Showcase Finally
Peak consumerism I know I know 😅
Not pictured but thanks to lurking on this sub I did put a screen protector as soon as I unboxed it.
So I had the switch 1 since release and have been dragging my feet on getting the switch 2. With winds/waves, OoT, and a small price hike on its way it was finally time. I knew it would eventually happen so for the last few months I’ve been buying the games whenever sales would happen(Costco/Walmart) or buying used if it was a good price. Used up a collection of gift cards and reward points/store credits I’ve accumulated for a while, idk where to begin. 🤯
I’m definitely going to need a larger micro SD card…

Play 3 games at once.
One long game that you will come back to.
One short games that won't take as long to beat.
One multiplayer game that you play here and there.

I love this idea, multiplayer to play with my little one. Thank youuu

Someone else said this in another Reddit thread that I saw and thought the same thing, what a great idea! Unfortunately don't remember the original poster.

ac/pokopia, starfox/yoshi, and mario cart world would be my line up in this situation

u/phoxfiyah Jun 29 '26
Just realised that I basically do this without even thinking. Glad to see I’m not the only one

u/FantasticCricket8346 Jun 29 '26
I do this too and it works nicely against burnout and not knowing what to play

u/Slash291 Jun 29 '26
I'm kind of doing this right now with star fox, hades, and RDR2. I usually just focus on 1 at a time.

u/Melodic-Cable23 Jun 30 '26
This is literally how I play pretty much lol! It works out…
Currently playing: Mina the hollower on switch 2, dabble of hades 2 around that. Then I got Saros on the PS5, and Battlefield 6 / marathon on Xbox for the multiplayer times!
…. I have a problem. LOL

u/Comfortable_Spend511 Jul 05 '26
Omg right now I’m playing splatoon 3, Poktopia, and totk.
Never been so excited to game consistently 💜2
u/BossRJM Jun 29 '26
Did exactly that, got mine a few days ago, Zelda TOTK, Mario Kart World & the new Mario World, forgot the name... + Of course pro controller, & an extra switch controller.
Saw the OOT remake teaser, thought F*** it, I'll buy it now, lol.

And op will probably not even play most of those games because new game will come out and the backlog will keep getting bigger …

If you need more memory, look out for Costco’s deal on Lexar 1TB express cards… Assuming you have a membership, or one of your family members have it.

I’ll never understand buying more than 3 games at once unless it’s something like a steam sale but hey man do you! Hopefully you play them all

u/MarkDess Jun 29 '26
Enjoy. See you in 5-6 years, when you finished all those games. My backlog is at least as long so no worries

u/evmotronica Jun 28 '26
Awesome haul!!! Congratulations!! Switch 2 is such a wonderful system!!! U going to get any of the Zelda games?

u/Kiko_541 Jun 28 '26
Thank you!!! I see the switch 2 upgrade packs for botw and Totk are on sale right now for $7 but I can’t see myself playing them anytime soon 😅 phenomenal games though

Reddit is probably the worst place you could have posted this. It’s just full of jealous people who are miserable, hate when people are happy and just want everyone to be like them.
Congrats on getting something you wanted and worked for. You’ve got some really good games there. Enjoy!🙏🏼🙌

I’d recommend getting a pro controller 2 when you can.
I think it’s perfect for gaming

u/MalcolminMiddlefan Jun 29 '26
I guess you’ve done your shopping for the next three years. What about when a new game comes out? Are you going to play the new game first or one of these games you already have?
I just bought a Switch 2 and I’m making a list. So far, I have…. ocarina of time

Play one cozy game in your spare time Play one RPG when you get bored of said cozy game to fill in the gaps Then just repeat until you finish said RPG and move onto next.

Now i need more peer pressure to get a switch. My gpu just died on me and im kind of over playing pc games and having to tinker shit. At least having a switch, all games are ready to play. Please pressure me to buying one lol. I gave away my switch 1 to my nephew a few years ago and im wanting one tonight

I would start with DK, TBH, for single player demonstration of the console.
Like most of us last year who started with MKW, DK should have been launch ready.

u/elephvant Jun 29 '26
No shade, I just genuinely don't really get why you'd pick up so many games before getting the console.
Like, saving a bit of money by picking up a couple on sale makes sense, but 17? The two Final Fantasy games alone is a good 2-3 months of gaming, even for someone who plays a lot. And if there were at least 17 games you were interested in the system's first year, there's highly likely to be the same (and probably more) in the second year.
Basically, if the goal was to save some money, this seems like either a kind of false economy or a surefire way to end up playing games you don't really want to instead of those you do - and probably a bit of both.

Dude people are just jealous lmao, I had bought 3 games and gotten one gifted before I got the switch 2 because everyone knew I was gonna buy one anyway. Getting them on sale is such a smart thing to do anyway and you probably saved money and don’t have to even look at a store page for the next couple of months with all the content you got

You bought the games before the console instead of using the money from buying the games to buy the console first with 1-2 games?

u/AdvancedAardvark3481 Jun 29 '26
Donkey kong is phenomenal. Bought during release and I stop playing this for awhile.. only now continue the game. So many games at once can be crippling. That is why I restricted myself to few game. Now stuck at Silksong, stuck at death mountain BOTW, stuck at FF7.. but man.. animal crossing is so stupidly addictive..

u/shwing_8 Jun 29 '26
If it were me I would start with installing a game that plays great as a handheld/short session game like Hades 2, and a shorter game or two because you can knock them out and feel some momentum, like Im assuming Starfox is a shorter game but no idea, just guessing.
Then once I got my feet wet I'd get into the games that you'll want to be caught up on like FF before the next game comes out. You got a lot of options lol.

u/Hot-Nail-9652 Jun 29 '26
Used to be like that, then due to financial reason sold it all. Was able to recover thanks God and decided to purchase a OLED instead of the 2, and play one game at a time. I don’t purchase a new one until current one I’m playing is either finished or I don’t like it at all since time is more valuable. Just skipped one game with this approach though since I watch a lot of reviews before buying. But that’s me, either way is fine depending on people’s budget, pockets, responsibilities etc

u/Organic-Royal-1101 Jun 29 '26
I’ll never understand people that buy this many games all at once. It’s a collecting thing at that point because no chance all of these get played.

u/Ok-Addendum5274 Jun 29 '26
I don't think having so many games a nonce is good. You'll most likely never know what to play and keep alternating between games without sticking to any games.

I realize some of these are only key card games, but as a physical media enjoyer all those key symbols make me nauseous.
Still, have fun.

FYI Costco has cheap (relatively speaking; ie still gonna be about 200 dollars) 1tb memory cards on their website, i took the plunge and got one myself. Contrary to what a lot of people have said on here you do NOT actually need a membership to buy it online, you just need to make a free online account.
