It's hard to recommend if we don't know what genre of games you like. If I love fighting games and you can't stand them, all of my suggestions would be useless to you.
I remember Ultra Street Fighter II is on the Switch. That's a consideration.
Unless you like to do motion controlled Hadokens in only one mode, I would say it isn't. You're better off going to the Street Fighter 30th Anniversary Collection [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/street-fighter-30th-anniversary-collection-switch] as you get 12 different games with four of them being able to be played online.
Personally, I separate games into 3 categories: Time-Sink Games, Time-Waste Games, and Hybrids.
Sink games, I want to go through the story or live the character and have the experience. Time-Waste is the busy work that you do while you're waiting for your plane to load. Hybrids are of course a mixture.
Before I go on, I should say what kind of gamer I am. My Five favorite Genres of games are Fighting Games, Light Gun Games, Action Rpg (Both Dungeon Crawlers and Action hybrids like God of War), Puzzle Games, and Racing. I like grinding as I like getting better. And I like games where my actual skill is what wins the day. Not that my character went through several text boxes and RNG tallies to see that I'm the strongest person ever.
Time-Sink Games
Dark Souls Remastered [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/dark-souls-remastered-switch] (aRPG): It's reputation proceeds it, right?
Splatoon 2 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/splatoon-2-switch] (Third Person Shooter): It's just fun. The different tweaks to the guns and grinding to get them actually does make a difference, and there's a weapon for your play style. And who doesn't like looking Fresh to Death?
Okami [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/okami-hd-switch] (Action RPG): If you liked Zelda: BoTW, this is something similar enough to please you.
Diablo 3 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/diablo-3-switch] (aRPG): It's just simply well done. I get my gear, I must get better, so I grind into the night.
... That sounded dirtier than I wanted.
Time-Waste Games
Overcooked 1 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/overcooked-special-edition-switch] and 2 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/overcooked-2-switch] (Puzzle-Action): You have to prepare meals against the clock with various kitchens and their eccentricities. It's way more fun than it sounds.
Western 1849 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/western-1849-reloaded-switch] (Light Gun): You get three nodes you station at while picking off baddies. It's limited, but in truth most light gun games are.
Lumines [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/lumines-remastered-switch] (Puzzle) Musical Block clearing. A lot of your fun will depend if you like the music. I suggest looking at some youtubes to see if there's enough songs you might like. This [https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=gTHHaVy81EE] is a personal favorite.
Hybrids
DragonBall Xenoverse 2 [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/dragon-ball-xenoverse-2-switch] (... Fighting? Action?): I love this game because it satisfies my grind itch. I can go for an hour or two, or I can do a few quick practice matches.
The World Ends With You [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/the-world-ends-with-you-final-remix-switch] (Action Hybrid RPG): Fair warning, the 3ds is still the best method of playing this game. But I love it. I love the story. I love the world. I even love the main character, which is weird for me. The motion controls does as best as it can do. It's inventive. But I still much rather play the 3ds control scheme. But that doesn't stop it from being a fun game with random encounters. You can go through the story or take some fights here and there.
Hyrule Warriors [https://www.nintendo.com/games/detail/hyrule-warriors-switch] (Musou): Sometimes... you just got to beat up a hell of a lot of people in a short period of time. Hyrule Warriors got you.
