Ring Fit Adventure was another. It made me realize how much I really like surprises. This one just kind of popped out of nowhere. And it must have surprised a lot of people because, while it launched to a relatively low level of sales, it’s now become Switch’s big sleeper hit.
I have to add Animal Crossing: New Horizons to the list. While certain elements of the game had a sandbox approach, they’ve really expanded that in this version of the game. Now it is one of the most successful single platform games in console history - I believe it’s now the fifth highest of all time, only after Wii Sports, Super Mario Bros, Mario Kart Switch, and Mario Kart Wii. That was a massive surprise.
While Breath of the Wild is my favourite game on the console and easily one of the best games of all time, I can’t say this surprised me. I saw this one coming way before we even knew it was going to be a Switch game.
I describe myself as a little dose of toxic masculinity.
