Nintendo lost my interest. I stopped playing the Switch 1 back a couple years ago. I still have it... but I no longer feel like it will even work later, so I should sell it and any games I have.

I've lost every penny on any download only titles. The physical carts are the only ones GameStop will by for pennies.

Too bad, as I loved playing Mario multi-player with friends kids all the time. Now I just feel like there are better things to do.

Nintendo started phoning it in about halfway through the Wii's lifespan and never quit. Every game is now a huge sandbox and playing with the physics is the game. I'm on edge with Odyssey. I think there's some fine Marioing to be had in it, but a lot of it feels very empty, surface-level and rushed... like everything they do since, I dunno, BOTW.

Kirby, Metroid and the titles they let other companies develop for them are an obvious exception... but those are few and far between since the 3DS era ended.
