Brooooo I was in class, bur the teacher wouldn’t really care. But the class room had really terrible signal. So I had a hard time getting to even watch it.
You guys know that part in the Switch announcement when we first saw Mario Odyssey? Yeah, I just played that level for the first time at a Target today exactly 1 year after seeing that level for the first time. And today at school there was one class where we didn’t have much work to do so when we finished our work I split the Joycons and we played Mariokart in class. Those two things were both things I could’ve only dreamed exactly one year ago.
Trunk Fresh Green 34 Here I'll summarize. $300.00 for a fuckeing tablet? F Nintendo. I wish they'd go 3rd party. PC IS GOD Nintendo drones you will be crying buckets when Xbox X comes out. So many games. Scalebound and Crackdown 3 will be amazing. And I get to play them next year. Nintendo will never get games. 3rd party will never come to Nintendo. Doom on Switch yeah right. This console will FLOP. Wii U 2 There did I miss anything?
Remember Gamexplain had about 20 videos about the 6 seconds of Mario footage with all of the theorising and ideas. Ah the nostalgia. And now, a year later the full game is coming out with more info than we could ever dream of back a year ago. Well played Nintendo. Kept us on our toes for a full year and we never lost interest in those sweet six seconds of awesomeness
Time flies, that's for sure! I remember all that hype, and I have my console already since march. '_' I think it went so fast because they announced the Switch and RELEASED IT in less than 6 months. Normally, it takes more than a year between the console announcement and it's release. Maybe that's why we're finding it so strange.

It was clever in that their many handheld buyers and their far less predictable number of home console buyers are now merged in to one, giving them a higher market share in home consoles again and more time to make certain games. However - I think that the Switch is a relatively unimpressive home system compared to the WiiU. To be an impressive one, it would allow grander games in the home by having the dock actually supply extra graphical power and allow the Switch itself to be used as a second screen like the WiiU does. It would also have better designed joycons with larger, textured, joysticks, a D Pad, and larger buttons. Like the original Wii, they made another system for kids and casuals! The high scoring Super Mario Odyssey deserves to be played on a more well made console.
I was actually one of those people who thought Odyssey would be Galaxy 3, mainly because of the huge moon that was in the background. I'm glad to see that's not the case, since I didn't want a Galaxy 3 to begin with like many people did.
I was in the Philippines when they revealed the Switch. Think it was the same day as my grandma's funeral, so it was a good thing that cheered me up that day.
YourPalHDee Oh no she was cremated. The main urn is with my family in Bulacan, Philippines. I have a necklace that contains some of her ashes, and ever since I wear it everyday.
And to this very day, I still don't have a Switch. But anyways, it sort of blew my mind that time passed so fast. My friends and I was in Biology and we watched the trailer together as soon as it was posted. Ahhhh the good ol times
I remember eating breakfast at my college’s dining hall while watching the reveal. Damn man it all feels like yesterday. I currently have Botw, ARMS, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, 1-2 Switch, Mario + Rabbids, Pokken Tournament DX, Fast RMX, and Splatoon 2 (which i actually don’t play as often)
Spring Man We almost have the same games lol is Splatoon 2 campaign any good? Is the game worth buying? I think 60 bucks for that game is too much, however I did enjoy the multilayer but I can't buy a 60 dollar game for multilayer alone.
Donkey Kong Fan What do you mean not really? You have hundreds of dollars worth of pocket change lying around? I’m lucky if I have like $20 lying around and I have a job.
I am not a console person i play on PC. I used to have PSP which i use to loved. I was looking forward to PS vita but it wasnt what i was expecting it. Then out of no where this trailer popped up on my youtube first 40 sec and i was like WTF ... WTH... WHAT THE .. is this thing for real? or a concept video?. it was exactly what i wanted. I got it in first month or so and love it to bits!
I got the switch around July 10th purely for Splatoon 2, but I've loved every minute. I had NO idea it has been this long. And props to Nintendo for making the Switch able to stay fresh and practically new for practically a year
Its already been 1 year? what the fuck happened this whole time? oh, right... The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild happened, Buy a Nintendo Switch for $299/399 and a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for $59/79 TODAY!
Victor Rivadeneyra The sheer amount of ports for the Switch drives me crazy too. I'd rather Smash Bros 5 in several years time than hold on to the past and for goodness sake, CHANGE GANONDORF!!!
I still remember being indifferent about the Switch during that first reveal trailer. It wasn't until the Switch event that followed a couple of months later that I was sold on the Switch completely. Glad I got one now. It's gonna be a busy couple of months with all the good games coming out the rest of the year...
The first day I opened and played the Switch was on launch day at night after coming back from Emerald City Comic-Con Day 1. On Day 2, I took it with me and keep playing Breath of the Wild on the go. It was a good experience for me as a gamer and I’m still enjoying it now as I’m playing Fire Emblem Warriors.
My only concern is, where do they go from here? There's inevitably going to be more Nintendo consoles in the future, but I just can't think of any new concept that would be better than what the Switch has brought. It's just perfect. There's virtual reality, but right now it's fairly niche and early days; however, the Switch does have VR capabilities noted in its patent, so it has _that_ covered too.
I got that shit day 1 March 3rd. Wait was painstaking, but when I got it home for the first time I was in awe. I always have that "new product excitement" but this was different. Sliding those Joy Con in for the first time and booting it up to that insta-classic Switch sound made me orgasm with delight.
I remember feeling very impressed not just with the concept of the system during its reveal, but much like Derek, I thought the presentation itself was pretty slick and that "Nintendo is cool now" what with the settings, the music, the actors. They've really put a lot into how they think about selling the system and their brand, and as amazing as the Switch is (I already have a 5+ game backlog), I think neither it or the vast overhauls to their IP conventions (a very open-world Zelda and less formulaic 3D Mario, for example) would have been possible if not for Nintendo's new cool, modern, and above all, receptive stance. That to me is incredibly exciting/refreshing to see. This hype train is gonna keep on rollin'! Now leaving Fire Emblem: Warriors Junction. Next stop, Mario Odyssey Blvd., followed by DOOM Ave., and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Plaza!
Loving my Switch. I play 90% in Handheld mode in my room, too lazy to place it in the dock next room but can you blame me? That room doesn't have AC and my room does and it's greeeeeeat
Remember when everyone was freaking out about the Switch (then NX) skipping E3? Saying that Nintendo was “doomed” and “shooting themselves in the foot” for waiting so long to reveal it? That was funny. Actually, I guess those people WERE right about the “Doom” part 😂
The marketing and advertising of the Nintendo Switch with TV commercials for every game left and right, having high quality big games (1st party and 3rd party games and indie games) releasing each month, Nintendo carefully listening to the fans and developers feedbacks/responses, etc is definitely why the Switch is super popular/successful and selling out everywhere especially in Japan with many stores having Switch's in stock just in time for the newer games and for the holiday season, and for whats to come in 2018.
I agree with everything you guys said. I didn't think I would use the handheld form of the Switch either, but now I use it for things like on my bus ride to work or when I am watching something on TV, such as wrestling, and play it while commercials are on.
Maybe people want to watch these things on bigger screens, without lugging their laptop around. I'd personally love to take it to my bedside, use it's stand and let Netflix play while sitting on my nightstand while I lay down. Can't fit my Laptop on there, and I'd have to lug the TV tray in there with it. There's lots of reasons Switch needs those services.
SharkXOmega Actually, most modern TVs already have these programs built into them, most recognizable are Yotube, Netflix, and Hulu, along with some more and sometimes other things like music programs. Not to mention that specifically RUclips has a feature that allows you to veiw most videos on TV via Bluetooth connection. So really, having most of these things on Switch don't really matter nowadays.
Or a 33 year old who...also doesn't have a TV, or ever even seen a TV that supports that. AND it goes against my earlier argument of lugging around a laptop, but in this case, it would be lugging around a larger, heavier TV. So...my point still stands. And to shut down the most common argument, most people aren't rich, so they can't afford tablets, nor do they have a reason to get one. Yes I can watch Netflix and RUclips and such conveniently on a larger screened handheld, but that's it. With a Switch, I SHOULD be able to do those things, AND play video games on it. Not going to buy, or afford a tablet just to do those basic things that the Switch shouldn't have any trouble doing as well anyway. While it was dumb to not have these things at launch, it wasn't the biggest deal given their pathetic, but somewhat understandable excuse, until it became over half a year since launch, and Nintendo refuses to add them. Hell, even Netflix said last month that the Netflix app has been ready for the Switch for a while, but it's been over a month, and Nintendo STILL refuses to add Netflix to the Switch.
I will say that I have used the kickstand. When my niece was born, I went to visit my brother and his wife every evening while they were there recovering. I brought my Switch to give him something to relax with and you know what we did? I propped it up on a table, popped off the Joy-Con and we played FAST RMX. Now we couldn't play that way at higher speeds than subsonic but it was great fun and extremely impressive. And I've used it a few times since. So I have found use for it.
I'm a nurse and an Landscape photographer. This year, gaming has dominated ALL my time and I felt bad I've hardly taken any photos but then I realized this has been one of the best gaming years ever! I spent 300 in breath of the Wild alone in two back to back playthroughs. The thing that surprised me most about the switch is how comfortable it feels in handheld mode. I never felt the need to really dock it. But I waaaaaaaant to connect my Bluetooth headphones!! Please Nintendo!!!
I use the portable mode almost 80% of the time because I trouble focusing on a whole tv for very long, having the smaller closer screen was really helpful to me, and allows me to play games I wouldn't be able to otherwise when relying on only portable consoles.
I remember getting to school early just to watch that trailer because my classes didn’t start until 9:30 and my school was 30 minutes away. The internet wasn’t very good, but I saw it at that time.
When it was revealed I was obsessed. I just wanted time to jump to Jan for the press event and release date reveal. Then to March 3rd. Then spent 18 hrs waiting in line for the midnight launch. I was actually at the NYC Nintendo store launch. It was fun though. Met other gamers and received some Nintendo freebies. Finally got my Switch and Zelda BOTW and played it non-stop for weeks. What a crazy long year.
Actually some ideas like mario interacting with realistic people was in one of the early builds of mario sunshine. the gamecube was a system full of new ideas for nintendo, they really went out there on some concepts and im so happy they are finally continuing that with the switch.
I had a switch of wich i shared with my sister and we both paid half of the cost, recently we saw another switch at a store so we put it on hold for the next week so now we each will have our own switches and i can finally take my switch wherever i go, and now that you can tranfer users to another switch and mario odessy is coming out the day i get my own switch its the perfect time for me, good luck to anyone still trying to get a switch.
The reason it's not a handheld, is because is a "home console you can take on the go, not a handheld you can connect to a tv." Most games don't really use the touch screen...just in case you wanna go tv mode.
Calling it now, November or December, they will have a Nintendo direct (more than likely December because it’s after both xenoblade and odyssey). This will focus on a year in review for the switch and what is coming in the future for it, similar for the direct they had before the switch released. I will be a large event giving us Metroid, Kirby, and Yoshi, hype up a large amount of indie titles, and towards the end we will get a virtual console announcement. We will see some cool, GB and GBA titles, likely including Ruby and Sapphire, Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, and maybe even mega man Zero. After those announcements, to really hype up fans, we will get two announcements. First, will here the Onett theme. This will last roughly about 10 seconds. After you will see fade in game play from mother 1, then Earthbound, and finally Earthbound 3. Then we will see the three games gameplay side by side while in front we see Earthbound Trilogy appear on the screen. The announcer will begin to sign off when you hear a loud crash in the background. The announcer panics and says someone seems to have entered the studio. Mario appears and knocks the announcer off screen, then running off himself, Link, Pikachu, and Samus in hot pursuit. Suddenly the backdrop crumbles to reveal a black screen, then suddenly you hear that familiar sound of metal when the Smash bros logo appears on the screen, a second later becoming the 0 in 2018
The Nintendo Switch Reveal, huh? That was when we couldn't do a big region wide literacy test, so everyone went home. I watched it then, became painfully hyped, and then waited for more info. Now I've just documenting the whole Switch thing and seeing it play out. It's been...a interesting experience. :)
I remember I told my teacher I had to take a shit in order just to watch the trailer of the switch
I skipped classes that day, lol
Brooooo I was in class, bur the teacher wouldn’t really care. But the class room had really terrible signal. So I had a hard time getting to even watch it.
I remember getting lunch, and the first thing i did when i sat down was watch the trailer.
I had just got home from class and I immediately rushed to their RUclips channel to watch it. I was moving like lightning. That was an exciting day!
The teacher played the trailer for us to analyze who its marketed to.I was surprised everyone was so interested. Marketing was something
It's been a year since we first saw Odyssey and thought:
New 3D Mario?
Galaxy 3?
Next Big Mario?
Ahh...just 7 more days...
I tought that it's a new Mario 3d game too.
It feels like way less than a year. Honestly I had to realize that it was October before I really thought about how fast time seemed to be moving.
Cap'nCinnamonBun Omg, why are you everywhere I am?
I completely agree with you. Heck even the wireless HDMI NX rumors seem recent to me, and they were put out 2 years ago
I know, right? It feels like it's been... 3 months at most.
Cap'nCinnamonBun Meanwhile I always feel like time's going slow
You guys know that part in the Switch announcement when we first saw Mario Odyssey? Yeah, I just played that level for the first time at a Target today exactly 1 year after seeing that level for the first time.
And today at school there was one class where we didn’t have much work to do so when we finished our work I split the Joycons and we played Mariokart in class.
Those two things were both things I could’ve only dreamed exactly one year ago.
Wow...a full year, time to go back and watch the trailer, the reactions, and the rants about the Switch 1 year ago
Korok #758 Time to do a marathon lol
Trunk Fresh Green 34 Here I'll summarize.
$300.00 for a fuckeing tablet? F Nintendo. I wish they'd go 3rd party.
PC IS GOD
Nintendo drones you will be crying buckets when Xbox X comes out. So many games. Scalebound and Crackdown 3 will be amazing. And I get to play them next year.
Nintendo will never get games. 3rd party will never come to Nintendo. Doom on Switch yeah right.
This console will FLOP. Wii U 2
There did I miss anything?
Yeah, the pre-launch of the Switch was not all roses and rainbows. There were so many pessimistic assholes at that time.
You guys are forgetting, "the kickstand is terrible"
Especially the rants are fun
Remember Gamexplain had about 20 videos about the 6 seconds of Mario footage with all of the theorising and ideas. Ah the nostalgia. And now, a year later the full game is coming out with more info than we could ever dream of back a year ago. Well played Nintendo. Kept us on our toes for a full year and we never lost interest in those sweet six seconds of awesomeness
Who here owns a Nintendo Switch and feels like the year went by fast?
BloonH8TR meeee
BloonH8TR me
Me
Me. Yeah, the year flew by quick. :P
me
Time flies, that's for sure!
I remember all that hype, and I have my console already since march. '_'
I think it went so fast because they announced the Switch and RELEASED IT in less than 6 months.
Normally, it takes more than a year between the console announcement and it's release.
Maybe that's why we're finding it so strange.

Kevin Ramirez wow
There's more games that have already released, such as the Touhou but those are mostly just footnotes really
And Xbox and PS kiddies say the switch has no games
Kevin Ramirez we dont know if its smt v yet, though its very likely
Kevin Ramirez wow. That looks like about double the wiiu roster in only like 1/4 of the time
Nintendo: we gotta conquer either the home console or the portible console market... how about both? -holds a switch-
It was clever in that their many handheld buyers and their far less predictable number of home console buyers are now merged in to one, giving them a higher market share in home consoles again and more time to make certain games.

The high scoring Super Mario Odyssey deserves to be played on a more well made console.
Who else forgot about the car adapter in the reveal trailer?
Aram Reich If Nintendo made it, it would be like $30. Ebay should have it.
Has it seriously been a year already!? Holy crap...how time flies by...
Slobertooth 13 it doesn't even feel like it has been a year
IKR..... it’s scary XD
8 months, i beleive
Slobertooth 13 not really? It's not a year for a release but I guess for the reveal
It feels like it was just yesterday.
Remember when people thought that Odyssey was Galaxy 3?
Love you Dad.
Enclosed Grand Dad I thought it was "7 Grand Dad Sports Resort Deluxe".
I was actually one of those people who thought Odyssey would be Galaxy 3, mainly because of the huge moon that was in the background. I'm glad to see that's not the case, since I didn't want a Galaxy 3 to begin with like many people did.
Enclosed Grand Dad yeah xD
Enclosed Grand Dad So glad it wasn’t, never really liked the Galaxy Games.
It's been one year and Karren still hasn't returned from that rooftop party.
Sir Piguithy I really don't know who is she
😂😂😂
Vortex Luigi Rosalina 55 it's inside joke from last year Gamexplain video discussion, I believe.
C.D. Riley oh
Lol the rooftop party was the stupidest thing from the video...
Hey, happy announcement birthday, Switch!
*makes click noise*
Me too! I love that sound, and I usually pause my game too make the click! It's so satisfying!
Remember when we first saw splatoon 2 people thought it was a port at first
well it was originally going to b a port but the devs decided to make it into a whole new game.
Guilty.
I refuse to believe it's already been a year. It feels like just yesterday that we still only knew it as the NX.
Chandler Farmer when are we getting the NX anyway
Chandler Farmer I’m pretty sure it was yesterday
I was in the Philippines when they revealed the Switch. Think it was the same day as my grandma's funeral, so it was a good thing that cheered me up that day.
Rylade475 sorry about your grandma that would cheer me up too
Sorry about your grandma man 🙁 but at least the switch reveal managed to cheer you up
YourPalHDee Oh no she was cremated. The main urn is with my family in Bulacan, Philippines. I have a necklace that contains some of her ashes, and ever since I wear it everyday.
So how am I gonna celebrate this one year anniveversary?
I know! I’ll buy a Switch!
Edit: And now I got it. Woot.
Jonathan Arevalo better hurry!!
Has it really? Damn, that fucked me up. I do NOT remember it as being a year ago. I thought that this happened in like, early to mid 2017.
Max Moroney that was the press event
Who here got the switch? And pre-ordered Super Mario Odyssey? Which is coming out next week! Hype train!
Nedson Monteiro day 1, still play it
Nathan nice, my friend just got it too
Nedson Monteiro you just? What do you think?
Btw my fc is SW-3440-0921-6625
Nathan nah I'm talkin about my friend. He just got a switch. I been have one. I got it on the release of Mario kart 8 deluxe
Nedson Monteiro Oh cool! I know like 2 people that have it but play to themselves
Would be cool to play with them
And to this very day, I still don't have a Switch. But anyways, it sort of blew my mind that time passed so fast. My friends and I was in Biology and we watched the trailer together as soon as it was posted. Ahhhh the good ol times
Fox If it's because of stock, they seemed to have gotten the supply back under control since the launch of the iPhone 8.
I remember eating breakfast at my college’s dining hall while watching the reveal. Damn man it all feels like yesterday. I currently have Botw, ARMS, Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario Kart 8 Deluxe, 1-2 Switch, Mario + Rabbids, Pokken Tournament DX, Fast RMX, and Splatoon 2 (which i actually don’t play as often)
Physical or Digital?
Spring Man
We almost have the same games lol is Splatoon 2 campaign any good? Is the game worth buying? I think 60 bucks for that game is too much, however I did enjoy the multilayer but I can't buy a 60 dollar game for multilayer alone.
A bunch of Reactions to the switch revealed popped in my recommended today.
Bagel Man I hate reaction videos
terraghost good for you, but was that comment necessary?
MasqueradeKitsune nothing is necessary
Same, it seems RUclips wants to promote the 1 yeah hype
I'm so early, the video can't even load. HAHA
That was me too LOL.
The X Reviewer SAME
What a year it’s been!
Remember all those fake NX rumors and Emily Rogers?
I'm watching this on my Wii U browser, where is your browser switch users? huh?! HA!
.

I WANT A SWITCH BUT IT'S SO EXPENSIVE WHERE I LIVE AAAA
Androzz Senpai dafuq you live at
The Switch is expensive everywhere tho
How are you chating
Reshiramax Not really.
Donkey Kong Fan What do you mean not really? You have hundreds of dollars worth of pocket change lying around? I’m lucky if I have like $20 lying around and I have a job.
It's been a year since my mind was blown
Proto Propski r.i.p
I am not a console person i play on PC. I used to have PSP which i use to loved. I was looking forward to PS vita but it wasnt what i was expecting it. Then out of no where this trailer popped up on my youtube first 40 sec and i was like WTF ... WTH... WHAT THE .. is this thing for real? or a concept video?. it was exactly what i wanted. I got it in first month or so and love it to bits!
I got the switch around July 10th purely for Splatoon 2, but I've loved every minute. I had NO idea it has been this long. And props to Nintendo for making the Switch able to stay fresh and practically new for practically a year
1 year since Mario odyssey was technically announced. Now only 6 days away. This is the game I've been the most hyped about ever!
I'll always remember the hype train man.
#NeverForget
Its already been 1 year? what the fuck happened this whole time? oh, right... The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild happened, Buy a Nintendo Switch for $299/399 and a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild for $59/79 TODAY!
Stacona #Notsponsered
Wtf dude? You paid 79$ for zelda?
Gilad welcome to Canada
Renter 112 switch is region free. Just order from abroad, or if the postage is too expensive just buy it in the american eshop for the retail price.
That wouldn't change anything Canadians dollars are worth less than American he would pay the same price
The Switch is cool and all... but Nintendo still hasn’t revealed the NX.
Medicine Ballers We'll see the NX reveal later down the road, possibly 2021 or 2025?
Medicine Ballers
The NX is the Switch. That's probably the joke but still.
Jojohallbrook I don't think so. Actually I fell they have totally forgot about that NX... Really a shame...
Victor Rivadeneyra
The sheer amount of ports for the Switch drives me crazy too. I'd rather Smash Bros 5 in several years time than hold on to the past and for goodness sake, CHANGE GANONDORF!!!
NX was just the code name for the switch
I still remember being indifferent about the Switch during that first reveal trailer. It wasn't until the Switch event that followed a couple of months later that I was sold on the Switch completely. Glad I got one now. It's gonna be a busy couple of months with all the good games coming out the rest of the year...

It was a good experience for me as a gamer and I’m still enjoying it now as I’m playing Fire Emblem Warriors.
Ah, the memories of waiting anxiously waiting for the switch to release
Too think, just a year ago, on every Nintendo related thread/video/etc, all people did were just spam "where is the nx". Crazy times
Yeah but where is the nx now though? What happened?
5:10-5:21 Anyone else waiting for this attachment release?! Seriously thought it was super cool. Vanagon is dope as well!
Wow, I remember first time I saw the trailer I was excited. I started saving up for the switch and other accessaries the following months.
My only concern is, where do they go from here? There's inevitably going to be more Nintendo consoles in the future, but I just can't think of any new concept that would be better than what the Switch has brought. It's just perfect. There's virtual reality, but right now it's fairly niche and early days; however, the Switch does have VR capabilities noted in its patent, so it has _that_ covered too.

That to me is incredibly exciting/refreshing to see.
This hype train is gonna keep on rollin'! Now leaving Fire Emblem: Warriors Junction. Next stop, Mario Odyssey Blvd., followed by DOOM Ave., and Xenoblade Chronicles 2 Plaza!
Loving my Switch. I play 90% in Handheld mode in my room, too lazy to place it in the dock next room but can you blame me? That room doesn't have AC and my room does and it's greeeeeeat
Remember when everyone was freaking out about the Switch (then NX) skipping E3? Saying that Nintendo was “doomed” and “shooting themselves in the foot” for waiting so long to reveal it? That was funny. Actually, I guess those people WERE right about the “Doom” part 😂
It's already been a year!?!? Man time flies, guess that happens when you own an awesome console/handheld like the switch.
When are we getting that car thing at 1:42 though Nintendo
I was hoping for this video!!
The marketing and advertising of the Nintendo Switch with TV commercials for every game left and right, having high quality big games (1st party and 3rd party games and indie games) releasing each month, Nintendo carefully listening to the fans and developers feedbacks/responses, etc is definitely why the Switch is super popular/successful and selling out everywhere especially in Japan with many stores having Switch's in stock just in time for the newer games and for the holiday season, and for whats to come in 2018.
1 year? I feel old now.
13:09 Who was racing on this match? I feel this should be brought up on the next discussion
Remember that one rumor for NX being that weird football-shaped thing?
hell yeah, time flies
Lol i love the Josh Thomas jabs around 32:49 😂
Is it possible to make a Nintendo Switch(with colored Joy Con) controller cake?
Waheed Abdullah no
James Stirling lol
Yes!
Totally!
Yeah, iJustine made a Nintendo Switch cake with colored Joy-Cons on her channel!!!
I agree with everything you guys said. I didn't think I would use the handheld form of the Switch either, but now I use it for things like on my bus ride to work or when I am watching something on TV, such as wrestling, and play it while commercials are on.
One year since the reveal, and STILL no word on Netflix, RUclips, or Hulu.. Thanks Nintendo...
Maybe people want to watch these things on bigger screens, without lugging their laptop around. I'd personally love to take it to my bedside, use it's stand and let Netflix play while sitting on my nightstand while I lay down. Can't fit my Laptop on there, and I'd have to lug the TV tray in there with it. There's lots of reasons Switch needs those services.
SharkXOmega Actually, most modern TVs already have these programs built into them, most recognizable are Yotube, Netflix, and Hulu, along with some more and sometimes other things like music programs. Not to mention that specifically RUclips has a feature that allows you to veiw most videos on TV via Bluetooth connection. So really, having most of these things on Switch don't really matter nowadays.
Christian G. Unless you are a kid that doesn't have a tv that supports that (cough) me (cough)
Or a 33 year old who...also doesn't have a TV, or ever even seen a TV that supports that. AND it goes against my earlier argument of lugging around a laptop, but in this case, it would be lugging around a larger, heavier TV. So...my point still stands.
And to shut down the most common argument, most people aren't rich, so they can't afford tablets, nor do they have a reason to get one. Yes I can watch Netflix and RUclips and such conveniently on a larger screened handheld, but that's it. With a Switch, I SHOULD be able to do those things, AND play video games on it. Not going to buy, or afford a tablet just to do those basic things that the Switch shouldn't have any trouble doing as well anyway. While it was dumb to not have these things at launch, it wasn't the biggest deal given their pathetic, but somewhat understandable excuse, until it became over half a year since launch, and Nintendo refuses to add them. Hell, even Netflix said last month that the Netflix app has been ready for the Switch for a while, but it's been over a month, and Nintendo STILL refuses to add Netflix to the Switch.
You just love being negative, don't you?
I will say that I have used the kickstand. When my niece was born, I went to visit my brother and his wife every evening while they were there recovering. I brought my Switch to give him something to relax with and you know what we did? I propped it up on a table, popped off the Joy-Con and we played FAST RMX. Now we couldn't play that way at higher speeds than subsonic but it was great fun and extremely impressive. And I've used it a few times since. So I have found use for it.
The Switch is shaping out to be my favorite console of all time, and I’m extremely excited to see what comes next.
Wow time flies I remember I was losing it when I saw the trailer last year I've been loving this thing ever since I purchased it at March 3rd.
I wanna go to a cool roof top party :-/
EPS5000 the question is where
Vortex Luigi Rosalina 55 new donk city? ;)
It's stops being cool when Karen gets there and makes everyone play her stupid new game.
2:43 Is it just me or does that Switch look like it doesn't have the logo on the back?
Holy shit! One year already?? Damn...
1:40 I need this accessory, I'm going on a road trip in December so this I need for multi-player with my siblings
BloonH8TR is this released yet?
BloonH8TR I need it now
Gengavari Not sure
BloonH8TR i looked on Amazon there are some but no official ones
Gengavari Thanks for that but sang not official, odd how they show it but don't have it
I remember waking up and watching relaxalax live stream of it so hype
kuko0306 yo that live stream was hype as fuck
keybladelovers true
I'm a nurse and an Landscape photographer. This year, gaming has dominated ALL my time and I felt bad I've hardly taken any photos but then I realized this has been one of the best gaming years ever! I spent 300 in breath of the Wild alone in two back to back playthroughs. The thing that surprised me most about the switch is how comfortable it feels in handheld mode. I never felt the need to really dock it.
But I waaaaaaaant to connect my Bluetooth headphones!! Please Nintendo!!!
Wow. So fst since the reveal
I use the portable mode almost 80% of the time because I trouble focusing on a whole tv for very long, having the smaller closer screen was really helpful to me, and allows me to play games I wouldn't be able to otherwise when relying on only portable consoles.
I remember watching videos people talking about the switch is going to fail.
I remember getting to school early just to watch that trailer because my classes didn’t start until 9:30 and my school was 30 minutes away. The internet wasn’t very good, but I saw it at that time.
Thank you.
Jonathan Meddis ikr
No, thank *YOU*
When it was revealed I was obsessed. I just wanted time to jump to Jan for the press event and release date reveal. Then to March 3rd. Then spent 18 hrs waiting in line for the midnight launch. I was actually at the NYC Nintendo store launch. It was fun though. Met other gamers and received some Nintendo freebies. Finally got my Switch and Zelda BOTW and played it non-stop for weeks. What a crazy long year.
I use the Switch handheld 98% of the time. I think I've played TV mode twice.
Actually some ideas like mario interacting with realistic people was in one of the early builds of mario sunshine. the gamecube was a system full of new ideas for nintendo, they really went out there on some concepts and im so happy they are finally continuing that with the switch.
Bayonetta ports or even Bayo 3...PLEASE
Yeah, I really hope it happens! Was pulling for it to be in that last direct
I had a switch of wich i shared with my sister and we both paid half of the cost, recently we saw another switch at a store so we put it on hold for the next week so now we each will have our own switches and i can finally take my switch wherever i go, and now that you can tranfer users to another switch and mario odessy is coming out the day i get my own switch its the perfect time for me, good luck to anyone still trying to get a switch.
I’m going to dock my Switch into your dock and play it.
31:27 The Switch (as of June 30) has sold almost 5 million units. Pretty impressive for the first 5 months
Now you know
Anyone else still don't have a Nintendo Switch?
Waheed Abdullah Yep. I'm getting one in November tho.
I have a switch
me too!
got it like a month after
I had mine since May
The reason it's not a handheld, is because is a "home console you can take on the go, not a handheld you can connect to a tv." Most games don't really use the touch screen...just in case you wanna go tv mode.
Happy birthday, Nintendo switch
That intro music tho! So chill:)
Once Mario Odessey comes out the Nintendo Switch will DOMINATE!Edit:Thanks 4 the 5 likes!👍 Edit:Karen is on the thumbnail!
Wow! Days sure does fly by pretty fast. Glad to have gotten my Switch in July.
It’s already been one year? Also, never been this early
Reggie Fils-Aime whoops I’ll edit it
14:30 AGAGAGAGAGA U HAVE MUSHROOMS Y DID U NOT USE THE SHORTCUT
I miss Karen.
MrTweej who is she?
Vortex Luigi Rosalina 55 the girl who brings her switch to the roof top party at the video reveal.
louman-eightyfour the one that played Mario Odyssey?
Said no one at that party when she left
Literally almost every time I've gone to my local Target, there are at least 8 Switches sitting there every time I have gone for the past 4 months.
Happy birthday Nintendo Switch!
not its birthday. Its birthday is March 3rd. This is the REVEAL trailers birthday.
Well if its not its birthday it can be the day when it was discovered in the womb
Calling it now, November or December, they will have a Nintendo direct (more than likely December because it’s after both xenoblade and odyssey). This will focus on a year in review for the switch and what is coming in the future for it, similar for the direct they had before the switch released. I will be a large event giving us Metroid, Kirby, and Yoshi, hype up a large amount of indie titles, and towards the end we will get a virtual console announcement. We will see some cool, GB and GBA titles, likely including Ruby and Sapphire, Minish Cap, Metroid Fusion, and maybe even mega man Zero. After those announcements, to really hype up fans, we will get two announcements. First, will here the Onett theme. This will last roughly about 10 seconds. After you will see fade in game play from mother 1, then Earthbound, and finally Earthbound 3. Then we will see the three games gameplay side by side while in front we see Earthbound Trilogy appear on the screen. The announcer will begin to sign off when you hear a loud crash in the background. The announcer panics and says someone seems to have entered the studio. Mario appears and knocks the announcer off screen, then running off himself, Link, Pikachu, and Samus in hot pursuit. Suddenly the backdrop crumbles to reveal a black screen, then suddenly you hear that familiar sound of metal when the Smash bros logo appears on the screen, a second later becoming the 0 in 2018
Back then I kept calling it the NX by accident.
Aaron S. SAME
Aaron S. And when everyone was saying Breath of the Wind
Man, I can't believe it's been that long already. It feels so recent.
Ha ha ha ha, yeah
Tryin' to have a good time
Be ya' self
The day the trailer came out, it was right before my commencement for University!
Time surely flies :,)
WHAT?!? It's been a year already?!?!?!
7:44, you lucky bugger
Wow one year and I have to games for the switch: Zelda and Stardew Valley
But hey, Odyssey is comming soon! :)
Arso Senpai “Coming Soon”
Coming in 3 days you mean lmao
The Nintendo Switch Reveal, huh?
That was when we couldn't do a big region wide literacy test, so everyone went home. I watched it then, became painfully hyped, and then waited for more info. Now I've just documenting the whole Switch thing and seeing it play out. It's been...a interesting experience. :)
"The switch is doomed. Nobody will buy it. Nintendo is dead."
Yay another reminder of how time is moving way too fast to the point where I have an existential crisis!
Ahh good times
Man that's crazy, how time flies by so fast.
Yeah and we still don't have the NX
