Well, as of yesterday I am a newly minted Switch owner. Spent $622 for a Mario Kart bundle, three controllers, a screen protector, a travel case, and four games- Smash Ultimate, Breath of the Wild, Fire Emblem Three Houses, and Rayman Legends Definitive Edition.
Only played Mario Kart and Smash, but after waiting for essentially the whole year to get one (as I planned to get one in the summer but other things said nope), I'm happy to finally have it!

@DerMeister Nice. BotW and FE are two of the best games on the system (and, if you want to thoroughly play them, they'll take you hundreds of hours to beat). Rayman Legends is also fantastic, if you've never played it.
Ever own a Wii U, or is Mario Kart 8 new to you?

Now that I've gotten into the groove of it, Link's Awakening is a great time.
The colorful toy like aesthetic looks wonderful (and is a nice counterbalance to the grimy world of Return to Arkham City, which I'm playing on PS4), it has a unique & quirky vibe all it's own amongst the entire series, and it's nice returning to the classic Zelda template. Sure, the relative smallness of the game's world is apparent in a modern lens, but I find myself enjoying the quicker pace of the adventure.
Only notable complaint thus far is the quick stuttering that happens when you enter a new area (and a little more often in the swamp), but in the grand scheme of things it's not a major issue.

@KratosMD I'll definitely try to start it as soon as I can. I actually tried to beat Link to the Past in a week to get me in the Zelda mood, and lol that was poor judgement. Only beat the first dark world dungeon so far. Also started Fire Emblem yesterday, and while I haven't done much since the prologue, it's looking pretty cool.
@Ralizah Looks like I'll have my hands full for a while. Rayman Legends was a game I wanted since it came out, but never managed to get it until now. I'm pretty sure I'll like it since I loved Origins enough to platinum trophy it.
I never did manage to get a Wii U, so Mario Kart 8 is fresh for me.

@DerMeister The Platinum trophy on the PS4 version of Legends is an effing nightmare due to one trophy that requires the player to grind the online challenges for months on end, unfortunately.
Looks like Kiseki is finally coming to a Nintendo console in the form of Trails of Cold Steel 3. It's going to have a Persona 5 S problem, though, in that you'd need to own other platforms to be able to play the previous games. Not a problem for me (I own a Vita, so I can play 1 & 2 portably, lol), but it's hard to imagine the third game in a story-heavy series selling well on Switch when the first two aren't available.
Take it from a person who's played through the first two ToCS games; there will be a LOT of stuff that you're not going to understand in ToCS III even if you've played the previous games! You might find that weird, but it's because the third game expects you to not only have played ToCS I & II, but also the Trails in the Sky and Crossbell arcs, which I haven't.
Ugh. Thanks for the warning. I was thinking of getting into this series, but I think I'll pass on it for now.

@Ralizah I wouldn’t worry about spoilers for old PSP games that you’re probably not going to play. The Crossbell games (Zero no Kiseki/Ao no Kiseki) are in Japanese only and PSP only. The 3 Trials in the sky are PC or PSP only. You won’t have any difficulty understanding any of the trails of cold steel games without having played them.
If you had no intention of playing the previous trials a cold steel games then you will probably have no trouble understanding trails of cold steel 3. Since it’s set a year after the end of trials a cold steel to 2 and most of the students are new.
Trails of cold steel 3 does contain major spoilers for all the earlier games. @KratosMD
Loving the Witcher 3 on Switch and managed nearly 50 hours so far but I have noticed that I get game crashes every few hours, often at random. I think it is to do with moving across save points when you are travelling around the world but can't be sure. Anyone else experienced it?
Not lost progress at all, just time to boot the game back up.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Rudy_Manchego Try physically rebooting the console. I've found that helps with some of the games that have crashing issues (not many, but they exist).
My PC version has actually crashed a time or two. Every few hours sounds awful, though.
@Ralizah Thanks - I did reboot it a week or so ago but in fairness, can't hurt giving it another go. Had a quick search and this seems to happen a fair bit. Seems to me as well though that I have discovered some bugs that existed on the home console

@KratosMD@Octane Filling in all the entries in the dex, or do either of you actually have a living dex? I know some people make it a point of assembling a living dex each gen. The only issue for me would be getting a permanent version of the opposite game's primary legendary.
@Ralizah And Type: Null & Silvally. But no, that's why I'm not doing a living dex. I mean. I guess one could make a new account on their profile, beat the game, and trade them back via another player, but that's a lot of time and effort into something I don't really care about.
