    the Lite helped introduce me to the Switch last year at the beginning of the pandemic, and now I'm all-in on the console as my favorite way to play games. I'm looking forward to the years to come with this platform.

    As far as a new generation goes, I just hope Nintendo makes the Switch, like how Microsoft has made Xbox's, and just make this the forever console, at least for a while. You want a new console? You get one. Don't have the money or want it? Don't need it.

    • @SketchSpooks
      @SketchSpooks 3 года назад +47

      That's honestly a phenomenal insight and I absolutely agree with your points. But even then, people wouldn't have to worry about a new generation considering Nintendo wants to keep the Switch around longer than a typical console life cycle. And I think what helps that point is the years of ACNH updates and Splatoon 3 coming out, which will definitely see updates going off of past game logic

    Frankly, I think that graphics became "good enough" around the PS3 era. I'm happy now. I often play the 16-bit lookalike games too and love them. So the Switch's relatively smaller graphical power really doesn't bother me... what I want is the best gameplay and the most original ways to play.

    I was a day one purchaser of the Switch w/Breath of the Wild and pro controller. I've been a Nintendo fan since the NES, and this is by FAR my favorite console of all time. While I appreciate my PS, Xbox, and PC for what they offer, no one has tried to innovate like Nintendo. They give love and attention to things long abandoned by the other platforms, like couch co-op, and a general focus on fun and silliness (something we sorely need these days), all while delivering a consistent polish to their titles. All it needs now is a wider selection of N64 and Gamecube titles, and it will be absolutely perfect.

      I have a similar story. I was a college freshman when it was officially announceded. My highschool friends and I all at separate colleges streamed it together and we hung out for hours after. We had talked about the rumored NX all through highschool and it was incredible to see it all come to fruition. I was broke and sold my entire 3DS collection (which I worked a whole summer in HS to get) to get the switch at launch. Getting that box and opening it in my dorm was one of the best feels I ever had with spending money. Now I'm about to graduate college, my joy cons drift, but it is easily my favorite console

    First off, Bob, I too think that the red & blue looks amazing.
    Second, I am hoping 😜 that Nintendo will make the Switch more of a “permanent” kind of thing. Kinda like the way cell phones get updated (not yearly, of course). While iOS has changed dramatically in the last 13 years, in theory, you could run an app from back then now (with some minor tweaks to the code in the app). I guess it would be kinda of an endless backwards compatibly, but then they don’t have to keep rereleasing all their games.

Got the second revision with the improved battery life. Didn't see the point in the OLED one as that would have cost me at least 150$ more here in the EU and on top of the second revision being cheaper, I got a sweet bundle that gave me Mario Kart and 3 months of Nintendo Online in the box. I tend to wait overall. Even now with the PS5 I am waiting so that more games are released, there is a wide availability and the correct price or of course if you can snag a great bundle for a great price, that is an absolute godsend.

    About “Nintendo scarcity” it could have been true for the switch, I had a college professor that owned the marketing company that was used to market one of Nintendo’s consoles and they did just that. They estimated demand and under produced (nintendo often does things that make the consumers question what they are thinking). And if you think about it this could be a very powerful conversion tool. If you create a shortage than maybe someone who was on the fence about getting one if they see it in stock would purchase it as they don’t know when there will be another chance to purchase it, keeping demand and prices higher for longer than a well stocked always available item.

      Two thru rent-a-center (first was returned, 2nd was acquired when I got income tax), traded that one off for a lite to see if id like the form factor which I didnt for the most part. Handed that one down, and bided my time till I found a switch at a pawn shop for about 200, so I talked them down to 160. Had to sell that one due to hard time from good ol' Covid. Got my income tax this year, and was able to find what seems like the last mario edition Switch in my area...
      So yeah, I've spent a bit on them lol.

    I love my Switch. A good friend bought it on launch day and was hooked. I was skeptical. He came over, set the dock up, set the switch up, playing handheld. Then, he put the tablet in the dock and dejoyed the cons. I was instantly sold. I bought it as a birthday present to myself that summer.

    Thank you for the last part: I was holding off from getting a switch and I waited since launch to get one and now, I don't really care about Nintendo's new console or "switch pro", I am happy to have the switch for eternity and I am probably getting it in summer. I actually don't know what to say(lol).

    Got mine summer 2017 at Nintendo NYC and it's been great. Last year and now this year so far I've been playing it less because there hasn't really been much. I've also started to have drift problems recently. It's not all my controllers, just my pro-controller and 2 or 3 joy-cons, but it's still an issue. It also goes to show that it doesn't matter how old the controller is, it is prone to drift. I got my pro-controller the same time I got my Switch, and the last time I got any joy-cons was Christmas 2018.

    I remember getting my switch near launch and the eshop only having about 10 games on it and I'd check it out everyday to see what new games came out. I literally only had BotW, Flip wars, and 36 fragments of midnight.

    You need to pry those nails out of the coffin you put your Wii U in! I love my switch but the Wii U virtual console is still the best option for a lot of older games if you can't/won't pick up original hardware. I've bought and enjoyed both N64 zelda titles and finally beat Metroid Fusion on my Wii U. Game boy advance games! it's great

    I ordered my first nintendo switch on Tuesday and got it yesterday. It came with Zelda BOTW, I bought Hollowknight from the eshop and I have pokemon sword arriving today. I know I'm a bit late on the switch bandwagon but I'm really excited, the announcement of the new pokemon games really sold me.

    I got mine a year ago and I'm very happy with it. Being primarily a pc gamer and programmer, I don't play as much as I'd like but I try to play a few hours per month at the very least. Doing my first switch playthrough of botw on it lately.

    13:55 yeah in my opinion having a console in that colors is kinda weird, my favorites will still be the 2 classics, main console black and the joy cons either Blue/red or Grey.
