Gush about your system of choice this generation!

I absolutely love the portability of the Switch. I love that I can take it with me to work and get a few games of Rocket League in. I love that I can get to work on a few Shrines in Zelda that I couldn't beat the first time around and really spend some quality time with them in handheld mode. I prefer the TV experience for exploring new areas and for the grandeur of the game, but the smaller levels that I'm basically just having to grind are perfect for quick 10-15 minute sessions at work.

I've booted up the system during parties at my house and not since the Wii days have I seen everyone flock to the system and really enjoy playng it together. From Mario Kart 8 to Smash to Breath of the Wild each person has that wonder that makes gaming in groups a joy. I love how fast the Switch boots up. I love that it remembers what game you were playing and within seconds you're back into it. I know if I've got 5-10 minutes to spare I can get in a full match of Rocket League without waiting for the system to boot up, the game to load, and then bam...there goes my 5-10 minute window.

I love that unlike any other generation I can expect a generation's worth of content for this device. I know that there are games being made now by first and third party developers that will be a joy to play and that there won't be a noticeable drought of content. And this time around the Switch was a promise to not just the blue ocean casual gamers, but to core gamers and the core gamers have returned that promise with epic sales and support. Should we make a Metroid for this audience? Absolutely. What about Animal Crossing? Of course. Should we try some random casual game? Sure, but don't expect that to light up the fanbase. Cater to their core gaming needs and they will purchase your titles in droves.

I love that the Switch is an indie paradise for fan and developer alike. It's almost like we've continued where we left off at the apex of the 16bit generation and continue to mine that creative space to its fullest potential.

I love that we're only two years into the lifespan of this system and already there are standout gems that will stand the test of time. 2019 promises to be exciting and fulfilling game wise and I can only imagine what 2020 has in store for us.

Let's go Nintendo...we're all buckled in for this ride. I'm sure there will be some ups and downs, but I'm also sure that the highs will be epic and the lows will be more tolerable than ever. Even if Nintendo's first party efforts prove less than stellar or few and far between, the indie developers and third part developers will certainly fill those gaps well enough.
