Now imagine me, a person who likes the Switch as a handheld, having no games to really buy.
Any game suggestions keeping in mind that if it's on PC I don't want it.

Is $50 enough to buy a game in the US? Major titles are either $70 or $80 Canadian (I honestly don't pay attention anymore).

I guess Celeste was fun, and it's not $50. I don't know if it's on PC. Stardew Valley is phenomenal but it's on basically everything imaginable.

If you only have $50, you can't afford a switch game. Similarly, if you have $60, you still can't afford a switch game, because someone with only $60 should most definitely be saving it instead of buying video games.

I'm thinking of just getting the new Hatsune Miku game next month.

Only game on that list I've been interested in is Mario Maker. I'm not exactly a fan of Nintendo First party, and Mario Maker is probably always going to be $60.

I've basically always been a fan of Nintendo for Pokemon. It's always been a console buyer for me. I actually got really burned out on the 3DS because the 3DS was fucking AWFUL. Had a terrible game library, terrible graphics and after ORAS there was no reason for me to even support the system anymore.

Switch is totally different. The Switch Lite (I don't know about the OG switch) is fucking beautiful. I kinda wish it was hacked so I could write software for it.

Our local Walmart seems to barely stock games anymore, hasn't for months.

I doubt it's any better right now.

That's pretty crappy that gift cards are $50. Not enough for a new game, but they get their money anyway.

Yea it's actually a $50 Amazon card so it's understandable.
If I want something I usually just buy it, and there are very few things I actually want.

That'll cover Rune Factory 4, which is a fantastic game.

Then you're depriving yourself of some excellent games for absolutely no reason, since your boycott won't contribute at all to effecting the change you want. That's silly.

So... Pay the extra $10 to cover the difference?

I'm all for opinions but anyone who says The Switch or any platform that matter doesn't have good games must not like games at all. Most games are mutiplatform and the exclusives tend to cover any genre. I don't own a Switch but having AAA games portable is also appealing.

The AAA games apparently don't work as good on the Switch though.

Then there's ones like FF15 that's a gutted version just so they could get it on the Switch.

Given the hardware limitations that's not shocking news but doesn't change what I said.

Yeah it's definitely a huge upside to the Switch imo.

That being said, I'm just really into handheld systems too. For some reason I like having the game just right there. I know that's probably weird though.

There's nothing appealing about gutted games or games that don't work properly.
