These past two months are the first two months in many years where I haven’t been super fixated on awaiting an upcoming Direct, and I must say, it has been extremely refreshing. It’s no longer as though Nintendo is constantly weaving between “Everything is good” and “Everything is bad! We need a Direct NOW! It’s February/June/September”, but rather, “Hmm I wonder what game I’ll play this weekend.”

I have such a backlog of games on multiple platforms that I will never ever run out of things to play. 

And for people who have Switch 2 and have run out of things to play in terms of backwards compatibility and native games they must be super picky or only be interested in full price games that they might not be able to afford right now. 

There's this guy on YouTube with the username of TheBitBlock who would complain about Wii U ports on Switch (because he had most of them on Wii U) and games like Fire Emblem and Xenoblade he didn't care about. And then he would say he didn't care about most third-party games unless they "felt Nintendo". He must only get 2-4 new games a year to play at most. That's really picky. 

@bold: I feel the exact same way. When I see video game enthusiasts complain about a lack of interesting games to play, my brain short-circuits a little bit. I'm half kidding when I say this, but I wish studios would release fewer games, so I have a fighting chance to catch up
