You've got a Switch, why would you want to do anything else? You should play more switch games instead, duh!

Other than the Nintendo Switch, not many options out there.

Isn't that what the nintendo switch is doing?

If you want to play games with your friends, get the Switch. If you want your friends to ask "what's that!", get this.

I do wish there was one for the Nintendo Switch.

The Switch is based on Nvidia hardware.

Literally never heard of this before, and the reviews are mixed while price is high. Mario Odyssey and Zelda: BOTW are some of the most amazing games ever conceived. Tons of content and countless hours of fun. I think the safer bet is on the Switch at the moment.
