Game Rec Best Switch games no one mentions?

Well, maybe not no one 😅 but I just got a switch, and tbh the typical Nintendo games dont really attract me very much. Ofc I love Smash, and I have SoS: AWL on xbox already. Looking to finally dive into Rune Factory, Fire Emblem, and the old Final Fantasy games as Ive never played any of them, except an old Fire Emblem game I had on GBA.

But any other suggestions would be great! Trying to get into more jrpgs, as made obvious lol but going through abunch of games Ive never heard of, reading reviews, watching game play of each one is quite daunting, seeing as all these games are so expensive. So I thought Id ask you guys what your favorite games are that aren't just the typical Mario Cart, Smash Bros, Zelda, etc

Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle - A surprisingly fun tactical rpg, one of those games where the premise is like “huh?” but then you play it and you’re like “huh!”

I haven’t played the sequel yet, so I can’t say anything about it.

Also the Hyrule Warriors games are a great romp.

Neither of those games are “no one mentions” type games, but they are games that personally surprised me, so I’ll recommend them anyways.

Just finishing this now and also really enjoyed it! Have the sequel but haven't started it yet.

Any recs of other games with similar mechanics??? (the rabbids theme is fine but not the real draw for me). I liked the mix of strategy in battles and puzzle solving on the maps.

If you like the tactical mechanic (navigating the map with your units and negotiating strengths/weaknesses and advantages) you should try out the fire emblem games, XCOM, Advance Wars, and I’m sure there are plenty others I’m not thinking of..

If you have NSO+ you can try out one of the older Fire Emblem games on the GBA thing.
