They must know what they're doing...
Nintendo pays some very smart people a lot of money to promote its products, and it knows how to 'play' the internet and get our attention in the wrong ways.

"It was the first time he was able to experience a Nintendo game"

Soapbox Think of 1-2-Switch as Less of a "Video Game" and Suddenly It Gets Better
Bear with me
1-2-Switch is one of those titles that many fans have lashed out towards for being 'too casual' or for simply not having enough substance.
