    I love Scott's new approach of not crunching on the Main channel Videos and using his second channel as an outlet to just talk about the things he wants to talk about without feeling the pressure to put the same effort into it. Also i just enjoy these types of Videos. It's like talking to the friend who is into the same niche weird things as you. That you wish you had

As a Nintendo fan, I loved all the leaks and speculation around the NX. Going on twitter and seeing a new leak every week. The whole of the internet being tricked by the custom 3D Model of the NX. I don’t think we will ever relive the sheer hype for the next console than we did that year. It definitely stuck out for good reason.

    Ahh yes 2016. December at my old job during lunch this girl said she was getting her daughter a New 3DS for Christmas and I told her to just 3 months and get a Switch. She insisted that it's what her daughter wanted and then said she needed to buy a charger with it. I very smugly said it'd be dumb if any company sold an electronic device without it's charger and she said "yeah but it doesn't bring one". My reputation for being the electronics guy made me double down and said " how much you wanna bet it brings one?". I proceeded to call Gamestop and asked if the New Nintendo 3DS included a charger "no they don't". I never felt dumber that year thanks to Nintendo's cost saving measurements.

This was to the point where I really wasn't interested in playing anything else save for a handful of other games (and even then, those times were rare) and got an absurd amount of playtime on it. I sometimes think about why that is, and it seems that part of it really was the lack of interesting games being released at the time.

      I legit put upwards of 800+ hours into Alpha Sapphire. The PSS made it so easy to trade and battle with people, and combine that with MIIVERSE where people shared friend codes and put out trade requests, it was even better. I straight up bred shinies to trade for legendaries that I wanted. I really don't know why they didn't just make the PSS a feature for every future game, Game Freak has a disgusting habit of throwing out amazing concepts that improve the game, just because they decide to do something "different" instead of "good" for the next one.

    Being a Nintendo fan through 2015-2016 was a true pilgrimage. Started with later known as Zelda BotW delayed to the next year, at the beginning of BOTH 2015 and 2016, Iwata passed away, numerous misfires on first party output, and we know the existence of NX since 2015 as well. And in 2016 it was seriously nothing, not saying the few games coming out to Wii U and more games on 3DS are bad but the entire atmosphere around Nintendo fans was just about "waiting for NX reveal". The E3 showing of BotW was awesome, but we also know it's not coming out in 2016. All of these finally come to an end when Nintendo tweet out about first look at NX.

    I got this 3DS shortly before the Switch was fully revealed. Back then, I was a stupid kid who didn't pay attention at all to what was going on video game news wise, and I was (and, still am, to an extent) totally fine with what nintendo was doing as I was someone who couldn't often tell a bad/boring nintendo game from a good one. I had gotten this New 3DS XL Model as a gift after my old 3DS XL model's circle pad fell off and the hinge started to crack. It felt really good to use an actual circle pad again and not the hard, sharp stick underneath and I also enjoyed having a variant rather than the base look of a console for once. All that said, no matter what anyone says, I will always cherish this 3DS model.

    Here’s what blows my mind. Scott is showing us what many consider one of Nintendo’s weakest years. But even when Nintendo was “phoning it in”, they still managed to release more games than we’ve been getting during peak Switch years. Just add up the Wii U and 3DS games and compare it to any year for the Switch. Nintendo collapsing their home and handheld software departments hasn’t resulted in more games for their single system.

    • @wesreleases6346
      @wesreleases6346 2 роки тому +5

      True, but they now don’t have the benefit of developing for a lower-power handheld. Every game is an HD console game. A 3DS game was always going to be easier to produce than a Switch game.

    Honestly, I really enjoyed this video of Scott just sitting down, and saying how things were with being a fan of Nintendo in 2016, with him just going through a bunch of the major games that were released then and synopsising each one. Frankly, I believe this could be a sort of series that could even be put on the main channel (much like the Switch years or E3 videos).
    I'd also really like to see Scott try and get into, or just understand, Fates, or Fire Emblem in general. That will be a fun derailing of Scott's mind.

Because even if the games were bad, they were complete, but there was droughts, but the switch has had a worse drought in 2020, no, the worst nintendo drought was the 2020 one.

It's hard enough to appreciate the designs on the Fire Emblem Fates limited edition because of the ivroy on white but and ebony on black but the high gloss makes every finger print and scuff so visible and looking at it in direct light source the thing just shines. Really wish they had it in matte.

    I think a great thought experiment would be trying to answer the question "What if the Switch failed and Nintendo had to go back to the 3DS?"
    My idea (which probably wouldn't have happened) is that Nintendo stockpiled Wii U ports on 3DS to keep it going. Switch continues for a few years until they announce the Next DS (I can't be clever enough to make an actual Nintendo name). I imagine they would just retool all the Switch guts to be in the Next DS but with the classic 2 screens and a full second circle pad. It would be backwards compatible with DS and 3DS so there would be an incredible backlog Day 1 plus rereleasing any other Wii U games on the eShop. THEN add another card slot for Switch games. Within the first few months, they'd put out a Zelda Collection. Ocarina of Time 3D, Majora's Mask 3D, A Link Between Worlds all playable anyway plus Wind Waker and Twilight Princess NDS. For extra compatibility, all Nintendo Bluetooth controllers pairable on Next DS and it comes with a grip with full triggers and back paddles. Maybe a dock sold separately for hardcore gamers but the system would be marketed like the DS and 3DS and Nintendo would stick to handhelds for awhile.
    None of this matters of course but it's just a fun idea.

So I was genuinely disappointed that the first switch reveal trailer was presented so elegantly with no kids or cringe in it lmao.

It was in a weird place where consumers both casual and hardcore were ready to move on, but Nintendo wasn’t ready to abandon it in case the Switch didn’t work out. The games were lots of remakes, ports, and compilations and a lot of them went under the radar because of that. In 2017 people wanted the 3DS to die but nowadays are ready to be more nostalgic about it.
