Gaming Thoughts/Experiences/Questionable Opinions from a Nintendo-Centric Yooper
Sometimes scripted, other times not, just depends on the topic at hand

Oh hey, I guess you're still reading this! Brief history of the channel: I started back in 2013 just doing Let's Plays and "Anything Goes" types of videos. As I gained editing knowledge, those kinds of videos weren't as fun/fulfilling to make anymore, and the channel pivoted in late 2017 to talking about my thoughts/experiences with games and gaming hardware. I only did scripted stuff for a long while, but eventually in early 2022 I chose to let myself do some stuff unscripted to allow for more freedom, as not everything I wanted to talk about needed that level of production, as long as the topics still fit within the ethos of the channel. Old unlisted content is still available via the playlists tab if you're curious!

My Experience with the Switch ~ Jiozak
It's because the one who made the 3ds is dead, and the one who made the switch didn't think back. Such it is but 3ds wins everyday over switch. Hopefully switch 2 gets better as it has taken som critic of fans.
I just watched this video and it brings me back to the glory days of the 3ds when everyone had them, I remember like going out with it and everything. It was so fun to play with my brothers and family. And man I just got one now and I am stuck to it, can't even like lay it down after modding it. The 3ds is one of the best consoles not even joking, that was the best peak years of living. TY NINTENDO!
you deserve more subs man! You should do a video showing your modded 3ds menu (if you have a modded 3ds)
hmmmm i wonder what you did on september 2018 on the web
underated
Have your views evolved at all since making this? I genuinely think M&L combat is a flawed concept. If you can avoid all damage for free, why bother with limited-use super moves (MP in most RPGs)? The enemy can't hurt you and normal, free attacks will kill it eventually. Enemy formations/synergies? Who cares what they do: they can't touch you. Prioritising? See the above point. Items? You're not getting hurt. Ailments, buffs and debuffs? You'll win unscathed eventually anyway. See what I mean? Action commands, random encounters, etc. Those things have pros and cons, too. I'll spare you the details, though.
My views haven't changed, but that's because I've yet to try out more of the genre as a whole. To be honest, I've been thinking of doing that since the Golden Sun games came to NSO, but especially so since I've finished the TTYD remake and am aiming to go for 100% completion. I can see your reasoning in how the action command/counterattack system in M&L *could* trivialize a lot of what makes RPGs interesting to play for many people, but let's not forget that a part of any new M&L playthrough will have periods where you encounter new enemies, which you must learn their attacks/mannerisms, and you will inevitably take damage from during that learning stage due to lack of knowledge and poor timing on the button press(es). Earlier enemies will be easier to deal with, but later enemies/bosses may be harder to not just learn, but consistently perform dodges/counterattacks against. And because all unscripted damage *can* be avoided, that means later enemies can get away with dealing more damage in certain situations (outside of the thought of just normal stat balancing that all RPGs have to design for, in relation to the leveling up the player does during a playthrough). Because of this, items *are* useful to patch you up from rough fights, bros/special moves *are* useful to clear beefier foes quicker if you're having a hard time with their attacks, prioritizing *is* effective if a particular enemy in a fight is draining your HP. You *can* be untouchable, like what you were describing, but that's only if you're going into a playthrough with encyclopedic knowledge of *every* enemy attack, and can consistently dodge/counterattack like a TAS bot. Avoiding damage can be done for "free" only if you're already knowledgeable and skilled. If you're lacking in either of those departments, you're paying the price with your HP. Just because M&L gives you more agency in battles doesn't mean it's any easier, especially on a first playthrough.
@@Jiozak It certainly is easier, it's Mario, entry level stuff. My problem is that it ends up downplaying the genre's strengths... by letting you just ignore them with good reflexes. Anyway, I won't waste any more of your time, my views won't change and I imagine yours won't either x) That said, given your bad Pokémon experiences, you could try looking into Shin Megami Tensei, too. It also involves recruiting monsters to fight by your side. It's significantly better, though, but then again, the bar is very low ;)
Fun Fact: Mario RPG was made because RPG's weren't selling well in the west at the time.
I love the Mario RPG’s, it was my gateway to learning of the genre and how I fell in love with it but I hate how many times I’ve heard it repeated that they’re the pinnacle of the genre just because you can press some buttons when attacking. The generalization of the genre from your narrow field of experience prevents you from seeing the joy of strategizing and building your party members which the M&L games are lacking in, like as soon as you get the most powerful bros move available to you you’re just going to spam it. Paper Mario’s a lot more customizable with the badges and those are great but not near the level as other games. Fire Emblem is a series I fell in love with because of how addictive the class and skill mechanics are to build my ideal units. Plus this kind of attitude prevents you from experiencing some fantastic stories gaming has to offer. This is an action RPG but Xenoblade’s genuinely changed my worldview, multiple times and I wouldn’t have played it if I hadn’t broadened the scope of games I’m willing to play.
How do you get 300 hours in SM3DL and NSMB2 ? I didn't think there was that much content. Also how many 3ds consoles have you been through? That N3dsxl you have looks pretty pristine
I would just replay those games throughout the years, if I wanted to play something but didn't want to start anything new. I've owned 5 3DS systems, this SNES one I got after getting a switch, so it hasn't gotten as much use as my previous systems, but I still play it here and there
The Covert Dock 2 just got released and the OG is selling for $35 with or without the adapters! Im buying one
5:25 imagine playing Paper Mario and not use the quick switch badge lmao
TRUE. Also my guy had Dodge master with 2 HP plus badges. He had plenty for a 4 BP badge to use.
I misunderstood the title and thinked you would roast the mario rpgs, but it's the opposite and you even mentioned the best paper mario game bug flables. I'm sorry
No worries! To be honest, the titling/thumbnail for this video in particular was a big struggle with accurately portraying how i felt/feel while keeping it concise and clear. I've changed the title to better reflect that, and I'm gonna change the thumbnail when I get the chance here
Great video!
begging you try a jrpg that isnt pokemon or denpa men. theres so much to like in this genre and pokemon is not a good example of a jrpg as it is. play final fantasy 7.
Why you gotta dis 2 like that. I don’t think ditching the day limit was a bad call as you still are managing time. Pikmin 1 is my least favorite in the series.
how are motion control games with the fixture? i like motion controls and use them in handheld but having the screen actually lever away when i try to aim seems actually unbearable
Funnily enough, the fixture has been the only way I've been able to play Splatoon in handheld mode (while using motion aim) and actually perform competently in-game. Yes, you are dealing with the whole weight of the switch tablet being at the top of what you're holding on to, but the fact that your hands can be in that more traditional controller hold position while using an actual controller (which is kinda the whole reason why the fixture works to begin with, as it helps with weight distribution) has legitimately made splatoon playable in handheld mode for me. I have my motion sensitivity up in splatoon, so I don't have to move the controller as much, but overall the fixture doesn't really shift the position of the screen just by using motion controls, maybe if you're really whipping the controller around it might cause the screen to shift, but it does seem to just stay in the position you set it to That being said, ymmv for the fixture just in general if you lack basic hand grip strength. You don't have to work out or anything to use it, but yes you'll need to be able to hold a heavier object than if you're just playing the stock handheld switch
Maan, I'm sure it works but it looks like something that will burn your house down :D
How is this so underrated? Incredibly useful stuff, my guy. I wish there were more videos like these on RUclips.
Great video. I think Concentration Training is a life changing piece of software.
how does this channel only have 436 subs this video is amazing
Uploads are very consistent
Uploads are inconsistent is what I meant
4 MILLION?? i don't even think i could get 1 million if i tried, that's dedication if i've ever seen it.
They've had it for more then decade so they had time to get 4 million steps
Thank you so much for making this video!!! 😍😍 this is super great! Impressive Library as well! Really like nerding with something like this as Switch doesn't have a similar feature 😅
This is the best Brain Age retrospective I've seen, I just installed Concentration Training and I'm really enjoying it. I've been looking a lot into Kawashima and he's an interesting dude. I wish more of his findings were public, especially about concentration training and the N-Back exercises
I thought blue pikmin had a mouth this whole time not a gill 😂
No Hey! Pikmin, based
Why yes i DID record the whole voice over in one sitting, making my voice progressively more tired! Yeah i kinda put that off recording it later than i should've, meaning this whole thing was edited within the past 2 and a half weeks lol Happy Holidays!!
In Devilish Listening, he suggests to *do it with your eyes closed*
by the logic that you can get sued for liking math, i would also get sued to kingdom come 😂
The ultimate Dandori Mario game.
Never really thought about it like that, and I just marathon-ed the 4 mainline Pikmin games this summer! If we wanna take that thought further, rolling a fresh set of courses is almost like the caves from Pikmin 2 that generate differently every run, and replaying a saved record for a better score is like playing 3's missions/4's dandori challenges
This is honestly what made the game for me. I remember playing main story and feeling disappointed in its sameness to the last 3 Mario releases. But the DLC honestly gave the game a whole new feel for it that was really exciting to play. You really had to make quick decisions like “Is it worth spending time here? Or could there be more coins down the level?” lol really fun. Great video
I'm pretty much in the same boat as you when it comes to turn-based combat. Mario & Luigi: Partners in Time was my very first RPG, so I was expecting action commands to be standard for turn-based combat. But then I play Final Fantasy VII for the first time, and I find out the hard way that said action commands don't exist in that game. (or most turn-based RPGs for that matter) So yeah, the Mario RPGs pretty much spoiled turn-based combat for me as well. That being said, have you ever played any Action-RPGs? Not every RPG uses turn-based combat. There are also a lot of RPGs that use real-time combat where you have full control over the character's movement and actions, hence the term "Action-RPG." I would highly recommend trying out the Kingdom Hearts series. It uses real-time combat, and you can actually dodge and block attacks with good timing. :)
This was my least favorite act out of the entire game honestly, I had to activate assist mode just so I could beat it. Even the death wishes weren’t as cruel as this
Yes, the footage in this video is from the Switch version of AHIT - Yes it runs at a lower resolution/capped at 30 FPS, but it's not terrible (i did record at 1080p/60, to clarify). Occasionally, on the switch version, you will have to deal with the game just straight up freezing for 3-6 seconds, longer load times, and lower performance, but it's not horrid if that's the way you wanna go. If any of those are deal breakers, it's on Playstation, Xbox, and Steam which all perform much better. Just play the game anyway you can, I slept on it for years and I'm kinda kicking myself for not playing it sooner tbh
I use the switch for a home system and take my vita for traveling.
I'm for pineapples on my political system.
You don't "own" anything digital, you just rent the stuff for as long as those servers are up.
So true. I have like 310 hours in this game, so I'd definitely say money was well spent. I actually 100%'ed this game twice because I had to switch user accounts.
Penny's Theme >>> Ashley's Theme
so true
I got my games more digital but I do get single player games physical and also try to at least get one version of the pokemon games physical as well since I now collect both versions of the pokemon games and I have another switch as well for that
The nice thing about the switch is that you don't have to download the games from the card on the switch, unlike with the BS Sony does
I did not realize Godmode9 screen brightness was controlled by the volume slider, thank you for sharing this! Subscription added
I love the Super 64 DS as it's my childhood
Most of my Nintendo Switch games are becoming digital and i got my 512GB arriving tomorrow. I don't like carrying little game cartridges then ended up lost, stolen or forgotten yo return to me
I bought one of these a couple of years ago... Whilst it never killed either of my switches (original or OLED) it did eventually stop working. It would power the switch without issue but it stopped outputting via HDMI. A bit of research online suggested that leaving this dock plugged in with their own shadowcast peripheral overheated the HDMI connection. Would I buy it again... Possibly but I think a better alternative is to buy a second hand official dock and reshell it with a smaller more portable shell. The other downside is that you end up using longer cables which isn't as neat and compact as the design implies.
Wheres the Link?
They are both good.
As a certified Run Button Hater, I think the reason some people only complain about it in 64DS is because the walk speed is SO slow. I personally dislike the run button in all games and don't care for 2D Mario as a whole as a result, but I have played them enough to say that the base speed is a little more reasonable in the NES games. I think we're FAR overdue for a version of this game with the smooth controls of the original and all the improvements of DS. It's only one of the most influential video games of all time; it deserves to be perfect. Then nobody will have to fight anymore :) Side note: Your video quality is really good for only having a few hundred subs!
I actually mentioned wanting what would basically be a remake of 64 DS with proper analogue controls in the script originally, but ended up cutting it for one reason or another. It really does suck that there isn't an objectively (official) best way to play the game :/ Thanks for the compliment! I've technically been doing videos for over a decade at this point, tho I started out with let's plays, eventually I wanted to pivot to "essay"/discussion-esk content, as LPs weren't fun/creatively fulfilling for me anymore (and is why they're unlisted, but still accessible via the playlists tab on the channel lol)
