@Dinkin_Flicka just picked up a switch, have two questions for ya.
What are the good RPGs for the Switch if you've tried any, and any good games to play with your kid?
Obviously Zelda is great. I missed classic dungeons, but the game so amazing at a bunch of other things you hardly notice their gone. Never have a I played a game that has captured my curiosity and wonder like Breath of the Wild did. I could just roam for days looking for berries and be completely content
Xenoblade Chronicles X would be another good game to pick up. I really wanted to like this game. It had a ton of things going for it, but I found the combat to be a little monotonous. The game was beautiful, the world was incredibly vibrant, story was really great, the combat just ruined it for me. That was just my experience though so I would watch some videos and make decision on your own. We had a pretty good thread going on when it released and a bunch of other Sherdoggers really loved it.
Ys VIII was really fun. It's like a mix between The Legend of Zelda and Secret of Mana but with the combat speed cranked to 11. Huge adventure map that opens more and more as you complete dungeons and collect gear. As your experience level grows you acquire new skills to level up. The boss battles are well done in the sense that most of the open world combat is pretty hack'n slashy, but bosses have to be strategized and handled with care. If you try to go in guns blazing, you'll end up at the game over screen before you know it.
Diablo 3 has been my current time sink. It's been out for ages, but playing it for the first time myself on the Switch and really glad I waited. I travel a lot for work and had it on my flight a few weeks back and will bring it with me when I hop a plain on Monday.
As for games with the kids we've played a lot of Mario Kart and Mario Party. Other than that my kid has moved on to the Xbox and really only migrates to the Switch for Fortenight and for Mario Kart/Party.
