#nintendoswitch #nintendo #nintendoswitch2 - Hry
Just bought one few months ago, and yes like everyone I will be buying Switch 2 when it is out. No regrets.
Feel the same way.
It's still safe to buy a Nintendo switch, They're still some games that are coming out in 2024 that look promising p
I've ordered Switch as present for a kid because:
1. Nintendo prioritising local coop over online and huge amount of games you can play with whole family >2 players
2. motion controls - this is just fun to play with friend around, also sometimes unique and more natural controls
3. top notch parental control
4. nintendo specials focusing on games appropriate for kids from young age
yeah graphics suck, games are quite expensive but there are just no competitor in mentioned 4 categories
1080 how does it suck
I got a game for $15 monkey ball. most are $40-50 though
@@CreativeProductions- I'm not saying about number of pixels but rather about complexity of graphics that console can handle. Compare e.g. how "it takes two" looks like PS4/Xbox vs Switch.
@@Sevkai I mean yea it’s Nintendo they are ass most the time
I would say buy a Switch if you don’t have one. It’s a great system. I don’t think the next system is just an upgrade. It will have a new gimmick of some kind. So it will be different. I think different enough that I will enjoy owning both systems. Also Nintendo exclusives are the main reason to have a switch.
I feel like people have been saying the Switch pro/2 is "coming out next year" since the thing came out. Either way, it has one of the best library of all time, it will always be worth a pick up.
for the xenoblade games alone
I don't think its worth to buy it. Only game I interested was Xenoblade Chronicles 2, bought Switch at 2017 for this game, but resolution and framerates/frametimes were bad so I couldn't finish it sub 30fps makes me sick, emulation scene was not existed that time. I just finished whole trilogy with PC emulation with fps mod and high resolution, far better experience.
Hardware is just too old to recommend, new games are not released on Switch even if they are released they are sub 540p 30fps experiences with cutdown features.
@@Whiteshade Well if you are pirate scum you aren't going to think buying the platform is worth it.
Buy the switch it’s library alone is legendary and its modular features mean if you don’t like the joy con there’s loads of options to customize it to your liking and the way I see it if there’s a system that you wanna get for the games doesn’t matter how old new whatever if you wanna experience it and the system has your interest get it hell Ik people that still play their 2600 and my brother just bought him self a ps2 and GameCube for me personally the switch is my personal favorite system of all time
Yeah good points!
I bought Switch OLED one month ago and I'm happy with it! For me it's worth only for Zelda: Breath of the Wild + Tears of the Kingdom 👍
The switches entire library is on the Asus Rog ally, and the high end phones for free ( runs a bit better then the switch) but still the same games. The joycons are too tiny and uncomfortable and riddled in joy cons drift. The console itself runs its own games like hyrule warriors at 15-20 fps ( like watching a sideshow) since its so weak its emulated better on other consoles. There's 0 reason to own a switch
@@hackysmacky the ally costs WAY more then a switch you can almost buy 3 for the same price physical collecting the cartridges is super fun most games aren’t that bad performance wise honestly and that’s why I also mentioned the modular set up there’s so many joy con alternatives that make it feel how you want even option’s with haul effect sticks that are supposed to never drift as for emulation I have mixed feelings about… and personally prefer playing the games on the hardware they were designed for (there’s also some cases where try as you might it never feels right to play that way without the actual hardware design and features)
Lots of competing handhelds now but let’s be honest. Switch is still unmatched when it comes to price, battery life, and seamless experience. Even 7 years into this system. Nintendo knew that was the advantage all along. It’s not their first rodeo. All they had to do on top of that was deliver the games, and they haven’t stopped doing that.
I’m ready for something new, but we really have to hand it to Nintendo for what they’ve done here. Not even to mention that Pro Controller.
Also Nintendo games are the kings of optimization. Blows my mind that years of the kingdom is only about 16 gigs. Sure it’s very simple with its textures and models but that’s a shit ton of content for 1/19 the size of call of duty that’s nuts
@@shquankinket8068 Yupppp that’s what I mean deliver on the games! Not just good games. Great games that go above and beyond and blow your mind! They put a lot into that because they know at the end of the day, that’s what matters. Even though some of the visuals on TotK makes me go 🤦🏻♂️
Exactly!
I miss your videos!
@@LAC32Griffin Who me??? Danggggg. I guess that means I need to hurry up and edit these videos lol
I used a switch and switch lite for the first one at my cousins house , and they felt like a toy I was really impressed by it 😅
I would say definitely get one if you want one but I would go lite first then wait until the Oled goes on clearance. The switch successor will be nothing like it. Nintendo makes every console unique in some way they don’t repeat designs. Also Nintendo consoles hold their value over time better than every other console out.
Just picked up a switch off of Facebook Marketplace for $90. Came with a wired Zelda controller, 60 gb SD card, a game I'll never play (Cooking Mama, i think it's called), the dock and charger. No stick drift as far as i can tell.
Good video. This doesn’t look bad. So does this lock in, like on the nitro deck? Or pressure fit somehow? Currently using the nitro and the ronin.
the risk is you never know when would switch 2 or whatever Nintendo's next gen console is be released. It's like joining Wehrmacht but didn't know it's already 1945.
I have no reason to want an all red oled with having already a white oled but that red looks awesome. I’m like SpongeBob and that “I don’t need it…I def don’t neeed it…. INEEEEED IT!”
The switch library is not even close to being done.
I just got a switch lite and have an oled already.
One for travel one for home.
I bought the switch Splatoon edition but regret buying it in 2022, because I really wanted the next gen switch.
Im getting the regular switch Mario kart 8 bundle for christmas
Just bought one at the begining of the year I'm choked I'm sure there are upgraded features that will be annoyingly peevish that I'm denied of
Not everyone has wifi
What if my kid wants to play Mario Kart and I don’t want to share? 😮
Switch lite for sure haha
I got a Nintendo Switch oled, but i bought a Nintendo Switch recently on ebay because I'm going to be doing some traveling pretty soon and i want use it to play my games on the road. But yeah i don't see why not. Nintendo has a huge library of games. Oh and I'm definitely going to buy the Switch 2
No. Don’t do it. You missed this boat now. Wait for the next console.
I'm really shocked to hear that anyone is literally buying nintendo switch for anything else but their original games, and with that being said, no comparisons make sense cus there's no other device that can play Nintendo games better than Nintendo, plus you get 3 modes of playing. And also, who cares if the next Nintendo system has some OP graphics, whivh I highly doubt, cus they're just aiming at inovation and fun,.. like that's literally not the point of nintendo. If you wanna play non-Nintendo games at the best possible quality then go buy yourself a PS5 or Xbox cus you are missing the market.
Dude you can get a regular switch for 100$ dollars. That's cheaper than a PS Vita and 3ds. If you buy gen 1 switch you also have an android tablet and can over clock.
The switch is outdated but the value of the console and the huge library of games makes it worth it if you don't have one already.
If you have 300$+ to spend get the odin 2. If you have 400-500+ get a steam deck. And if you have 800-1k+ get a budget gaming laptop or build your own PC.
Another Nintendo Marked!
Thumbnail is misleading since you are praising the hell out of the Nintendo Switch.
It’s definitely worth buying an Nintendo Switch now because there’s still some great games coming out for it despite its age everyone’s opinions are gonna be different, but thankfully I don’t really listen to the opinions of other people I make up my own mind and I think that’s what most people should do, make up their own mind rather than listen to other peoples opinions, I’m biased because I bought an Nintendo switch in 2023 it’s the best decision I ever made. I absolutely love my Nintendo switch and yes I know there’s other options but those options options don’t have the charm of the Nintendo Switch and you can get some good 3rd party games on it as well, obviously ports of current gen games are a no go on Nintendo Switch but I bought it for mostly Nintendo first party games.
Do people buy nintendo consoles to play anything other than exclusives, and the new nintendo console probably wont even be available to buy for a year or more. I'm not buying one from scalpers
I honestly dont see the new console until 2025 at the earliest
Unless sales plummet mid-2024
Nintendo had their strongest quarters since the 2017 launch of the switch
The train has not slowed just yet
At this point buying a used one just to play the library is about the only reason to buy one
I got a nintendo switch oled and is amazing I love it so mucho
I just use an emulator on my gaming phone (Red Magic 8S Pro Aurora)
I wouldn’t buy a switch now, just wait for next system
It’s a hard sell at this point.
@@DripMediaGaming I think Nintendo knows it is a hard sell too, that’s why we see so many offers right now
The next console is gonna be completely different. They always try to innovate I’d be surprised if it’s backwards compatible at all.
@@shquankinket8068why would they change up their most selling console ever? It is a good system in a market where not many are in, so if they release something better they will ABSOLUTELY dominate the market more than they already have.
@@uncanny6017 Exactly!
“If you’re buying this to play the Nintendo exclusive games, then yes the Switch is where you want to be.”
I’m finally in this ballpark. I miss the excitement of being able to play amazing ports on this system. We still have them, but I feel the Switch is no longer holding up its end of the bargain when it comes to the quality of ports. It was inevitable, but it’s becoming more of a Nintendo exclusive machine every month. Even the third party titles that aren’t very demanding aren’t always coming across the Switch without flaw. And considering you can get a new unused Steam Deck for $399.99 now, you’re getting a Switch for the battery and the exclusives. Still not a bad place to be.
Yeah I 100% agree with all that. We’ll be back soon brother don’t worry. Switch 2…some day 😬
@@DripMediaGaming I’ve been looking at ROG Ally and Steam Deck comparisons all day and I think I might get one! Ally isn’t flawless but being able to play Steam, PC, AND Xbox games on the TV and handheld sounds awesome.
It’s funny because in the early days of the switch’s life everyone and their mother was begging for multiplat ports, like P5R and Witcher 3. The idea of having these games on the go sounded amazing. Then 2022 happened and Steam Deck came out and we were able to have all those games on the go at even better performance. And it was around that time that people also started noticing how poor the switch ran even Nintendo’s own games.
Interesting how much the perspective has shifted.
@@IceBlueLugia Yup it’s just an inevitable matter of time moving forward and technology advancing. This always happens with Nintendo.
6 years old game just 60 dollars ...
and keeps selling
@@khightofjustice2828 Absolutely, one of the few companies still making games right. They should be praised and supported.
Mario Strikers was a letdown :(
The switches entire library is on the Asus Rog ally, and the high end phones for free ( runs a bit better then the switch) but still the same games. The joycons are too tiny and uncomfortable and riddled in joy cons drift. The console itself runs its own games like hyrule warriors at 15-20 fps ( like watching a sideshow) since its so weak its emulated better on other consoles. There's 0 reason to own a switch
Also too, Nintendo is about to drop next gen hardware, even more reason to not buy the glitch
My god, why tf are you yelling so much. My ears started to hurt half way in the video
Just buy switch
But maybe not..👀
Switch Oled is awesome sauce .
Nintendos new tagline
