It's almost the end of 2018, how's your Switch library looking?

[Neoxon]

I thought now would be a good time to look at how our Switch libraries are shaping up. In my case, I kinda cheated & edited in Smash (which I'm getting this Friday) & Mega Man 11 (which I asked for for Christmas), both of which I'll get physically.

Smash & MM11 aside, here are my hours...

• Splatoon 2: 275 hours
• Zelda BotW: 235 hours
• ARMS: 140 hours
• Xenoblade 2: 130 hours
• MK8D: 65 hours
• Odyssey: 55 hours
• Sonic Mania: 35 hours
• Xenoblade 2 Torna: 20 hours
• Fortnite: 5 hours
• NES Online: A little while

 

[ScottyJayMan]

I have filled up a 400gb SD card and another 50 on a 200gb one that's how my library is looking

 

[Aters]

I sold SMO and Splatoon 2 so now my Switch library consists of a grand total of 2 games: BotW and XB2.

 

[texhnolyze]

Mostly F2P games like Arena of Valor, Fortnite, Warframe, and such, as well as some demos.

I literally don't own any Switch game right now, I most buy and sell my retail console games.

 

[UsoEwin]

I regret buying more than a few of these.

My god, & I don't even have a Micro SD Card yet.

 

[Kamiyouni]

81+ games on wish list and own 20+ finished 0.

 

[foxuzamaki]

Its fucking huge im not gonna lie, like a couple weeks ago i counted all my icons that werent demos or betas or what have you and I'm pretty sure I have 100 if not close to 100 games and that's give or take 1 or 2 games i might have deleted the icon with the game

 

[Gnorman]

Minecraft, Scribblenauts and Fortnite for kids.
Tumblestone for wife.
Wonderboy for me.

Got my eye on a few but not until they get a decent discount so maybe never!

 

[Ramathevoice]

Meh. MK8, Mario, Captain Toad, Sonic Mania Plus, Pokémon and a couple demos. Also borrowed BotW off a friend and am planning on getting Mario Party and Smash Bros by the end of the week. Not huge, but then again my consoles are mostly used for exclusives.

 

[Samanosuke Akechi]

Just got mine over Black Friday weekend. So far, just Mario kart 8, and demos for captain toad and kirby allies. Hoping I get smash and super Mario party for Christmas.

 

[dean_rcg]

Far too big.

 

[Falconbox]

dusty

 

[Normal]

MK8
Odyssey
And will be picking up Smash.

Bought the Switch around the summer of this year. Thinking of picking up Octopath, but only when it gets a deep discount. Regreted paying full price for Odyssey.

 

[Keldroc]

12 games total, about what I expect from a Nintendo console at this point in its life.

 

[Gaiaknight]

Been really enjoying my switch since i got it on launch day and im very happy with my library and 2019 is looking to be a stellar year for switch also.

[sleepnaught]

Overall, pretty happy with the Switch library. I wish it had a better Mario game, as I didn't care for Odyssey much. If 3D World makes it over, that will fill the void for me. Once Yoshi, Metriod and Luigi's Mansion 3 releases, I'll be perfectly satisfied.

[Kemono]

Only bought Hollow Knight and Pokemon this year.

Next year looks promising but this year was a huge bummer for me personally.

 

[Quantum Leap]

Just three physical games for me. Mario Kart, Zelda, and Super Mario and Smash in a few days.
Good enough for me since I completely skipped the Wii U.

 

[aiswyda]

Today? It looks okay. About 9 games I've enjoyed/put some time into.

Hopefully by summer of next year it'll look better! Katamari, Civ VI (I'm waiting until I have free time for this tbf), FF9, FFCC, Animal Crossing, FE:TH, Daemon x Machina, Bayonetta 3, Mineko's Night Market, Goose Game, Wargroove--I know some of these have no release dates but I'm hoping some are earlier rather than later.

 

[Zalman]

I'm approaching 40 games, which is easily the fastest I've ever grown a collection for a console. So needless to say, it's looking pretty good.

 

[FF Seraphim]

Got like 20 games since I got the system at launch. So I think doing pretty well all things considered.

The only one I'm slightly disappointed in is Octopath.
This year has definitely been quieter. Next year will be better tho

 

[noyram23]

I got BotW, Odyssey, S+R, Diablo 3, Xenoblade 2 + Torna, Mario Tennis, Mario Party, Minecraft, and Pokemon Let's Go Pikachu. Sold Wolfenstein 2 and Doom due to how bad they run on Switch.

It's alright but definitely disappointed right now with my launch day purchase. It can be easily fixed with Fire Emblem and exclusive jrpgs though

 

[zephiethewisp]

i just rebought one the other day after selling mine last year for rent, so i only have let's go eevee, fast rmx and sonic mania. had botw, mk8 and mario odyssey before though

 

[Deleted member 8166]

I've too many games already. had to buy a 400GB card and it's already down to only 150GB...

 

[LordRuyn]

I just bought mine on BF and only have WF and stardew valley so far, which is enough to start. Friday i should be getting Smash Bros in the mail. I mostly use it for my daily commutes so I need games that I can play for 45 minutes at a time or so.

 

[DJwest]

I only have 5 games :
-Zelda
-Mario Odyssey
-Xenoblade 2
-Pokemon Pikachu
-Octopath Traveler (best Switch game I have so far)

 

[Malfred]

If we're counting SmUsh then I have 13 games.

Super Mario Odyssey
Mario + Rabbids
Breath of the Wild
Xenoblade Chronicles 2
Fire Emblem Warriors
Hyrule Warriors
Let's Go: Eevee
Darkest Dungeon
Salt & Sanctuary
The World Ends With You
Warframe
Octopath Traveler
Smash Ultimate (3 days left!)

Planning on purchasing quite a lot more in the new year.. Starting out strong with the Vesperia remaster in the middle of January.

 

[Barn]

I own about 48 games for the system, which I bought at launch. I'll easily crack 50 before 2019. Gonna need that 512 GB card real quick.

Having been gaming since the NES and buying my own stuff since the GameCube era, I've never had this many games for a console this briefly into its lifespan. The combination of going all-digital, the system's hybrid form factor, and its library's focus on the trifecta of Nintendo, indies and retro has just hit one hell of a sweet spot for me.

To be honest, I almost stopped using other systems altogether. The only games I played on PS4 all year are Edith Finch, Hellblade, NnK2, 428, DQXI and the Persona Dancing games. I've always been more of a handheld person despite only playing at home and Switch's is pretty much the ideal at home handheld. I just really enjoy using the hardware. And as a disclaimer, I received review codes for a good chunk of those games I listed.

And I bought Skylink yesterday (couldnt resist the starter pack for 37.50 what a mega duper bomba that was) and should have it by friday.

So pretty healthy I think, especially considering I had exactly 1 game on the Wii (zelda TP) and 2 games on the Wii U (zombiu and funky farm lol), I hadnt played or cared about a nintendo system like this since... err the gamecube I guess but im pretty sure I already own more Switch games than I had GC ones.

 

[sandworms]

I got it at launch and I have 49 games, all but 4 or 5 are digital. I love this thing.

 

[Benzychenz]

Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
Super Mario Odyssey
ARMS

That's everything I've wanted so far, only one I regret is Pokken, skipped it on Wii U so thought I'd check it out the second time around and yeah, I was right to skip it.

 

[rude]

Nonexistent. I'm waiting for the new Switch and Bayonetta 3 and Shin Megami Tensei 5.

 

[Vishmarx]

i bought like 4 or 5 games on switch this entire year counting pre orders.

 

[Slam Tilt]

I think I'm around 40 games by now. I could buy a lot more, but I'm forcing myself to not get more than one new game at a time so I actually work on my backlog instead of just collecting files. What I really need is time to play everything...

 

[Coztoomba]

Already back logged, like every other console.

 

[marvelharvey]

25 games in total.

I only made one disappointing purchase in 2017 (Tiny Metal) but a whopping 11 in 2018! Not a great year. Thankfully 2019 is looking pretty sweet.

Pleased with

• Mario Odyssey
• Zelda: Breath Of The Wild
• Splatoon 2
• Mario Kart 8
• Mario + Rabbids
• Into The Breach
• Yoku's Island Express
• Steamworld Heist
• Hyrule Warriors: Definitive Edition
• Rogue Aces
• The Gardens Between
• Pinball FX3 and various packs
• Civilization 6

Displeased with

• Donkey Kong Country Tropical Freeze
• Mario Tennis
• Starlink
• Marble It Up
• Gridd
• Darkest Dungeon
• Overcooked
• Slayaway Camp
• Battle Chef Brigade
• Tiny Metal
• Labo
• Fast RMX

 

[Burny]

Mh. I'm excluding f2p games I only installed and never game any serious play time:

• Mario Odyssey
• Mario & Rabbids Kingdom Battle
• Mario Kart 8
• Diablo 3
• Stardew Valley
• Hollow Knight
• Minecraft
• Rocket League
• Overcooked
• Lovers in a dangerous Spacetime
• Pokemon Let's Go Evee (will be a christmas gift for us)

By my standards, that's a lot on a Nintendo system we've had for just short of a year. Greatest regret is that I cannot possibly give these games all the time they deserve. Which is also what keeps me from going out to buy more games, because even taking into account Nintendo's output alone since launch, there'd be a few. Played BotW on the WiiU, so it's not in there.

I'm pretty stoked about the switch library, t.b.h.. It's the first time I'm observing Nintendo getting high profile 3rd party support. Combined wwith the unique portable form factor I've made more use of than I initially expected, it's absolutely glorious. The lack of the like of RDR2 and BF5 etc. are a pity, but hey, no harm in having another system for those.

Nothing by Nintendo in 2018 at all, and I don't play Smash either.

In spite of this I have 42 games in total. I regret plenty of those, and should really force myself to play through more of them.

It's looking a whole lot like my library at the end of 2017, I've bought Dead Cells, Pokémon and Diablo III. Maybe one or two more that I'm forgetting.

 

[Deleted member 41271]

BOTW, Dark Souls, Xenocrap 2, Blossom Tales, Toki Tori 2, Steamworld Dig 2, Mario & Rabbids.

Overal the library has been disappointingly small when it comes to games I didn't already play elsewhere, I'm hoping for more games I want next year.

 

[jviggy43]

Currently I have 0 games for it. That smash goodness will change that for me soon.

 

[Evergarden]
