It sure has been a rollercoaster.
Before it launched, I expected another Wii U type flop, and I held off on buying one until it had proven itself, not wanting to buy another system that gets like 3-4 worthwhile games per year.
Obviously these low expectations were blown out of the water by Switch's thunderous 2017, and I bought one in September. The next several months were a warm delirious blur of awesome as I scarfed down Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, Doom, Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle, and Xenoblade 2. It seemed on track to perhaps topple the Wii to become my all-time second favourite system.
Then came 2018. Horrible, torturous 2018, where Wolfenstein II was the only title all year worth buying and my Switch spent 11.5 months of the year collecting dust. From such lofty heights, the fall was agonizing, and I felt like I was back in the Wii U days again. I started to wonder if I'd been fooled by a stacked first year into buying another disappointing console.
Thankfully, the bad times weren't to last, and 2019 is shaping up to be a magnificent redemption for the system. I look forward to its future with immense enthusiasm; maybe it will surpass the Wii after all.
