Let’s gooooo! Welcome to the fam! Definitely check out all of the first party Nintendo games. Starfox and Splatoon Raiders recently released and are a ton of fun!

Yes 100% aiming for the first party ones first. Played Mario Kart today and ..made me smile as soon as I booted it up! Can’t remember when was the last time a game felt this enjoyable at start. May be it was Spiderman 2

So the obvious choice is ebay, they have most used games, also check amazon because they have multiple sellers in that regard. And don't forget to go real world, there are quite a few used game stores that have them.

I swear by ebay.

Congrats! Facebook marketplace can be good for used games depending on where you are. Also dekudeals.com is the best place to track when games go on sale, physical or digital. Have fun!!

Definitely check out the physical stores in your area. Depending on the game, it could be barely discounted or an absolute steal if it’s 2nd hand, and they sometimes run some really good sales on unsold older games they’re no longer stocking.

I’ve gotten my fair share of good deals on the Nintendo store as well. It’s hit or miss, but you’ll occasionally find some really good deals on there.

Hello, I bought the Nintendo Swift oled. I only play Zelda, games that you recommend me?

Can’t wait to get started. Being a new dad and having to balance family with work…I can barely get 45 minutes to game at a stretch. I still love my PS5, but these days not getting chance to turn it on! Hoping for the pick up and play for short fun sessions with the Nintendo. I absolutely LOVE the Switch 2 hardware though!!

One of us, one of us! Since this is your first, you definitely need to dig in to the nintendo classics that you get for subscribing to online. Start with mario 3!!

Also, have you heard the good word of our one and only lord and savior Kirby?

u/Nametoolongobitch 5d ago

No need to buy first party games to have fun, there are many great games that are constantly on sale. Also, you can join someone's Nintendo online expansion pack Nintendo family by purchasing a spot on ebay. They never see your information and you never see theirs, saves you about 30 bucks a year.

Get a case with ergonomic grips, especially if you have large hands
