Do you have switch game recs?
YES do i ever!!! ty so much for asking
play undertale/deltarune (oldschool rpg/bullet hell) even if you’re the kind of person who doesn’t normally like games like that. i know hype aversion and the fandom has put some people off but i don’t know of a single person who got to the true ending of undertale who didn’t love it to pieces. this is probably the best bang for your buck on switch unless you find one of these other titles on sale
okami is on switch and if you like adventure games it is BALLER. some misogyny included but it’s largely ignorable and fun as fuck. it was heavily inspired by zelda so if you like zelda you’ll almost certainly like okami
animal crossing is an amazing time sink if you haven’t tried it already. i’d tell you what it’s about but i’m pretty sure everyone on god’s green earth is sick of hearing about it by now. similar to that one is stardew valley (a farming sim, eerily addictive, played it when i had bronchitis and thought i was about to die to forget the 4-hour wait for medical care)
breath of the wild (open world/exploration) is in my top 5 zelda games and definitely one of the best games on the switch. hundreds of hours easily. worth every dime. link’s awakening is also an exploring/adventure game and the remake is soooo charming and cute, the world will suck you right in
cadence of hyrule is another zelda game, it’s a rhythm game with a light amount of music-based combat. i finished it in like 3 days so it’s kinda pricey for that playtime but i was head-bopping the whole time
i don’t have the mario classics yet but i got my switch for smash bros, which everyone loves, and i got mario kart 8 as a gift. if you’ve never played either series and like fighting/racing games you’ll probably enjoy yourself!
shovel knight is a cute little single player platformer. i had a lot of fun with it and really enjoyed the quirky story but it is HARD as fuck so just be warned going in. they counts your deaths in the credits and mine was in the like 200s
puzzle games: tetris 99 is free, but you can buy a single player mode. lumines was also a large portion of my childhood and teenhood
i played pac-man championship edition on xbox when it came out and it fucking rules
i have not played untitled goose game (i don’t know what genre this is, meme??) or ori and the blind forest (metroidvania platformer) myself yet, but i watched playthrus and wanna try them soo bad i’m like 99% sure they rule
spryo the dragon is on switch and i had a blast with the original version. i’m sure the remake is even better. ditto for skyrim, though i am told the switch port is buggy...but all elder scroll games are buggy; it’s part of the charm. if you like open world and all you have is a switch, better skyrim on the switch than no skyrim at all.
there are a number of final fanasties on switch. i absolutely love final fantasy ix! i have not personally played final fantasy vii but it is beloved the world over. final fantasy x and x-2 are also on switch and though i haven’t played them myself either i loved the story a LOT.
buy yourself a switch online membership if you can. for $20 you get access to the snes/nes library for a year and i can’t tell you how many gems there are in there. a link to the past, kirby superstar saga, dr. mario, the original legend of zelda, super mario brothers...it’s a really good fucking value actually
VERY IMPORTANT: in the nintendo e-shop there’s a section called “great deals.” i found a little shooter there called super bit blaster that i’ve wasted like ten hours on so far and it only cost me nine cents. it’s not deep and it’s not the best game i’ve ever played but it cost me NINE. CENTS. i paid like a penny for every hour i’ve whiled away on that thing. if it’s in the great deals section and it’s either free or under a dollar you have very little to lose by trying it out!
#liz answers asks#anonymous#nintendo switch#ty very much for asking i love talking about video games#mario odyssey and paper mario origami king are supposedly v good#but i can't vouch for them personally#if you like indie games there are also a bunch on switch i haven't played but have heard good things about#cuphead celeste etc#and if you like rpgs pokemon will probably suit you as well. it depends on your genre really!#i hope you get good use out of your switch!!!!

Hang on there buddy #6
Trigger warnings: suicide mentions, self harm, ghost, character death, murder mention
Rowan had them sat in his office as he typed up a record, he spoke quieter then usual- but clearly more angry. "So let me get this straight: you try and hit Grian- who by the way has been struggling with mental illness for quite some time now- because he got angry at you for embarrassing him?" Lord Xelqua nodded, adjusting his icepack as Rowan scowled deeper. "And now you want to report Sam for losing it when jumping to defend his friend?" He raised an eyebrow and shifted in his seat.
Lord Xelqua nodded. "Yes, this heathen assaulted me withou-"
"I think the fuck not." Rowan glared and when Xelqua tried to speak he chuckled. "Oh you don't get to speak, you think you can come in here and mess with my most troubled students? You think you can simply try and hit one of my students? What the hell is wrong with you?" He continued to type. "I will make a report," He rolled his eyes at the Lord's smirk. "But it will be on you: parking your jet on private property, assault on a minor, aggravation of a mentally ill person, neglect and child abuse." He glanced at Sam and Grian with a smile. "You two will be fine, you did nothing wrong. Now get to class maggots!"
Sam grinned and grabbed Gran's hand, trying to drag him but when he realised that the blonde was frozen he simply picked Grian up and ran out. Lady Rustia stared in shock and disgust. "Don't call my son a maggot."
"It's fine, it inspires spite in them- spite is the best motivater." He smiles at her and continues to write up his report. "How are you anyway Mrs? That scream sounded rather panicked and you haven't said a thing yet, something on your mind?"
Prudence sighed. "Well I'm worried about Grian, I know I'm not the best parent, far from it...but I do care, and I know Grian thinks I don't but I just think he'd be happier on his own, you know?" Rowan nodded so Prudence continued. "I'm absolutely appalled that he tried to kill himself and I'm kind of let down that it took me talking down about his uncle for him to confess..."
Rowan raised an eyebrow, not being aware of who Grian was related to. "His uncle?"
"Yes, his uncle Gareth- I believe he used to work in this school?"
Rowan's eyes widened, the little blonde kid that was struggling with depression was the nephew of Gareth. Gareth was Rowan's best friend so the fact that not only had his best friend killed himself but his best friend's nephew had tried to follow hit hard, his breath hitched for a second but he remained professional. "Oh yeah, his grave's out back if you want to pay your respects." He saw Lady Rustia raise an eyebrow and he shrugged. "The kids seem to like it." He realised that this meant that Lady Rustia had been talking down about Gareth but he wasn't going to get angry about that, he was too angry anyway. He stood up as he finished and sent off his report and opened the door. "Now if you'd thank me, I've got work to get on with so if you'd mind..." He nodded to the doorway and the two nobles stood in turn, filing out of the office.
The class was gossiping again, about Grian's parents this time. They'd heard what happened with Sam and were giving Grian sympathetic looks and patting Sam on the back. J had stated how he was surprised that Grian was old money, he didn't act like it at all. Everyone had their own theories on how Grian could be so rich and yet so depressed at the same time.
Grian himself was highly uncomfortable, he didn't want his parents to be here. His father was harsh and judging and his mother could pick up micro emotions like it was obvious, they'd out him to all his friends and make him feel like shit while doing so- and his father would tell him they weren't worth his company anyway. They always disregarded his feelings, treated him like he was just some ornament they could string up whenever they needed someone to see what nice people they were. That was why he'd ran away all those years ago, it'd been to awful when his aunt brought him back to his mother, but of course Grian had forgiven her, she was the only person in this damn family who cared about him. Now there was no one...come to think of it, Gareth had been rather caring towards him, offering to hold his hand on the train because he knew Grian was scared of them, bringing him sweets whenever he visited, staying behind to babysit him when they all went for Grian's mothers birthday. Grian suddenly felt the guilt wash over him again, he wished he hadn't been such a bitter, selfish child- maybe that was why his parents hated him...
After a while, the bell rang for lunch and Grian stumbled downstairs with Taurtis making sure he was ok, Grian wasn't really sure, he'd avoided going to lunch with the rest and had always stayed behind slightly and today he knew why. The smell of all that food, some fresh, sent him reeling, he hadn't eaten proper food in ages, sure he'd had hospital food but he barely touched that- he only ate what he could manage without feeling sick. And now he was being attacked by the scent of fresh food, he couldn't help but feel faint. He was guided to a seat and had to watch as everyone opened their lunch boxes, his stomach growling as he gazed over at all the food.
He hadn't been able to buy anything as they hadn't stopped off at the shop, not that he was going to buy food anyway. He sat down next to Taurtis, pulling at lose threads in his uniform as he tried to ignore how hungry he was. Sam was having none of it, however. He frowned and broke his sandwich in half, putting one half on the table in front of Grian. "Eat, you've been through a lot recently, you need strength."
Grian stared down at the sandwich, guilt rising up in his chest again. "But it's your lunch..?" He didn't want to steal from Sam, the rabbit had been nothing but kind to him. Sam assured him it was fine, that he was giving it to him but one part really stood out to Grian.
"Your my friend and I love you dude, even if you weren't I'd want you to be healthy. Just sallow your pride and understand that we want to help, you're not stealing, you're accepting help."
Grian slowly nodded and bit into the sandwich, the first proper food he'd had in a while. The only hospital food they could get him to eat was mac 'n' cheese for every meal so this soft white bread with salted butter and crisp iceberg lettice made such a difference. Grian would've preferred meat but he wasn't going to look a gift horse in the mouth, he happily devoured his half of the sandwich, thanking Sam quietly as he sipped on a cup of water from the fountain.
After lunch they went to the changing rooms to get ready for gym and Grian had to face his next big challenge. He was expected to get changed in front of everyone but he didn't want anyone to see his scars when he removed his shirt. He sat on a bench quietly, trying to will himself into getting changed. It was J who finally noticed and went over to him, putting a hand on the blonde's shoulder with a friendly smile. "You know no ones forcing you to take part, I'm sure if you asked Rowan he'd let you sit this one out. Don't worry too much, no one holds it against you."
Grian nodded and let J lead him to Rowan who surprusbgly agreed and let Grian sit this lesson out, handing him a fidget cube to toy with. He did make Grian promise to take part tomorrow, telling him he can change in the toilets. The cube was surprisingly relaxing for Grian, the switch was his favorite, he sat silently clicking it as he watched the rest of the class play volleyball.
Maybe it was sweat, maybe it was Grian's crush or maybe it was the fact they were in Japan but Sam and Taurtis both seemed to sparkle. It was obvious that their team would win, what with Sam inherent advantage when it came to jumping and Taurtis's muscles. Grian would be lying if he said he wasn't enjoying the view, he felt something trickle onto his top lip, he wiped at it and came away with blood. He blushed bright red and felt the guilt wash over him once more, he shouldn't be this stupidly attracted to his friends. He forced himself to focus on his fidget cube, almost instantly calming down- utterly distracted.
But when he made eye contact with Taurtis as the taller went to change into regular clothes, the guilt returns and Grian groaned, buying his face in his hands. He looked up to see both Yuki and Chan looking at him, his anxiety rising in his chest. Chan aproached him quietly, muttering that Ellen had told her to tell Grian he was single now, Ellen was going back to pie. Grian nodded slowly, understanding. He did like Ellen but he knew the timing was off and it wasn't fair on them, Grian was surprisingly fine with this.
He sat there for a while, while the others all got dressed, just staring into space. Taurtis would have to dip out if the house viewing early as he had a date with Chan planned for tonight, so Grian wanted to see the most expensive houses first so his friend could see the best of what there was. They'd have to take picyuree to show him but Grian could manage that, he took mean photos. His attention turned back to his figet cube as he saw Okami and Rowan talking out of the corner of his eye. It took about five minutes before Rowan called over. "Hey maggot! You can keep that if you want!"
Grian thanked him as the class began to leave the changing rooms and head home, Sam can over and beamed at the smaller. "Hey G, how you feeling?"
"My parents want to take us on a house viewing." He answered as Taurtis bounced over, he stood up and started towards the exit. He could see his parents waiting just off grounds, his mother had changed into a pale salmon coloured dress and the pearls that adorned her neck were from harods, anyone would think she were going to a dinner party and not a house viewing in the suburbs.
