on exceptional quality. Some of these games have become the most-frequently recommended titles - what do you have to say about them?

Perhaps another way to think of this question, which games would you consider to be strongly associated with the "Nintendo Switch" experience? What about those games should someone know?

For reference, here is a table that includes some games listed in the top 25 best-selling list on Wikipedia, or in the top 25 based on ratings (MetaCritic, OpenCritic).
