    Yeah, I have this problem with the Switch too. The interface is overall cleaner, easier to understand, and faster which makes it more convenient.
    But they had to sacrifice their Nintendo Charm to make it happen.

    The absence of Iwata and Reggie is really showing… they were what made Nintendo great. Also I subscribed, I really love videos like these that are informative but funny at the same time. Keep up the good work!

      I don’t like to mention Iwata in that manner just out of respect, but I can definitely agree to an extent.
      I’m glad you enjoyed, though! Thank you for the kind words.

    I hate it because you're right. I spent a lot of time with the Wii U and the 3DS in the run-up to the eShop closure, and moving from that to the soulless sterility of the Switch is such a tonal backlash that it's actually painful. ZERO effort. It's like all of Nintendo charm of personality died with Iwata.

    i never really thought about how bare bones the switch is. most of nintendos previous consoles, esp the 3DS, had so many things to do without a game. i honestly love the switch noises and it would've been really cool to have minimalistic music with those sounds

    11:18 Ah, one of the few.. "tunes" the Switch menu does have.. and I hate it. A high annoying whistle or flute thing. They should make something with the Wii Mii Maker soundfont instead. 😌

  • @KingYoshi93
    @KingYoshi93 2 года назад +5

    I guess Nintendo thought their "charm" had to be one of the reasons for the Wii U's failure so they scrapped that as well. At least the Switch is way faster when it comes to booting games. But I do miss the Wii U's menu style and music. The 3DS even had nice little apps to record sounds or make photos as well as Streetpass Mii Park/Plaza, and the DSi used to have Flipnote Studio. I miss those days.

      @wariowarecomix Год назад +2

      ​@@onlywiigame. I personally imagine that it was a combination of cost effeciency, design moving towards flat and simplified design, and wanting to move on from the Wii U's reputation specifically. The Wii U (which I dearly love personally) was seen by many as out of date, clunky and childish, and I think the Switch was the direct answer to all of these. They wanted a console that feels as adult (= boring), modern (= flat) and fast/effecient (okay this is not something I can make a salty diss of any sort about, this last bit is an objective improvement) as possible, so they essentially went opposite day on the Wii U which meant sacrificing much of their soul. Part of me hopes that now that they're in the clear again they'll return to the glory of their past UIs, but the cynic in me imagines that now that they know they can get away with essentially Google Docs documents for menus they'll never risk the effort again

    Not sure if this falls under the flat design stuff but both the interface of Mii Maker and the Mii models themselves(!) look different (in terms of shading) when you compare Wii U and Switch.

    You should make more videos about level design and smbx. I learned a lot from you. So you should continue those videos.

    • @Chipss
      @Chipss  2 года назад

      In terms of the content I like to make, I’ve honestly moved past videos like that. I also really don’t feel that I have anything else to offer in terms of level design advice, at least at the moment. You can watch some of my “Creating the Best Sequel” videos or the multiple other game design analysis videos I have up so far. They have a lot to offer in terms of game design advice and insight as well. In fact, the next video is going to be another “Creating the Best Sequel.” Videos like this one (the one you’re commenting on) aren’t the only type of ones I make nowadays. If you’re still looking for more, I do SMBX level design over on my Twitch almost every Thursday as well. Feel free to drop by there if you’re interested in any more insight. I wouldn’t consider myself an expert, but I believe I’m better than most lol. Thanks for watching regardless!
