Re: 5 Years On, The Games Media Remembers Its First Impressions Of Nintendo Switch

Steviecomebacks

I was fortunate enough to have been invited to the Switch premiere in NYC. I brought a friend with me. I played SF2, Bomberman, Mario Kart, Sonic, Splatoon 2, ARMs and 1, 2 Switch. I purposely didn't play BoTW because I wanted that to be a completely fresh experience when I got the game and system.

Anyway, I cam away from the event completely positive but knew I would be a pro controller only player and the joycons never felt right. My buddy on the other hand was nitpicking every little thing he could about the system and the games he played. He's now a Switch lover and I always remind him of his negative reaction five years ago.
