Is it just me, or was this quietly a great year for the Switch in general? I mean, I put in close to two hundred hours into Three Houses alone, and that’s before Astral Chain, Dragon Quest XIS, and Link’s Awakening.

/cheer /cheer! That’s a splendid selection of 2019 classics. Though something feels conspicuously absent above... hmm... can’t quite place my finger on it...

I’m not going to blast people who aren’t into games. You don’t have to like games! They aren’t for everyone.
