This is my first Nintendo system since the NES. I've never been a big fan of their first-party properties when I've played on others' consoles, although I am interested in the Switch Zelda games.

We got Mario Kart 8 and Let's Go Pikachu for my son (the Switch is for his birthday). I might try Let's Go Pikachu but don't really care for Mario Kart. I'm keeping an eye on the Ori games too.

What I'm mainly interested in is Switch games that you can't play on the PS5 (which is my main platform). I don't really do mobile gaming so the Switch will pretty much be a home console for all intents and purposes, so I'm also not really affected by games that are "good for Switch mobility" like Hades (as an example--I already own that on PS5).

Thanks!

As far as I understand:

both Zeldas
Super Mario Maker 2
Super Mario Odysee
Splatoon

Aw man, I forgot about Splatoon, and I think that would have been great but apparently there's no splitscreen multiplayer. Good suggestion though!

There's a good Kirby game on the switch that has coop story mode.

Hell yeah, that's perfect! Kinda forgot that I did also have the original Gameboy, and Kirby's Dreamland was almost certainly my favorite game on it.

I absolutely loved Splatoon 2, especially the DLC. It's such a shame that you have to pay for online battles though.

I love Mario Maker, but I would suggest skipping 2 at this point. It's been out so long that most of the hype has died on it and there is so much garbage content that somebody picking it up right now is likely to get frustrating for new players.
