Game releases are always big days for the gaming community. When people can, they enjoy staying up all night long and waiting in line overnight to become the first to get their hands on the flashy new toy. The launch of the Switch 2 has been no different.
Gamers flocked to stores over 12 hours before the launch of the system and had overnight parties in stores waiting for the chime of the bell signaling the official release of the latest addition to the history of gaming consoles.
Not everyone may believe that this latest release is an actual improvement, but sometimes we set our expectations too high and fail to realize where we started and just how far we have come.
I unfortunately have not gotten my hands on this latest system just yet, but I hope to someday.
Have you gotten one for yourself?
