I'm hoping the Switch release of Dragon Quest XI isn't too far off, but I doubt it'll be this year.
I played the Octopath demo, but never got around to buying it. I played Breath of the Wild twice and Mario Odyssey and Kingdom battle but have barely touched the device since the beginning of the year.
I would have happily played Shenmue 1 & 2 HD on Switch. I'll probably eventually get Bayonetta 2, Valkyria Chronicles 4 and Dark Souls on it, but I really wish there were more new games available.
The first generation? I played the earliest pong machines and a few of the earliest consoles (Magnavox Odyssey, home Pong). My aunt & uncle owned an arcade from '79-'82 and I was playing a friend's Atari 2600 by at least '81. I also knew kids with Intellivision, ColecoVision and Vectrex. I survived the crash in '83 & first played NES in '86 where FF & Dragon Warrior were my first RPGs. I played games on DOS and Mac in the late '80s. Played Street Fighter II, MK & Virtua Fighter in arcades in the early '90s. I had a Genesis and an SNES in college and I got an N64 in maybe '97. Played Doom, Quake, Duke Nukem & Carmageddon on a LAN at my first job out of school. I skipped the PSX, but played most of its best games on a PS2 I bought around '03. I came late to the Half-Lifes, Thiefs & Deus Ex but they became some of my favorites and I still play them today.
I watched it religiously when it was first on and rented it on DVD a couple of years later. I've had been meaning to go through it again when I noticed it was on HULU to see if it still held up, but I canceled my subscription last year so I never got around to it.
My only real complaint about the series was that I thought Dutch was one of the best characters in the first few seasons but got sidelined as the strike team's interpersonal conflicts got more and more complicated.
