@Wavey84 You seem to think your personal tastes decide what's good or not and it comes off as ridiculously arrogant. Just because you don't enjoy a genre or game type, doesn't make it bad. Stores can't keep the Switch on the shelf and that's been going on since before the pandemic threw a wrench in supply chains. Clearly a lot of people really like the device. If it's not for you, that's fine. Go play something else.

@Anti-Matter Thanks, I'd like that too. Maybe some day...

@Eel dude, I miss probably 90% of your replies because you never seem to tag me. I might look into that subscription, but it's hardly limited to YouTube.

@Wavey84 Well the Switch is extremely successful and it does its thing quite well

I for one do not like all Nintendo exclusives. I only like the Zelda games, Metroid and Pokemon (well not so much after their last games). But I love playing 3rd party ports on the Switch.

The hybrid aspect really made me play some games more than on my PS4 or the Xbox One.

im unhappy with our country. very unhappy. theres other countries that are actually helping their people...

@Wavey84 The Switch has boasted some of the most successful entries in a variety of first/second party series to date. You aren't obligated to like or dislike anything, you are entirely entitled to your own opinions. But that's all they are. The Switch and most of its big hitters have all been commercial successes. Software sells hardware, not the other way around. No one buys a Switch, PS4, or Xbone just for the hardware, with the games being an afterthought. People choose the hardware based on what games they want to play and yes, how they want to play them. The Switch has had, in 3.5 years, at least, 35 "1 million or more copies sold" games and the top 20 of which were Nintendo or a Nintendo partner produced game. With 9 titles selling more than 10 million and as of June, 2 over twenty million. (Probably 3 now, since SSB was at 19.99 million).

The Switch is a resounding success. That's just a fact. If the Switch isn't what you want, well, that's for you to decide. I don't like or want to own a Ford F-150, but I can't deny it's a success, having sold around 40 million units over the last 60 years, apparently just in the US. Whether we like or dislike something doesn't determine if it's a success.

My games collection so far until 31 August 2020.

My PS3 games library grew quickly within 8 months since December 2019.
My PS1 and PSP games grew very slowly.
By numbers:
PS1 = 3
PS2 = 15
PS3 = 18
PS4= 12
PSP = 5

GBA = 2
NDS = 37
3DS = 49
Gamecube = 3
Wii = 27
Wii U = 8
Switch = 41

Total = 218

@MarioLover92 Cool, so I guess I was looking at the right thing. I remember finding it on the Mario Wiki article on Peach. Yeah, while I do like physical for games I like, at least digital is an option when games become to rare and expensive.

@Anti-Matter Your shelf looks good, I have to ask, what games are the two black Switch cases standing out?

@Sunsy
Oh, they are LABO 01 and 03.

@Anti-Matter Oh, ok. I didn't know Labo used different color cases. Thanks for the answer.

@Anti-Matter @HeavyArms55 The US is a mess right now with the pandemic and I’m happy to be in Canada. I hope you can move back to Japan eventually.

@Anti-Matter What would you say is your favourite Switch game? Did you enjoy Labo 3? I have 1 and 4 and they are some of my favourite games on Switch.

@BabyYoshi12
Well...
ACNH is my favorite now. 😀
Already surpassed 440 hours gameplay. 😁
I rarely touched my both LABO 01 and 03, but i prefer 03 than 01 for having clear mission and tasks than 01 that for me was like cardboard toys.

@Sunsy I'm the same way, I generally like having physical copies for games I really like but I'm okay with digital copies as well. I have physical copies for most of the main Super Mario series and all of the Mario Kart series (except for Tour since that's on mobile devices. Never played it either), for example. I originally got Sonic Mania on PC, but when I saw that Sonic Mania Plus was coming out as a physical version, I HAD to get it. Especially since I'm a huge fan of that game! It was also the perfect opportunity for me to have the game on Switch, and it came with a nice little art book too.

@Anti-Matter Ha, I should have known New Horizons was your favourite. It’s a great game, it’s my second most-played Switch game.

My first is SMM2. There’s so much to do in it, I’ve clocked in 225+ hours since the beginning of June.

@BabyYoshi12 @Anti-Matter New Horizons is my most played Switch game too, I clocked in 200+ hours. Such a relaxing game It's perfect for this rather challenging time, as well.

I also put a lot of time into Super Mario Odyssey, Breath of the Wild, Smash Ultimate, and Super Mario Maker 2.

And I am sitting here with my 10 hours in ACNH

It's not the entire country.

I snagged Ring Fit yesterday. I might be dead right now, it's hard to tell. Very fun game.

@Anti-Matter So, what are your three Gamecube games?

As long as we're sharing, mine are:
Mario Sunshine
Luigi's Mansion
Simpsons Hit & Run
Metal Gear Twin Snakes

@Anti-Matter So, what are your three Gamecube games?

As long as we're sharing, mine are:
Mario Sunshine
Luigi's Mansion
Simpsons Hit & Run
Metal Gear Twin Snakes
Twilight Princess
Metroid Prime
Thousand Year Door.

Edit: I've said it elsewhere on NL in the past, but I've purposely avoided playing Mario Sunshine since Switch launch in case the game releases for the Switch.

Guy I just found about that handheld emulation console:

I hope it is features here on NintendoLife as well because I think this one is worth it compared to the others!

@Wavey84 I really like you and your comments, don't know what Anti's talking about.
