When i buy a Switch do I get two games or get a year of playing all games, any advice?

[@Surge7-hs63k]

Should I play breath of the Wild before tears to the kingdom?

[@ThomasGraber]

Absolutely. Tears picks up right after BotW. Also if you love Tears so much that you'd wanna go back, Tears has so many improvements it makes going back to BotW tough. Not impossible, but tough all the same.

[@Switchbored]

Tears is built to be played after botw. Its a sequel. Tears also doesnt really talk about the events of botw much so you might question things if you havent already played botw first. Botw is also a great introduction to the series for new zelda players, whereas Totk is way more advanced and feels like you need required knowledge of past games. Up to you though.

[@chasethompson3958]

Sam, I’m 60 hours into BOTW, but haven’t beat the main story yet. I’m wondering if I got TOTK if I would be able to go back and forth between the two while I finish both. Is that reasonable, or should I finish BOTW completely, then buy TOTK? Thanks!

[@Switchbored]

Finish botw. Tears is a sequel and requires your knowlege of botw's overall story.

[@connorjack4714]

ToTK and BoTW got me into Zelda, I'm only 25 plus years late 😂

[@Switchbored]

@@connorjack4714 its never too late to appreciate the in my opinion the GOAT series in games 😆😆

[@PicoDeNicoChico]

I've felt the same with my switch playing dragon ball z kakarot, such a nice reintroduction from childhood 👌

[@yesiamsharon]

I really enjoyed Captain Toad too.

[@Switchbored]

@@yesiamsharon its a fun little underrated gem definitely!

[@Himanshu0074]

Is it worth to buy used Oled Switch now, or should I wait for new one next year? I have always been a PC gamer and would really love to try my hands on Switch games.

[@so9505]

Depends on how much you would use it before switch 2 comes out. Also how many games you would want to play as well. The counter argument to waiting is that you don’t know what could happen in the future and if you would be able to play. Also not many games would be available straight away that would be exclusive to switch 2 and also you would be able to play the games you want asap instead of having to wait an unknown amount of time. Also don’t know if the switch 2 would have an oled screen if that’s important to you. The argument for would be that you wouldn’t have to go through the hassle of selling it afterwards to buy the switch 2. Also don’t know how much it would decrease in price whether it’s very little or a lot. Also it might delay you from buying the switch 2.

[@Switchbored]

Hmm its difficult. Depends how badly you want to play those games. Switch 2 has been confirmed to be backwards compatible so there is that. However i will say the switch imo is the greatest games console of all time for how versatile it is compared to other consoles on the market including the Steamdeck.

[@seekchristwithin4464]

mario odyssey wasnt a launch title. zelda was the launch title for switch

[@Switchbored]

@@seekchristwithin4464 games generally released within the first few months of the consoles release are often considered release titles. Mario odyssey was revealed before the switch was released and was one of the 1st true first party switch games.

[@seekchristwithin4464]

@@Switchbored it still is not a launch game and it released many months after.

[@marcobiotic]

@@Switchboredumm absolutely not? was it a launch title? the answer is no

[@Kyoti]

I just picked up my Switch this past Thursday. I haven't had a Nintendo since the early 90's with NES. I have wanted to play BOTW for what seems like forever, didn't even know about TOTK until after I got my Switch & BOTW. Now I'm wondering if I should've went with TOTK instead, especially if it upgrades the things from BOTW that is a bit frustrating (why can't I call my horse from anywhere!? kinda ridiculous imo).

[@so9505]

About the horse calling from anywhere thing. There is something like that in the dlc. Some areas you can’t use a horse though and so won’t be able to call them there.

[@Kyoti]

@so9505 oh, I'll have to look into that. Lots to wrap my head around with this game

[@Switchbored]

Hmm... botw is the easier game to introduce yourself to out of the Botw/totk games. Both games have pros and cons. Botw is smaller but feels more polished. Totk is bigger and more creative but has many more flaws than botw. For story you have to play botw first, but if you dont care about that.. play totk first as its more the game that nintendo wanted to make but couldnt during botws development. Also why totks story is better than botws, its full of plot holes and massive inconsistancies that can take you out of the game, things like repeated cutscenes, dialogue and characters not acknowledging the progression of the story. In regards to horses. Totk is a games heavily built around building things like vehicles. During my playthrough i rarely used the horse as building vehicles was more convenient.

[@ianloveland2726]

Probably the worse time to pay these prices for switch games with switch 2 around the corner

[@Switchbored]

@@ianloveland2726 nah. Switch 2 has been confirmed to be backwards compatible so these games will still be relevant. Nobody is telling you to pay nintendos prices. I find all my games cheaper.

[@hoodrichhaul7545]

Best part of buying used switch games you don't have to worry about scratched discs.

[@alllivesmatter2391]

No super mario 3d all stars? It had suoer mario sunshine AND suoer mario galaxy man! No luigis mansion 3? What are you doing?!?

[@sowsow6677]

Mario kart 8 is not worth it in my opinion. It is already 10 years old and the mariokart 9 is definitely going to be launching alongside switch 2, which would just make 8 a lot cheaper for anyone who still wants to play it. Plus the game is not as fun as the others on this list

[@bm7502]

It is fun when played with several friends. Switch 2 has not been announced, so mario kart 9 is probably at least 1 year from release, possibly more.

[@Switchbored]

I disagree but thats fine, Its your opinion. I believe MK9 will be very quick to launch on the next nintendo console as its arguably more popular than the mainline mario games, just look at the numbers for purchases of MK8D. But to say the largest MK game of all time isnt worth it because the next gen nintendo console (which hasnt been officially revealed yet) is obsurd. MK8 is a great game and is imo the best MK game of all time just because it packs so much content and replayability.
