Finally!

Two years ago I wrote and performed a rap song in the hopes I could win a Nintendo Switch at a company party. I failed. LOL. The top prize went to someone who wanted to dedicate company resources to a charity. How does one compete with that?

I didn’t get a chance to buy a Switch until today. The past few years involved leaving that previous job, getting accustomed to a new one, and virtually saving more money to prepare for the next chapter of my life (The States? Hong Kong? The Philippines?) in 2020.

I’ve wanted to treat myself to a new gadget for a while.

So… this is a birthday gift to myself. It’s also a reward for completing nine months in my current role. Excited to play this on the trains or while waiting at airports. ❤

I was waiting for an online promotion with Qisahn. Qisahn is one of the most trusted video game stores in Singapore. Because of the Great Singapore Sale and Shopee, they had coupons available. I can’t say I got a huge discount. But it was better than a $600 console.

These are some of the Nintendo Switch games I’m excited to play:

• Mario Kart 8 Deluxe
• Super Mario Odyssey
• Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze
• The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
• Cuphead
• Super Mario Maker 2
• Super Smash Bros. Ultimate
• Pokemon Let’s Go!
• New Super Mario Bros. U Deluxe
• Xenoblade Chronicles 2
• Stardew Valley

Are you a gamer? Do you play on the Nintendo Switch? What are your recommendations?
