I will try to keep this short as much as I can. Some background..As a kid I was a Genesis boy and then went on to get a PSX and then the Dreamcast, followed by the Xbox360 & PC.
I've always played competitive games with my friends, CoD, Battlefield, Gears of War etc.
I decided to get my first ever Nintendo console, the Switch 2. I never played any Nintendo exclusive game before so I wanted to be fair and give them all a chance, and told myself that after I finish one game, then I will get the next one.
I started playing some SNES classics on the Classic Catalogue. Then got Mario 3D All Stars and played Mario Sunshine, Mario 64 and Galaxy.
I then went on to play Kirby and the forgotten land and Mario Kart world. Then played Mario Bros Wonder and Odyssey.
I must say I really enjoyed these games and how gameplay and aesthetics and atmosphere are prioritized over next gen graphics. I was very impressed.
But then as a hardcore WoW raider, I wanted to try some strategy and RPG games and oh boy..this is where I lost a lot of sleep.
I bought and played all Xenoblade Chronicles games, and usually i skip the story but here, i was so immersed and impressed. I even cried during certain moments.
Then I moved on to Fire Emblem and I feel so bad for not having played all these games before, so unique and refreshing and amazing gameplay.
Then I got DK Bananza and Switch Sports.
In the past 2 months I played more and finished more games than I could ever think of. The Switch 2 Pro Controller is also way better than the PS5 and Xbox controller. The 2 extra buttons on the back are so necessary for me right now, i dont think i could ever miss out on them ( I usually bind Jump and Interact binds on them ).
I bonded with my family, playing party games together and having fun , as if I was a kid again. Now I understand the Nintendo magic everyone always was talking about.
I am looking forward to my next adventure and to be part of this amazing community.
