This is just ridiculous. I own 60 Switch games and have 35 more on my eShop wishlist.

just counted, i got 26 games. 7 digital, the rest physical. i've only had the system for 8 months.
I own Zelda and Mario right now. I don't think there's much in 2019 I want to play, either. I think I bought this system prematurely.
Lmao how?! There are only like 12-15 games worth owning on the entire console right now, and that is being generous
that's just your opinion. people don't buy games that they think aren't worth playing.

There are actually plenty of games worth owning.
Yeah, I realized my 256gb card is nearly at capacity already and I thought 256gb was going to be pretty futureproof when I got it at launch, thinking I'd really only be playing periodic Nintendo exclusives...
Not as substantial a library as OP, but still far more than I expected when I invested in the Switch. This is a good thing though -- the Switch has exceeded my expectations for the most part in a very positive way and might be one of my favorite platforms of all time.
I have like 70 games in the Wishlist, too.

Screw actually playing the games too. I pretty much just collect Switch icons, just gotta add one more row....today.
Seeing how it's way too big to be used as a dedicated portable device (not to mention the joycon buttons being subpar), I guess you just really like getting games on the Switch specifically and that's okay. I have over 500 games on Steam (since 2008) and 1739 items on my PSN download list, across PS3, Vita and PS4 (since 2009), but those include games, DLC, demos, PS+ games, themes, avatars and so on, but if I ever owned a Switch I would stick to only a few exclusives.
I wish I could say my switch library was the same. After the first year my purchases really slowed down. There just hasn't been much that interests me. Mainly due to being a multi-platform owner.
Indies on Switch really don't do much for me. Meaning a lot of "this game is great on Switch" doesn't really apply to me. Nor does year old ports of Wolfenstein and the like.
I'm really hoping next year opens up with more stuff in my alley. No More Heroes is already starting the year right and we have MP4 and Bayo 3 coming. Hope there's some more variety along those lines as well.

"But Switch has no games, no third party support!"
...1 year later
"But Switch has no original games, only ports from Wii U!"
...2 years later
"But did those hundreds of games come only on Switch? No? GOT YOU"
this fucking Switch never catches a breath does it

Lol a majority of those games are either remasters or ports. It's actually only 3 brand new games for the switch in the top 10 of the list you posted. It's why I said 12-15. The ones that are worth owning on a Switch are mainly the exclusives and some games like Hollow Knight and Celeste.
Also considering the fact that most of these games just end up getting bought and never actually played is just further proof that there are not that many games worth owning lol.
I mean, do you don't really need to buy all the games you want if you don't have enough time to spend on it don't you
(I write this after impulse but Wipeout Omega, MGS, Soul Reaver and Castlevania SOTN on PS3...)

I've got 16 games ATM--maybe 2 on my wishlist, but I'm not in a rush to get them.
My issue with the switch's game selection is I'm not interested in a lot of Nintendo's first party work nor am I interested in most indies. I don't write either off as a rule of thumb, they just tend to be genres I don't care about.

I already own an insanely high number of games. Right now, I stand at 62 retail and at least 221 digital (I bought some games that were on sale last week, maybe about 5 or so).
I'm not completely made of money, the reason why I have so many is mostly due to the combination of waiting for games to go on sale, using Best Buy gift certificates, and eShop gold points.
No, I haven't gotten around to playing all the games but over the last several months, I have been taking my time playing random games and enjoying them.

Probably, but its quite obviously an opinion. Anyway IMHO just because you can afford to own 60+ games whether it be from sales or by some other means absolutely does not mean those games are worthwhile at all lol
Really?
60+ critically acclaimed indies and first parties are not worthwhile?
PS4 remaster and remake console confirmed /s
I've got over 50 physical and a dozen digital at this point. For me, a lot of the indies scratch that portable game itch. Love point and clicks and puzzlers. The eshop sales and gold coins have helped with costs, but I'm still a sucker for physical editions and pick those every time.
Thanks for the link. Just to put a number on it, there are over 100 Switch games with a metascore over 80. So the assertion that poster had made of 12-15 games worth owning is as close to objectively false as we can determine with this sort of thing.
Edit: having now seen the reply from the original personthe above poster quoted, I better understand where they're coming from with meaning for it to be their personal opinion as well as mainly including only exclusives. With that said, I still think that by a more objective measure the above statistic is interesting so I'll leave my post above unedited.
Okay .... ?
I didn't know you are only allowed to play or buy exclusive games for your system.
Plenty of people prefer to play on portables and Switch let's them put in hours into game that weren't realistic on a traditional console.
Saying that there are barely 12 games worth owning is just ridiculous ignorant.
There are a lot of great games for sure.
Especially if you haven't played indies or skipped one/ps4 it's an abundance of riches.
If you only play new triple A games it's not as great of course but why would you do that?

I mean I've got a ton of ps4/xb1 games and my steam library is INSANE due to bundles
But I'd struggle with figuring out 60 switch physical games to even buy. I own about a dozen and I consider them all fantastic but beyond that the game list gets pretty bad. ARMS? Troll and I? ewww

I own 5 games, but the Switch slowly is getting there... 1 year ago the line-up was much worse. Wasn't even able to find an indie game if I wanted to. Now the indie situation is good and there are slowly some games worth playing getting out there that aren't years old ports... Plus the Switch is getting any more mileage than ever before. And I don't know if I ever had 60 games for any console....
You see it's also a bit ridiculous to hold the Switch to a different standard because it's a console too. I'm sorry for your backlog btwI mean I've got a ton of ps4/xb1 games and my steam library is INSANE due to bundles

I own something like 35 myself, and I've beaten most of them. This year I made up my mind to only buy games when I was ready to play them and its worked wonders. Stuff like Okami and VC4 which has been crazy cheap a couple times I've skipped on because I know I wouldn't be able to play them right now and I always have something lined up.
I have 28 games and a shit load of demos.
It has replaced the Super Nes as my favorite system of all time.

I've consistently playing Dark Souls Remastered since launch but couldn't beat it yet, I'm close to do it though, it's just free time is so short :/
Pretty much the same library as the the PS4/X1 excluding the most ambitious 3rd party titles (and those consoles exclusives), but including interesting Nintendo exclusives.
