Well, we just bought a Nintendo Switch. Wife wanted to play Just Dance and I used that as the reason to buy 😅.

Playing Diablo 3 and old NES games on it right now. Planning to get Marvel Ultimate Alliance and Zelda soon.

@dodi I've been thinking of treating myself to a Switch to give me something new to do while stuck in bed recuperating from surgery. I've never been a gamer, and I feel I should try it out, if only to understand what so many of my peers are talking about. (Just Dance looks cool!)

@macgenie I would say go for it! I don’t consider myself as a gamer either. This is my first gaming console since the 80s. Also I’m now looking forward to Christmas to play it with my nephews and nieces.

@macgenie I think @Burk and someone else, maybe @Gabz, put together a list of game recommendations here not too long ago, too.

@macgenie I think the Switch is the best console for “non-gamers”. It’s very approachable with a wide range of games, including a bunch of the classics. Also none of the “in app purchase” insanity that plagues the App Store. I think Oxenfree might be of interest to someone who doesn’t play games much. It’s got a rich storyline. Also available on iOS.

@dodi i LOVE my switch. breath of the wild is so worth it.. so is splatoon. i bought the new mario, but haven't had time to play it.

@macgenie Just Dance may not be the right game for this recovery period! I personally love Yoshi’s Crafted World and think the first several levels are a relatively gentle introduction to the Side Scroller genre.

@dodi Congrats on the Switch! Such a wonderful console! 😀🎮

@macgenie Great time to get in since they just updated the console with better battery life! 😀🎮🔋

@burk @smokey @dodi @gabz @macgenie @ronguest @liz @sergio\_101 Wow! Thanks for the enabling, er, I mean help. Overcooked sounds right up my alley (I used to be a Diner Dash fan until the scourge of IAP), something I can play while waiting until I’m fit for Just Dance. 💃😅

@Burk It looks like the updated Switch with better battery life is not yet available here. Based on what I've read, it would be smart to wait.... Patience!

@macgenie My daughter plays very few games at all but when she does it is always Breath of the Wild. Watching her play (she's 14) has been one of the best experiences of my life. Also Gris is an amazingly beautiful, sad, and short game.

@macgenie In addition to the many great picks already mentioned, I would like to add the following games:

• Arms
• Super Mario Party
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
• Towerfall

These are fun multiplayer games for the whole family.

@Burk thank you for this list!

@sergio\_101 I feel like it should have been the first game I bought.
