I see tons of games that are interesting, but the price tags are crazy. I want a game I can pour hours into and my expectations are sky high for the 100 dollar price tags. The games gotta be peak, but peak is subjective and I wonder what you all consider worth it in the Switch II library as of today.
Which Switch II games are actually worth picking up?

I mean, game pricing isn’t solely a Switch 2 problem. They cost the same as any new game on any other platform, beside for Mario Kart, which I agree is a mistake and not a good look.
I enjoyed Bananza and Pokopia. Bananza had me wanting to keep playing the entire time and Pokopia held me for 100 hours. Depends what kind of games you like. I also enjoyed Mario Kart, but you’d probably want that and something else, like DK to split your time.
$500 for the console, $70-$100 per game which never go on sale, $20-$80 annual subscription for online service. All before tax.
I’m just gonna wait until there’s an emulator, assuming I’m still interested at that point.
I think Kirby Air Riders kicks ass but some people bounced off it pretty hard. If you have the ability to try the first game it’ll give you a good idea as to if you’ll like the second.
Agreed. I almost bounced off the first game, but after seeing Sakurai’s Direct for Air Riders, with a better understanding of how the game mechanics worked, I went back to Air Ride and warmed up to it. Air Riders completely won me over, especially with Road Trip. Such a seamless integration of the formula into a roguelite-esque single-player campaign!
Zelda Botw & especially Totk
Beating it is easy, but you can stay entertained hanging out in the world for a long time. In Totk, you can share build recipes and try a bunch of whacky inventions
Also Smash Bros but, if you don’t already know of it, it probably isn’t your jam.
Mario Kart World’s alright.
My wife got her money’s worth out of Pokopia. If the idea of a Pokemon/Stardew Valley/Minecraft hybrid appeals to you, it should be worth the money. It wasn’t developed by Gamefreak so it’s actually good
