Yeah. I shared a pretty good memory with the Switch. Those first dozen or so hours exploring Breath of the Wild, and having it regularly beat me over the head was very fun. It truly felt like exploring another world, when you'd scale up these flat mountains in the tropics and come face to face with a giant enemy archer who'd one shot you. Good times.

Playing Mario Odyssey and getting to Wooded Kingdom for the first time - having your jaw drop once the theme started kicking in. Damn, that was great! Or when you first go to the Seaside Kingdom and take over a tiny squid to fly up in the air. Pretty damn fun times.

At the same time I do remember a lot of the bad. Xenoblade 2's terrible blur effect and bad resolution. Splatoon 2 locking players out from game modes. Having to still sit at the title screen of the game and hear some annoying announces bug you. Oh, and the disappointment that was Arms. But ultimately, the good definitely outwayed the bad, and it was a pretty damn good year. Hopefully they can get even better.
