My child told me he had a presentation lined up to show us what he wanted for his birthday on 6 February. This is the video he presented us 😂
Smart kid
Well….are u gonna get one
😂 smart kid. The Legend of Zelda Breath of the Wild is a good enough game to stand alone. If it were the only game on the Switch, I would be happy. (1 player). For multi-player, you can't go wrong with Mario Kart 8 Deluxe.
@ironfire98 yes I got him one. He loves it!
Did you get the oled@@revrae
I want to get a Switch but can't afford it so I just watch videos about it lmao. I also really like the video, can't believe you have only 3.23K subscribers! This channel is criminally underrated.
Lol same (but I’m saving)
Same bro glad I am not the only one
I'm saving. Idk what to get though...an iPhone or switch or PS5. I wanted the switch cause I share the tv with my brother and I just want a portable system to myself when I can't use the TV.
Go to QVC type in video games. They have them
On ez pay as well as bundle packs ( with games & accessories)
same bro
This is the only video of yours that I have seen but I wanted to say that this video is really appreciated. You take the time to consider the needs of each kind of person and are very thorough. Means a lot!
I just got an OLED and this video answered everything I had questions about. Thank you!
You did an amazing job explaining every little detail. I've learned so much from your video. Well done, sir.
Congratulations on your first youtube video! Wishing you a success!
When I watched this I thought you would have had a couple hundred thousand subscribers! Amazing video that has made me so excited for my switch to arrive. Been playing on the lite for just under a year, so looking forward to playing on the big screen. Keep up the great content your enthusiasm is incredible!
Thank you for a great, quick, inclusive explanation of the Nintendo devices. I'm a grandapa that just bought two switch Oled's for my grandsons. I like to know "whats up" with what they can and will be able to do with the devices. I appreciate that it is only a 21 minute video as well. Great Job.
The enthusiasm is infectious. Bought this as a Christmas present for my little brother, think I really need to buy a case and screen cover before Christmas Day!
I haven't touched a Nintendo device since the Wii. I feel like this video helped me get updated with Nintendo's latest offering in a straight forward and light hearted manner. I appreciate it.
I haven’t touched a Nintendo product since GameCube. I’ll probably wait until the next console release to get one.
Can you still use wii?
i got a wii and a nintendo 3ds xl but after that i couldnt get any more (only wii still works cuz i played the 3ds when i was a young kid and wasnt carefull with it)
i didn't even own a Wii, i go back to the GameCube, so i haven't had a console
that was made by Nintendo for years. i didn't own 3DS, i did have a PSP
at one point, but the Consoles i owned in the last 20 years were,
Playstation 2 fat in 2001, a GameCube in 2003. a PSP from 06, PS2 fat motor started having an issue around 2007,
so i bought a PS2 Slim on my 18th birthday in 2008, bought Persona 4
that year. an Xbox 360 in 2010, then a PS3 in 2011, and finally Xbox One S in 2017. so that's what i had, but i have played the Wii, but it's different
when you own it.
so up until the Nintendo Switch, i didn't have an interest in the Wii U.
but now people are saying this would be the wrong time to buy the Switch,
maybe for people who had one for awhile,
but unless graphics matter that much to you, next gen should never be
something that stops you from buying something you want.
plus even if Nintendo's next gen console is backwards compatible,
you can always trade your old Switch later.
You don't understand how useful this info is 😁 I appreciate the time you took putting this all together plus I love your dive into great games including the indy ones and online services! 👍👍👍
Thank you, great video and so helpful. I just got a Nintendo Switch OLED for Christmas really impressed with it.
Looking forward to seeing contents like this in the future.
I'm very surprised your channel has only 570 subs! The way your videos are set up make them very informative yet easy to follow.
Now he has almost 2.5k, really epic indeed!
@@User_Brandon in 13 days??
3.7K Now!! 🥰🥰💕💕
3.9 amazing
4.73k
Solid video and super appreciate all the effort and time gone into making it! Thank you! At this point, it's only a matter of time before I buy a Switch. Thanks again!!!
Thank you so much for this. Ive been playing games for years but had heard there is so much to the Switch so your video was ideal to avoid getting overwhelmed with options / choice!!
What an awesome post! Best ever and well explained for a 40 year father who had no idea about nintendo switch. Really appreciate that you explained what you need to buy extra from the start, like memory card, case, pro controller
As a 34 year old dad who's had a switch since 2019 GET ONE
Edit: assuming you have a decent smart phone check out cloud gaming as well bro. X cloud...GeForce now...crazy times.
This guy is totally awesome. Great descriptions of all of them to help people decide which. Everything well done. Thanks much!!!
This is so well done! I appreciate your work. Thanks!
This was amazing. Thank you. So well thought out and creative and very informative. Hope this channel gets the hits it deserves!
Can you please do a video like this on the steam deck? I love how well informed this is, I have a switch and have had it for years but you still reminded me of some very important things 🥰
Subbed! These a very high quality videos. Your channel is gonna grow fast I’m sure of it
I just bought my OLED last week and tbh it is kinda intimidating since I stop playing video games a long time ago. Your video is helpful, thank you! I am subscribing.😊
Thanks! I just bought the OLED. Excited! Great video!
Best video 👏🏽👏🏽👏🏽. Original Super Nintendo was my first console, and just get the Oled yesterday to keep the memories 💯% born in 1986. thank’s for the video brother
Awesome video. Great personality. You deserve a million subs definitely. Very detailed video love it.
Extremely helpful!!!!! Thank you so much 👊🏻
Well made video, very informative. Would love to hear more in depth reviews on games new switch users should consider buying, specifically indies that mightn't be as well known
I'm not sure we'll get a chance to do game reviews on this channel, since we'll be focusing on user guides for marquee products. But let me know if you want to know more about any of the Indie games I talked about. Maybe we can do a CZcams short as a follow up or I can just respond and tell you more details.
I don't think the switch is the best console for indies
I stand by my assessment, but I'd be curious to know which one you'd take and why.
@@youjustboughta Xbox would be the best out of the 3 but if we count the steam deck its better just due yo the amount of indies and how cheap they are
@@youjustboughta I'd argue it really depends on the user. Casuals and newbies should probably go with either Switch or Xbox Series S, but I think he's correct about Steam Deck. Steam has 65,000 titles in it's libraries, 60,000 of which are over 50% positive overall rating. Way bigger library than any of the other offerings, but while that's true, it's also true that there might actually be too many games available on Steam. Pretty overwhelming. That's why I probably would support getting a Swtich for newer users.
10th Subcriber!! This is honestly really creative and well made, I’ve had a switch for a few years now and it is as good as people say it is. Hoping for your success, excited to see what comes next!
Thank you for this very informative video! Helped me a ton, someone who hasn't played games much at all for about 10 years. Wanting to get back into it, and it has been intimidating. But, with this video, I am well-equipped for the Switch!
Excellent video. Really looking forward to your future content
This was a wonderful video. I was able to show this to my mom and dad so they could understand the console. They call everything video game related "the Nintendo" so this helped them a lot. The only criticism I have is that the music volume is a bit too loud drowning out your voice.
I think there's a problem with your speakers. 🔊
Back in the 1980s, Nintendo was so popular and well known for video games that actually every game was called "Nintendo" even though it wasn't. That's probably why.
He was talking? I thought this was just a music video!
turn on subtitles
…bruh
This video is very high quality!, it also helped me to accept the switch isn't a console for me thank you!
Very informative 👏 subscribed! I look forward to more content.
Thank you so much for this video. My son wants one for Christmas & I know nothing about it. I’m pretty confident now on what to get. You explained things in a way that was very easy for me to understand. You’re a lifesaver. Thanks again! 😊
One game I definitely had fond memories of playing was Blaster Master Zero
It was basically one of those games that was being covered quite a bit in the Switch’s first year, but soon got dropped from the conversation *hard,* even with its two sequels having released. I wouldn’t sleep on the first game, if I were you.
Yeah, I haven't heard of that one. Thanks for the recommendation. Will check it out.
One day, I'll buy a Nintendo switch for myself. One day!
Have you bought it yet? Just checking in!
@@ayelebast I wish I could answer yes. But no I have not yet bought one 😅
One stop shop of information for Nintendo Switch .. thank you. Was about to buy and wanted some research first. Great job!
Going to buy one next month and had no idea where to start. Your video is so informative for beginners. Thank you! 😀
I’m a Gen X’er and I just bought the Oled version today. I’m new to console gaming, so this video is helpful. Thanks for your game suggestions, too. I’m not even really sure what games I will like to play, I just have some ideas. And yes, mushrooms are awful. P.S. the Oled bundle at Costco had lots of extras like a screen protector, case, 128 GB card, and the 12 month family membership so I think it’s worth it.
my older brother bought me a nintendo switch oled version for my birthday in late june, so i’ve had it for just around a month. here is my more simple of a version guide about it!
(these first 2 instructions are only useful if you are getting it on your own accords, not if u were gifted it like me)
1. make sure you really want it! the last thing you need is you get it and it’s not all you had wished
2. find the colour you want! there’s the simple red and blue, black, white, and more
3. instead of buying a game straight away, try out the free games, like fall guys and fortnite. then after a while, you can get a game. first game we got was super mario bros deluxe. as mario’s a classic childhood game. and soon we are planning to get mario kart and mario wonder!
4. try out all the different ways to play, handheld, tabletop, tv screen, 2 players.
5. if you have other family members who would love to play with you, you could consider getting 2 more joy cons!
that’s all i have and i hope it’s helpful ❤
Thanks for the info! I subscribed. I am going to check out some of your other stuff. I love the comedic elements. "No switches were harmed etc..." great stuff.
This was a very helpful video!!! Definitely narrowed it down for me. Thanks!!! Gonna look for a pros and cons video for oled and switch
This is the first video of yours I've seen and I have to say, you're very professional, while still being mildly witty - well done.
I'm completely new to video games again. I mean, I think I played my PSX more than any other person on the planet and play a ton on the PS2 and GBA. Then the last console I bought was a Wii until life got busy with house and eventually children. Now I look at what's available and I'm in awe about how much has changed. I like the way things used to be - have never been a fan of renting/subscriptions or downloads/updates - have always preferred a CD or cartridge with a complete/final version of the game. So I feel like the Switch is the way to go for me.
What I'm wondering is:
1 - Is two player possible with the Switch Lite, without any additional accessories? As in, does it provide a split screen and you just play the handheld in a manner like an old school, sit down arcade machine?
2 - I see you mention you choose your profile prior to purchasing online games. Does this mean the game is only available on that profile / each profile needs to purchase the game individually?
3 - Are all online purchasable games available in cartridge mode (which therefore would avoid the potential problem with question 2)?
Thanks again!
Thanks for watching!
1. You can play two player on the Switch Lite, but you need a second controller.
2. Once you buy a game on a console, anyone can play the game on that console. And you can sign in on another console and play it. But others can't play it on these secondary consoles.
3. Lots of games are still purchasable as a cartridge, but not all. Generally speaking, indie games are not as the cost of shipping a physical version doesn't make sense for them.
I know you already got a response from the OP, but I feel it's also really really important to note that save data for individual games is also linked to the Nintendo profile/account on the device. This is even more important if you have a Nintendo online sub and cloud save features.
Great video. My wife and I atill enjoy playing our Wii, but would like to upgrade to a newer system tobplayvon the big screen TV. Your video taught us that this is possible with the Switch. Before this I was thinking PlayStation might be thecway to go. It certainly doesn't look cheap to purchases all the equipment. However, if access to all the retro Nintendo games is possible (and will make my wife happy) so be it. We love playing together.
Huge thanks to you. I'm planning to buy my Nintendo Switch OLED and this video answered my questions. 😊
Thank you for this video. Just bought by own Switch as an early birthday gift for myself and this video was super helpful.
Great review! 🙂
I've been seriously thinking of buying a Switch Lite version- but was just curious about the games, and even as you mentioned in the video, not all will work on the Lite. Do the physical games clearly show if they can be played on the Switch Lite?
The Switch Lite is compatible with all games that can be played in handheld mode. It's the vast majority of titles and most of the ones that don't are gimmicky: www.nintendolife.com/guides/which-switch-games-dont-work-with-nintendo-switch-lite. Maybe Google the title to be sure, but you're likely fine to jump in with most ordinary games.
@@youjustboughta Thank you so much! That link is fantastic! 😁
For anyone planning to play switch lite or primarily handheld mode, a grip case (a case that specifically makes it easier on your hands to hold the console) is a 100% must! Otherwise you run the risk of severe carpol tunnel really quick. But a grip case will make it much more comfortable to play. It essentially gives you grips on the console like the pro controller without adding so much bulk you cant still fit it into a carry on case like he showed.
A good one also has the added benefit of protecting the console from everyday wear and tear that a carry case cant protect if from. Same way that a phone case protects your phone. Carry case is good for storage on the go, grip case is a must for play on the go, and in general.
Just in case it isn't obvious why I'm saying this, the console itself isn't much thicker than your cell phone and it does hurt your hands to hold it after awhile. Grip case adds some bulk to grip onto so you aren't hurting yourself.
I just got my OLED this week, and I was of the opinion "I'll buy a gripcase if it hurts". It. Does. Especially on the middle of the palm which is where the console's weight usually gets supported. Get yourself some sort of grip (I'm mostly using the grip from the box) alongside the screen protector asap.
I would recommend a Satisfye grip. I have one for my switch and it makes playing in handheld mode super comfortable. It even came with a larger case so you can leave the grip on when you take it out and about.
Does a grip guarantee you won't have hand problems or will it must make it take longer to get them?
@@tracial3730 definitely not a guarantee, but I find it hurts less and will probably lessen the damage. Idk, I'm not a doctor nor an expert. I just know it does help comfort wise at the very least.
i just bought 2 yesterday. now im watching your video. thanks bro ! it was really helpful
Thank you for info, this will help lots.
As an electronics technician, i must say the Switch adapter is not a regular one, it can switch (not a pun) bewtween 5 and 15V DC.
The Apple adapter switches too, but between 20V, 15V, 9V, or 5V DC.
So if you use a switching adapter that has a range between 5V and 15V youre OK, the switch will "select" the Voltage it wants (15V in Docked mode, 5V in handheld mode).
This is just how modern USB works. The Switch will negotiate it from the supply.
Just bought the Nintendo switch for my little sisters. This video was very helpful. I have one question about storage. Can I just buy a 1tb storage card and put it into the switch. From the beginning, or do I have to do that in the settings?
You shouldn't have any trouble installing a card from the get go. The slot should be under the kickstand. SanDisk is a good brand if you're still shopping. That said, you might have to format it in the settings. Sometimes the Switch will just recognize it. If not, head to the settings menu. Then System... Formatting options... Format MicroSD Card... Continue.
@@youjustboughta thank you for help.
This is so high quality!! How do you only have ~200 subs???
Great video, very helpful!
Breath of the wild is so hard but has such a cool feel you don’t even need to do the story right away just wander and learn
i must have fell to death 4time from the top of the first tower. wtf
also the weapons are breaking after 5stike~!!!!!
hard? xD
When I first played it it was a bit hard. Then I played Elden ring now I do no death runs😂
Not a hard game at al if you've played previous Zelda games from back in the day
Hard?
This was really helpful! I just scored a used OLED Switch bundle after getting back into gaming via GeForce Now and Boosteroid. A 3 day binge of Dredge made me realize that all I'm looking for is great gameplay, and cartoonified graphics help the escapism I game for. PC gaming's grim hyperrealism and seeming de-emphasis on great core gameplay got old fast.
Just finished Dredge myself. I thought it was awesome.
This video was absolutely incredible I've really been interested in the switch lately and you've answered all the questions I had lol thank you
fantastic idea for a channel. looking forward to where you take this
Congrats on the new channel! Love it! Subscribed - A new Nintendo OLED owner
Thank you for starting out the video as if you're talking to a 43-year-old who doesn't understand new to them technology anymore. Because that is exactly what I am.
😂👍
Same here! I am 57 and needed that too!
Personally, I thought the online + expansion was a waste. I don’t really play the old Nintendo games like that. If you intend on playing them, for sure get it. Otherwise just stick to the regular online service. 20 for the year is unbeatable as well.
Great video and great energy. Glad i watched.
Amazingly detailed video! Love your energy & enthusiasm!
As a 1st time player age 71. I need info on what the buttons do on Joy controllers.
Welcome to the hobby! So the buttons might change a little bit depending on what game you're playing. But generally, you can navigate menus with the joystick. Then hit A to make your selection or hit B to go back. The plus button will open up menus or pause the game. Once you're in a game, you can hit the home button to go back to the main menu. The other little square button is a capture button. So you'll take a screenshot of the game you're playing. To start, I'd recommend charging both Joy Cons and putting them in the holder. And then start up the game you want to play or one of the ones I recommended. Most games will include a tutorial walking you through the buttons.
Interesting. What inspired you to play? What are you playing?
@@chickenmuffin I am learning Animal Crossing. I was used to seeing children in family playing Nintendo games. Even if I did not play myself. But this year I want to learn.
@@sonyas.1124 Very cool! How do you find that game. I bought this system for my kid because I want her screen time to be a bit more involved than just CZcams. She is liking paw patrol and there’s lots of good games for her I could buy, but I find the console compelling too and want to try some. Can’t find many that seem good for adults though.
@@chickenmuffin Animal Crossing is good for adults, I know people in there 30s who are playing game since they where children.
Nintendo is genius
Thinking of buying a nintendo switch and this video helped me decide thanks for this informative video! keep it up!
Thanks! Really helpful as I'm about to resume gaming after a decades long hiatus, and specifically only have interest (for now) in the simple joys of Nintendo and Zelda.
This helped me decide which switch to get 🔥🔥
Little Timmy 💀
Just what i was looking for.thank you sir
Thank you so much I just got one and I needed tips so thank you❤
I loved your video and it was really fun to watch!!! I've just purchased the 2020 version of the original switch (the one that has longer battery) and I am very happy with it! I really love playing games like cuphead, mario and sonic mania! Your video was really entertaining and you deserve more attention!!! ❤🎉😁😆
Buying the oled version soon, it will be my first Nintendo and I found all my questions within this video. New subscriber
Well done video, good rhythm and clear information with some humor. Good job!
Just bought a switch for my grandson and bought another for myself. I'm so excited 😊. Thanks for the great info!!
Thanks for this. I’ve been planning on buying a switch for the past few days and have been hesitant to go pick one up because as a PC gamer I wasn’t sure how to get games, storage, SERVICES. I’m going to go grab an OLED today or tomorrow thanks to your video. Appreciate you.
thank you for the very easy-to-understand explanation of what this is. putting it on my Xmas wishlist :p
Im saving to buy a Nintendo Switch for myself and im excited to know about it's festures and services. I found this video very useful and gets me more hyped to get the console. Instant subscribe 👍
You bet ill come back with questions.
The way you tell things is amazing, you have a new subscriber :)
Thank you for this video, It was very helpful to me!!
Finally pulled the trigger on one of these after way too long! Can't wait to try it out. I haven't picked up a pro controller yet, but probably will soon after watching this.
Gifted this to my granddaughter and didn’t know one thing about it. Watched you and so thankful I did. You are the best and made it so easy for me to understand. 😊
Very helpful video. Thank you so much.
got a switch this holiday and kinda freaked out about not knowing what to do since this was my first nintendo device 😅
been looking at videos of how to take care of it and how to have the best experience and this one helped a lot with the latter topic!
thank you so much!
This has to be one of the most unique channel i ever found in CZcams! XD
Hope u have a great journey, buddy!
amazing video quality!
Incredibly helpful video! Thank u!!
What a great overall review! Thanks!!
First time watching this video. Bro just made me buy switch 😅 you are good 😊 Everything I wanted to know was explained and games recommended was plus. Thanks bro 👊🏼
love your channel idea man, please keep it up
Thank you bro ! Great video!
Thank you!! I was on the fence about getting a Switch but this video has helped me decide. So helpful and very informative, you answered all of my questions 👌👍🙌
...and yes I'll be getting one 😁
That was extraordinarily well done. THANK you.
Great video man! Just bought an OLED!
This was helpful thanks!
Terrific video. THANK YOU!
Thanks. You make it so clear
Thank you so much for this. I am planning to buy my husband the Nintendo Switch for Christmas (we do not have any consoles) and this helped me understand the differences with the original, lite and OLED. Looking forward to us playing many games in the future
Thankyou for such a clear and informative video. I'm definitely a seasoned gamer but never had a handheld console. This really helped me understand and get the correct one for me 🙏
Great explanation, subscribed!!
