The DS was great. The Switch lacks the features that made it amazing, imo.
Welp, too bad I never had it to compare. I haven't played a mario game for like more than 15 years (until now), I vaguely remember playing on some very old Nintendo system when I was very young (like not the handheld types, I don't think), when I was in China. Then we immigrated to the United States and like we didn't bring all that stuff, my parents only packed a lot of clothes, legal documents, and like that was it.
I don't think I ever had a legitimate Nintendo system before, it was probably all bootlegs. And it was always shared with my older brother, I couldn't play when he was playing.
It's hard to have to leave everything behind. I think when adults pack for kids, they think about the things you'll need and don't consider the kinds of belongings that kids find meaningful.
