I got it in July that year with a workplace discount and started with Breath of the Wild. I enjoyed my Wii U but was concerned that the Switch could be a repeat when it was first unveiled.
Switch has become one of my top game platforms of all-time. If I didn't have a PS4 and PS5, there would be dozens more third-party games I would've played on Switch (Persona, Lego Star Wars: The Skywalker Saga, TMNT: Shredder's Revenge, etc.).
Even when you exclude Wii U ports, the Switch first-party line-up is probably the best of any game platform. Two 3D Zeldas, Super Mario Odyssey, Super Smash Bros. Ultimate, Animal Crossing, Fire Emblem, and so on.
I won't be all sunshine and rainbows here. Switch's online infrastructure is weak despite the fact that Nintendo has the resources to bring it up to par. JoyCon Drift is an epidemic. That needs to be fixed on the next system and should've been fixed by now.
Nintendo should make the next system iterative. They have a megahit with Switch and it's not time to go back to the drawing board.
