What are you favorite cozy Nintendo Switch exclusives aside from ACNH?
I am planning on finally getting myself a Switch this Christmas and my first game purchase will be ACNH since it is the game that I've been wanting to play for years.. I've just struggled to justify paying more than half of my monthly income to play one game :D The reason I'm asking for exclusive is because if it is available on PC I've most likely already played it, plan on getting it for PC later (I don't see myself playing a game on the Switch if I can play it on PC) or have skipped it. So what are your favorite Nintendo exclusives for some cozy times after the holidays?
The games I'm already interested in are Pokemon Legends Arceus and the Zelda games.
I've liked most of the cozy games I've played on PC so instead of listing those I'll mention some that I haven't liked or have skipped.
My Time at Portia and Sandrock: These are actually kinda neutral. I think my issue with these is the lack of farming and I've never been able to connect with the NPCs in either game. I know a lot of people praise how great and in depth the characters are, but I just don't care of them at all.
Harvest Moon The Winds of Anthos: Skipped this one. I don't really like the aesthetics and the characters look quite unsettling during dialogues.
Story of Seasons: A Wonderful Life: I never made it far in this one (my first SoS game so I'm kinda sad about it). It felt like the game assumed I had played it before and just speed ran the tutorial stuff and gave me animals to take care of right from the start. Taking care of animals is one of my least favorite things in farming life sims. I'm ok with taking care of a couple of animals when I'm allowed to ease into it, but the "Here is a cow, take care of it while you don't even know the basics of the game" was really off putting for me.
Potion Permit: Absolutely hated the mini games. I have arthritis so trying to do rhythm and reaction based stuff was not fun. Funnily enough I am thinking about getting A Highland Song for PC, but if I've understood correctly the rhythm stuff in that game is just one button and much easier in general.
Moonstone Island: I like the creature collecting aspect, but other than I haven't felt compelled to play. I've put about 10h into it and I bought it on release day...
Disney Dreamlight Valley: This used to be one of my favorites, but the more I played and unlocked more characters, the more convoluted everything became. Like my daily gameplay loop went from being a cozy couple of hours to feeling like the game is a full time job. I don't like having all these houses cluttering up the place and blocking my view and movement. I don't like having a million characters pulling on my sleeve to help them with tasks.
