I finally got a Switch! What now? (beehaw.org)

After years of lamenting about the cost, I was gifted a switch recently (<3 to my friend). I haven't been following Switch games too closely, so I need to know what I should buy.

So far I've bought Neo:The World Ends With You, The First Tree, Katamary Damacy Reroll, and Final Fantasy VII. BOTW and TOTK are on my wishlist. What else do you recommend I get?

Also: I noticed a few things I want are on sale. Should I buy these now, or would they be on sale again soon? I know Nintendo is notorious for not discounting, but is it the case that the same games go on sale every few months (like Steam), or would I be missing out if I don't get them now?

The first party nintendo series are worth checking out across the board; Mario Odyssey, Zeld 1&2, Metroid Dread, Smash Ultimate, Fire Emblem 3h, etc. etc. *edit: except pokemon, those ones are trash. Play Casette Beasts instead.

Indie titles like Hollow Knight, Stardew Valley, Celeste, and Gungeon I end up liking more than their PC versions since you can lounge in bed and play them.

Skyrim, Dark Souls really don't need me to sell them, pick em up if you haven't played them before, or just want to play them again. Wondeful 101, Astral Chain and Bayonetta 1 & 2 are fun.

I like Warframe, so I'll plug that too, even though you're probably not going to want to play it undocked since it's an online thing.
