I'm maybe a bit nostalgic but I think the Nintendo Switch from a form-factor standpoint along with the tiny game cartridges is the best console made to date. Of course others are more powerful, etc. and I think Nintendo needs to up it just a little bit (1080p on the Switch screen, etc.) but it's just such a pleasure for me to play.

I also like that some games like Disco Elysium, Neverwinter Nights, etc. - these older PC games which work fine on Switch are being ported over. Happy to pay a little more to get the physical cartridge and play it on the Switch - though paying $55.99 for Skyrim seems a little steep to me so I'll continue playing that on Gamepass.

Waiting for my copy of Tears of the Kingdom to arrive today. In the meantime I'm finishing up Metroid: Dread and enjoying that quite a bit too!

Maybe we are not looking at the same games but the ones I’m looking at are significantly cheaper as cartridge than download (Zelda and Mario, fx)


Sorry I wasn't clear. I was thinking of/comparing to Steam in my head.

I genuinely enjoy the cartridges themselves, the very act of inserting them into the system, they're really cool and nostalgic to me.
