    I have leukemia so I’m in bed a lot. I am receiving treatments and kicking cancers ass. I always been a huge pc gamer.. I have a pc with a 4090 even.. I bought an oled switch because I’m in bed and man I swear it’s awesome. I have not even thought of my pc.. not saying it replaced it but It’s truly not always about graphics. I love how Nintendo just makes great games. I am Currently playing Metroid dread and Tears of The kingdom and Mario Odyssey. It’s a beautiful system and has made me feel like a kid again. I don’t care if you have pc, Xbox or PlayStation. You need a switch…Can’t recommend it enough.

    I'm hugely interested in acquiring the oled version. My main reason to buy it is to play single-playing games like Breath of the Wild, but sometimes I miss the nostalgic feeling of sharing the fun in gameplay with 3+ people in the same space/household. So I want to see what it is like to play Mario Kart again in my new family, or even taking back the feelings of playing Streets of Rage 4 say, with my husb, because I really love the uniqueness that feels when you play a beat'em up, especially with help, it feels like you can take on anyone, the whole world if necessary.

    I’m a long time pc gamer but finally grabbed a switch a couple weeks ago . I wasn’t expecting much since I’m used to 4K or at least 1440p gaming depending on the game .. but honestly the switch has been a blast . It’s my first console I’ve owned in years since and first Nintendo console since the GameCube . I mainly wanted it for botw totk and multiplayer games for when my nieces and nephew are up to play Mario kart and party but damn it’s been so much fun and the 720p oled screen doesn’t bother me at all ! I play it way more in handheld than I thought I would and didn’t realize how many 1st party exclusives I’ve been missing out on beyond Zelda . Line fire emblem three houses has been a blast so far ! Such a cool device , glad I got it honestly . Theres something so charming and comforting about a lot of Nintendo exclusives

    15:07 I did exactly that. I got my Switch Lite for Christmas in 2021 & although I do love it, I realized later on that it wasn't really what I wanted in terms of a "handheld." It just felt a little small for me because I have big hands & plus, I wanna be able to play the Switch games on the TV as well as taking it with me everywhere I go. More importantly, you brought a good point that I did not even know about until right now. I wanna be able to use multiplayer whenever I'm playing with my friends when we play either Mario Kart or Super Smash Bros Ultimate. So, I'm definitely gonna pick up a Switch Oled at some point, maybe for Christmas this year.

    Got a lite for a couple reasons. Local multiplayer is pretty occasional & I've got a gamecube with multiple controllers already for Smash/Mariokart and some others friends & I find nostalgic. By myself the main times I have to play games are in bed falling asleep, on the train etc. I like a lot of 2D games that are fun to play in short bursts like Shredder's revenge. To me it's just basically the best "gameboy" I've ever had + you can find them pretty cheap on marketplace.

Also, the Switch’s party trick is being able to switch, so to me, the lite seems to lack a clear sense of purpose.

    Couple of minor things:
    - The 720p resolution in handheld and 1080p in docked mode is the maximum it can support, meaning that some games actually run on lower resolutions than that in both modes.
    - There are 4 models of the Switch (exluding the special editions) because the OG day one Switch received a refreshed version which is called the Switch V2. So to recap, there is the Switch, Switch V2, Switch Lite and Switch OLED.

      @@Scot-land There's only one thing you need to know, especially if you don't have the box. Look at the number on the back. If it's HAC-001 it's the old one (2017-2018) and unfortunately has a really inefficient computer chip that will only net you a little over 2 hours of battery life. If it's HAC-001(-01) then it's the 2nd gen V2 2019-2023 version with the new computer chip and will generally get a little over 4 hours of battery life. If you have the HAC-001(-01) then you actually have the same chip as the OLED and thus will get almost identical battery life to the new OLED.

    I bought a Switch Lite, which happens to be my first Nintendo console, and for the most part, I really enjoy it as a secondary console.
    I personally didn't need any multiplayer functionalities on the Switch as any friends I game with are on other platforms, and I also didn't plan on playing my Switch in TV mode at all since I have an Xbox Series S and PS5 as my main consoles, which obviously offer significantly better performance. I'm not a fan of Nintendo exclusives either--not to deny they are probably objectively great games, but from everything I have tried, they are just not to my taste--particularly since I didn't grow up with Nintendo to have any sort of nostalgic pull towards Mario or Zelda or Pokemon.
    Instead I use my Switch to buy duplicates of AAA games that I play properly on my Xbox, so I can boot up a new save and have something to play on the go. And while I find the Switch's performance in games like The Witcher 3 or Hogwarts Legacy can be well below its PS4/Xbox One competitors, let alone the new generation of consoles--to the point that if you are more keen on these sorts of games I would strongly recommend buying an Xbox Series S, or even PS4 Pro instead at a similar price, to experience these games for the first time--I am honestly rather astounded that the Switch can run these titles in the first place on its hardware, am I am delighted that I can continue playing them while travelling or commuting, even if the performance suffers.
    Ultimately if it only came down to one console, unless you are strongly drawn to Nintendo exclusives or plan to do the majority of your gaming in handheld mode, I would very much advocate for the Xbox Series S--for true next gen performance at the same price as a regular Switch, relative portability that I feel often gets overlooked, a much wider library of cross-platform games and commitment to backward compatibility (made even more accessible through Xbox Game Pass/cloud gaming), and overall insane value for money.
    But if your tastes in gaming are anything like mine, and you can shell out an extra couple hundred dollars, from my experience the Switch Lite is a really nice companion. If you have something like a Series S you're probably going to prefer that if you're planning to invest 100-200 hours into an open world game, so you're not met with 90-second loading screens and consistent FPS dips which will constantly break your immersion within the game--even if that means starting a new save on the go. And yet, the ability to take some of your favourite titles with you wherever you are is really astounding, which is not to mention that the Switch makes gaming so much more accessible within the comfort of your home, where you can pick up your handheld while stretched across the sofa and dive back into the world, even on nights when booting up your TV seems like too much effort.
    Having said all of that, I am keeping a very close eye on the (very probable) Switch 2 which is likely to come out later this year. *If* Nintendo can increase performance enough to actually exceed the PS4/Xbox One on a handheld, even if it doesn't quite match up to a Series X/PS5--and in turn, inevitably entice more AAA ports--I would actually be inclined to buy the full-fat Switch with TV capabilities, and make that a main platform for sinking time into its available games instead of just buying duplicates: for the benefit of being able to take my saves on the go--so long as the performance dip on newer games, compared to a Series S, is no longer pronounced enough as to break my immersion.
    That is what it would take for me personally to consider the Switch as a primary console in the future. Nevertheless, even for someone who is not really after Nintendo exclusives, if you travel/commute/vegetate on the couch enough to have opportunities to use the Switch Lite, I have not regretted buying mine.
    Anyway this is just my (very non-professional) two cents from personal experience, if it helps anyone whose tastes are anything like mine and who is in the market for a new console :)

    Dead ass bro. The Nintendo switch is the best console ever. I went and have the Splatoon 3 limited edition and that's my main switch because when they announced it, I went all out crazy. I got the tears of the Kingdom Pro Controller the switch itself and the special edition game bundle, which is amazing. I already took care of breath of the wild and passed it. Very amazing game. And I do agree with you. There are awesome games in my personal opinion. Zelda is what keeps me on the switch and no matter what people say the Legend of Zelda and Horizon, even though one is from Nintendo and the other one from PlayStation are the best games to ever exist. At least for me. Now if anyone owned the first edition of the switch and you moved to the outlet or haven't then I recommend you to move to it because it's a big step up the Oled. It's green is very vibrant, especially when you are playing Smash Bros mobile.

    Nice analysis of the Nintendo switch, but I feel people need to stop comparing it to the PlayStation five and Xbox series X It’s obviously not gonna be anywhere near as power as those systems and I’d like the unique graphic style of Nintendo Switch games also first party, Nintendo Switch games that have a great look in their own way. Yes, the hardware is outdated but first and foremost, it is a portable system that can double up as a console mode home console in docked mode, I personally think that the Nintendo switch is comparable to the Xbox 360 and PS3 generation which isn’t a bad thing yes it’s not good in terms of you know currently, but I think that generation had great graphics and it’s not a bad thing that the switch in terms of graphical performance is compared to them. In my opinion, I recently got a Mario edition Nintendo switch owned and I’m loving it, it’s revitalised my love for gaming.

      I will buy the Oled TOTK version around black Friday. Even if some sort of Switch 2/Pro releases in, let's say a year, it will take years until it will have a decent game library. So I have no problem waiting a couple of more years until I pick up a next gen Nintendo console, enjoying my Switch in the meantime.

      I might buy the new switch when it releases depending on the hardware configuration, like if it can accept switch cartridges and if it has an OLED screen. Otherwise I might wait a year or two!

    My daughter got me a switch lite for Mother’s Day. It was quite an upgrade from my DS lite. 😂
    Unfortunately, at 50, my eyes aren’t what they used to be, so I got an oled for myself for Christmas.
    I generally play it docked. Currently hooked on RDR and Ark. When I play handheld I play mineral town, Zelda, Pokemon or Mario. My granddaughter and I play multiplayer on Mario cart and the Wii Sports. I let my granddaughter use the lite to play Zelda and I introduced her to Pokemon on my GBA because I think it’s a little easier.
    Great video!

    For me it's the ease of use, portability, game optimization compared to a smartphone, and huge selection of games, both modern and classics. Being able to pick up and play mario kart 8, fall guys, and some motocross games from console as well as even a handful of games from pc like golf with your friends (and fall guys). The Like is great for simplicity and portability, but the oled is what I'll go for if I spend more since its only $50 more than the regular switch.
    And yeah the graphics arent as great as console, but the point is - portability and isnt intended to replace a full console

  • @Zeidinho
    @Zeidinho 8 місяців тому +1

    Thx for posting. I would argue if it was worth buying a Switch in 2023, which is when I bought it. I agree that Nintendo has been a genius in the game industry for decades, but I feel room for innovation is narrowing as the competition gets stronger as we've seen over the last 15 years or so. I personally grew tired of my Switch quite quickly and rarely used it since getting a PS5.
    Top Switch games are overpriced (no one can argue this fact) and exclusives are the same titles rehashed for each new console (Mario Kart, Party, Tennis, Odysee etc...), albeit they're still fun to play. Once you're done with those, you're left with mostly average games that look better on other consoles, or games that could run on your mobile.
    I cant remember the last time I bought a game but I wont be interested unless its below $15. It will be gathering dust while I wait :)

    I'm a big retro console fan from SNES and Game Boy to Gamecube, to the point where I haven't owned or played a single console game since Gamecube and Game Boy Advance in 2003 or so and even I'd say the Switch isn't just the most revolutionary console in 15-17 years, but by far and away the most revolutionary console ever. The Switch game library is the best of all time and it brought me back, and how couldn't it be? Developers know that if you're not creating games on the Switch, you're missing out on the most important gaming device probably of all time when it's all said and done. It's a device that gives you not only every type of console you'd ever want, all in 1 box, but executes on each dynamic from handheld to tabletop to TV completely flawlessly. Whatever comes after the Switch, whether it's more of a "Switch 2" or something completely new, there's no way it can be as innovative as a console that combined every type of gaming into one, all in 1 generation without any flaws. I actually hope it's just an updated Switch with different screen size options, 1080p, all OLED and maybe 2 or 3 different joycon style options. That's really all we need.

Makes more sense just having my own little tidy component but yes, one day when I wake up Rich, I will go back and buy the OLED $200 already is a lot of money. That’s groceries and doctors visits already. When you have more years ahead of you. Then you do behind you and you have extra income. Yes spend the extra money and get you the outlet.
