Re: Talking Point: Nintendo Switch Turns 3: Challenges Await, But What A Ride So Far

Tourer145

I picked up my switch on launch day 3 years ago and played BOTW on my lunch break and have been hooked ever since.

Downloaded a few launch games, I am setsuna, Fast RMX and Shovel Knight.

Played BOTW solid till Disgaea 5 came out in Europe. Then after that dipped into some random genres as the releases picked up steam. Now I can’t possibly keep up.

I love JRPG’s and this console has been a glorious way to play new ones and relive old final fantasy memories from my childhood.

Sold my Xbox one 7 months after launch and haven’t looked back since. I have played more games and managed to squeeze the time in than any other console.

The last time I played this much was at the advent of pc gaming with home built pentium 1/2/3 machines of many descriptions.

I think the next direct will be after animal crossing releases as there are two Nintendo games in March. I’m in no rush with a mega backlog to work through.

3 years on and I am still impressed by how fun and engaging the switch is. Playing Langrisser demo today on train.

I even got my brother one as an engagement gift and will get a lite as my work 15 year anniversary gift. With a potential upgrade to a pro if it ever comes then I will part with my launch day machine to my mum who loves Mario.

This console makes me want to play more games and I love that about it.

COD and fifa at the top is no surprise in the uk market. Really glad to see Yakuza get it’s day in the sun no matter how short lived it may be. GTAV feels like it will never leave the top 10, rock star must be making some serious bank out of that puppy.

Tbh I’m happy that just the evergreen Nintendo titles are in the uk top 10 as this would never happen pre switch days.

Counting down the days till Fire Emblem three houses DLC. 2 weeks today 😃. Have also purchased BOTW, Xenoblade 2 and Mario and Rabbids DLC.

Also highly anticipating the Pokemon DLC.

From a marketing standpoint it is a great way to keep the focus on Nintendo as social media talks about the games as each staggered pack releases. Ergo driving sales.

Catquest 2 as I downloaded the demo and it reminded me how much I loved the first one. So I am having a purrfect time with that.

Also started FFXII this week as got it for Xmas. I’m glad I don’t remember much from my ps2 playthrough in original release so it’s like a fresh new experience.

Considering last years first Nintendo direct we got the Sqenix mega FF drop. Here’s hoping that in this years initial direct we get a release of the Kingdom hearts collection so I can catch up. Have only played the first one on PS2.

Also with a Pokemon direct in the first week of the year followed by a Smash/Fire emblem direct this week fingers crossed we get a Nintendo direct next week to keep up the momentum. But that is just dreaming I guess.

Wow I don’t have a single game in the top 10 of the decade list which does not surprise me even slightly.

I did love FPS back in the day of Quake 1-3 and Unreal Tournament. The only FPS I have brought recently is Doom 1+2. Will get Doom 3 when I get an SD card upgrade as my launch 200gb is almost full.
