NEW GAME STUFF 56 - Happy Console Gamer

[@DuelingDragonAdventures]

Johnny, thank you so much! I'm glad you liked our book (Chronicles of Aeres dude here!) I had to share it because we grew up with the same fantasy media like Willow and Legend and all the same stuff in the 80s that inspired us to make the setting, and that got me into D&D to begin with. P.S. we have a lot of lore videos on our channel about the setting as well.

[@kevinleblanc9498]

Your happiness is constantly unmatched by any other youtubers out there, keep the videos coming. Thank you

[@RyiSnow]

Johnny got a cutting edge game console and chose Phantasy Star which came out in 1987 to show its prowess. I love it.

[@marszciano]

😂😂

[@christahphur]

Sold off a big portion of my funko pop collection to gather up cash from it and put it towards a new LG CX and OLED Switch. Paid for all of it luckily!

[@natural8677]

All these tech channels Switch comparisons and yours was the best for me, really appreciated the top view comparison, screen comparisons. I'm glad you mentioned that it was heavier, I have been feeling like my original Switch is already quite heavy as a student so I don't think I'll be picking up the OLED yet. Thank you, Johnny. As always, great videoooo

[@justindimatteo]

I know this may seem weird ... but thank you for just being so positive and happy. :) It really made my day.

[@OzagSalo]

Youre passion and happiness always brightens my day :)

I grabbed up silent Hill on the og PlayStation Friday. I'm thrilled to finally get to play it

[@y_magaming9798]

They had all three at one of our local trade in stores. I went to try to get em but they were gone.

[@Walamonga1313]

Hell yeah, Silent Hill is top tier

[@opaljk4835]

It’s still available on the ps3 store. I can’t justify spending 100+ dollars on…well, anything right now.

[@allenwheeler5937]

@@opaljk4835 I got it with a box of other stuff for 30 bucks.

[@opaljk4835]

Allen Wheeler well aren’t we a lucky duck

[@gamingling]

Love the upgrades on OLED version, but I'm sticking with my lovely V2 for now, it's still functioning very well:) ...I've just started playing DQIIS, and recently purchased Tokyo Mirage, and Xenoblade Chronicle 2 Torna (I've been trying to collect all Xenoblade on switch).

[@statesminds]

All amazing games!! I'm sticking with my switch v1 until there are performance upgrades

[@EmptyZach]

The OLED is beautiful in person and I can’t believe Nintendo isn’t making a bigger deal about the build quality. It just feels so much better. That said, if I had the V2, I wouldn’t have upgraded. But GameStop gave me $260 for my launch Switch, so I felt it was worth it for me personally, especially with how much I play in handheld.

[@lew87ys]

I have the v1 and the battery isn't very good in handheld. Does the oled have the same battery as the V2 or is it an improvement over the V2?

[@EmptyZach]

@@lew87ys the reports I’ve seen is that it’s about the same. Coming from the V1, it’s a vast improvement.

[@gamingling]

@@EmptyZach That's a pretty good deal! I'm assuming because launch editions are unpatched hence the price they offered you.

[@joeyf150blacksunshine7]

Favorite gamer channel for sure. Sweeeeeeeet!!!

[@nomansarker5556]

I really enjoy looking at your collection

[@Ray_2112]

Bought "Metroid Dread" on Friday and played it all weekend. It's amazing, I 100%ed it yesterday and beat it - so great to have a new 2D Metroid after so long! I get the Special Edition today as well.

[@markherring3513]

How many hours to beat the game?

[@StephenGrala]

I got my brand new Switch OLED yesterday, my first Switch and very happy with it, got Zelda, Mario Kart. Ys Origins, Mario 3D collection, Bloodstained, Xenoblade.

[@1afeatherstone]

I ordered the Metroid Dread Collector's edition from GameStop and I should have my copy at my house today. My buddy bought me the amiibo set for my birthday and I can't wait to open them up and play with them with the game. I'm picking up Back 4 Blood tomorrow from GameStop and I'm planning on playing with my buddy through the game. Besides that, my buddy and I are playing back through the Halo franchise right now and we've played through Halo 1 CE and Halo Reach and now we're playing through Halo 2 CE in preparation for Halo Infinite! That's what I'm playing right now and I'm excited to pick up Guardians of the Galaxy on October 26th and Super Mario Party Superstars on October 29th.

[@KMACKTIME]

I was lucky enough to snag ys viii and dangarompa trilogy from NIS America online store when they did a restock

[@alpine1600s]

Johnny parties like it's 1999.

[@02337755]

Gets Switch OLED, plays Phantasy Star.

[@tntboom21]

Johnny! the sword at 8:38 is actually a usb stick with the game inside.

[@themailman3331]

I only play my Switch in handheld, so I was really psyched for the OLED model. I grabbed it yesterday, the picture quality is amazing.

[@coretaku]

Just got a poster for the SNES cover of Super Mario Kart. It's beautiful. Framed, and clean.

[@rob850]

Thanks for being my friend Johnny.

[@vmartir131]

Thanks Johnny. Love seeing ne items which give an idea of what is out there. Love the feeling of game love in your voice. Keep being yourself.

[@Japanismyfavorite]

I picked up the shenmue strategy guide after your blue stinger guide pickup. Good call going back and getting those guides, so much nostalgia. The amount of detail in the shenmue book is insane!

[@rimok.2765]

I couldn't find that Amiibo anywhere around. Sold out everywhere. Also, about leaving packages....my building uses a parcel pending system and the delivery people just leave boxes outside the lockers for anyone sometimes. I had four packages stolen....so that hits close to home.

[@TerraWare]

Brightness is actually about the same on the OLED as the first Switch's. You do get better blacks, a slightly bigger screen, thinner bezels and a glass finish.

[@Bottlesbybigd]

Hey Johnny my Nintendo store did have a nice holographic Metroid dread poster set available. Hope it returns in the store if you haven’t gotten one already.

[@mr.veebez4170]

Sheesh! I'm behind thanks for catching me up!

[@biggy11220]

Love you man keep doing what your doing.

[@randybradley4151]

That little sword with the MegaDrive game is a usb thumb drive.

[@CarnageCathedral]

I recently picked up all Ghost in the shell and Escaflowne blurays. As for games Assault Suit Leynos and Singularity

[@HappyConsoleGamer]

Great pickups! And Escaflowne is classic!

[@CarnageCathedral]

@@HappyConsoleGamer Thanks! I agree Escaflowne became one of my favorite animes after watching it 😁

[@CaptainMcTubeSnoot]

Capcom is releasing PowerStone and Megaman Legends vinyls, I hope this means something's coming soon

[@criticalhard]

I hope megaman legends switch happens and MML3 too. :(

[@BEARXCORE]

That SMT3 Nocturne poster looks stunning. Right on for showing that. I’ve had my eye on it and definitely wanna pick it up now seeing it in all its hellish glory. 🤘

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

I've got to admit the OLED switch looks extremely tempting. The nicer screen is huge for someone like me that mostly plays it in handheld. The only issue is the price - if it had just a little more juice it would have been an instant buy

[@douglascarter2078]

Walmarts here in the states quit carrying Amiibo as well, but I was able to get Metroid Dread for ten bucks less than any other store.

[@ArveEriksson]

SMT NOCTURNE POSTER ARE BADASS!!!1! Some of my latest merch-buys include CDs with songs by Suara (b/c Utawarerumono), sheetmusic from Xenogears (Me, able to also play it? BAH! Not on ur life!), a Noir soundtrack, Xenosaga 2 guidebook (Mikumari strats without level grinding for two months straight pls...), and... TWO CD releases from the anime Vivy Fluorite eye something-something. One a more conventional soundtrack, the other a bunch o' songs. Vocals an' things. Makes bugger-all sense to me, but it's all great.

[@arnoldosanabria8710]

Duuuuuuude THAT SHIN MEGAMI TENSEI POSTER!!!!!!!!!! Last time I had posters in my room were all rock bands when I was in my 15's. But that one I would have it for suuure now at 25 xD Awesome acquisition man, good taste

[@chasesmay7237]

I picked up that monster boy collectors edition as well. With the current cost of the normal switch cart, it was a pretty good deal…and promptly sold out due to that, I imagine. I’m excited to finally play it. Also, that smt poster is amazing…those are my favorite games:)

[@xenoblade6965]

Im curious to see where all this new game stuff is displayed, you must have another wall shelf ?

[@natural8677]

@@bloomerb4162 I know he's found some old artwork in some cupboard somewhere, I think there's a lot of storage space. Facinating guy ahaha

[@emnesia01]

What song was playing during the Switch review? Sounds so familiar!

[@darkraven6661985]

I absolutely loved monster boy. Fantastic game! Shitty about how it got delivered to you though. I don't usually have that problem because I live in a house but sometimes I worry about packages being left on my porch. And yet again, another amazing episode to make my Sunday better. Happy Thanksgiving to you and Kim!

[@ZiKoN22]

It's because of these new delivery services that are undercutting the big guys. Canada Post, UPS, Purolator, they all NEVER just leave parcels in apartment complex entrances. I ordered stuff from Limited Run before, and it always used to come by Canada Post. This time it was some service I never heard of before and it was just some random dude in his car that delivered it to my house. Those undercut services only care about how fast they can deliver something and price and they always just leave stuff, like in apartment entry-ways.

[@grgmj1980]

SOR4 was awesome! I sat down and played through it a few times just to absorb everything. It was great stuff👍

[@MegaJoeMeister]

Coming close to my end with Dragon Quest Builders 2. Also playing Dragonball FighterZ, Tales of Arise, and Castlevania: Rondo of Blood.

[@gargamel3966]

I just picked up cyberpunk 2077 for $8 from target. Will wait till the 1.4 patch to play it but that seemed like a great deal.

[@UltraVibePleasure2K]

metaljesusrocks has that metroid poster in his game room, though it's the Japanese version and smaller.

[@soullos555]

I've been picking up old strategy guides as well. Got Dragon Warrior VII guide. I love the artwork in it. Each town and region area is hand drawn. It's so cool. I also have Lunar Silver Star Story Complete guide coming. A bit spendy, but it's one of my favorite PS1 games so I splurged a bit to grab the guide haha. Can't wait for that to arrive. :)

[@Aging.gamer83]

I like that the screen is glass now on the OLED, too.

[@SilentAvenger97]

Let’s go Johnny!

[@mvsfunhouse]

Great review and additions to your collection! My recent switch pick up: Metroid Dread, Hot Wheels Unleashed & Cruis'n blast. Will likely add Switch OLED at some point down the road.

[@raggeragnar]

Hello Johnny ! The only thing I’ve bought lately is the boardgame ”Aliens-another glorious day in the corps” + the 2 expansions ”Get away from her you b***h!” , ”Ultimate bad***es” AND the ”Assets & hazards” bonus figures. Currently assembling and learning rules for gamenights with my 3 sons.

[@geminate]

The next stand looks much better on the OLED but I never broke off the stand on the original.

[@DragonHunterG]

Speaking of Power Stone, Ken recently got the Falcon costume in SFV. Pretty cool.

[@ShadowBasch]

That Nocturne poster is so rad, I need one! My latest grabs are La Mulana 1&2 Hidden treasures edition, found it for 40€ and it's a chonky box of stuff! Also found Dead or Alive 6 for 6,90€. Now just trying to finish Nocturne and SMTIV: Apocalypse before SMTV releases.

[@rorytaylor626]

According to Digital Foundry's review, the SWOLED actually isn't brighter than the base Switch. It's colors are more vivid (it has a color mode the base Switch doesn't) but it doesn't pump out more nits. They measured this with a fancy piece of equipment.

[@Walamonga1313]

I bought Valkyria Chronicles 1 and 4 as a bundle on steam a couple weeks ago. Absolutely loved 1, way more than I thought I'd like it. 40 hours into it already. Other than that, can't remember any other thing I've purchased recently.

[@crobinson2624]

I think the Metroid Samus returns amiibo set only got one print. I’ve never seen it available to order again outside the initial first batch.

[@tonytheriault1186]

I agree with you on the preference for the Super Famicom versions of games. The Japanese version of F-Zero is still in English, and the backstory for Captain Falcon on the label is worth it, especially since the SFC version was cheaper on eBay when I got it. That, and all the good Tetris games were left in Japan.

[@velosiped135]

What a coincidence, I bought the same Power Stone strategy guide a few weeks ago! I recently picked up Ghost Runner on Switch, Metroid Dread, and a bunch of Game Gear games.

[@natural8677]

The phantasy star colours pop right off that screen

[@seanthegamer1337]

I'm here!!! Enjoying the video!!!

Lol!!!! Lmfao!!!

[@seanthegamer1337]

[@LynnMooney]

Great video! Hubby and I grabbed the metroid amiibo, Monster Boy Collector's Edition for the Switch, standard edition on Bloodstained Curse of the Moon 2, No More Heroes 1, and No More Heroes 2. We're looking forward to Blaster Master 3 and the Castlevania Anniversary Collection hopefully sometime in October from LRG.

[@buttonsmasherable]

I picked up Castlevania Advance Collect on switch the day it released and Circle of the Moon has a been really nice to play on the weekends. I'm a Teacher in Training at the moment so I don't have a ton of free time.

[@xDraZtiCx]

Everyone says the joy cons has a tighter fit on the OLED but for me it's way looser.. the left side wiggles quite a bit but I'm not sure if i should return it since it isnt broken..

[@JPow51]

I had to get that Nocturne poster after you showed it here. I may have also gotten a Junes bag lol

[@wolfpack_104]

Went out and grabbed Metroid Dread when my local GameStop opened. I wasn't expecting to nab the dread amiibo since they're impossible to find online, but they had some in stock that weren't part of any pre-orders so you better believe I grabbed them. Still haven't beaten the game, but I've been loving everything I've played.

[@backslashio]

The Switch OLED weight difference is only 23 grams (or 0.8 ounces) by the way, barely 5% but yes you do feel it because it is still a bit heavier than what we're used to

[@donalddressen3038]

The last month I have picked up Ys Viii, Ys IX, Bravely Default 2 and Metroid Dread.

[@kosmosyche]

One thing I immediately noticed on OLED Switch is the true black color. With most modern displays (that aren't OLED) you kinda forget how real black should look. There is always a bit of grey-ish or blue-ish background glow that prevents from seeing real deep black. Because of that dark scenes especially always look a bit washed out. My friend was showing me his OLED Switch (I haven't bought one yet and tbh I don't know if I should, as my original still works perfectly) and I was like: wow, the black really looks... you know... black lol.

[@Ctrain-ue5bk]

I downloaded and finished Gunman Clive HD on my Switch and the game was freaking amazing. I absolutely loved the art style and music😀

[@TheCompletionist]

One of the things I do enjoy about these episodes is it gives me a rough idea of what some of the new things have been released gaming wise since I'm really out of the gaming loop these days especially with how busy I am with work during the pandemic.

[@tr1bes]

Me too. Unfortunately, most of these I'm going to ignore because some I've already gotten on different platforms.

[@carl0sthegamer]

Games I recently picked up and are currently playing are Xenoblade chronicles 2, Little nightmares 2, Grandia HD collection and Y's origin

[@kenzakiazuma6136]

I just recently thinking about pick up V2 and then the OLED version come around. I only have the Lite. When SMT V is around the corner, i cant help to play it on my big tv. So, im getting a V2. OLED is expensive and better on handheld mode because of that screen. Im more on console gamer and handheld on the go. Thanks for this review. I feel much better.

[@jims540]

- Is it a remarkable difference? ... No! Also: - This new screen will change your life ...

[@jak_1894]

I like the grey joy cons but they don't seem to be producing them to buy alone at the moment.

[@ncman071]

Just got the analogue super nt in the mail Tuesday last week and got Xardion in the mail today on snes....also been getting into the new re released toys ...mainly tmnt...gi Joe...ghostbusters...and masters of universe

[@Tyler16bit]

I got the Switch OLED as well, and as someone who upgraded from a Switch Lite it’s nice to have a traditional Switch again that can also connect to my tv, but also I’ve tried handheld mode and the colors really pop on the new screen so I’ve really been enjoying both parts of it.

Got a PS4 recently since I wait for the end of a console life cycle before picking it up. Let's see on my PS4 I bought Bloodborne, Star Wars: Jedi Fallen Order, Shadow of Mordor and Shadow of War. As well as PSNOW. Got A PS2 again as well picked up FF 12, Onimusha 1 and 2, Wild Arms 3 and a few others.

Just recently picked up Dread and Doki Doki Literature Club. Those Dread amiibos are pretty darn sweet, we could really use a reprint of those Samus Returns amiibos. Great pickups Johnny, that Super Metroid poster is dead sexy!

Metroid Dread is sublime! I feel so lucky to have picked up the physical game, alongside the special edition and amiibo 2-pack! I really hope Metroid becomes a more regular series for Nintendo.

[@hepwo91222]

been playing Castlevania Advance COllection (wish there was a physical copy) and Metroid Dread.

[@benjaminbarker6226]

I'm glad you gave you time to Demons of Asteborg! It's a great retro game and has a good soundtrack. Be sure to play it, I think you'll have a lot of fun. The Mega Drive/Genesis has had somewhat of a renaissance and received a fair few high quality new games over the last 2/3 years like Xeno Crisis, Ultracore, Tanglewood, Paprium, Cave Story, Tanzer and FX Unit Yuki. There's more on the way too.
