a little bit about how you got into gaming and collecting?
I got into gaming because of my older cousins and my dad’s
friend. Watching them game on their consoles was so intriguing. How I became a
collector: I had a bad habit of selling my goods, then after a while I would
regret selling my items. Once I stopped selling, a collection started to grow.

your impressions of the Switch?
First off, very impressive from the feel of it even down to
the weight. It’s a massive game changer down to the Joy cons where you’ve
got instant 2 player mode. My favorite part is playing my favorite franchises
in handheld mode. I am incredibly excited to see what else the
system has to offer.
