Just think that, 7 years ago, people were telling us that RPGs were dead.That AA games were going away. The Switch came along at the perfect time. Were it not for this console, we would likely be stuck with middling "AAA" fare that does little to move gaming forward.
@@armandostockvideos8386 we cannot ignore how much more sales numbers are higher with the switch compare to vita and 3ds though... which may not be that great since 3ds games werent expensive to make to still sell at 40 us.
The Switch has been amazing for JRPGs and visual novels too. I love being able to switch between docked and handheld mode when I’m getting tired. I really hope Nintendo keeps in mind the ways this console has been great for these genres as well as first party games in the next console.
definitely agree regarding VNs. Pretty much every major visual novel company has some form of presence on it nowadays. Even MangaGamer have started porting games to it.
@@millasgameroom I had no idea MangaGamer had started doing Switch ports! With Higurashi and Umineko on the Japanese eShop, here’s hoping they’ll port the English versions too.
What I enjoy the most in JRPGs is the artistry and aesthetics found in many of these games. Whether it’s excellent writing, stunning music or character design, there is some really high caliber talent on display. IMHO this will always take precedence over 4K, 120 FPS or any other such technicality.
Yep. Just think a generation ago it was PS4 Pro. Not anymore! Of course we can’t forget about the 3DS also. I’m definitely glad to hear this! The AAA’s may try, but JRPG’s will forever have my heart!
The Nintendo switch personally got me into so many JRPG series as they are treated such a big deal on Nintendo's consoles so they get the focal point they deserve.
Having all 3 Xenoblade Chronicles games on the switch makes it legitimate even before you mention timed exclusives (Octopath) or ports down the line (Persona).
I'm shocked Sony is now ignoring portable gaming when NS is killing it and feels like it's almost like a newer version of a PSP or Vita.. Thats the reason why I like it being I love those portables.. Not just RPG from all regions related tho it's a strong asset but it's well balanced overall.. Look at their platformers and action adventures.. Moreover there's quite literally a gazillion indies of great quality.. Funny I went back to Nintendo in recent years predominantly because I was missing Fire Emblem.. And being Sid Meiers Civilization is my fav all around game getting on board with Switch was a no brainer..
Got a OLED switch recently which was my first Nintendo console purchase. Discovered franchises like Xenoblade and Fire Emblem. Just wished I knew bout them much earlier
It absolutely is the best. The portable nature is perfect. The fact these games are so long and you need to grind etc. also the JRPGs on the system are the best
I have so many JRPGs on my switch. Every Xenoblade, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem games (minus the DLCs such as Torna). Then I buy every JRPG I can such as MonHun Stories, Bravely 2, FF7 (the only physical version since ps1 is the Switch), SMT5 etc.
I mainly bought a Switch on 2021 when i've seen the library of games of jrpgs and smt v coming so i've always considered the Switch the best console atm for jrpgs with its vast titles and more coming out even with its age.
I’ve own my Switch OLED for 7 months now my first switch and since I’ve bought the console i have never stopped using it as more games that i love playing on it physical and some digital too although i am more of a Physical gamer I’m old school so it’s that the system has so many games to play on and hopefully it’ll beat the PS2 sales units I’m going to get Metroid Prime Remastered buying new games always put me in a good mood.
You are absolutely right, the Switch made lower budget games viable again, not only JRPGs but that genre was definitely struggling because the vast majority of them are not AAA.
Switch is contending for best console period for me and if they can get the balance of power and battery life with their next platform & third party sports games & COD have decent outings on the system. Oh my God we could have a phenom.
It’s okay if you are playing handheld 100% of the time but when it’s multi platform getting it on PS5 is just the better way to go with much sharper visuals and better load times.
It is good, and I do enjoy my JRPGs on my switch. But it’s not the best… considering it’s slower load times, and the frame rate slow down hold it back. Plus in handheld mode it is uncomfortable for longer game session’s without having a grip or larger controller’s attached to the system. In my opinion. The PS5 and steam deck/PC are the ideal place for JRPGs. You get faster load times, better running games, and also portability.
Most gamers don't care about things like framerate or load times unless they're extremely bad, which isn't the case for most Switch games. I agree about Steam Deck though.
chained echoes was on gamepass, that probably helped. (i imagine the fat check from microsoft to maybe be the most revenu they received since sales numbers arent that high.)
Dispite all that... Nintendo didn't revive Golden Sun. Thats baffling to me. One of the best RPGs back then. And a big cliff hanger at the end of the DS entry. I just don't understand this and hopefully 2024 or 2025 it's finally time..
I wouldn't give it all time best jrpg system just yet if only i could get a bit more of the cooler classic jrpgs either english translated or hd remastered games long forgotten like sakura wars or far east of eden then i could agree. Switch is still good tho
I feel like the Switch actually has too many RPGs, if anything. I do love the genre, but a lot of them are just so long and the Switch has a seemingly infinite number of RPGs!
Switch needs achievements so bad. I always opt to buy the Steam version of these same RPGs because those versions all have achievements. And if I’m gonna put that much time into a game I want to get the most out of it.
sorry but PC especially the Steam Deck will blow the entire Nintendo consoles line up out of the water no question asked, what a stupid and console peasant-like title lol
Stop being a fuckin nerd… no parents or regular people are going to spend $500 on a system…. The best system available is the system that EVERYONE can access. No parent is buying a steam deck for their child unless you live in middle america or your a spoiled brat. People that live in urban or lower class areas have to go for what’s affordable….
PS Vita enters the chat. I am of the opinion that the PS Vita is still better for JRPGs. However, if all of the JRPGs remasters that are due this year come to fruition - and have more effort than Tales of Symphonia - then I'd be inclined to agree with the Switch.
Just think that, 7 years ago, people were telling us that RPGs were dead.That AA games were going away. The Switch came along at the perfect time. Were it not for this console, we would likely be stuck with middling "AAA" fare that does little to move gaming forward.
Those games were always alive in the portable consoles, they just moved to the switch.

Who were these people?
@@JustuasMostly people who were feeling ff13 fallout and didn’t know enough about the genre to realize that there were other games.

Good morning and Happy Octopath Traveler 2 Day
100% agree…I found myself loving the switch more and more as the years passed
Great discussion 👍🏼 Handheld and portability is key with the grinding nature of RPGs

Indiegames like Hades/Dead Cell etc. , (J)rpg and old ps3/pc etc games.
It absolutely is the best. The portable nature is perfect. The fact these games are so long and you need to grind etc. also the JRPGs on the system are the best
AAA games have let me down over and over. JRPGs keep me hyped
It is the best! And guys! Play Octopath 2 - such an amazing game!
I just bought Digimon Next Order it is such an great game
I´m broke from buying Tales of Symphonia and Ocotopath Traveler 2.
Good to hear it´s good. I´ll get it some day. Love some monster catching games.
I would LOVE to agree, if only they put Tales of Arise on the switch.
The Nintendo switch is the best JRPG console is subjective but overall good video.
3ds had some bangers too
I have so many JRPGs on my switch. Every Xenoblade, Pokemon, and Fire Emblem games (minus the DLCs such as Torna). Then I buy every JRPG I can such as MonHun Stories, Bravely 2, FF7 (the only physical version since ps1 is the Switch), SMT5 etc.
PC: "Hi"
I mainly bought a Switch on 2021 when i've seen the library of games of jrpgs and smt v coming so i've always considered the Switch the best console atm for jrpgs with its vast titles and more coming out even with its age.
Please do another switch games that will be rare video! I love that series 🙏
I’ve own my Switch OLED for 7 months now my first switch and since I’ve bought the console i have never stopped using it as more games that i love playing on it physical and some digital too although i am more of a Physical gamer I’m old school so it’s that the system has so many games to play on and hopefully it’ll beat the PS2 sales units I’m going to get Metroid Prime Remastered buying new games always put me in a good mood.
It's the perfect platform for physical RPG collecting. The majority of my backlog are RPGS
1) BOTW
2)Octo 1
3)Octo 2
4)BOTW
5)BOTW
Great video OJ.. I never got a notification though, CZcams be trippin..

Im pretty new to this genre and what are some of the best SNES PS1 and NSW jrpg games?
The Switch is the best console for every game. Now all Nintendo needs to do is bring out the next Switch using that custom Tegra 239 chip set.
It’s okay if you are playing handheld 100% of the time but when it’s multi platform getting it on PS5 is just the better way to go with much sharper visuals and better load times.
Your title has a space before the exclamation point.
Hard agree. The only JRPG franchise missing at this point i wanna see it on it Utawarerumono.
It is good, and I do enjoy my JRPGs on my switch. But it’s not the best… considering it’s slower load times, and the frame rate slow down hold it back.

Turn based,strategy and tactical rpg 4 ever !
I agree
chained echoes was on gamepass, that probably helped. (i imagine the fat check from microsoft to maybe be the most revenu they received since sales numbers arent that high.)
Yep Switch is perfect for RPG’s.
I watch sports n play my switch 😊
Dispite all that... Nintendo didn't revive Golden Sun. Thats baffling to me. One of the best RPGs back then. And a big cliff hanger at the end of the DS entry. I just don't understand this and hopefully 2024 or 2025 it's finally time..
I wouldn't give it all time best jrpg system just yet if only i could get a bit more of the cooler classic jrpgs either english translated or hd remastered games long forgotten like sakura wars or far east of eden then i could agree. Switch is still good tho
the psvita had a lot of jrpg, lowkey still the best
If only sony would bring it back that be golden
I feel like the Switch actually has too many RPGs, if anything. I do love the genre, but a lot of them are just so long and the Switch has a seemingly infinite number of RPGs!
Agree, it's miles ahead of other consoles.
Would have agreed before getting a steam deck, but they go hand in hand
What about Playstation????...
Switch needs achievements so bad. I always opt to buy the Steam version of these same RPGs because those versions all have achievements. And if I’m gonna put that much time into a game I want to get the most out of it.
sorry but PC especially the Steam Deck will blow the entire Nintendo consoles line up out of the water no question asked, what a stupid and console peasant-like title lol

The best jrpg system is was and will always be the PC including Steam Deck, end of discussion. Second best with a big margin is PS2 and then PS1.
Whats up with all the spoiled nerds on the comments😂
