I started with an xbox360, loved the controller and I really had fun with it, but I didn’t get to play it much. I still own a lot of sealed games even. For the next gen I bought a ps4, just because so many friends had the ps3 and loved it and I wanted to experience all that passion they had. I ffff hated the ps4, the thing would take ages to load up a game. Every time I wanted to play a quick game, it would just take ages updating. I live in a rural area and the internet was and still is very slow. I ended up practically not playing the thing. It’s stored as good as new. I still regret expending all that money for a thing I didn’t get to enjoy ever I think. I ended up thinking gaming wasn’t for me. When the switch was released I didn’t think anything about it, I thought it was just another gimmick. I gifted a wii u to my sister years before but she didn’t really play it so much, and his scumbag bf ended up being the one playing it, so it didn’t appeal to me to even consider a nintendo console. But that changed when I met a girl who loved the old snes donkey Kong country and I figured there was a dk game for the switch, tropical freeze, which I now know is a port from the wii u. So I bought the switch oled at launch (i didn’t even realised it was the new model), and OMG this thing is the greatest console ever made. The fact that you can take it anywhere and resume your gameplay on your tv is not a gimmick, it’s the way to go. It’s grab and play. I’m becoming a gamer because of it I think, the only problem is I still suck at games 🤣
You know what’s crazy??! I spent all day yesterday rewatching the switch’s journey Nintendo presentation by Nintendo presentation & I didn’t even realize today was its 5 anniversary. & it’s wild to think I was thinking how this year is a repeat & now all these birthday videos blows my mind 🤣
Really enjoyed the video overall, but I specifically appreciated that intro. Definitely prefer these discussion type videos. But wouldn’t be opposed to game specific videos either. 👍
@Quantum 🧪 I kept pushing tho I don’t know maybe the action and side missions were up my alley? Or maybe I like the reference to nier automata by yoko taro
I was always a Nintendo-fanboy and love all the past consoles but to be honest my love for the switch is fading when I now constantly see the Switch failing in bringing graphical highlights to my TV... the hardware really needs a refresh!
I got the switch in 2018 for my birthday and in those past 4 years, I have soo many memories getting excited to play many triple and indie games on the go. My favorite system of all time, depite on how bad the online is
I know it's very unlikely, but I would really love for Nintendo to port the old Pokemon games to the switch. Like what they've done with the N64 games, but go through the generations with Pokemon. I think it would be amazing to be able to play the pokemon games from the ds era on the switch, and maybe even allow newer pokemon fans experience the older games without having to go buy the old consoles and games. But this is just wishful thinking.
I would love to see that too but there's something that I've always wondered..how are they gonna make the dual screens of the ds games work? GBC and GBA pokemon games will be fine but ds ones? What are your thoughts on that?
@Juuzou_13 Rei Thats a very valid point actually. I didn't really think about it. Maybe they change it to be a either a pop-up menu or have it minimized? Or a mixture of both? So have it where you press a button and the small menu appears in the corner of the screen and then you would be able to access it. And then also be able to full screen the small menu.
@@WeAreNotExperts2007 that's true. I have a feeling the next switch will still fall under the Nintendo Switch Umbrella. Similar to DS variants. In a few yrs, Switch will be the #1 best-selling console/handheld of all time.
I bought the 2nd switch over a year ago played in hand held most of the time great hand held until I decided to buy the OLED just a week ago and hell yeah! this is the best hand held I’ve owned I’ve had PSP, PSP go, ps vita, DS first and second edition and the OLED switch is it 😀👍
I *REALLY* hope that Nintendo executives don't feel pressured to target 4K resolution for the "Switch 2." I would *MUCH* rather play Mario and Zelda at 1440p 90FPS on an OLED panel with a 90Hz refresh rate versus 4K @ 30FPS. Based on the last couple years of emulation, I can safely say that Nintendo games are absolutely amazing at higher refresh rates.
My favorite console ever. Love it more than the PS2 & N64. But please Nintendo, can you pleaseeeeeeeee bring Zelda Wind Waker & Twilight Princess HD to the Switch?
Its odd but i wound up playing my switch and switch lite alot more than my series x or ps5 this year. such a great lineup of games its hard to put the system down, especially being a long time pokemon fan. its crazy to think the switch is almost 5 and a half years old as of me making this comment
I had a switch then sold it because it just wasn’t interesting me. Then xenoblade chronicles 3 came out and I bought another instantly and haven’t turned back. One of the best games on the console ever
I think one of the reasons the switch is doing so well is the lack of a Vita/DS. A lot of the people who would have bought a Nintendo 4DS or Vita 2 just bought a switch since well the 4DS and Vita 2 don't exist
Nintendo is winning and has been even over the “next gen” consoles. They have no reason for a “Switch Pro” given that they just revised the Switch OLED. They will continue to win. One thing I do want Nintendo to start doing is trying to get more games. More often than not I want to play something new and original and I just see a lot of remakes from previous Nintendo consoles.
@@myproductions6225 Lol. Keep believing, but the Steam Deck is only for a specific subsection of players. The average joe won’t even understand how to buy one lol. The Switch you can just buy locally with a decent amount of games on top of that.
@@myproductions6225 Everyone who doesn’t game on their PC, which is quite a lot of people. And buying a game on steam vs buying a whole pocket computer on steam are actually two different things.
@@Sherolox nope, you can just buy the deck like you are buying any normal game on steam and even for people who have never played on pc, steam has the same games but much cheaper and the deck can emulate just about everything including Switch games(do not emulate, its Illegal, its Wrong and forbidden by God)
Switch is cool but anytime I want to play something aside from nin exclusives or indies its just not there or its a bad port. Was hoping for switch PRO but since its not there will be opting for steam deck. Despite being bulkier, heavier and more expensive - the library of games and potential is incredible. Just look into some gaming tests. Wow. And how many pc gems we have there as well. I feel like if u dont care much about nin exclusives - deck will be way to go.
I recently gave my son my Nintendo switch and I wanna get the OLED Version but I don’t wanna know if I should hold out and see if they release or announce a new switch later this year with these supposed leaks 😞
Ah Xenoblade Chronicles X.....the one that got away. It's a damn shame that it's shackled to the Wii U because it was a fantastic game and so many Nintendo fans didn't get a chance to play it. Oh well....
Even though Nintendo says arceus is with a k sound, the japanese name is アルセウス or Aruseusu. Meaning the origianal name had an s sound, but the translators changed it. Because of this I think both of the names is correct.
Maybe the do a dock that actually boost performance and the current game will sell/release a patch that allows better textures, resolution/ overall quality on TV mode.
You may won't see this but I have a question. I bought a oled switch and need a few controllers for me and if friends come over to play. What is the best wireless controller to buy 4 or 5 at once, so I have enough for everyone to play together?
I'm really glad that Nintendo hasn't released some sort of "Pro" version by now that makes all the other Switch models basically obsolete. All they did was a better screen, better battery life and smaller which is fine. Always hated what MS and Sony did with the last generation and was always hoping Nintendo will not do that. And I REALLY hope Nintendo continues this form factor. I would always choose less powerful hardware but instead have the option to play on TV AND handheld. I hate being forced to play on the TV in my living room or whatever.
Lmao This one dude I know, he got the switch v2 and then he found out about the oled. It was shortly after the release of the oled. I also have the v2 , but i`m not going to upgrade to the oled. The screen is really nice , but we still have the shitty fps in most games and it still has to drop the resolution. Lewis, I have no idea where i`m headed with this comment , but I`d say to wait for a new nintendo console.
The switch holds its value pretty well so, just get one and sell it when you're done. Why miss out on the Oled? It really is a beautiful looking screen.
I’m trading in my V1 for a Switch 2 whenever that comes out. Yes, the OLED has a nice screen, but $350 for a better screen doesn’t make sense when a $400 Switch 2 with better hardware AND that same OLED screen could be announced at anytime. I’m expecting it to be announced this year to be honest. It’s hard to imagine Ninty not using BOTW 2 running at 60fps to showcase new hardware.
I had a switch in 2017 (V1), sold it because at launch not many titles were available and did not really have time to play back then. Considering the new switch oled cause so much more content is available on the system now and Mario Strikers got me hyped. Should I buy an oled model now or wait for the next console?
The Wii the Wii-U are basically Overclocked Gamecubes. Being sold the same hardware for 3 Generations made the Entire Nintendo Fandom Dead as fuck. They either "Switched" to Playstation for JRPGs because they're weebs or they started getting into Emulation since 2012. The resurgence for Nintendo was a nice thing though. Mad respects for Reggie for sticking with the company in the most awkward era. Even though motion controls were seen as the shit stain of Nintendo's Legacy and ability to be taken seriously but VR has a lot to owe its respects for the Wii. With how the Gamecube literally inventing the "Remake Formula" that every Survival Horror franchise has rely on to stay relevant, yeah not much has changed since 2001.
Do you know if the Switch Lite is included in that 100+ million sales number? Because if so then I wouldn’t say that the Switch is the highest selling home console since the lite is handheld only…
The switch was so popular and well anticipated at first but once people saw how weak it was everyone forgot about it and went back to PlayStation and Xbox 😂 Nintendo needa up they game
@@ItsATMDrums the only reason more switches are purchased is because they get broken constantly and each kid in a home usually has their own so that’s multiple consoles per house hold it’s not rocket science.
Somebody should keep track of how many times Nintendo has dropped the ball this year I'm up to about 20 20 times Nintendo has had the chance to do something miraculous game changing and somehow did things that customers and Fanboys would have loved but Nintendo said no we're going to do this instead

I think the switch will surpass the ps2 in sales if it’s still relevant for the next few years.
If? Naw this will be lit for life because I'm not switching lmao
@@RealSmARTLiFE yeah but Nintendo will eventually make a successor to the switch in the next 3-4 years I believe.
I think that the ps2 is going to get overtaken by the switch, the xbox and the PlayStation. Probably the switch first. Then PlayStation then Xbox.
That’s like saying that is will outsell if it sells more.
@@WeAreNotExperts2007 that's true. I have a feeling the next switch will still fall under the Nintendo Switch Umbrella. Similar to DS variants. In a few yrs, Switch will be the #1 best-selling console/handheld of all time.
I just bought a switch because I’ve seen Switch Sports in coming in the spring. Now I’ve found myself nonstop buying games😂😂
I bought the 2nd switch over a year ago played in hand held most of the time great hand held until I decided to buy the OLED just a week ago and hell yeah! this is the best hand held I’ve owned I’ve had PSP, PSP go, ps vita, DS first and second edition and the OLED switch is it 😀👍
Today is my birthday too. Love that the Switch dropped on my birthday
Love the new video format, fits the iPhone 13 pro max nicely. Awesome quality !! Keep up the great work Kevin !!
