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?

E-Shop is very feature poor compared to Steam. I use Deku Deals to get notified when something I want goes on sale. They offer a pricing history as well to gauge how often a title has price cuts.

Thinking of picking up Dragon's Dogma: Dark Arisen ($4.99), Okami HD ($9.99) and maybe Spyro Reignited Trilogy ($15.99) from the eShop.

Anything I should be wary about regarding performance on the Switch?

Just remember the handheld usually runs in a lower rez and you'll be fine :)
