Nintendo Switch: 8 Major Positives Nobody Is Talking About

3. Staggered Release Schedule Suits Your Budget

Another controversial fact of life around the Switch is that there are only one or two 'major released games' every month. Now, this scarcity of ‘huge games’ could be an issue if Nintendo wanted to compete with PS4 and Xbox One, but I feel they're happy letting the two 'big dogs' ravage each other while they continue doing something else entirely.

As let's be honest, you're only ever playing through two - maybe three - at the most, games at once. This whole notion of "Where are all the GAMES?!" for the Switch doesn't hold water, because if there was the equivalent of even a couple of Zelda-quality games, you'd be forever dividing time between them.

If all of Nintendo's staggered marketing is intentional, you've got Zelda, Fast RMX, Shovel Knight and more out now, more indies coming very soon, Mario Kart in April, ARMS in Spring, Splatoon 2 in Summer, Super Mario Odyssey after, and so on.

I'd wager 'one game a month' fits your budget perfectly, allows you to make the most of - and complete - what you previously bought, and slowly builds a library of games you actually appreciate, rather than just collect for the sake of it.

Because when the opposite happens (like we've seen in 2017), there's Horizon Zero Dawn, For Honor, Nioh, Sniper Elite 4, Halo Wars 2 and Ghost Recon: Wildlands, ALL coming within a few weeks of one another.

Did you keep up with that, or did it seem overwhelming?

Exactly.
