When I first heard about the Nintendo Switch, I didn’t understand it. I am notoriously thick, so when a rumour went around that the next Nintendo would be like the Wii U but , I couldn’t even picture it. Would we have to stand inside the tablet somehow? I saw wires tangling everywhere. Not fun.
Then came the lifestyle adverts. I still didn’t understand it. People playing with Nintendo’s new console on rooftop gatherings and in trendy restaurants with exposed brick on the walls?
After a while I saw my first Switch. Oddly enough I was in a trendy coffee shop with exposed brick on the walls. Martin Robinson showed me a bit of Zelda and I suddenly understood – or thought I did. Hey, I know this: it’s the Vita! as the old Dust Buster ads used to say, I loved the Vita! So suddenly I was on board. 100 percent Team Switch. But guess what, I still didn’t understand it. I just thought I did.
