There were a lot of Pachinko games (Casino slot games) even during PS2 and PS3 era.
And the games was rated CERO A in Japan (Everyone).
How was the culture changed during the time.
Gambling is hard enough to avoid (once it sucks you into its trap) when it's your own money. How much more then when it's your parent's money and you have no concept of hard work or stored value from labor.
You know what? It's 7 days til June. And you know what happens in June? I'll tell you. Lots of things.
Not one, not two, but three big exclusive Switch games in the month of June.
Mario Strikers Battle League
Fire Emblem Warriors Three Hopes
Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak
And lots of multiplats, too. Demon Slayer, Touken Ranbu Warriors, Capcom Fighting Collection, AI Somnium Files sequel, Klonoa and Sonic Collections (or maybe that's July? I can't keep track, there's too many).
But the big 3. That's what's up. Freaking 3 big exclusives in a single month with half a dozen other games as a cherry on top. Yes sir. June is a month to behold.

Yongyea, I can't believe people still watch that guy. He reads news articles while rambling long enough to get past the ten-minute mark—garbage content.
@Solaine
It's a Switch console exclusive. Not releasing on PS4, PS5, Xbox One or Xbox Series S/X.

Next week will have the first ever F-Zero related Switch profile icon, namely a background for MK8's Mute City. They're going from left to right in the cup selection screen and after Special Cup is Egg Cup.
@Yoshi2
Nobody can ever predict with 100% certainty whether you'll like a game. So that risk is always there.
But what I can say, is that Zelda Breath of the Wild is objectively one of the highest rated games of all time, it's one of my personal favorites, and the gameplay cadence is nothing like Skyrim. Barring a few very general parallels they couldn't be more different.
Will you like it? I don't know. All we can do is infer probabilities- what is the likelihood you'll like it? The vast majority of people who have played it say its one of the greatest games ever made. And even of the ones who don't, most of them would at least concede it's still a great game and definitely worth buying. So there's a very, very high probability you will not regret it.

@Yoshi2 Before the Switch, the last console I had as a PS2. I got the Switch because I had to have Mario Kart 8. Mario Odyssey & Breath of the Wild are basically revolutionary, setting new benchmarks for their series. Like JaxonH said, BOTW was one of the most highly reviewed games in a long time. The world in BOTW is surreal, the game's structure is revolutionary in some ways. The odds that you'll like it don't get any better. Although, since this is the internet, there will always be people in here that have negative things to say about it, but it's sales & consistently high review scores speak for themselves. It was also game of the year.
So, since I got the Switch, here are the games that I didn't anticipate liking, but became my new favorite games. Breath of the Wild Mario Odyssey Splatoon 2(don't let the kid-friendly art style fool you, it's an epic shooter. I almost passed on this game because it looked too family friendly to me, but my friend insisted that I really should try it. I'm very glad he insisted.) Rocket League
@Yoshi2 I forgot to say, between the last week of May, and mid June, there will likely be sales on Nintendo titles. This sale used to happen around E3 in the first half of June, but even without E3 in the previous two years, there have still been big sales during this period. Usually, the most Nintendo discounts their flagship games is 33-20%.
edt: In fact, in the US here, BOTW(physical) is on sale for 33% off right now at some retailers. Sometimes some regions start their sales on different days or following weeks. (at least, that's what I've seen for North America & UK/EU.)
I still really dislike that eshop preorders don't automatically take funds when you preorder anymore. I look at my eshop credit and then suddenly remember I need to make sure there's still at least £35.99 present or otherwise I'm not getting MH Rise Sunbreak. I much prefer the approach Xbox has where if you preorder anything using Xbox Gift Card funds then the funds are taken straight away meanwhile if you use something like a credit card then the funds are taken around 10 days before launch.
@Grumblevolcano I think it's because of some pre-order rules in certain countries.
Now they charge/begin downloading a week in advance.
Might be because Nintendo doesn't do chargebacks, so if you pre-order ahead of time you are able to cancel the purchase if you should change your mind.
For anyone looking to dive into Monster Hunter when Sunbreak releases, the base game is on sale for $29.99 on Amazon right now. With just enough time to get through it before Sunbreak releases June 30th

I started playing Crash Bandicoot N'sane Trilogy, and I'm putting it in my backlog for now mainly because I'm finding it very hard (I'm still on world 1). The is great. just not what I want to play right now.
But I'm still loving Okami! I love that whole world and its characters.
@Yoshi2 It's a singular experience that can be really wonderous to explore. There are plenty of voices on the internet who'll tell you that it's terrible or OK but "not Zelda". That's the internet - most people who play BoTW do love it.
N64 games were always a bit ropey around the edges (even at the time) but they were cutting edge graphically - especially for multiplayer. It's hard to go back to - though the arcade style games like Star Fox 64, F-Zero X and Wave Race 64 are still great fun.
The Gamecube on the other hand has some amazing & very "Nintendo" games that you might never have played. Hopefully Wind Waker HD comes to Switch soon - it's still a series highlight especially after its nip & tuck for Wii U - and Paper Mario TTYD is also a top, top tier game. It's a scandal that they've not re-released that one in 20 years.
