I teach at a college where faculty are occasionally required to be on duty in the evenings (until after midnight). I usually use the time to do after-hours tutoring, but tonight I brought my Switch and told the kids we'd take study breaks for mario kart. At first they were lukewarm, but then the Nintendo nostalgia kicked in and the Switch does what it does best - it sold itself.
I'm so blinded by my faith in everything Nintendo does that I often forgot how awesome this thing is. I take it out of the case and set it on the play stand:
>"Dude that thing is ... look at it! It's so sexy!"
>"Bro I've never seen Nintendo graphics this sharp!"
>"Is that the whole system right there? You mean you can play it with no TV or use it on an HDTV?"
>"Wait it comes with two controllers?"
They tried Mario Kart. They played a little bomberman. Fast RMX, 1-2 Switch, pretty much every game I have (wouldn't let them touch my BoTW save though). After I asserted my MK8D dominance they instantly went to Amazon to find one, eager to spend $300 on the spot (these are poor college students, mind you). If only they were available ... oh well. I told them keep checking because they're constantly restocking. Once this thing gets into the dorms it will spread ... not one of them didn't fall in love instantly.
>"This thing is perfect for the dorms! Don't need a tv and it just slips right in your drawer."
>"I can play with anyone, anywhere, anytime. This is like the game boy on steroids!"
I heard all the anti-Nintendo comments from this generation of kids while we talked about the Switch, and one theme kept coming up - they thought Nintendo was done. Wii and Wii U didn't excite them, and they had written the company off completely in favor of XBox and PS. The Switch just brought them all back.
Nintendo really has something special here.

Cant be bothered to read this
Is it a fake shill post, nintendo hate or a real story?
Help me out lads

I think it's a real story that became a copypasta meme.
>>376039882
It reads like textbook fake shilling, But I guess it's real, if embellished.
I played mine in the union the day after launch and normies flocked to me asking me questions. There were several chads too and even two girls, one of which was a sorority chick.

Pathetic. You can feel the butthurt and rage from the new little autistic faggot.

Newfags are just like freshmans in highschool. They try too hard and you can always weed them out from the rest.
