Just because: Zelda: Breath of the wild
For online play: Super Bomberman R.
For addictively challenging gameplay with a ton of content: Binding of Isaac Afterbirth+
For local multiplayer fun: Snipperclips
As for accessories, the Pro Controller is absolutely amazing but not necessary. Also if you want a case, look for the official Nintendo one. Should be around $22 at Wal-Mart.
Some screen protectors would also be a good idea, and there are none better than the amFilm tempered glass ones: https://www.amazon.com/gp/product/B01N3ASPNV/ref=oh_aui_detailpage_o02_s00?ie=UTF8&psc=1

The pro controller makes a big difference if you're playing it mostly in docked mode.
ATTN: Looking for friends to add on my nintendo switch, as I dont know a single other person IRL who owns one yet! I felt that it would be rude to just go add everyone whose friend codes are exposed on here but ya'll can go right ahead and add mine if you want! Or if youre too lazy just reply to this or PM me and I'll do the adding! Thankst!

Heads up, BellTree citizens: We're getting a Nintendo Direct today with a focus on ARMS and Splatoon 2, as well some... 3DS game info. Ugh. There is also the very real possibility of a surprise or two considering this is a worldwide Direct.

I have to wait until my birthday to get the switch. Oh why do I have to do that? Why can't there be shortcuts?

If you're gonna buy games for it in the meantime, why not save up for a switch and ask for games for Xmas?

attention gamers,
I really hope they comes out with a ton more joycon colors. I like the look of the yellow ones, but I want pretty pink dammit
I'm not really interested in Splatoon 2. But my brother might.

Gosh, it's not the fact that it's a shortage of the Switch that bothers me. It's the time the shortage happened. I really want to get one of these over the summer and Nintendo is just being really sucky about restocking. I swear to you stores are only making those expensive bundles to match the insane inflated internet prices on Amazon and eBay.

I think part of the Switch's shortage issues could be attributed to the Toshiba Corp lacking NAND flash memory to meet demands. Smartphone and tablet manufacturers such as Apple tend to order this part in way larger bulk than Nintendo would've anticipated.
So far, there's about 3 millions Switches in the wild, and the Japanese giant is expected to sell 10 millions this year. If you can't afford to wait for next year, I'd suggest keeping your eyes peeled on your favorite retailers and hopefully snag the hardware as soon as it gets stocked.
