Unless you want to play the MS exclusives that aren't on PC then no, you're not missing anything special by not owning one

X1S is pretty much a 4k bluray that can play indie games. I don't see the point of the SAD model at all.

Thought a lot about the same thing, because I've already got Ultimate Gamepass for 3 years, and I'm sure my kids could get some use out of a console. But with the PS4, Switch, phones, and tablets and TV, there is god awful plenty of shit for them to do.

Picked up a switch with Mario Odyssey, breath of the wild, and Minecraft. What essential rpg or just great switch games in general do I need?

Thinking XC2?

Smash is a must. I've heard a lot of good things about Astral Chain. Dark Souls if you never played that in the past.

I'm a dark souls fanboy. Wife got me this for xmas, I kind of want it but also don't want to break the joycons.

Not a smash fan from older generations though

Link's Awakening is a pretty good remake if you are into Zelda. Some like Octopath Traveler, but it's not crazy popular/good from what I hear. Decent enough I suppose if you like JRPG.

Diablo 3 on the Switch is neat to take Diablo mobile, if that's your use case at all. Basically in my house hold Smash Bros and Breath of the Wild were the 2 games played the most. We have plenty more but didn't see near the same amount of playtime.

Mario Kart (Even though it's the same maps mostly from every other Mario Kart)

XC2 was alright. Not nearly as good as the original XC - a remastered version of this comes out next year.

Other than that RPG's, unless you want to play on the shitter which there is a huge market for I guess, are better played on more powerful home consoles or PC because the under powered switch does not do it justice. Even JRPG's are fat better off on PS Pro / PS4 - Xbox One. 4k/HDR support and since the world graphical outlay means so much to exploration, the fact games like Witcher 3 or Skyrim even came out for that thing astounds me. BUt to each their own if they all eat a lot of Taco Bell and end up with the shits for hours on and can't get off the pot so it's the only way they can play without shitting themselves on a Couch.

Animal Crossing comes out in March. Where you can do the same damn thing you did with the other 4 Animal Crossings with the exact same art assets and get raped for 60.

Yea, was just in Gamestop last night picking up a cheap $25 knock off Xbox controller, and so I was looking at Switch games to try and take advantage of their Buy 2 Get 2 Free sale going on right now on used games. It's fucking nuts. Nintendo has created this eco system where shit never goes on sale, and stays expensive. Gamestop takes full advantage of it as well. Breath of the Wild? Still $60. Used? $55. Same for most any of the titles from Nintendo. It's nuts.

I took full advantage of Best Buy GCU and just checked the app each week for Switch game sales - bought all the games at a price drop plus GCU discount. Only game I never saw discounted was Smash Bros. - used a 25% off coupon and $5 reward to grab it.

But yeah, they do love to add “deluxe” or “ultimate” to a dusted off port and sell it for $60.
