@Fight_Teza_Fight If you like racing games, look into Fast RMX. It's $20 and surprisingly high quality for an indie racer: think of it as budget F-Zero.
They're not technically "exclusive" (they're also on 3DS), but Blaster Master Zero and Mighty Gunvolt Burst are both fantastic games. Cheap, too: you can nab em both for $20.
I'll continue to recommend Splatoon 2 to people as well, even if you're not into shooters: it also works fine in handheld mode, even with all of the motion stuff.
And a lot of people seem to like Golf Story, which is sort of an SNES-esque golfing RPG. I don't care for sports games, but it might be worth looking into.

@BLP_Software Yes and no. The card I have is effectively a debit card, but isn't recognised as one in foreign countries, we have a different system. I believe it has to do with the network our cards uses. Ordering from Amazon UK is always quite a hassle, since that means I have to borrow someone else's credit card in order to make the payment. And the only reason people have credit cards over here is because our bank card isn't always accepted by foreign ATMs. Although I've personally never had a problem with my card. Things have gotten better in recent years with more ATMs accepting all kinds of bank cards, thanks to the EU merging our payment systems. Online payments are still a problem.
"Real" debit cards over here are called prepaid credit cards, just to make things even more confusing.
Anyway, that's where PayPal comes in. It's linked to my bank account and a transaction requires no more than a single button press. It's my go-to option for online payments.
@BLP_Software Yeah I know. It doesn't affect most people, and it's perfectly fine for any day-to-day purchases, except when you're looking for something specific you can't buy from a Dutch retailer. It's like the imperial system in the US; perfectly fine if you're used to it, but impractical in any other country. And it's probabaly easier to keep it the way it is than changing the entire system.
Mario Kart is like crack to me. I've played several of the iterations in the past but never owned a version, and I've never been good at it. Got the hang of drifting properly over the weekend though and now all I want to do is race karts and motorbikes :/
@Kidfried Same here! The community here is much more open for discussion. I lurk over at NL from time to time, but the Nintendo is very strong in them.

Nintendo fanboys are probably the worst of all gaming fanboys. Except for perhaps Dark Souls. Or any of those mad PC games. I've written a lot at Nintendo sites previously and damn. Historically, Nintendo has always been my favourite of the big three (or four, or two, depending on what generation we're in) but that doesn't mean we can just pretend reality is more of a guideline than a rule. And just look at the backlash poor ol' Jim Sterling took when he dared to give Breath of the Wild a 7/10. They're video games, people. And not everyone likes exactly the same things you do.
I'll agree with all the posts above, I visit Nintendo Life regularly too and enjoy the content and do comment but I have had a few people post not very nice replies to things and also, being critical of things can go down the wrong way. I feel that the posters here on PS are more 'gamers' in the sense that they accept that there is a lot of different hardware, genres and games and most debates, even if heated, have a degree of toleration of differing ideas.
I'm generalising of course, some great posters on NL but I like to discuss other gamers on Push Square.
On topic, has anyone here been looking at any seconday docks for the Switch, like some being developed on kickstarter? I kind of want a spare dock but £70 is steep.
Now I may be an idiot, but there's one thing I am not sir, and that sir, is an idiot
@Rudy_Manchego You should look into USB-C hubs. They're technically the same as a dock, a converter from USB-C to AC, HDMI and USB. I'm not sure if the Switch if compatible with all of them, and you can't stand your Switch vertically, but it's a lot cheaper than the plastic shell Nintendo is selling.
@johncalmc I personally find the PC master race to be the worst. Anything that's not a 1000+ dollar gaming PC is beyond worthless in their eyes, which is ridiculous. 4K and 60 FPS isn't the most important factor in gaming, contrary to what they may believe.
Nintendo Life has a great community, actually. One of my favorites on the internet. The forums strike a great balance between freedom and moderation, and most of the people who I talk to are absolutely passionate about video games. I love that I can actually talk out disputes with other members without moderators getting up in my grill.
