In Canada, I’ve seen these “Choose One” game cards for the Switch. Basically it’s a code that gives you 1 of 3 games of your choice when you redeem it. I think that’s a good way to give somebody some options if you want to buy them a game
Only if they have a game they want or don’t have already. I think gift cards are the best because they get to buy whatever they want. That or if they have been complaining about controllers an amazon gift card could pay for new joy cons.
Here in Spain I've been seeing a lot of switch bundles that give you the option between 3 Sega games for 310€ (10€ more than just a switch). 2 of those are mediocre sonic games but the last option, wich is a Sega compilation, is actually a pretty good deal
I found this channel when looking up games to buy after I bought myself a Switch in 2017.. It's been an incredible journey, but I miss the old intro haha
I really like Skinomi screen protectors. They're not tempered glass but a "skin" that does a phenomenal job of protecting against scratches. They also will send you out a free replacement if it gets damaged somehow or you botch the installation.
They might get flak for being cheap, but Skullcandy is a good alternative. I got the Hesh over the hear headphones and they don't sound half bad for the price
What I don't like is when headphone makers up the price on there headphones so that people will not think they are cheap crap when they are only decent headphones and so they end up not being worth the money.
@@bland9876 well it depends but what if you get headphones on black friday discounts. I have used 4 skull candy headphones and I have to say... really good bass horrible materials they break so easily 😞
recommends a load of cool official, third-party, and unlicensed Nintendo products doesn't talk about the awesome Pikachu sweater he's wearing That stings, mate lol
I'd definitely never say no to getting amiibos of games I like even if I never use them. Figures are always welcome haha and also never gonna say no to extra joycons because I have an unhealthy obsession with wanting all the colors
Kinda wish we had an ad for this video where it’s two bob’s, cuz those are always entertaining, but those are probably a lot of work, so you can’t do it all the time. Don’t want to overstate the amount of Bob you’re getting in one video after all
I'm so glad they turned on Bluetooth audio on the switch one of the best things to come out of this year I bought a $20 headset at Walmart made by Sony
If you plays Splatoon with friends, get the SteelSeries 3 Bluetooth. You connect your wired connection to the switch, and the Bluetooth to your phone, to talk to your friends while playing.
A controller I would reco is the AmiiPad. Has all + built in amiibo. Updatable and it's all programed by them. For smash not good as of now. Other titles works fine as like any other controller.
What a great video! I love all the video shots and editing :D Well described each item too I have a tomtoc slim case for my switch and love it! The perfect way to carry my switch when I go out :) I get it for all of my friends
The SD card & gift certificate are absolutely the best advice for parents short of yelling pokemon at them. PS What I want to see you do soon: •PaliaMMO talk about on your podcast •Best New 32bit and under looking games on switch
Worth noting that for the Genesis, N64, SNES and NES controllers you'll need to have an active Switch Online subscription before you're able to purchase them from Nintendo. Otherwise a very helpful an enjoyable guide!
A word of advice for those buying custom Pro Controllers or Joycons...if you see anything that's light colored such as white or pastel colors and labeled as "Soft Touch," RUN and do not waste your money. Buttons or shells alike, they will both eventually discolor whether it be within hours or months of use. The only luck I've had with anything soft touch was when I encased my switch/joycons in a plastic hard case which is very inconvenient for things like cases or the joycon grip included with the Switch. The soft touch is most commonly seen under the ExtremeRate brand or a lot of pre-assembled customs (who are purchasing the ExtremeRate shells) on Etsy. I'd hate for people to go out and spend $100+ on pre-assembled custom joycons or buy the shells and risk hours of their time just for them to turn into something that looks like a toddler eating Cheetos got ahold of.
Finally got 2 Switch OLEDs. I never had a Switch before and am pretty excited. They had a stack of them at Kohl’s department store by my gf’s house in NY.
The Split Pad Pro is still the best set of handheld controllers imo. And now Hori is coming out with a grip to let you make them into a wired controller, so they're even better.
Bhob where did you get the flat gold joy con shell no one makes them anymore they used to make them when they first came out with the switch but can’t find a new pair
I really enjoy this channel! I keep noticing all the little details to make it very pleasing to watch! It’s also nice learning about all the different products for the switch.
@10:57 I can see notches cut in around the analog stick. Where did you get that done? I clicked on your amazon link but it shows that case to be smooth. Thanks and great video as always
An awesome wireless headphone deal is the skullcandy sesh i use em while on the motorcycle and they block most of the wind noise so if you use em for the switch you'll be set
I would love to watch a coffe tutorial made by you (or videos with that tematic), i want to enter the coffe world and i think it would be great doing it with your way of explain things. Grettings from Chile
The refurbished docks me and my friend got has the bend where it can scratch the screen, mine was worse, i prefer removing the internals of the dock then putting it in an enclosure that doesn't scratch the screen
I think the ring fit is a best seller because it is popular in Japan, the home country of the Switch. In Japan, many people in the morning have a light stretch/exercise routine. Switch gamifies that daily ritual that many Japanese have. (source: Japanese friends I made in my study abroad)
My mother will give me the Zelda Game and Watch and the 8bitdo SN30pro for Christmas. Now I can't wait, because my PC Controller broke this morning.....
Thank you for pointing out the refurbed docks. Last I looked(a long time ago) they were like $120. I nabbed a refurbished dock with a new AC adapter. Didn't feel comfortable getting a previously broken power supply to a system that are now sold out everywhere again thanks to Xmas. I like having a function Switch. lol Luckily I have an really good aftermarket HDMI cable from my Series X, I sold to a friend for their son for Xmas. I play my PC anyway. Still want a PS5. Wulff Den Do What Nintendon't!
Yeah, when he said Smash and Mario Kart, I was like, "...I am a single player only type person, Bob." lol. TBF, I think we are the outliers, bro! Haha!

@@Khaine85 I mean, if it’s for a kid, I don’t think they would care
Ordered one on Amazon and they emailed me a code...
The new skull and co. grips are super awesome, very light, very sturdy, very easy to attach and detach quickly.
I found this channel when looking up games to buy after I bought myself a Switch in 2017.. It's been an incredible journey, but I miss the old intro haha
for the games portion- Bob: Just buy any game you can't go wrong let me talk about my controllers though
BaHb: Who needs games when you have controllers!?
Go and see btu video on this topic pal !
@@amijustafool what the hell is a btu
@@Skootish my bad it's beat them ups a really great channel , he is friends with bob
@@amijustafool ooooooh I love beatemups
I really like Skinomi screen protectors. They're not tempered glass but a "skin" that does a phenomenal job of protecting against scratches. They also will send you out a free replacement if it gets damaged somehow or you botch the installation.
That tiny Pocket Go would be awesome with USB C.
Looks like an adorable GBA micro with way more games.
The ads are always a rollercoaster and I get on board every time, just Bob being weird, love it!
They might get flak for being cheap, but Skullcandy is a good alternative. I got the Hesh over the hear headphones and they don't sound half bad for the price
Sony is better 😈

All I want for my Nintendo Switch is that Buff Pikachu amiibo BaHb's shown off before.
Damn, what a specimin
Lmao same i want it so badly
I'd definitely never say no to getting amiibos of games I like even if I never use them. Figures are always welcome haha and also never gonna say no to extra joycons because I have an unhealthy obsession with wanting all the colors
Good job on the coffee bit, actually watched it and didn’t skip
I feel this is just another way for bahb to show how much stuff he owns.
(Nice intro)
More like, another way for bahb to write off the stuff he owns on his taxes for business purposes.
@@Kentama could you blame him? lol
@@mikeytuns Nah, I respect the hustle, I'd do the same in a heartbeat.
Weird intro*
Ain't that the whole point of his channel doe

Your thumbnails are always so aesthetically pleasing
A controller I would reco is the AmiiPad. Has all + built in amiibo. Updatable and it's all programed by them. For smash not good as of now. Other titles works fine as like any other controller.
Nintendo must not know about that one yet cause it'll be shut down when they find out
@@hyperstimmed I hoping not!!! Will stay positive for now unlocking what I can bc it still works.
Panda controller!
What a great video! I love all the video shots and editing :D Well described each item too

•PaliaMMO talk about on your podcast
•Best New 32bit and under looking games on switch
what
The "fat joycons" are great ergonomically for using the switch in portable mode. WulffDen's video on the topic is good. 👍
Those metal joycons look Soooooo much better on the Oled than that Mario switch.
Hey Wulff it will be interesting and cool to see a video doing a tour of your new office.
I’m very interested to see it!
3:50 that transition was cleeeeeaaaaan
Worth noting that for the Genesis, N64, SNES and NES controllers you'll need to have an active Switch Online subscription before you're able to purchase them from Nintendo.
Otherwise a very helpful an enjoyable guide!
I was able to purchase the N64 controller without having the online expansion
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog You don't need the expansion - just an active subscription to Nintendo Online.

If they have some games or amiibo they’d like to display, Rose Colored Gaming makes spectacular displays and stands!
Are they an Etsy or something?
I’m from Singapore and I can vouch that Ring Fit is definitely a hot game. I see many stay home moms Instagramming themselves playing it
Bought my nephews (9 and 6) each a pocket go. It's my next project to set them up before Christmas.
I forgot what I had clicked on and thought that I was watching a good video on coffee
Bonus: The 8bitDo Pro2 and SN30 pro+ will also work with i devices (I've tested mine out on my iPad Air 2 and it works).
He mentioned it in the video
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog Oh, I must have missed that. Guess I'm not perfect yet.
@@I_was_a_Bullfrog No, he only said PC/Mac/Android
Finally got 2 Switch OLEDs.
I never had a Switch before and am pretty excited. They had a stack of them at Kohl’s department store by my gf’s house in NY.
My favourite holiday gift buying video of the year!
The video really starts at 3:18
A basstop portable dock case + new dock is a great gift. I use mine all the time when traveling.
The pocket-go is currently out of stock, and others are selling for about 10-20$ more
I got a Pocket Go because of this video.
Thank you Bob.
The Split Pad Pro is still the best set of handheld controllers imo. And now Hori is coming out with a grip to let you make them into a wired controller, so they're even better.
Oh that's cool
the binbock ones look better because they are fully warless and have rumble/motion controls.
Bhob where did you get the flat gold joy con shell no one makes them anymore they used to make them when they first came out with the switch but can’t find a new pair
ALSO 8bit do are perfect for the teens or adults that played a lot of PlayStation and it helps them transition to the switch controller even easier
The "CHRISTMAS!" yell at the end from off screen was great. I loved that.
It was funny on how you kept mentioning to only buy something depending on how much you like the person.
merry christmas! i love your channel and podcast :)
Yoooooooooooooooo the piano at the beginning is banging
They also have a blue shell for the Boxypixel Joycons. I have mine in blue but the buttons & dpad are red.🔥
Did we ever confirm 3rd party docks are okay if you use the official power supply? That might be a thing for some people.
I really enjoy this channel! I keep noticing all the little details to make it very pleasing to watch! It’s also nice learning about all the different products for the switch.
Bob:thank you trade for sponsoring this video.
Me:… when are your videos not sponsored by trade coffee?!
U and beatemups have such an admirable friendship😂
Loving the pocket go. Nice build quality. It was easy to update the firmware too.
How good is it to play on pixel perfect mode?
@@alinepiroutek8932 I just play on full screen mode and it looks great
Joycon with octagonal gates would be nice
@10:57 I can see notches cut in around the analog stick. Where did you get that done? I clicked on your amazon link but it shows that case to be smooth. Thanks and great video as always
He did those himself with a small file, he has a video on it🙂
something you might want for your switch is pasta!!
An awesome wireless headphone deal is the skullcandy sesh i use em while on the motorcycle and they block most of the wind noise so if you use em for the switch you'll be set
"The name escapes me! I'm going to Beat myself Up over this".... Lol!
Thanks for this info Bob, it helps me a lot with gift giving!
"I'm gonna 'beat' myself up over this."
I see what you did there.
I would love to watch a coffe tutorial made by you (or videos with that tematic), i want to enter the coffe world and i think it would be great doing it with your way of explain things. Grettings from Chile
My sweet boyfriend got me the animal crossing dock refurbished from Nintendo for our anniversary we’ve had no problems with it at all!!
BeatThemDowns was the one you forgot about Bob. I got you
i was keeping my eye on the refurbished animal crossing dock and just recently gave up... Thanks for the heads up!
I just ordered a Satisfye Grip for my Switch Lite.
All things 8bitdo are great gifts, maybe should have mentioned the usb dongle to use xbox contoller on switch. Great vid.
that D-pad joycon looks promising
I would have also recommended an nfc spoofer, like the n2 elite, if I recall it supposed to hold a bunch of amiibo on it
eugh fire pokemon theme in the intro background
Is there any good alternative yet for the NSO N64 controller?
Out of everything that was shown the only thing i want is that Pikachu Christmas sweater he's wearing lol
Another fantastic high quality video. This really is one of the better buying guide videos out there!
On the Bluetooth front I would say stick to the $13 or less five below ones or go all out the in between ones just don't make sense to me
The refurbished docks me and my friend got has the bend where it can scratch the screen, mine was worse, i prefer removing the internals of the dock then putting it in an enclosure that doesn't scratch the screen
I think the ring fit is a best seller because it is popular in Japan, the home country of the Switch. In Japan, many people in the morning have a light stretch/exercise routine. Switch gamifies that daily ritual that many Japanese have. (source: Japanese friends I made in my study abroad)
Yes, this became popular after the movie, “Gung Ho”
Just a question, what is your keyboard? it looks super sick and i might be interested in buying one of my own.
Bro is that demonic Christmas chanting at the beginning all you? That was creepy AF!!!😂 I absolutely love it
Is that baseline Bahb coffee slobbery with the spills or just for show?
Fixture S1 is a must buy
What about a small portable dock to play with a controller while it charges and not hooked to a tv.
Wow I clicked on this when it was out for 42 seconds, 🤯
Hope you still make a regular holiday gift guide
That’s sweater is 🔥🔥🔥🔥
I really wish a company would make a left pad with the dpad and analog stick switched.
Love your channel!!! Thanks for content!!!! Merry Xmas
Where’s the wulffden satisfy grip and case at?
Are there any good, affordable d pads for the joy con out there yet?
would like to buy an oled but everywhere near me still says sold out 24/7. maybe better off after chrismas then resuming the search.
My mother will give me the Zelda Game and Watch and the 8bitdo SN30pro for Christmas.
Now I can't wait, because my PC Controller broke this morning.....
Thank you for pointing out the refurbed docks. Last I looked(a long time ago) they were like $120.

Wulff Den Do What Nintendon't!
I have a switch lite and would love to have a switch I can dock, but wouldn’t I have to start animal crossing completely over if I got a new switch?
Love your vids Bahb. Keep up the amazing work
I always enjoy your holiday guides, great stuff!
Merry Christmas Bob! Great video 🙂
Where’d you buy the sweater?
Not the pro controller case selling out during the first hour of this video 🥲💔
Nice twist on the intro
"Can't go wrong with" (lists 3 games I would never have any interest in).
Yeah, when he said Smash and Mario Kart, I was like, "...I am a single player only type person, Bob." lol. TBF, I think we are the outliers, bro! Haha!
Internet daddy is here in his traditional ugly Christmas sweater
Quick Question: Where is a good place/site to buy a modded Gameboy Advance?
I've seen them on Etsy!
Got that Trade deal for my christmas present.
I'm surprised you aren't recommending the SnackBox Micro.
raycons are great to get
