    The Nintendo Switch is shaping up to be the worst console for me. All it has are Indie games, ports with worse graphics and Wii U ports that they are selling for the full price again.

    Let's just compare it to the Wii U real quick, okay? Sure, the Wii U was a dumpster fire, but consider this: it had free online. It was much more feature-complete than the Switch ever will be (advanced statistics, chat, Internet browser, a way to contact your friends, even an online community), it had a MUCH better Wifi card (the one on Switch is absolute garbage) and a controller that was very sturdy. You surely heard about the Joy-Cons drifting and all that? Seems like Nintendo doesn't care about their hardware anymore.

    For someone who doesn't use the Switch as a mobile console, it is practically useless. The only game that I really like is Mario Odyssey. Maybe add Pokémon Sword & Shield to the list too, despite the drawbacks (maybe it didn't bother me as much since this was my first Pokémon playthrough). That's it though. Definitely not worth the price.

    Gone are the days where we would get a new, GREAT Mario Party experience every 1.5 years. Gone are the days of fun multiplayer titles, like Mario Golf, Mario Strikers, Mario Baseball, Fortune Street. Gone are the days of great Mario RPGs, such as the Mario & Luigi series. Don't even get me started on Paper Mario, that franchise is fucking dead. Even when paying for online multiplayer, Nintendo still fails at absolutely everything related to online gaming.

    The saddest part about it? Nintendo is making more money than ever before.

      Editing … ffuuuuck, every time I want to buy a Switch, I just remember--I have to pay for online. Interest plummets to zero in an instant.

      Editing … Yea, it seems like the mobility of the console is the only useful feature.

      Editing … Pokemon Shield is a 270+ hour game for me, so the system is holding up well in my book. I have Mario Odyssey but haven't started it yet.

      Editing … Nice! Gonna finish Xenoblade now? Speaking of which, I have XC2 on the Switch but haven't started that either. I plan to start either Mario Odyssey or XC2 today.

      Editing … okay, well I tried XC2 and didn't like it. Kinda curious about XC1 now on 3DS, if the game is bad then at least I'd be playing it in low tech which would might make it more fun for me. Or maybe XC1 is just a better game in general compared to XC2?

      Editing … By all accounts, XC1 is vastly superior. But I dunno, I've never played either.

      Editing … The characters fight on their own and you basically just watch. =/ What's funny is how much the concept reminds me of Final Fantasy 12, but that game did it better. When I imagine XC2 without normal attacks (as in, the ones the characters do regardless, without your input) which is what the game probably should have been, then that's basically what FF12 is. It's more interactive.

      Editing … Well I've now spent over a grand on eshop purchases according to Dekudeals and own 62 games total but I've pretty much found nothing good aside from Odyssey and Pokemon. Maybe it's time I calm down on the eshop purchases and just settle for my Lite being a Pokemon/Odyssey player. (which makes it actually not bad at all) Though old habits die hard, and I'm still considering picking up Assassin's Creed Rebel Collection currently on sale. I've never played a proper console AC title, so I at least have that excuse. It'll be something I can cross off my list even if I end up not really liking the game.

      Editing … Hmm, Black Flag and Rogue. Those are often called the best or the worst in the series, depending on who you ask. Might be a fun risk to start with those :p
