4 years of great content and amazing sales. I'm over 250 titles and that says enough for me. The console kicked in this desire to collect for it, and that usually doesn't happen for me as I always wait for a console to be done and become "retro". As for what's next, I hope the cliff is long ways away. So far the Switch has not reached its peak yet.

You seriously gonna keep BotW off that list because it was cross gen?  It launched day and date with the console.  And I thought that nonsense about the whole "smash ultimate is a wiiu port" crap had passed.  It sounds even more twisted now than it did back when it was actually being used seriously.

The Switch has flaws that you could have pointed out that make sense, like the horrible online.  But your post feels like you are trying everything you can to downplay the device.  I mean you are entitled to your opinion like everyone else, but some of the stuff you said is just false.

Switch has grown to become my most liked console. That is because of the amazing library. Switch has phanatastic original games and ports of some of the best games in video game history. Combine that with the power to play the games on TV or on the go as you like - and this is a total winner.

Switch is the perfect first console. You have great games (and it does not matter if they were released elsewhere if you new to gaming). The console allows you to play as it fits into your life, you have not to organize your life to fit playtime into it. So it is perfect for person with family or a live outside of gaming, as it will fit your situation. And as many Nintendo consoles you have the local multiplayer which is great to integrate your family into your hobby.

If it is not your first console it still offers a lot, the point it fitting your life still stands and the library is big enough to find interesting stuff even if you played the classics before. But maybe you want to revisit the classics - then you can.

Well, Switch is excellent and it is no wonder it is selling so well right ot it's fourth birthday. Happy birthday Switch!

I think one's perspective on the Switch depends a lot on what other systems you own.

If you owned a Wii U you already played most of its best first party games, but if like me you skipped PS4/Xbone it can make up for that with ports of games like Doom 2016/Eternal, Hellblade, Witcher 3, both Ori games, etc.

If you already own all three, then it'll be a lot harder for it to impress you, unless portability is something you strongly value or its relatively small library of true exclusives really resonates with you.

Having said that, come on, Breath of the Wild is a Switch game and Smash Bros Ultimate is not a port, let's be real here.

I would give it a 10, but the lack of BT audio, voice chat (built-in) and dreadful NSO pulls it back to a solid 8.

If we were to include the number of PS4 exclusive games rated 90+ you would only get 6 and the PS4 had a whole lifetime so far while the Switch is only half way through. 

Plus even if the games are older they're still high quality experiences with tons of replay that many people didn't get to experience on Switch since they were trapped on Wii U and the fact that the option to play these huge backlog of games on one system is great no matter what way you look at it. Even if you use backwards combability on other console as an argument that these Switch's game library of ports shouldn't be praised more than backwards compatibility on other consoles cause they're older games, the Switch alone has the same amount of 90+ Metascores as the Wii U and Wii combine and completely kills the 2 systems combined when it comes to the shear amount of games with 80+ Metascores.

So if you want to shit on the Switch for using Wii U ports to fill up its library, you might as well shit on every other Nintendo system for far less 80+ Metascore games EVEN WHEN you include the backward compatibility features of the Wii and Wii U and the Switch is only halfway through its lifecycle. Plus these ports have added value with additional content and being able to play console games on the go for the first time portably.

And like I said, your attempt to resort to the "true exclusive" 90+ argument to show that there are barely any exclusive high quality experiences on the Switch is illogical since most other consoles can't even pass 10 games under that criteria and the Switch is only halfway through its lifecycle with close to the amount of PS4 games under that criteria.

Incredible console. I can't wait for a Pro to refresh a little the performance on big games but really it is the best move Nintendo has made since like the DS.
Still waiting for another banger year to make it my favorite console of all time, but it is on it's way to get there. With just the Botw 2, bayo 3 and MP4 titles already announced it will most def get that title.

Big Brain Idea #1: Smash Ultimate is a port of Smash 4.

Big Brain Idea #2: 3D World, Bayo 2, Pikmin 3, Tokyo Mirage Sessions, Captain Toad and All Stars are all new games.

Big Brain Idea #3: Nintendo should go 3rd party.

Big Brain Idea #4: Switch isn't that great of a console because it wasn't a $700 cutting edge portable machine at launch.

Big Brain Idea #5: Poor people are entitled to emulate Switch games on their $800 PC. A Switch is too expensive! They need that money for beer!

9... this made video games great again and the best is yet to come!

I would personally give it a 9.

The hardware has some small problems, like the joycon drift( it is a problem with an easy fix, but really annyoing), and some QOL could also been there, like folders and themed background, but it's games are godlike,And that's why we are all here.
