Growing up I've always been a fan of Nintendo handhelds, ever since I got a Game Boy Color to play games like Dragon Warrior I & II, Dragon Warrior III, and Pokemon Crystal. There was just something magical about getting lost in a virtual world on a small screen in the palm of your hands and I always felt as though handheld gaming was an underrated form of play among enthusiast gamers. I also owned a Game Boy Advance SP, Nintendo DSi, and last but not least, the near-perfect 3DS XL (if only the thumbstick was more like the PS Vita). My handheld favorites included games like Metroid Fusion, Golden Sun (the first two "books" and Dark Dawn), Advance Wars, Final Fantasy Tactics Advance, Chrono Trigger, Super Mario 64 DS, Mario Kart DS, Dragon Quest IX, Fire Emblem Awakening, and Mario Kart 7. I even enjoyed Mario & Luigi: Dream Team but to be fair it was the first in the series that I played and while entertaining with colorful graphics it did suffer from being a little too easy. But how could you not marvel at the fact that Nintendo was able to put out a handheld with GameCube quality graphics? Handheld gaming really is amazing if you stop to think about it. And now Nintendo is killing it with the Switch (61 million units sold as of June 2020). I mean, say what you will about the PS4 having lots of great story-driven games with great gramphics and services like PlayStation Now but god dammit I want a Switch Lite now. My body is ready to jump back into the magic of Nintendo handhelds.
Anyway, I have a couple questions:
Anyway, I have a couple questions:
- Turquoise or Yellow?
- What are your personal thoughts on the quality of the Switch Lite and the games it has to offer?
- Should my first Switch game be Mario Kart 8 Deluxe or Super Smash Bros Ultimate? Note: I like both series, although the last SSB game I played was Melee on the GameCube.
- Finally, what are some interesting apps to download from the eShop? Isn't there also a popular one that people use to draw/paint?
- Anything else I should know about the Switch Lite?
