Thanks man. I honestly had no idea. I'm not a gamer. The reason I like the Switch is because it offers some fun cartoonish sort of games. Nothing serious. I can barely beat my wife in Super Smash Bros Ultimate! :D I like MarioKart and Rocket League (I suck at it too). I'd probably be more interested in running Linux on the Switch! It will probably brick it. hahaha.. I reckon I'm part of a very small segment of "gamers", even for Nintendo!

Actually, you're the target group. The Wii-WiiU-Switch are all based on "hey, that looks neat, let's try it" with a massive number of games designed for the casual crowd. People like you aren't vocal in gaming communities or anything but boy do you buy games. The disconnect becomes obvious in cases like Pokemon Sword/Shield where the community was OUTRAGED about a number of things (some complaints valid, some less so), threatening boycott... then the game comes out and sells millions in the first day. Do you realize that most people don't go to r/switch, r/nintendo or r/pokemon daily? Who knew! You should try Zelda: Breath of the Wild or Mario vs Rabbids: Kingdom Battle, they're single player games and a lot of fun.

  That is true. I have bought several games and I don't even play that much. I don't know much about Pokemon. I read somewhere that when the Switch first came out it was just a Zelda machine. I've seen my colleagues play it at work. It looks great. I'll give it go then. I've been mostly playing Asphalt 9 recently. Although I don't play much games, I like to read about them for some weird reason. I was browsing the eShop today and saw Crysis listed there. Isn't that notorious for being very heavy on computing resources? I wonder how that'd run on a portable device like Switch.
