Is Nintendo Switching It Up?

With the Nintendo Switch finally out, people couldn't seem to wait to get their hands on it. Already, it is completely out of stock everywhere, even Amazon. Will it be a hit? Some say yes, while others say no. Some people speculate that the Switch will replace all DSs, as it is a console that can be both hand-held and an actual console, like the PS4. There is a lot you can review about the Nintendo Switch, but in this article, I'd like to talk about my opinion of some of their confirmed games.

1. 1-2-Switch

This is a small party game, where several players can play an assortment of mini-games together, with the use of the system's Joy-Con controllers.

In the beginning, everyone will enjoy the games they can play with their group of friends of their families. However, it is not something that looks like it will be sticking around long term. It is a good use of a first couple hours, but the appeal dies down. If the Switch continues being successful, it is likely that these little mini games won't be much touched in the future.

2. Arms

Another multiplayer game, however it is a fighting type game, with only a two player function. Players will be able to combat each other in an arena with their extendable arms.

This game will probably last in popularity longer than the 1-2-Switch will. The Smash Bros vibe it gives off will help it live in popularity for a while longer, but it will also die out eventually, as more fighting type games get introduced.

3. Fast RMX

A racing game with a hint of futuristic, as you are able to defy gravity with your hovercraft.

Racing games will always stick around in popularity, but ONLY for those who really enjoy the racing aspect. The futuristic aspect is something that will make it slightly more interesting to those who aren't too crazy about racing games.

4. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild

The latest game of the critically acclaimed long running Zelda series. A massive open world that differs greatly in quality from the other Zelda games.

Of course, probably one of the most famous games the Nintendo Switch will have. Will be forever loved.

5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe

A slightly enhanced version of any Mario Kart game.
See number 3 above. Will only stay popular because it's Mario Kart.

6. Shovel Knight: Specter of Torment

An expansion for the Shovel Knight. Also not something that will keep it's popularity very long, as people are bound to lose interest.

7. Snipperclips: Cut It Out Together

Another multiplayer game. A puzzle game for two people to use a snipping mechanic to solve shape and physics-based puzzles.

It will capture a lot more interest than the 1-2-Switch, as it has a more challenging aspect to it. Being able to play it with another person will make it a lot more fun.

8. Splatoon 2

A team based shooting game, similar to paintball.

This game will be popular for a decent amount of time. It is team based, shooter, colorful, and has different maps. Friend groups will enjoy it.

9. Super Mario Odyssey

Open-ended world exploration for Mario.

I think it is going to be a hit, very similarly to Zelda. It's the Mario people already love, but also with an open world adventure. There will be a lot of activities that can be done.

10. Xenoblade Chronicles 2

A sequel to the critically acclaimed open world RPG.

It will also be very much enjoyed, similarly to Zelda and Super Mario Odyssey. It is a sequel, so it already has a fan base, and something that is an open world RPG is bound to attract a lot of people.

I've been super busy lately with school work, studying, etc. Besides the fact that I do nothing but AP chemistry and AP economics, I constantly think of stupid questions that are almost impossible to answer. So, maybe you could answer them for me, and if not then we can both wonder what the answers to these 15 questions could be.

I don't think I say it enough...

To My Loving Boyfriend,

  • Thank you for all that you do for me
  • Thank you for working through disagreements with me
  • Thank you for always supporting me
  • I appreciate you more than words can express
  • You have helped me grow and become a better person
  • I can't wait to see where life takes us next
  • I promise to cherish every moment with you
  • Thank you for being my best friend and confidante
  • I love you and everything you do

To start off, here's something I don't say nearly enough: thank you. Thank you, thank you, thank you from the bottom of my heart. You do so much for me that I can't even put into words how much I appreciate everything you do - and have done - for me over the course of our relationship so far. While every couple has their fair share of tiffs and disagreements, thank you for getting through all of them with me and making us a better couple at the other end. With any argument, we don't just throw in the towel and say we're done, but we work towards a solution that puts us in a greater place each day. Thank you for always working with me and never giving up on us.

Because no one ever really leaves.

Ah, yes, good old Hauppauge. We are that town in the dead center of Long Island that barely anyone knows how to pronounce unless they're from the town itself or live in a nearby area. Hauppauge is home to people of all kinds. We always have new families joining the community but honestly, the majority of the town is filled with people who never leave (high school alumni) and elders who have raised their kids here. Around the town, there are some just some landmarks and places that only the people of Hauppauge will ever understand the importance or even the annoyance of.
