@@dylanromeoanakrockeffllerm427 I did. I’m even playing TOTK right now. I also do local multiplayer like Smash, MK8, and Nick All Star Brawl. It’s a v1 Switch, before the 2nd v1 revision. 😃
Games like Mario Odyssey, BOTW and TOTK, Metroid Dread, and basically any other complete in the box games are still great Offline. The problem starts when you play games that are constantly getting updates like Minecraft and Smash. Or games where half the fun is online like Mario Kart and Mario Maker. Minecraft especially since the version you showed is over 5 years old now. Crazy how fast time goes by though. I still think the aquatic update is recent.
So basically if you've ever had the switch online and you try to reinstall a game offline most games won't work, worst form of game preservation Best modern console that will install offline is ps5
Excellent video for showing how modern consoles are still very offline friendly. It would be great if you did a video doing the same thing with the OG fat disc model PS5 as those consoles can be setup and work right out of the box without internet, most PS5 games are installable and playable off disc without internet and have firmware updates on the disc. The xbox though would be a very short video as all the xbone and series X consoles cannot be setup without connecting online, all brand new Xbox consoles are just doorstops without internet.
This didn't age well. I just bought a switch lite within this week and I can't play anything, Physical or digital without it "checking" if i have rights....batch I have the cartridge.
Hey thanks for the comment, do you mean I wont be able to play offline if I buy a switch lite today? Then should I buy a second hand one so it's older and I can play offline(well my kids lol)? Thanks!!
I can play every Nintendo console games from gameboy all the way to the switch fully offline with a pc handheld steam deck (or the new rog ally) using emulator.
If in 2024 they release a nintendo switch revision with even more battery duration than v2 revision then Ill finally buy one... As an international truck driver I need battery to last long enough (cant just charge stuff with truck engine not working as the battery already struggles with just air conditioning while I sleep and I cant just have the engine working near other trucks with people sleeping inside so yea if new nintendo switch 2024 has battery improvement Ill get it for sure if not I guess Ill just buy a steam deck oled (would rather a switch as some countries I dont have internet on my phone and switch would be better in that regards)
About the topic discussed in the video I am very annoyed at xbox one (not series...older version) as in multiple years I almost have no gameplay time done on the console because of the mandatory internet connection upgrades... happened many times after 1 or 2 months I turn on the xbox and it either asks me to update console or/and to update the games that I want to play offline.... its beyond annoying... im never again buying a new console unless I can use it offline forever if I want to... Looking good the nintendo switch... now I just wait 2024 to see if new switch model has some battery duration improvement to finally buy a nintendo switch and half a dozen physical games
Hope you have in the futur the choice to play full offline without Update and patchs or connection to the Internet with Updates and so. I mean many oldschool player still prefer the Plug in Play without Updates or Patches... Everyone should play how he/she prefers in their way, right?
Incomplete video. You should tell us when you bought the games and check the version of the game because Nintendo re-release their games with the updates inside the cartridge. I think it's also important to talk about it because ok it works, but it doesn't mean that the game works in "good condition" (for example TOTK really needs the day-one update for a more stable framerate).
Who else is out of town with their switch in the car, in a game store, but they have a second switch so the switch needs to check online to make sure the first switch isn't playing any games, and the freaking cartridge for Jeopardy, and there's not a lot of switch games but they're eyeballing Goat Simulator and making sure you don't need to download anything online to play cartridge games? Just me?
Do you actually update the Console firmware with the cartridge (you didn't show in the end) or you update the cartridge slot firmware yes there is a such thing.I have original Switch on the latest firmware using the glitch hack once tried original cartridge and didnt run because of slot firmware update require
@@Pancakesls these people who brag about their tech to people who have different stuff/nothing at all are soooo strange, it's like they don't buy things for their own enjoyment but to impress other people somehow lmao
I have a question Does my data remain? for example if I play little nightmares with that tiny disk and then I remove that tiny disc does the data still remain or I need to start over? Sorry my English is kinda bad I'm planning on buying nintendo too but the problem is I don't have WiFi so I think I just go with those tiny disc
Well my experience going out and buying a game. Is when you get home. If you do not have Wi-Fi. Most likely all your games will not work. And that's just the sad truth.😂😂😂😂
@@Justposted. Check out my youtube channel because there are of tons of games you can actually play on your nintendo switch without wifi or mobile hotspot connection.
@@Justposted. Any non multiplayer only games. Things like MK8, NSMBU, Mario Wonder, TOTK, BOTW, all of which have Singleplayer options can be played offline(at least first party Nintendo games, no guarantee for 3rd party)
Dude you're playing all one player games. Secondly, back in the day since I'm thinking around my age. We didn't need the internet because our friends came over to play our game constant. It's fine when you're playing one player games. But if you're playing mario kart, you're going to want to go online to play against other people.
And some single player games with co op doesn’t force you to stay online as long as it has the big single player mode that’s mainly made for single player more then co op
Also I don’t play with other’s bunch of hackers trolls and rude people who report online gaming is toxic an I can’t imagine what it would be like be like when gaming is online only
Nope online is completely optional it’s not a requirement online has always been optional and always will be offine is our decision to play offine if we want to
So how u create accout if u didnt use internet? For every game that he play fake offline need accout selection... Without accout u cant run physical games... 😂😂😂
@@Whattheflip64 Yea right so u saying u play modern consoles like Nintendo Switch, Ps5 or Xbox without accout? 🤦🏼♂️ Even physical games u need active with live service accout...
If you use old save they won’t work on no updated game and you can’t go to these games state point on just 1 or 2 minutes. And you say the game works or no so crearly this video is a fake
An eventually, you'll get tired of playing single player games without playing anybody. That's why I say the nintendo switch sucks cause they should really had it capable where you could put a u s a wifi plug in there.
If the game does not say, Internet required or download required, it will run no matter what
I almost always bring my Switch outside wherever I go and play it when I have the free time to. It's a nice way to pass the time imo
been playing the Nintendo Switch OFFLINE since 2018.
Wtf

Should have shown off more 3rd party games. They're definitely culprits on releasing unfinished games
I always find these videos of yours really satisfying to watch! 👍
Wii U accually was in the console wars with ps4 and Xbox one not ps3 and 360 the Wii U just lost so badly they had to go for round 2
Thank you my 68 year old dad was asking about something handheld that he wouldn't need the Internet for.
I play most of my games offline but when I’m on a train or bus I will use my phones hotspot works well to be honest
System update onto the disc/cartridge game was already a thing with the PSP.
What do you mean
I thought the exact same thing. Getting gta LCS stories and it came with the firmware update.
Nintendo still following that respect of shipping out a finished game. Kudos to them. 👍
Do digital games work offline if you get them
This is perfect i refuse to game online i wanted to see which Console gave me the best option
But do you need the actually game cause all mine are digital and I can’t play none of them offline..
eshop games cannot be played offline?
Yes you can play digital games offline I do it all the time you have to make sure it's downloaded on the console not the SD card
Actually the 16 bit era was golden....
So basically if you've ever had the switch online and you try to reinstall a game offline most games won't work, worst form of game preservation
Best modern console that will install offline is ps5
ANYONE KNOW can I play Resident Evil, Bandicoot as well as Zelda with out WI-FI ????
Yes but only after you download patches/updates that each game probably requires.
@@sportstronics wow so no

That's exactly why. This video sounds so dumb ... Good point talking about internet requirements though
Where is Animal Crossing New Horizons?
Whar a test!! I wont buy it if it was stuck on online needs.. Thaks you and Nintendo...

Why don't you just buy 2 or 3 big power banks? They'd allow you to play for tens of hours with no trouble
