As a millenial devs with kids, the switch is really the only reason I game for what you mentioned. Quick, easy and convenient. Also, my son is of the age of playing video games (7) and the switch just has good games to play two player with him on. (Time honored tradition of kicking the kids butt in Mario Kart).
- lotsofpulp 3y agoMy main concern with games is avoiding the gambling. My kids are not old enough to video game on a console yet, so they just play some educational iOS game or maybe some from Apple Arcade. I used to play games on Xbox like Modern Warfare 2 and Halo, but I lost all interest many years ago. The games got too complicated, and as I understand, now you have to pay for more and more add ons. It all seems very complicated.
- tcmart14 3y agoOh yea, that is another thing I enjoy about the Nintendo ecosystem. I have co-workers who are single and still game a lot and the whole paying for add-ons to be competitive, or to get a feeling of completeness about a game and what not is something I really enjoy about the Nintendo ecosystem. Sure Nintendo games can have DLCs, but I've not met one yet where I felt like the DLCs were required to make the game feel complete or to be competitive (like map packs on Call of Duty). You can play BoTW without the DLC and still have a really good time, also really re-playable. Edit: Sure, Map packs weren't required. But it was shitty when all your friends had the map packs and wanted to play the new maps online and you didn't have them. But yea, I really hate the gambling aspects some of the big AAA studios have adopted.
