Flawed indeed, but extremely overhated in my opinion

While it is true that the console's concept was always odd and that the long game droughts combined with everything related to its marketing and some of its soulless, bizarre, experimental titles were truly terrible, that doesn't change the fact that it also had some amazing games like some people had mentioned already, and that the console itself possesses a certain charm and uniqueness... for me at least.

Personally, I always liked the GamePad concept, even despite its flaws regarding battery life, range, and so on. In fact to this day I stand by my view that the Gamepad is more comfortable to use than the Joy-Cons (especially Switch 1 Joy-Cons); interestingly, my original 2012 GamePad is still working perfectly, whereas I’ve already had to replace my Joy-Cons twice.

In summary I can understand the disappointment or the apathy many people feel, in fact, I agree with some of the criticisms. But personally, I don't regret buying mine; I still have it with me, it works very well, and I have no intention of selling it in the future.
