Personally, around 2020-2021 when I first discovered splatoon. The excitement i got from playing online for the first time is something I'll never forget.
Splatoon 3 was my best year for Nintendo Switch, and Splatoon 3 is 9/10, and other games are overrated wish is Brothership, and Zelda Games, overrated franchise... I like Splatoon Better for Switch.. And looking forward for Switch 2. First Got The Switch sense 2018 is Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, and Smash Ultimate.
The Switch is only system I have gone for a midnight launch. I remember getting home and setting it up at 1:00 am, sleeping for about 3 hours before waking up at 5:00 just to play Breath of the Wild for a bit before school. Once I was home I played it nonstop until I finished the game (it was spring break). The Switch has since become my favorite console with tons of great games, but Breath of the Wild still remains my favorite game on the system. Some of the other great games have been: Tears of the Kingdom, Odyssey, Pikmin ports and 4, Metroid Dread, Smash Ultimate, Wii U ports (especially Tropical Freeze), Link’s Awakening, Hollow Knight, Cuphead, and I could keep going on. Way too many good games. I will still be playing the Switch for a long time :)
Out of every game that released on the Switch, Splatoon 2 has had the most impact on me. It's the game that helped introduce me to so many wonderful people here on the channel and the community. Splatoon as a whole has changed my life for the better. Amazing video as always Alpha! 🐯
Do people still play the game? Or maybe Splatoon 3? I'm trying to get my first ever switch LITE this year for Christmas, so I'm interested in seeing if it's worth buying (Splatoon.)
using three wishes as background music to compare to the past, present, and future of Nintendo Switch games is just *chef’s kiss* I became a committed switch player late 2020, so haven’t been around for the LONGEST, but I definitely have an appreciation for everything the switch has done. Incredible video! (This coming from the person who beat BotW on their local library’s rented copy-)
I spent 2017 to 2019 asking my parents to buy a Nintendo switch ( got one for Christmas 2019...just in time for the pandemic) Christmas 2020 is when i first experienced splatoon 2...story mode. 2022 was the best year ever though. I got Nintendo switch online and played splatoon 2 online for about 4 months. splatoon 3 (my favorite game on the switch) was the first of many of my favorite titles that launched up to this date...i hope the switch 2 brings awesome adventures and memories 😊
Despite the failure of the Wii U, the switch managed to outcompete literally every other console except for two, for good reason, so if the switch 2 will be anything like the first one? We'll be set for the next decade or so
It was 2022 to present for me. so many freat games and things happened during this period. such a shame it has to end. Here we stand in time, endless past present, and future span, our wishes are the flame that lights up history!
At first I never wanted a switch since I was grateful with what I had. Until I got one on my sometime around Christmas and I played with it ever since taking in every minute I had into the games I have
*god that outro brought me to tears man..* what i wanna say is that its insane how far we've come ever since the switch's release: 2017-2024 ITS BEEN NEARLY 8 YEARS HOLY COW- The switch has come out with a lot and i mean A LOT of games for the past 7 years, that being games that build up the hype, or games that literally no one gives a crap about. (im looking at you nintendo switch sports) overall, im excited for whats to come once the switch 2 comes out! MAYBE WE'LL EVEN GET A SPLATOON 4- but for now, i guess we'll have to wait and see what the future holds ^^" 💜 P.S. I'm still waiting for that 5 month long xenoblade stream alpha 😀
Oof the beginning of this video spoke a lot as I got the Switch at launch. I was 17 and followed the NX era 2/3 years prior in my teens, now I'm 25 playing the exact same console I got, which still works perfectly. So much has happened and changed over these years but the switch has always stood by my side. It's definitely going to be melancholic to not play the switch as much anymore once the next console comes around.
There is a lot of Switch Games I liked playing on Switch like Super Mario Odyssey, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe/Booster Course Pass, Super Mario Party, Luigi's Mansion 3, Super Smash Bros Ultimate, New Super Mario Bros U Deluxe, Super Mario Bros Wonder, Mario Party Superstars, Mario VS Donkey Kong, Super Mario RPG, Paper Mario The Thousand Year Door, Luigi's Mansion 2 HD, Super Mario Party Jamboree, Mario & Luigi: Brothership, Splatoon 2, Splatoon 3, Kirby Star Allies, Super Kirby Clash, Kirby Fighters 2, Kirby and the Forgotten Land, Kirby's Dream Buffet, Kirby's Return to Dreamland Deluxe, and Epic Mickey Rebrushed. But I do hope we get remakes of both Kirby Triple Deluxe and Kirby Planet Robobot and also a remake of Tomodachi Life and adding the Mii Maker Editor from Miitopia on Switch 1 before we move on to Switch 2. Because I know on Switch 2 we're gonna get 3D Mario, Mario Kart X, a sequel to Kirby and the Forgotten Land, a new 2D Kirby Game called Kirby and the Celestial Stars, Luigi's Mansion 4, a new Donkey Kong, new Punch-Out, a new Star Fox, and GameCube Library coming to Switch 2. But I hope Switch 1 will give us some games before we move on to Switch 2.
My family bought the Switch the day it released, can’t believe how much it changed my life! Never tried Splatoon before, my parents bought it thinking we could all play, we misunderstood and I fell in love with the game. Zelda BOTW is full of fond memories for me, Fire Emblem Three Houses was a gorgeous experience for me. I’m just said it’s so broken down that I can’t play two Splatoon 3 games before it shuts down cuz it gets overheated!
I'm dead "We have the chatgpt version of wii sports" laughed for a solid minute great video Alpha! Looking forward to all the adventures on the successor!
Alpha once again using Alphys' theme as the "awkward/nerd" theme, you love to see it Also, yeah, between the switch's many different great single player games, the multiplayer games played with friends, my first few steps into playing indie games I made with it, and with how it was my avenue into what is probably the single biggest hyperfixation of my life (hint: 💀❤️🧑)... Yeah. We're all probably gonna have some crazy nostalgia for this console. Hopefully it won't make us too jaded. 😂
I finally got a switch after years of wanting one last christmas since i saw splatoon 2 come out, but now i play splatoon 3 and think, i wish i coulda played splatoon 2 in its prime.
This may have been a really good era for the switch, but not for Pokemon. Despite what the sales of the games got, I think we can all genuinely agree Pokemon for the switch was a really bad era
SwSh and BdSp were kinda rough but imo, Legends Arceus and Scarlet and Violet were great (other than the graphics)! I'm hoping that Pokemon Z-A will be the polished Pokemon game we've all been waiting for. It's had much more time in the oven.
I remember when I first got my switch that we played a lot of zelda and snipperclips. Lets just say snipperclips resulted in so much salt and yelling between me and my siblings that we just deleted it
I hope Splatoon 4 will be a main thing, and 3d Mario Games are a main thing, because i like Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros Ultmate World Of Light, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and i was thinking about Mario Party Jamboree... I cannot wait for Switch 2, sense i had my Switch for almost 6 years.
Was there from the beginning, played many titles from 2017-2022, then lost interest in 2023-now and I’m read for its successor to arrive. Switch ended in 2022 for me
Xenoblade 2 was so GOATED! Amazing designs by the great Saitou Masatsugu! They made exactly what they wanted not caring for how 'some fans' would react. Absolutely based game.
Which year of the Switch's life do you think was the best? Let me know right here in the comments! 😉
Personally, around 2020-2021 when I first discovered splatoon. The excitement i got from playing online for the first time is something I'll never forget.
We love splatoon 1
2022-2024, It was when I started playing splatoon and I love it
2018-2019 for splatoon 2
for the switch? probably 2020 or 2018
Splatoon 3 was my best year for Nintendo Switch, and Splatoon 3 is 9/10, and other games are overrated wish is Brothership, and Zelda Games, overrated franchise... I like Splatoon Better for Switch.. And looking forward for Switch 2. First Got The Switch sense 2018 is Splatoon 2, Mario Odyssey, and Smash Ultimate.
Call it bias but when a single video game had changed my life over the last 2 or so years, yea the squid game of 2022 takes the cake for me.
Same
It was so awesome because the first 5 years rocked and then splat 3 has carried my last 2 years
“We got cleavage”- WHAT.
LMAOOOAOAOA
I mean, he's not... wrong???
Lmao 😂😂
This comment thread is missing a 💀

@@phoenix11047 Splatoon 2 is getting a bit empty but Splatoon 3 is still very alive
@@phoenix11047i would recommend buying a normal switch or OLED if you can tho
Pokemon fans are probably looking back on the switch with war flashbacos

First time playing Zelda was absolutely insane

We'll see if it lives up to the OG Switch 👀
@@Alphastar716hell no it won't, in sales atleast
It was 2022 to present for me. so many freat games and things happened during this period. such a shame it has to end. Here we stand in time, endless past present, and future span, our wishes are the flame that lights up history!
10:05 this is a good representation on what I focus on when I play video games ✨ good music ✨
Good music is one of my favorite parts of a lot of my favorite games haha
At first I never wanted a switch since I was grateful with what I had. Until I got one on my sometime around Christmas and I played with it ever since taking in every minute I had into the games I have
Not the ending making me tear. I can't with that songs ending.

Oh Splatoon 4's definitely coming out during the Switch 2's lifetime x)
@Alphastar716 so my predictions are correct! I WIN AGAIN!
That ending was amazing but IM STILL WAITING FOR NEO OCTOLING ARMOR AND KENSA WEAPONS IN SPLATOON 3
I remember that feeling when i bought my switch 😞 i miss that
You'll get to have a similar feeling when you buy the Switch 2 👀

Yeah, the Switch has been with me from middle school until my junior year of college.
I have no idea if I have bad memory but I got Mario kart Zelda and Mario with my switch in march
I had to get this console during COVID in early 2021. Great console.

Aww really? I have a day 1 Switch myself and Splatoon 3 runs perfectly. That might be smth you wanna get checked out.
I'm dead
"We have the chatgpt version of wii sports"
laughed for a solid minute great video Alpha! Looking forward to all the adventures on the successor!
I only spit facts!
I'm still amazed at the Switch's lifespan, I can't remember a console that has lasted so long without the formal reveal of its successor
Got a switch summer 2023. Have a libary of 19 games! So many gems to play!
Yooo nice!
Alpha once again using Alphys' theme as the "awkward/nerd" theme, you love to see it

Yeah. We're all probably gonna have some crazy nostalgia for this console. Hopefully it won't make us too jaded. 😂
I can already hear the "back in my days..." about the Switch lol
The Metroid Dread slander is insane you NEED to play this game omg-
Damn you really did just skip and ignore Metroid Prime Remastered...
damn....
Sorry, this video was already like 20 minutes with the stuff I covered. I could go for hours covering everything. 😭
I finally got a switch after years of wanting one last christmas
since i saw splatoon 2 come out, but now i play splatoon 3 and think, i wish i coulda played splatoon 2 in its prime.
Lots of great memories in 2 but you aren't missing out with splatoon 3. Its definately the better game
At least you got to participate in some of Splatoon 3's events like the Grand Festival. Imo, those top anything in Splatoon 2.
METROID DREAD NEXT STREAM GAME REEEEAAAAAL
fsck that final fest music at the end is gonna make be cry bruv ;0;
soooo this is the guy I was supposed to fight against in cursed crystal’s youtuber battles..
My first switch game was sonic mania plus…..I feel so old.
i got a nintendo labo in 2018 and never used it until i sold it in 2023 lol
Well, you can at least say you had it lol

Many were too harsh to 3ds era
Can’t believe it has been that long
20:34 YOU CAN'T JUST DO THAT MAN
OMG
BIT OF A TW NEXT TIME EY?!
Sorry about that man. Next time I'll warn you before I say, *"And here we are."*
@@Alphastar716 Lmfao-
...
Wait...
HELL ON EARTH, GOD DAMMIT
how did 8 years go by so fast..
Metroid dread is amazing
Splatoon was my favriot. By 1,000 miles
I remember when I first got my switch that we played a lot of zelda and snipperclips. Lets just say snipperclips resulted in so much salt and yelling between me and my siblings that we just deleted it
Crazy that i never played botw or any zelda game
You should 👀
…I just realized I’ve had my switch for 5 years
Time flies when you're having fun 👀
Man I miss my switch I lost 😢
I hope Splatoon 4 will be a main thing, and 3d Mario Games are a main thing, because i like Mario Odyssey, Smash Bros Ultmate World Of Light, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, and i was thinking about Mario Party Jamboree...
I cannot wait for Switch 2, sense i had my Switch for almost 6 years.

i can't believe that the switch lasted the lenght of 2 presidential terms, and i only had it since 2022. yeah, i was a bit late to the party.
Bro thought he could say “we got cleavage” and thought we wouldn’t notice💀💀💀
But am I wrong?
@@Alphastar716 No but like you didn’t need to point it out😭😭😭
21:20 The fact the DS is the second best selling console ever and people used to make jokes about how supposedly no one bought it. 😂
No Astral Chain or FE3H mention 😔
I had labo. Notice I said "Had"
for me, i had the obligatory copy of mario kart 8 deluxe instead
Mario Kart 8 Deluxe was also one of those must buy games x)
Celeste mentioned
Every Nintendo Nintendo franchise that got a game on switch did something new and great and expanded on there formula...
Except Pokemon!
Wrong! The Pokémon Franchise gave us open world game, Pokemon in the overworld and most importantly frame rate drops. 😀
Hey Alpha, you forgot to mention the game called Ninjala
Oh right, I forgot Ninjala came out in 2020 too x)
Despite the fact the Switch has had the personality if a Cardboard Box, unlike the 3DS. 😂😂😂
WATCH YOUR MOUTH
