How is your purchase holding up?
I’ve been thinking some about how the Switch 2 has been, by most accounts, successful for Nintendo. It’s been eight months and change since it hit stores in the US, and surely plenty of people have been enjoying their DK’s and their Metroids, and a lot of back-catalog from the Switch 1 library.
