As I scrolled through the list of games coming to the Switch eShop over the next week I kept scrolling and scrolling and scrolling until I realized there was almost 40 games coming out! Talk about a ton of games to play. Granted not all of them are sure to be quality hits, but come on! Look at that list! There’s definitely at least a handful of games I’d want to own. What a wonderful time to be a Nintendo fan!
