They don't really do that; stuff like that would get addressed in the "revised" version of the game that gets released 1-3 years later.
I did pick up Sword even though I had some reservations and kind of glad I did. Core gameplay loop is still fun after all these years.

No but if you have a game with local wireless multiplayer, like MarioKart 8, the Lite can connect (via bluetooth?) without Nintendo Online.
Nintendo is really bad about labeling which games support this.
Made it to top 5000 in ranked 2v2 for Sword and Shield.
I fucking LOVE what they did, removed a ton of broken moves being on pokemon they shouldn't, nerfed some stuff like aegislash that needed it, etc. - this is the best pokemon yet.

Super Mario Maker 2
Breath of the Wild (ymmv, ive only played 2 hours i liked it i guess?)
Mario Kart 8
Super Smash Ultimate more for the "damn this is a lot of chars" but fun party game
Links Awakening
games I look forward to or wanna play
Xenoblade 1 remaster then XB2
Bayonetta 3
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom (another simpler x-comish game)
Metroid stuff
plus whatever Nintendo announces at TGA

Unless you're just dead on stuff to do/play you could easily wait another year or two while the exclusives pile up before purchasing because 99% of the switch library is stuff already on steam for $1, but $15-20 on switch.
Out of what I own -
Odyssey - Enjoyed it entirely.
Super Mario Bros - Enjoyed everything but the water levels =O.
Mario Kart 8 - This gets played a ton whenever we have company as it's fun for non gamers as well.
Tales of Vesperia - I hate myself for beating it and should have stopped by hour 10.
Mario Party - Also gets played a ton with friends.
Mario + Rabbids Kingdom - I have the full expansion etc for this, but I made it to the last part and haven't picked it up since. It's not hard enough and it's way too repetitive compared to something like XCom/Mutant Year Zero. Still got my $20 worth though.
Zelda - Still haven't sat down to play it.
Just Dance - GF enjoys them.
Octopath Traveler - Got bored of it and never finished it all.
Mario Tennis Aces - Did nothing for me and barely made it through 1/4 of the story.
Superbeat Xonic - Good time waster if you enjoy rhythm games and it was $1.

I've had my eye on Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom on Switch for a long time because I love the Metroidvania genre and it's now at 50% discount on the Switch store (so 19.99), but I'm seeing a lot of positive reviews and a few negative ones, but the negative seems to point at really large issues such as poor hit detection, checkpoints not returning health after you die, and other frustrating things..
Has anyone here played it and can enlighten me on how good or bad that game is? How does it compare to Hollow Knight (which I really really enjoy). Thanks!

What's your team? I'm stuck on Rank 9 on singles with Gyarados/Excadrill and either Dragapult or Grimmsnarl.
Was thinking about training a Tyranatar for doubles with the Excadrill. I heard you can dynamax the Tyranatar equipped with Weakness Policy and then use Earthquake on Excadrill to trigger the Weakness Policy. I guess defense EVs to better eat the Earthquake.

There are a handful of games that are worth it. Odyssey, Mario Kart. Most games are double the price sometimes triple, always downgraded obviously, with a shitload of Mobile game ports and remakes smashing the E-Shop to bits.
Metroid is years away, xenoblade 1 remake would be cool once it is released unless you played it on Wii already but that would be for you not a five year old.
There just isn’t a compelling reason to own one as far as I am concerned. But my opinions differ from hard core Nintendo fans.
