@@yumihara14 nah it just wouldn't be natural to start with the 3rd installment if you start with the 1st entry you will be well established if you continue to play the games & when u eventually get to the 3rd after playing Definitive Edition Xenoblade 2 & Xenoblade 2 torna as well as Future Connected after that you can play Xenoblade 3 so many References and call backs to the previous titles that you won't miss & Future Redeemed DLC is basically icing on the cake anyone who played XC1 & XC2 full of great fan service.

I actually started with 3 and the main story is completely understandable without 1 or 2. In fact, it was 3 that got me hooked into the series. I will have to say though, compared to 3, mechanics of definitive edition base game feel a bit clunky

[@TheMarashian]

Try Kirby too! They are lovely games

[@sergiuszwinogrodzki6569]

I would personally put BotW higher than TotK, both are fine, but BotW has this thing that it "plays itself". You turn the game on for a moment and you get sucked in for hours, every piece of gameplay is smartly related to each other. In TotK on the other hand, I have a feeling like it has some overkills occasionally. They really wanted to give you a massive amount of freedom and sandboxness, but what they ended up with is in my opinion a too chaotic and too overcomplicated gameplay. Those Link's abilities don't feel as organic as in the first game. Also, building vehicles and stuff, even though it's fun, I really don't like it in TotK, it feels like a waste of time and is more stressful than fun. In BotW you simply go from point A to B to C, with smooth puzzles which are designed like IQ tests. In TotK you often don't even know where to start and puzzles seem like a total mess to me. You can either use one of absurd abilities or build an absurd vehicle to get somewhere for instance. I don't know, but whilst I like playing BotW, I don't really feel like playing TotK. It's not something that I gladly want to jump back into.

[@sergiuszwinogrodzki6569]

And by A to B to C I don't mean it's linear, because it's far from it. A, B or C can be anything. There's a thousand solutions to every problem. But the thing is, in BotW everything feels logical. TotK lacks this sense of logic. It feels rather like some mad experiment. It might be good for psychofans, but I really recommend, if you want to play one of those and you can't make your decision, just play BotW. Honestly.

[@yumihara14]

I was planning to buy but I'm not sure after this comment 😂I found some puzzles and boss fights SO exhausting in botw. And you're saying that totk even harder and more stressful!? Nooo I'm not looking for that. I guess I'll buy Mario bros wonder instead 😂

[@sonoaf]

Nah it depends on what u played first

[@Trinitymodz]

@@sergiuszwinogrodzki6569 Gotta be honest I’m not feeling this comment. I last played BOTW in 2018 and don’t get me wrong it’s amazing but it felt pretty empty and puzzles weren’t difficult mentally but were hard to execute, with generally only one route to resolve it. Whereas TOTK, although overwhelming at first, is packed with content and interesting side quests and so far I’ve found the new abilities to be smooth and the puzzles to be excellent with multiple ways to resolve them. I think if you recently played botw before totk then it might hit different but for me I can’t see a reason to play botw over totk.

[@Giorgiosemprenelsolitocoro]

Splatoon 3 doesn't even merit an honorable mention? What gives?

[@backbonedray7612]

Exactly, Splatoon 3 is one of the best Nintendo games of all time and could easily replace any game on this list with the exception of maybe Mario Kart and the Zelda games

[@miismiler]

No because who really need a 3 on the Switch when we know the Wii U got his own Splatoon and that the Switch get his own Splatoon as well (2) so the 3 is just a sort of big DLC vibes for Splatoon 2 without have anything special about it except to say that the 3 should have been a started game for a next-gen Nintendo console for bring a lot of people to their next console at their launch the day when Nintendo will announce something officialy about it.

[@karlelmagnifico564]

The witcher 3,skyrim, Mario odissey

[@shaunkennedy174]

Elden Ring is the next best thing that comes closest to catching the feeling of those games. Much more difficult of course but it’s got that huge sandbox “if you see it, you can go there” gameplay. The Witcher 3 is an incredibly well fleshed out open world RPG as well, even though it’s more focused on narrative and characters, the story telling and voice acting + dialogue etc is so damn good you’ll probably enjoy it even if you don’t usually care about that. Dragons Dogma 2 is also worth mentioning, the gameplay is a little different yes but still very similar overall in terms of RPG and the open world is completely seamless like Zelda just giving you a big ass sandbox to discover things, not quite as big though

[@ssjkaryuusennin]

I think Botw should be switched with Totk. I'm not saying one is better than the other but aside from the fact that Botw is the first switch game, it's literally the prequel. And I think you should get it before Totk. You must have played Botw to play Totk to get the full experience in my opinion.

[@aganbraganca4156]

[@darthollpheist1156]

I just ordered a Switch. It sucks it's only 1080p, but I'm sure with the cartoon graphics of basically every game there is for the system (exclusives), it will look just fine. If it's on another console or PC, that's where it will be played. But, there are some exclusives I want to play. I always get Nintendo's latest console at the end of it's life cycle because there are usually only a few games I want to play. And with the stupid "woke" nature of a lot of games now, there are less and less that are worth playing. It's sad really. First they ruined TV. Then movies. Now games. Oh, and sports.

Without forget we can get the chance sometimes to get somes game who are released in bad quality such Mario Striker Battle League to be so hated by the community and those Pokemon games or to released a useless port from a old popular game that the 3/4 of the people already play it instead give a chance to a less popular game that only 1/4 of the people know about it with the fact that the Paper Mario TTYD, Luigi's Mansion 2 and Kirby Return to Dreamland Deluxe was a failure about the sales on the Switch since the sales are inferior than their original GCN, 3DS and Wii game version and more inferior than Luigi's Mansion 3, Forgotten Land and Origami King with the fact that Forgotten Land get more sales than Star Allies but Return to Dreamland Deluxe isn't able to get more sales than Forgotten Land but not a big surprise as, as I have say before, 3/4 of the people play it on their original console or on emulator so who need a useless Switch port from that game that the 3/4 of the community already play it?

Old Nintendo games weren't those that make me smile... Rather they got me deeply thinking because had great multi layered concepts. On Switch Nintendo games are conceptually dead letter. Just polished mechanics, for making players smile, with superficial game concept. Breath of Wild is no innovation. It is only an old 3d Zelda has broken every bridge with tradition for embracing the open world belief, so dear to ubisoft, intermingled with Souls like legacy of Fromsoftware. Sure, Nintendo has added something peculiar (puzzle rooms and a few physics), but the sources of inspiration are undeniably those ones.
