As I shipped off my Nintendo Switch to an eBay buyer in 2018, I swore that was it. My brief attempt to re-enter the world of video games had ended with a whimper. When the ads for the Switch first came out, I was taken with the hybrid design and the clever marketing shots of young professionals loving the console whilst catching flights or coming home to their swanky apartments. I hadn't gamed since I put down my N64 controller in 2001. But suddenly I was tempted to give it a try again.
Long story short, it didn't work out. I'd enjoyed Mario Kart for all of five minutes before getting bored, and been completely turned off by Zelda with its lotions and potions and recipes. I just wasn't cut out to be a gamer anymore.
