      Such a well put together video that I will overlook it. 😂
      I'm at the crossroads with Switch where I'm looking behind and deciding on getting that Steam Deck, or holding out and seeing what the next Nintendo system will be.
      The video made me remember what I love with Nintendo and why I haven't got a PS5 yet.
      Few exclusives with Playstation and almost everything is gritty games involving killing.
      Nintendo has all the wholesome less violent games.

    I remember searching RUclips back in August 2017 for Nintendo stuff and Arlo and Wood’s videos popped up. After a few weeks, I decided to purchase a switch with a pro controller and BOTW. This had instantly reignited my love for gaming and as the months/years went by Nintendo just kept releasing absolute bangers! I’ve invested a ridiculous amount of hours on the switch and I hope its successor is backwards compatible and keeps its momentum. Fantastic video Woody, really bought us back down memory lane.

    I've been using my Switch since launch day. I had temporarily moved back with my mom in 2017, and went out at 6 a.m. to line up at EB Games to get my pre-ordered Switch and copy of Breath of the Wild and amiibos when the store opened at 8. When I came back home around 9 a.m., my mom and her boyfriend were watching the morning news and they were talking about the Switch release. And my mom was all "can you believe people are crazy enough to line up to buy video games" and I, 35 years old, with EB Games bags in my hands, was all 🙂 "I just spent over $600 CAD so, yeah". I think she would have been less disappointed with me if I told her I accidentally got pregnant or something.

    I hope the switch 2 will be backwards compatible, nobody and I mean nobody wants to lose their games collection, all the money I spent, I don't care about graphics or power. I love cartoon games. Never was a fan of shooting games like call of duty that has taken over ps4 and Xbox. Nintendo provides real games. I want my old games to transfer over. I would be pissed it they don’t.

    I just sold my v2 AC switch to fund my Splatoon 3 OLED switch's purchase. Bought the former during covid and what I can tell you is; even though it has hardware limitations, switch is really fun to play with. The ever expanding game catalogue itself over its seven years after launch also help them to lure others (who don't have one) to own one a switch. I know Switch 2 is just around the corner. But learning from the earlier switch, you might want to wait for a while to get your hands on the new upcoming console; because Nintendo might release a special edition consoles and might also come out with hardware update (ala switch v2) after the initial product launch. So now, I'm enjoying my new OLED (yeah, I know I was late to join the OLED wagon) and might take the same approach to get the upcoming switch 2.

    The Nintendo Switch being able to play console level games on the go was like a big deal to me. For many years i always wanted to play console games on the go i remember how cool it was to play skyrim on the go and doom and many other games, sadly that excitement doesn’t really exist anymore but i still.
