I’m so far behind on my backlog is that I’m probably ignoring the next 1.5 years, aside from BotW2, unless something remarkable comes out. If they surprise drop Super Mario Galaxy 3, or a port of an old favourite like Xenogears, Chrono Trigger, or Final Fantasy 6, only then will I break my personal new game fast (not including gifts).

This has kind of happened before, it took me the fullPS2 generation to get through all of the SNES/PSX/Dreamcast RPGs I wanted to play. I was still playing Wii games until about the day before Switch came out.

Switch is the most dangerous because no console has had this velocity of games I want to play. The total number might be less than the Wii/DS generation, but a lot of the Switch games are 100+ hours, having a 20+ hour game was rare before the DS/Wii era, and having a 50+ hour game was rare before the Switch (if you don’t count PS3/4 and Wii U, which I don’t since I barely played those consoles).

Yeah, I feel the same way.  There are so many games that I want to play on the Switch and so little time.  COVID did help somewhat with my backlog, but not enough.  And I'm starting to be very hesitant to start a new RPG game, because they are so long nowadays.
