Campfire Tales - The time Nintendo suddenly mattered.
What happens when a die-hard Sega fan takes a leap of faith into the world of Nintendo?
Join me as I briefly reminisce on how the Switch rekindled a long-lost passion for multiplayer mayhem and the simple joy of gathering loved ones around a screen. It's not just the sleek handheld mode that captivated me, but the nostalgic memories of split-screen chaos reminiscent of old-school Xbox LAN parties. Imagine the scene: Mario Kart and Super Smash Bros. bringing laughter and competition into my living room, bridging the gap between past gaming glories and modern innovations. This episode is a testament to how the Nintendo Switch became a pivotal turning point, redefining my relationship with Nintendo and reminding us all why these pixelated adventures hold such a special place in our hearts.
