I bought a switch during covid, and very quickly realized that nostalgia does not make up for the lack of games that catch my attention. I have more time in games that don’t run well on switch, like Civilization, than I do on Nintendo releases. I got close with Animal Crossing, but after quarantine ended I never picked it up again xD
Definitely going to pick up a steam deck as my next big gaming purchase, because I really liked the portability of the switch.
See, I never understood Animal Crossing. I had it on the Game Cube. “I know, let’s take an RPG, remove everything interesting to do, and just leave an inventory system, massive debt, and fishing.”
I would not compare it to an RPG. I’d say it’s more akin to Sims perhaps. The appeal is the coziness, discovering the variety of villagers, customizing your island, designing your home.
