Hi i just got my first Nintendo what is the 1 game that i should buy that i will spend hundreds of hours in. A game that isn't short I'm looking for a long game because I can't buy a new game every 1-2 weeks

Subnautica

#

Will last you atleast a week, if not more.

#

Lasted me a month nearly

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 3:12 PM

#

I have alr played it on my PC

#

I want a Nintendo exclusive game

#

oh

#

I dont have it but ive heard good things about mario oddesy and zelda breath of the wild

humble shore May 2, 2023, 4:18 PM

#

Breath of the wild (but you should probably just get tears of the kingdom on the 12th when it drops instead). Monster hunter rise if you like the gameplay loop/material grind

#

Big rpgs like xenoblade 3, skyrim, witcher 3

#

Or roguelikes that have high replayability (dead cells, binding of isaac, etc

#

I would say just wait for zelda tears of the kingdom

#

All the people that have played bits of it seem to love it. I'm sure it'll get rave reviews and have a ton of content

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

Shouldn't i have played botw before tok?

humble shore May 2, 2023, 4:22 PM

#

I mean theyre both set in the same locale but i dont think nintendo has let out any info on story/where it is in zelda tjmeline

#

Some people might say play them in order

#

But i think you could probably just jump into tok

#

Like i havent played every single zelda game made, and when i do play them i dont think im missing a lot because i havent played them all

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

And one more question

humble shore May 2, 2023, 4:24 PM

#

I feel like they tend to tell you what you need to know

#

If youve played them all, i guess you'll be more familiar w lore and timelines but i think they're all self contained enough that you can jump in where ever

#

At least from my past experience

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 4:25 PM

#

Can i play zelda with the joy cons or it is uncomfortable i have heard a lot of people complain about joy cons being uncomfortable

humble shore May 2, 2023, 4:26 PM

#

I mean def more comfortable on a pro controller or if you get drips

#

But if its like botw controls totally playable

#

I play handheld a lot

#

If you dont know if youll like tok

#

I suggets looking at skillups recent youtube of his private play session

#

Or genepark on twitch also recently talked about his recent play session

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 4:29 PM

#

Ok thanks

glacial shoal Hi i just got my first Nintendo what is the 1 game that i should buy that i wil...

Persona 5 Royal if it's within your budget

#

you can wait for a 30% off sale

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

It's w/e i want one game i can give 100$ for it doesn't matter just want to play it a lot

daring mason May 2, 2023, 5:51 PM

#

P5R is 120-150hrs per playthrough I'd say

#

game is kinda built for 2 playthroughs

maiden parcel May 2, 2023, 7:32 PM

#

Dying Light, Skyrim, Witcher 3, Xenoblade 3, Breath of the Wild, Tears of the Kingdom, Minecraft, Terraria, Don’t Starve Together, Assassins Creed Black Flag, Borderlands 2, Diablo 2, Diablo 3, No Man’s Sky, Plants vs Zombies Battle for Neighborville, Pokémon Scarlet/Violet, Torchlight 2, Wreckfest, Zombie Army 4

#

And ultra grindy games would be Marvel Ultimate Alliance 3 and Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition

#

Some of these games can easily pass 1k hours

#

Mario Maker 2 could fit in the list if you really like 2D Mario platforming

#

Forgot to add both of the Monster Hunter games, Generations Ultimate and Rise

#

Dragon Quest Builders 1 and 2

#

Probably a couple of Final Fantasy games as well

glacial shoal Did you mean grips

Yep grips whoops

glacial shoal May 2, 2023, 8:44 PM

#

humble shore Yep grips whoops

What kind of grips?

covert shell May 2, 2023, 8:56 PM

#

There's a lot of good suggestions up there ⬆️⬆️
But I didn't see anyone suggest Animal Crossing New Horizons
If its your kind of game, it lasts a really long time. My first island took me 6 months to complete
My brother has like 800 hours on his Animal Crossing 😅

botw or xenoblade 1

Botw or xenoblade

daring mason May 3, 2023, 2:37 AM

#

Personally I didn't find XC1 to last me more than 37hrs

#

lmaoooo the combat missed for me ngl

covert shell There's a lot of good suggestions up there ⬆️⬆️ But I didn't see anyone suggest ...

While it is a great suggestion, just remember that you won’t be able to play it for a long time until you unlock most of the features. I think it takes a month if you don’t time travel

steel igloo May 3, 2023, 6:23 AM

#

I would say Zelda BOTW /TOTK AND the 3 xenoblade games with all DLC. Gives you 600+ hours if u take it easy

steel igloo May 3, 2023, 6:24 AM

#

finite snow botw or xenoblade 1

THATS DUNBAN OVER THERE!

Ahh yes I kind of forgot that since I usually just speed run 3 stars and time travel to unlock everything haha
