Yeah I still have mixed feelings about it.
The game droughts were brutal and the hardware was incredibly poorly conceived, but on the flip side, games like BOTW, Mario Kart 8, Tropical Freeze, Mario 3D World, Splatoon, Bayonetta 2, etc were phenomenal, there just weren't enough of them.
I feel like I would have loved it if I was a kid who didn't mind replaying the same games endlessly and didn't have to worry about when the next game was coming, or if I'd picked it up near the end of its life with a ton of games to chase down all at once. (Though Switch 1 kinda made that redundant)
Overall, a badly designed system with some really, really great games.
