    Link's Awakening comes out tomorrow, and the critical consensus so far seems to be quite positive despite some minor technical issues (that can hopefully be patched).

          I honestly think the Switch is the best gaming console to have ever hit the market because of how versatile it is. I can't wait for a new version of it.
