I was ambivalent about the2017 announcement.
Given that it seems to be indevelopment hell, I haven’t paid it much mind.
A little sneakin' goes a long way.
But just because I loved it doesnt mean I finished it.
Games Are Wasted On The Young
Playing video games as a kid means getting stuck.
At least, that was my experience.
The thing is, internet guides have existed for the entire time I’ve been playing games.
I was born in 1994, and GameFAQs launched in 1995.
There has never been a time when I could not go to the computer and look something up.
The internet was just less ubiquitous at the time.
I didn’t have a smartphone with ready online access until I was in college.
For a long time, this felt shameful.
Why wasn’t I gud enough to figure these games out?
So, what makes the Switch such a motivator?
Well, it gets a lot of older games, either through ports or Nintendo Switch Online.
But more importantly, playing a game on Switch makes it feel a little less important.
If you’re going to dominate the space, you better mean it.
On the Switch, though, it isn’t that serious.
I can play Switch games while someone else bears the great responsibility of the TV’s great power.
That makes it a great way to check in on old friends, and finally say goodbye.
The Switch’s biggest hit is a Wii U game.
