Ok, the other day I made a comment about YouTubers not leaning into retrospective Switch videos as we wait for the Switch 2. This is exactly the kind of video they could be making instead of chasing worthless leaks every day.
Anyway, biggest surprise of the Switch?
Probably Breath of the Wild and how massive it was running on a handheld. Also, the way that that single game basically Phoenix Downed Nintendo from the depths of their struggles with the Wii U.
By the same token, I would say games like No Man’s Sky and Subnautica for the sheer size and scope of their worlds being brought to life on the system was pretty amazing and have been some of my favorite experiences on the Switch.
Oh, and then there was Labo and Ring Fit.
Labo failed, but the buzz around the reveal was palpable. I found so many great YouTube channels watching everyone’s reaction to the first video. While it may not have been as fun as it looked or whether people didn’t think it would be as fun as it looked, it was still great to see Nintendo leaning into their quirky side once again.
And then there’s Ring Fit. Quirky, wild, positive, and a sales beast. Who knew Nintendo basically had another WiiFit up their sleeves. I’m still wondering if we’ll get a sequel or even a line of games that use the ring peripheral.
