So many good games, I just got Nam 1975 snk, phantasy star, octopath traveller and mario odyssey cant wait to dive into these for the first time. Great vid btw, number 1 youtube channel in my opinion
I have code of princess on the 3ds. You are criminally underselling how good this game is. Quick story mode....but the variety of playable characters is insane. Its pick up and play bliss
Congratulations on your switch collection ! My switch collection is still growing as well. Smash ultimate, Zelda BOTW, Fate Extella Link, and Bayonetta 1-2 , Super Mario Odyssey , Street Fighter 2 Ultra the final Challengers , Bloodstained curse of the moon and many more to come!
I just wanted to send out a heartfilled thanks to you for your show. It always puts me in a great mood i love watching you and your friends and family and hearing about your memories and givin a platform for me to remember my own. My three closest videogamer friends i grew up with are no longer with me i lost my best friend and my brother in december of 2015 and my cousen is too into heroine now a days. Sadly i am the only one of the four of us that are keeping our videogames memories alive but through your show you make me feel like one of the guys and seeing you all interact brings back great memories for me thank you again man i love your show.

The Nintendo Switch is my favorite system of all time already just because it allows me to play games with my current lifestyle, plus its library of amazing games. Most of the games in this video are some of the greats, some that will go down in history as the greatest.
“King of the nerds for a day.” That made me smile. I love that image in my brain. I would love to see an updated switch collection now that it’s almost the end of its lifecycle!
Going to get a switch in a couple of months with Mario Oddysey,Zelda & Donkey Kong as my first 3 games. I am looking forward to more Luigis Mansion 3 news also The Messenger looks good too.
I too just needed BOTW. but after beating it, and having the DLC force me (or so I thought) to reset and loose EVERYTHING I got turned off. But its STILL a great play!
I used to watch your channel felt like almost 10 years ago, and also used to listen to the all gen gamers podcast as soon as they came out. I was only 13 and I'm almost 23 now but i'm glad your videos haven't changed. Also nice collection I just got back into playing games and the switch is a console i've been needing to pick up.
I just purchased a switch the other day, screen dock protector and Skyrim and smash bros. Glad you put this video out. I love watching collections and reviews.
You’re so lucky you never played Golf Story. I’m not a golf fan but this is one of the best games for the switch in general. I played the hell out of it. So creative and funny. So many games but no Taiko No Tatsujin? You should give it a try once. Best J-Pop soundtrack in a rhythm game ever.
Mario games get good grades because of nostalgia. They aren't as fun as before when we where kids with the n64. I can't play through them anymore. It's just to easy and for children. Tales of vesperia and persona 5 are really good and worth to buy. They are still excellent games for kids and deserve the grade but they should grade them separately for kids and for adults. Breath of fire awakening was something else. I loved it. Always will. Zelda series got a good balance between adults and kids.
My Switch library dwarfs my other console collections and even tops my other portables. The biggest game changer was the removal of region locking which means we've got access to numerous imports (digital & physical) many of which support English.
I totally agree with you on Arms. It seems to be a forgotten game from Nintendo on the Switch but it's really fun. I would love to see a cool story mode in a sequel
Hey man I wanted to say thanks for recommending Ys VIII on the switch. It went from a game I’ve never heard of to one of my favorite rpgs of all time. Cheers!
Johnny, you got an amazing Switch collection. From beginning to end, was great to hear your thoughts on each game, and I agree with you on a lot the titles you mentioned. Breath of the Wild is absolutely the best game, on the platform PERIOD. Thanks for the awesome video! 😃
My top 10 Switch games based on what I currently own: 10. The Longest Five Minutes 9. Super Mario Party 8. Super Smash Bros. Ultimate 7. Travis Strikes Again: No More Heroes 6. Valkyria Chronicles 4 5. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe 4. Octopath Traveler 3. Xenoblade Chronicles 2 2. Super Mario Odyssey 1. The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild
@@starknightlumina8680 that's so awesome! First game of the Ys series that got me into Ys was ark of napishtim back on the ps2 and I've been a hardcore ever since. :D
I was late to the party on the Switch and was not going to get one at all, it just didn't excite me. But it was getting loads of love on youtube, so I sold a bunch of games and bit the bullet and got one... and they are amazing. It's the console of choice for me these days, and same with Breath of the Wild... I was sick of Zelda, but again heard it was amazing so... picked it up and WOW! it's now one of my all time fav games! Great system for sure!
I used to play drums in a metal band so I thought gal metal would be right up my alley but the hit detection for your hits is absolutely broken. It also is super arbitrary what drum or cymbal you’ll hit. Sometimes your right hand acts as the pulse on a crash and sometimes it’s the snare. The only control mode that lets you access the whole kit is in touch screen mode and it’s very difficult to play like that.
I’m 39 and when I finished breathe of the wild I felt the exact same way meaning my favorite game of all time . It’s crazy but it really really is I totally agree 100 percent . Great video as always . Until next time 👈
I would love one day to have a conversation with Happy Console Gamer. I feel like it would be something so magical. Your passion is top notch! I love it!
You look like a fun guy, you earned a sub here! I kinda do the same thing, i want to have my own collection but only with games i enjoy. I don't care about quantity but quality.
i own a gameboy color, i bougth it back in the day for pokemon but apart from that i was never really a nintendo fan. i cant say now im a huge nintendo fan but i own a switch and i love it and i can apreciate nintendo quality. zelda botw really took me too in a way i wasnt expecting. it was a only game that captured the same feeling of exploration i had with skyrim. amazing game, i have huge expectation for the next main zelda game
Finally getting a Switch in a few weeks!! I was wanting to wait until the rumors of a new model was true around E3 time, but I can't wait any longer. Too many great games to ignore, and I just couldn't hold back the waiting anymore.
Legit trying to restrain myself from buying Thousand Year Door today. I’m trying to finish Tales of Vesperia on Switch (Thank you for the awesome recommendation by the way) and Sekiro comes out on Friday. I think I’ll just watch this to fulfill my urge lol.
There are so many great games on switch, with so many coming out later as well. I don’t have my collection with me at the moment but there are plenty of games in my library that I’d recommend that weren’t in this video, I’ll try and get it in later
I just found your videos and have really enjoyed them. ^-^ Also, just got a Switch and BoTW and Link's Awakening. I'm super excited to finally get to play these games. Wanna buy another but debating between Odyssey or Luigi's Mansion 3.
Last week i ordered some asian/japan exclusive retail compilation games: psikyo collection vol 1 and 2, phoenix wright ace attourney trilogy, darius cozmic collection. And i hope for even more compilation for the switch in the future.
Just beat YS VIII Lacrimosa of Dana on Switch the other day, fantastic game all around. The port job is pretty bad though honestly. The dynamic resolution scaling is so agressive that even in a static shot of characters talking around a campfire has the game visibly jumping between like 360 - 480p. No texture filtering, no anti-aliasing and the distance at which enemy animations are halved is so horribly short. Can't imagine the ps4 version has issues like that. I still loved it though. So it has that going for it.
The best Nintendo switch game to this day is still the legend of Zelda breath of the wild. I remember also buying Skyrim and I was just excited for Console games on the go. That’s all I really want from the switch and I’m kind of disappointed lately. I haven’t been playing at all. Even if they were to put boulder games from the PS3 and 360 on the switch I would be satisfied but these things are few and far between. Doom and Wolfenstein are impressive but I want more.
I thought golf story was digital only with the exception of limited run games but the local best buy near my house has physical copies of it. I missed out I already own it digitally
didn't know Ys 8 had a collectors edition for switch, the ps4 collectors edition was sold out when i tried to pre order. i love the Ys series and the sound tracks so i needed the collectors edition to add to my other collectors editions Ys games. in the end I had to order the steam copy collectors edition and preordered ps4 copy to make my own special edition set lol
Kw3str I also didn’t know Ys 8 has a collector’s edition for Switch and I didn’t know SNK 40th anniversary collection has a collector’s edition as well. We both learned our lesson.
@@drewroberts9488 Sure I could, but they are expensive, in bad condition and well.. as a gamer collector you certainly would love to have a collection of the stuff you are currently buying and playing
Another great episode, brother. I’ve been watching you within the first or second year you started. I also own your HCG: Movie. Awesome! I hope you see this, but I was wondering if you have or would be interested in doing an anime collection video. I’ve seen your anime videos, but would love to see your collection and more recommendations. Keep up the great work, brother.
That's the one thing I do find annoying that there are some great games overseas we're aren't getting here. Still at least with playasia you can get some of those games physically for a pretty reasonable price.
i noticed you didnt have a physical version of the world ends with you, not that the switch version is the best version, but have you played it? it is my all time favorite rpg.
Still not got mine... But when I eventually do, I'll be looking to pick up that TOKI game. I don't like the boring case spines though, it looks tidy I guess, but almost as boring as our PS2 spines here in UK. Megadrive, NES, SNES... Those shelves are a pleasure to look over, like looking at arcade marquees
Pretty much have every physical copy now including a lot of rare releases and imports. Between all the systems in the thousands last time I did a game room inventory check. Doing a big Switch Giveaway soon!!
I love my switch but I need to play it more. Im drowning in games though still play on my 3ds and I got tons of games for the xbox and ps4....lol but the switch is awesome!
Just wanted to say the joy you radiate when talking about games is infectious 💙
Joseph Calilung my thoughts exactly. Gets me so excited!
This is the reason why i feel he deserves way more subscribers so underrated
Love it!!!!!!!!
The perfect video for me right now having just got a Switch two weeks ago :) loving it so far
Awesome. Welcome and enjoy it!
Just got mine a month ago! I absolutely love it! And I already bought way too many games I'll probably never get to finish haha....lol
Welcome too the club mate enjoy it!
So many good games, I just got Nam 1975 snk, phantasy star, octopath traveller and mario odyssey cant wait to dive into these for the first time. Great vid btw, number 1 youtube channel in my opinion
#1 channel I agree!! My fav!!
I have code of princess on the 3ds. You are criminally underselling how good this game is. Quick story mode....but the variety of playable characters is insane. Its pick up and play bliss
5:35 Right there with you John, ARMS is criminally underrated, and it's probably one of the most accessible fighting games out there.
Xenoblade Chronicles 2 is my go-to game on the Switch, it's my favourite Switch game and became one of my favourites of all time. Great video!
The first one Story is better to me
@@johnlawful2272 Both are incredible games. The stories complement each other.
Thanks Johnny, I really needed one of your videos after a rough week at work.
Thanks Dan!

Your gonna like golf story. Its very light and pretty funny too and the actual golfing is really fun.
Always like my Sunday morning coffee with a HCG vid
I've been jonesing for another dose of Happy Console Gamer! Aww yeah... it feels good man!

I’m getting a Switch Lite soon with Witcher 3, Tales of Vesperia, and Crash N Sane Trilogy
Toki arcade is a slept on masterpiece!
I waited for this remake since 2009!!!!!
Its a shock that its officially released!

@@HappyConsoleGamer Awesome Switch collection Johnny. Cheers
I think you’d enjoy “Mario + Rabbids Kingdom Battle”. It is on sale every so often I was able to pick up a physical copy for $19.99
Your collection is awesome!!! I'm not a fan of Nintendo. I'm a Xbox fan. Love your collection so much. That Zelda game looks awesome.
all new content coming in expansions for star link,and you will also be able to play as the other star fox characters

Right on Lots of nice big box games.
Did you ever play Golf Story?

Zelda I put 200 + hours into it, just as Splatoon 2, this says something why this game is so good online.
It's rare now to see a Nintendo switch these days I saw 3 Nintendo switches at Walmart but didn't have the $ hopefully to get one this week
Octopath Traveller still holds dear to my heart ❣
Toki That takes me back. I spent a fortune on that game
Ys 8 is awesome. Awesome combat and special skills andfun progression building the gear and the firtress
Two important games are missing from the Street Fighter collection: Pocket Fighter and Puzzle Fighter
I had never heard of Gal Metal before, but I'm definitely interested in it now :D Thanks Johnny !

Still haven't got a Switch yet, I'm hoping I can still get all the games I want , which I think so , great video Johnny ;)
