The Nintendo Switch reveal event had everything you'd expect from a good Nintendo launch: off-beat executives, weird hardware quirks, and… Mario running around a city full of normal sized people in Super Mario Odyssey? That was a thing that happened, too, and Twitter had plenty to say about it.

I got a BA in journalism from Central Michigan University - though the best education I received there was from CM Life, its student-run newspaper. Long before that, I started pursuing my degree in video games by bugging my older brother to let me play Zelda on the Super Nintendo. I've previously been a news intern for GameSpot, a news writer for CVG, and was formerly a staff writer at GamesRadar.
