Your heart must be made of stone if you\u2019re not hyped about\u00a0<em>Pok\u00e9mon Sword,<\/em>\u00a0<em>Pok\u00e9mon Shield<\/em>,\u00a0<em>Luigi\u2019s Mansion 3<\/em>,\u00a0<em>The Legend of Zelda: Link\u2019s Awakening<\/em>, and\u00a0<em>Animal Crossing: New Horizons.\u00a0<\/em>I can feel hours of my future life disappearing. In a good way. Probably.<\/p>\n<p>There was something else I was happy about at E3: no new Switch announcement. It\u2019s been rumored for a while that Nintendo would launch a smaller or higher spec version of its console, but I was glad to not see it. Is this selfish? Fuck yeah it is, I don\u2019t want to spend my time wishing I had a new, fancy Switch, when my current one is good enough.<\/p>\n<p>Over the past six months or so, the Switch has also improved in a couple of other areas. Even though Netflix still isn\u2019t available (which \u2013 and let\u2019s be honest here \u2013 is a bit shit),\u00a0Nintendo\u2018s console finally has a YouTube app. Which is, well, something.<\/p>\n<p>The indie scene is also thriving on the Switch. Games like\u00a0<em>Dead Cells, Into the Breach, Undertale, Celeste, Baba Is You, Moonlighter,<\/em>\u00a0and <em>The Messenger\u00a0<\/em>(shout out <a href=\"https:\/\/twitter.com\/LovelyHellplace\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">my man Jimmy<\/a> for the info on these) are fantastic and make the console ideal for people who love small studio titles. The fact that you can just play them anywhere \u2013 rather than having to sit in front of a TV like those PS4 or Xbox owning chumps \u2013 makes it easier than ever to explore the indie game world.<\/p>\n<p><iframe loading=\"lazy\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/z3_yA4HTJfs\" width=\"560\" height=\"315\" frameborder=\"0\" allowfullscreen=\"allowfullscreen\"><\/iframe><\/p>\n<p>The Switch\u2019s build-quality has impressed me too. I half expected the device to break, slow down, or the battery to collapse, but I\u2019ve had mine for almost two years and it\u2019s working as smoothly as the day I got it. For a company not known for resilient hardware, the Switch is hella impressive bit of kit.<\/p>\n<p>All-in-all, the console has a huge library of brilliant games (with even more on the way), a thriving indie community, and is just very, very good. Basically, friends, it feels good to be a Switch owner right now. And E3 proved it\u2019s only going to get better.<\/p>\n<p>If you\u2019ve got the hankering for your own Switch,\u00a0<a href=\"https:\/\/www.amazon.com\/Nintendo-Switch-Neon-Red-Blue-Joy\/dp\/B01MUAGZ49\/?tag=tnw88-20\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"nofollow noopener noreferrer\">you can pick one up here<\/a>.
