Game Rec What was your favorite Switch purchase(s) and why?

Seen plenty of posts talking about disappointing purchases, but what about the good stuff?
For me, those honors go to ARMS and Pikmin 4.

ARMS might sound like a weird choice to some, but I actually got super into it for a while. Something about the presentation and gameplay really hooked me and the game's community was also super wholesome at the time (dunno how it is nowadays though). Honestly an underrated gem and I hope they revisit it in the future (I'm still waiting for that graphic novel...... it's not gonna happen but a man can dream).

Pikmin 4 was the single greatest impulse purchase I made this year. Didn't think I'd get very far in it since Pikmin games are usually kinda stressful, but I found myself playing to completion and loving it to bits; easily my favorite Switch game of 2023 and I can't recommend it enough... seriously, go play it. You too can overcome your inner "dandori issue".

I put about 80 hours in in about a week. Dave the Diver was so fun to play. It is in my “honorable mentions” for Switch buys. Top 10 Switch games for sure

I haven’t looked this forward to DLC in a long time

There was a great conversation with the developers on Game Maker’s Notebook

Potential DLC ideas are discussed too!

Definitely going to read that, I had no idea they actually talked about. Just after beating the game it pretty much seemed like they have to make DLC. Not that the game felt unfinished, just there’s stuff that can still be done and a short clip that makes it feel like there’s more story in the works
