I think the Switch is worth it for Breath if the Wild alone. Mario Odyssey is also a very very good game. Also the Switch itself is much more convenient for me than a console that needs to be plugged in to power and the TV all the time. I own about 30 games for it now, mostly indies or first-party titles but a few major third-party titles like The Outer Wilds.
Before the Switch I would have had to say the Wii was my favourite ever console, and I’ve only ever owned Nintendo handhelds, so yeah, safe to say I’m a Nintendo guy. Shame about how they’ve treated Pokemon lately but Mario and Zelda are doing really well.
Mario Odyssey does look like a lot of fun. I liked the look of the game Bayonetta 2. I never did get into the new Zelda games. I know people love them and everything. I played some of Ocarina of Time but it wasn't new anymore and some of the effect was gone. It was still pretty fun but I was more into traditional RPGs. I loved SNES, GBA, and N64 as a kid, those were fun times. I enjoyed Pokemon Silver for Game Boy Color when I was a kid, but didn't play any of the others. I also got the mini SNES they released last year. I was slow to get into Pokemon because my first introduction to it was the card game, and I was a big M:TG fan for years and it just seemed to pale in comparison...yet it was so popular at my school etc., I didn't quite get it.
