What game next?
I’m a new gamer.
I had a Game Boy Advance, DS, Xbox, Wii, Xbox 360 and PS4 in my childhood/as a teenager.
As an adult I’ve never been a gamer.
But I always regretted never owning a Switch.
I bought a Switch 2 on release. I’ve got Mario Kart World, Breath of the Wild and have pre-ordered Donkey Kong Bananza. I also own Mario Odyssey, but haven’t played it yet as I’m waiting to beat Breath of the Wild first.
Currently I’ve unlocked Mirror Mode on ‘World and have finished most 150cc races in first, I’m on my fourth Divine Beast on Zelda and buzzing to tuck into Odyssey and Bananza.
That said, I’m also so excited to delve into the other Switch games I missed out on! ‘Smash Ultimate, Animal Crossing: New Horizons, Metroid Dread, Tears of the Kingdom (which nearly beat out Odyssey as my next game after BOTW), and ‘Bros. are my main list but I’m unsure whether to buy Mario Kart 8 Deluxe because of the amazing things I’ve heard about it (my hesitation lies with the fact I already own ‘World), Xenoblade Chronicles 3 (but I’ve never played a JRP) and Kirby and the Forgotten Kingdom has also tempted me! Any suggestions I’d be grateful for.
If anyone has future Swirch 2 games I should be keeping an eye out for I’d love to hear about that too! Metroid Prime 4 is one I’m keeping an eye out for. I’ve never played Pokémon but have also never been interested in it; but if you think I should give it a chance I’d be open to your argument.
What accessories d’you recommend? I already have a spare screen protector, travel case, extra pair of joy-cons and pro-controller 2, anything else you’d recommend?
Really would appreciate all the advice, especially if you’re a Nintendo veteran!
