Into the breach is the exact type of game I'd love. Unfortunately, they don't seem to be available in the usual spots online. Know where I can pick up the game at?

For Switch ? Just download it from the online store

We finished Luigi's Mansion a few weeks ago, and that was a lot of fun. A good play & watch game. Not overly complicated but it is nice looking and flows nicely.
Other games in rotation are Mario Kart, Animal Crossing lately (although none of us have really been hooked), I still enjoy Breath of the Wild on occasion even though I finished it a while back. Link's Awakening was fun but pretty basic, but a good throwback to the old days of Zelda.
We have started a weekly game night with another couple after everyone's kids are in bed and we've actually been playing Overcooked 2, which is fun but infuriating. And then a few rounds of Mario Kart.
Surprisingly we have recently decided to re-start Mario Odyssey after finishing it a couple of years ago. I like the music and the game is better looking and funner than I remember the first time around.
Super Mario U and Donkey Kong Tropical Freeze are both perfectly fine re-issues, but nothing new or groundbreaking. I can't say that they get a lot of play.
Wife plays Tetris 99 the most. I like myself a game of FIFA 20 on occasion to get my soccer fix. Mario Party is a good standby for a group game, but it obviously needs 3 or 4 people to be really fun. It has a small online option, but with a very limited number of mini games.
A game that is arguably really good that I just can't get into is Super Smash Brothers. Just not my genre.
As you can see, I'm not a super hardcore gamer or anything, and I do enjoy the Nintendo-style titles. My wife and I actually play the Switch more than our kid does.

I suspect that was supposed to be in the June E3 direct, but with everything delayed, they felt the need to satisfy the thirsty masses. Probably a good idea, since they don't want to lose the momentum ACNH and the pandemic have created. Also, it does look great! Especially since it doesn't seem to have that horrid card battle system Color Splash did.
After how bad Sticker Star and Color Splash were, I'm still going to wait to see reviews before actually getting excited about a new Paper Mario, but this does look like an improvement.
The Partners look as boring as ever, but at least there are partners?
I'm not convinced about the rotating battle system either.
Just finished BotW and while I'm super late to the party on this, was super impressed and would consider it the best Switch game and best tower-based open-world game. Pretty much flawless and inspired in every aspect of design, the only fault I have really with it was it being a little too easy, I never had any incentive to discover and use character buffs and beat most of the bosses on the first attempt. This makes it feel less immersive and satisfying, but Nintendo makes games for everyone and it's supposed to be a light, breezy game, so it's really just my preference not being met than being an actual flaw with this game that I would otherwise give a perfect score to. 9.7/10

With DLC there is a master mode that you can play in where enemies become more numerous and much tougher. Might be for you.

I haven't had a chance to play much of 51 Clubhouse Games yet, but there is one major limitation: most games are limited to 2 players. I get it with the card games and things like chess, but why bowling and golf?
So of the 51, only 2 games support 4 local players, and only 3 games support 3 local players. And because of that, you can't have two players on the same console playing online together with others.
I wasn't expecting Mario Party or anything, but it does seem to be a bit unnecessarily crippled.
That being said, it does look fun for single player vs. CPU, single player online, or two player local.
Just picked up Xenoblade Chronicles: DE and I'm upset with myself that I'm only just now learning about this series.
I played the original on Wii. hated the sidequests and generally felt I put too much time into meaningless exploration, but I really enjoyed the art direction and the story. The pacing in the second half is a bit messy but the plot twists are great.

I played Xenoblade Chronicles on the Wii as well, and it was my favourite RPG of that generation. I loved the open world exploration at the time. It felt so satisfying that you can actually run off a cliff, or jump onto things, rather than have some invisible barrier in your way.
I agree, the sidequests are annoying, but the DE on Switch improves it with markers. I do find the game as too many sidequests, in addition to too many needless items. They went way overboard with the armour, weapons, accessories, etc. But it's still a very fun game. I'm glad to be owning a legit version of the game now instead of needing to download it on the Wii back in the day because of how they messed up the North American release.
Just a quick shoutout to Elliot Quest on the Switch eshop - it’s a great little 2D action-adventure game, like a side scrolling old school Zelda. And it’s on sale for the ridiculous low price of $0.12! You might not even bend over to pick up that much money if your dropped it. So check out this cool game!
