    First party Nintendo games maintain value forever. This is not exclusive to the switch.

    None of the first party games are slow or laggy.

    Online is nothing special. Splatoon 3 plays great, though.

    First party games and indie games are the only great reasons to own a switch and if you stick to those guns, most everything you said doesn’t hold water.

        Pokemon is second-party, the publisher (Nintendo) owns part of the IP but they don’t own the developer (Gamefreak).

          Yeah, you’re technically right, but everyone just fully associates Pokémon with Nintendo.

      Links Awakening runs like ass most of the time. I’d consider it’s performance pretty poor for a first party title. Generally though you’re right.

        Ok, I concede to LA. One out of how many games, then?

        Most of the time? Doesn’t it mainly lag when moving to a different region? It also looks really good.
