Are people forgetting that the 3DS was a success too?

As a mom with no console gaming background, the reason I chose the Switch for my kids was being able to tell them to take it to their room when I needed some peace and quiet.

That's the thing with Nintendo it was never about graphics but about actual fun games

Why do big media channels always find a way to spin Nintendo's insane success into something more negative? So weird.

When Switch was introduced, I was quickly to brush it off. Its a tablet, won't sustain or be worthwhile. Then I bought it last year, and I immediately realized I was so wrong. No other game company has taken risks and stuck to their core, and always returned back stronger.

Glad Nintendo is still here despite their ups and down in their 30 plus years of them in the game industry. I can't imagine a gaming world without Nintendo. No Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing, Smash etc. That would be a lesser world indeed.

I can attest to this. I, like many others during quarantine, suddenly got the urge to get a Switch. It took me a few weeks but I finally got one!

the switch and its pro controller both adopted USB-C, if it hadnt i wouldnt call it a lifestyle console. i can charge my phone, laptop, headphones, and even my gaming console and its controller, all with my 1 phone charger. theres no inconvience taking it with me anywhere i go.
