@Ralizah yeah for some. Never been a fan of the series but it does at least look good. I was speaking more about myself. I found only 1 thing in each show that was appealing.
@Knuckles-Fajita Oh yes, I'm so over Axiom Verge 2 when it comes out. Not entirely clear if it a Switch exclusive or not. Tagging in @kyleforrester87 as I know he liked the first game.
My pick up Golf Story for my Christmas game on Switch. That game has always intrigued me so feel like a good time to try it out.And I have money in my Nintendo account and gold points to spend.

I started playing Luigi's Mansion 3 yesterday, and it's been a pretty good time so far.
I like the more Metroid like design, which helps build the atmosphere, which is great in a cartoony sort of way. It's odd how western the art direction feels given it's a Mario series game (the boss ghosts in particular look like something out of a Cartoon Network series), but it makes sense given the development studio.
Only negative (and it's not the game's fault) is that I now have Joy Con drift in full effect, and so Luigi is constantly spinning making things hard to line up with the Poltergust.

Picked up a PowerA pro controller (it's an officially licensed brand) since my Joy-con were starting to drift.
It feels a little cheaper than any first party controller I've used in recent memory, with no HD Rumble, and it still runs on AA batteries, but overall it feels good enough and has made playing Luigi's Mansion 3 easier.
There's a reason I almost always nab Switch games at launch, but wait on PC/PS4 games. Steam and PSN actually reward you for being patient. Still can't believe I got God of War and Horizon for $10 a pop.
@KratosMD Hmm I would disagree personally. Both are brief but very interesting experiences. I bought Sayonara Wild Hearts for full price and you can get thrugh a full run in an hour (though there is replay value). Gris too come to think of it (though it is a little bit longer).
About to check the out the Switch sale as i got some vouchers gifted to me but for Switch games, I only buy digital if they are purely digital games and try to buy physical. First party games never really drop that much anyway.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Rudy_Manchego I bought Golf Story as it was Deal of the Day. I had just enough money in my Nintendo account to cover the cost. May still get Ori as I've got some gold points to spend.

@KratosMD Hmm tough call and don't want to get it wrong for you. My favourite of the two was Sayonara Wild Hearts just because it does feel like a music video and I am not usually a pop fan but the music just worked well. That said, it is an 1-1.5 hours for a full playthrough though I have gone through it twice. I wouldn't call it a rythmn game as such because it doesn't punish you too much and the soundtrack doesn't go bad if you misstime something.
Gris is closer to something like Journey (such a cliche). There platforming and puzzling is very basic but not necessarily bad. As a game about depression, it is all in the presentation and emotion of it.
If you like emotional then I would go Gris, if you like fun and silly and playable I would go Sayonara!

Played the demo of Ori and the Blind Forest. It's very good and I immediately bought the full game when the demo was over. It has a Disney/Nintedo style and charm which I find quite endearing. Felt really weird playing a Microsoft game on a Nintendo console.

@JohnnyShoulder I don't really think of Ori and Cuphead as Microsoft games. Maybe because I still associate the company's output with Gears, Halo, and Forza. If anything, they ought to feel more at home on Nintendo hardware because of that charm that's missing from Microsoft's first-party catalog in general.
Honestly, it's far weirder to me that I can play the Crash Bandicoot trilogy on my Switch.
@JohnnyShoulder Well The Lion King and The Iron Giant did influence the developers when doing the story and character development so that's probably why it has that Disney vibe to it.
I am tempted to buy it again on Switch but I have other games I rather get and have already beat it on the Xbox One but it is such a great game.

Just finished up Luigi's Mansion 3. It's the first in the series I've played, and while I'm letting my thoughts on it digest, first impressions are that it was very good, but not quite up there with my favorite exclusives on the system.
Currently Playing:
Switch - Blade Strangers
PS4 - Kingdom Hearts III, Tetris Effect (VR)
@Ralizah It's wierd that the only MS games i was interested in are now on Switch. It gonna be strange playing Psychonauts 2 which is published by Xbox Game Studios next year lol.
@Tasuki It is such a beautifully animated game. And it's cute without being over saccharine, which can be fine balance to get right with me at times.
