It's still amazing to me that the richest company in Japan keeps its consumers so in the dark. But I guess that's why they do it. They can sit on a mountain of money and continue adding to the pile in most circumstances.
Switch's 2017, while not near-perfect like some claim, was still fantastic. And that is even when you count only the calendar year of 2017 from March 3 to December 31. No year since has matched, but 2019 came closer than any so far. Apparently, COVID-19 has not impacted Nintendo software development. If that's true, I can't believe 2020 is like this so far. 2021 better be a fantastic year for the Switch in terms of hardware availability, first-party games, and third-party games.
