  • Excited for the Nintendo Switch

    Recently Nintendo has started the release of the new Nintendo Switch game console, which I was talking about since October. Now the reactions have been kind of mixed. Some people are absolutely upset with Nintendo's new release, however Nintendo does know what they are doing. When the Nintendo 2Ds was released over 3 years ago, I thought it was one of Nintendo's biggest mistakes. I didn't know the use of releasing a cheaper and less efficient game console at the time for slightly less. Now times are changing. What I believe Nintendo will do with the Switch is fix all the problems they had with the Wii U. In my opinion the Switch is kind of like a Wii U 2.0, and will really be a much better game console than the gimmicky 3Ds in terms of performance. What do you think, are you excited for the release of the Switch?
