Gaming Planning to buy a switch, what should I buy?

Daniel72 · Apr 16, 2018

I'm planning to buy a switch next week and I want to know what accessories I should buy. The ones I'm sure I'm going to buy are:

-2 games
-Pro controller
-Pro controller + Joycon charging dock
-something GB micro sd card

1) I'm not sure which size of micro sd card I should buy
2) Is there anything else to buy that is kind of a must-have?
3) Which game should I buy from these(MK8, Xenoblade 2, Splatoon 2, SMO, and BOTW)? I'm eventually going to buy all 5, but still, which is the best in your opinion?
4) I live in South Korea, and the Eshop in my country is pretty empty. I want to use the US Eshop instead, so I'm wondering if the debit cards from South Korea work on American Eshops.

Splatoon 2, SMO are the best imo

If you like JRPGs, you will love Xenoblade 2.

A MicroSD card isn't a must-buy unless you plan to heavily use the eShop. If so, 128GB minimum. As for the games, BotW is considered the best, my personal favorite is Xenoblade 2, and Splatoon is the only one I'd leave out. As for cards, if they don't work, you can still buy Nintendo eShop cards online.

I sure liked Xenoblade 1, so I guess I'm buying that

I also suggest buying a case and a screen protector, better keep that baby safe!

TotalInsanity4 · Apr 16, 2018

I would absolutely buy BotW, because the hype behind it is absolutely justified. It really depends on what kinds of games you typically play though

Edit: Of all the games you listed, though, I'd either hold out on MK8 for a while or just get it used on eBay

if you never owned a wiiu i think must haves are mario karte 8 dx and smo imo, or splatton if you prefer multiplayer only.

I think you should get Zelda, i know its not on your list, neither your most wanted game, but you should give it a try.

nero99 · Apr 16, 2018

get mario kart 8 and breath of the wild. both are addicting and fun. also get a 128GB micro sd card, even if you plan to do physical games only.

How is mario kart 8 different from 7? I never played it before, so if it has some great improvements and/or changes, I should buy it.

My bad, i didnt see the BOTW.

But yeah, go for it, even if you finish the main story, which took me around 15 hours, you still have the side quest, and if you for some reason update, you have the new content plus the DLC.

i have 19 phisical switch games and i see no reason to even had an sd card lol, why would you need 128gb sd card if your going for phisical only.

all mario karts are diferent, diferent tracks more vehicles, more parts, diferent characters and so on, is like asking how is any game sequel diferent from the other.

Antigravity, gorgeous stages, better multiplayer and in my opinion driving feels better, especially at higher CC's. It's not an insta-buy game, though, in my opinion. It was on the Wii U, but on the Switch there are better day 1 buys

KingVamp · Apr 16, 2018

Also depends on, if you are ready to eventually pay online and want to play some these games online.

hippy dave · Apr 16, 2018

Odyssey.

Monochrover · Apr 29, 2018

^ And yeah don't forget the upcoming online costs if you're looking at games like Splatoon 2. Also, 8 is just a huge overall improvement to the mix-and-match kart making system + anti-gravity tracks really make the game shine in comparison to 7. And if you have spare cash, the DLC's add a ton of more content as well. ++Multiple colors for Shyguy/Yoshi

botw best game this generation.
Odyssey if you like mario 64 and probably second best switch game.
