scott saying 2022 was a light year for switch when it had splatoon 3, kirby and the forgotten land, Bayonetta 3, mario + rabbids, xenoblade 3, and two pokemon games is wild to me. not an RPG guy indeed.

Kirby and the forgotten land was 1, not an rpg and 2 released at the beginning of the year

[@jaretco6423]

@@audoodle9963 Kirby & The Forgotten Land is easily my 2022's Game of the Year. Followed by Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Shredder's Revenge at #2 and Mario + Rabbids: Sparks of Hope being at # 3.

[@PikaPhantomVG]

It is kind of objectively the lightest year for Switch, though, in terms of game releases excluding games that were technically third-party. Triangle Strategy and Live A Live were both only published by Nintendo outside of Japan, and have since come to multiple platforms. Bayonetta 3 was funded by Nintendo, had EPD figures involved with producing the game, and was published by them everywhere, so I'd count it, but it is from a third-party IP. And then Mario + Rabbids Sparks of Hope was published by Ubisoft everywhere except for Japan, while for Fire Emblem Warriors: Three Hopes, Koei Tecmo actually published it in Japan. So if you remove every fringe case, they only had 9 releases, and at most, I think you can say they had 11 (with Bayonetta and FEW). 2024 has had 11 excluding Fitness Boxing 3, without Nintendo stepping in to publish games like Dragon Quest III HD-2D Remake. 2024 does feel quieter overall - smaller games, no real exclusive third-parties outside of Super Monkey Ball - but 2022 was pretty light when it came to Nintendo's actual output using their IPs.

[@MaxM210]

I'm gonna be real, I couldn't put down Mario RPG, and I have struggled to find the motivation to finish TTYD, so Scott saying the opposite vexes me. Also Xc2's release is pretty special for me, because when I was making my Christmas list for 2017 as a teenager, I put the game on my list having literally zero knowledge about it. I had not seen one trailer, not one sound bite, not one entry in the series before that, not even a photo or screenshot. I put it on my list because the Switch had a limited library in 2017, and Botw's dlc happened to include an armour set from it, and I thought the outfit looked cool. Christmas Morning I went into that game 100% blind, and seven years later, It's still my favorite game of all time. Now, as an adult who follows gaming way more closely online, I don't think I will ever have the experience of a completely blind playthrough of a new release game ever again.

Smash ultimate being underwhelming?? Scott, that release week was absolutely magical. Edit: Smash Wii U also?? I guess Scott just really doesn’t like smash that much. Smash Wii U was an awesome Christmas

[@PokeBallerLuke]

yeah I’m not really seeing what he means with those comments lol. Neither felt deflating to me, but I guess he was just looking for a different reaction from himself on launch

[@keysradiotheradio]

Likely he was underwhelmed by the single player experiences after enjoying Brawl when he was younger

[@wesreleases6346]

Scott doesn’t understand the appeal of Pokémon Mystery Dungeon and is seemingly unaware it’s the best Pokémon spin-off series.

[@droycon]

Yeah I prefer these games much more to the mainline games and I’d say they have much more put into them then recent Pokémon games. Really weird he says Pokemon isn’t for him but when it comes to pmd he treats it like this. Like he gives bdsp more credit then the mystery dungeon series, HOW????

[@ArtTheGaleWind]

@@droycon I don't even think Scott knows why people like this series or even knows that this series has stories beloved by many fans, I think he just looks at the gameplay and see how game journalists give scores to these games and just think they're worthless shovelware titles and never ask the stablished fans of the series about why they like it, it's just needless hate for the sake of needless hate and it's tiresome

[@okagron]

@@jaretco6423 Yeah, games like Bowser Inside Story and Thousand Year Door are significantly better. It feels like Super Mario RPG gets the praise it gets because it was the first mario rpg title and people have hard nostalgia goggles for it. But really, it's the most barebones Mario RPG (i don't count Sticker Star and the following paper mario games are RPGs).

[@jaretco6423]

@okagron Agreed. It's important as it brought the world of RPG'S into an Mario game. But as an game itself, it is nothing that special. I guess it is nostalgia that people seem to over praised it. But that's the same with something like Super Mario 64 or Zelda: Ocarina of Time.

[@emilyhorton996]

I think that "niche" games like Wario Ware are much better suited for release in the off seasons.

The first few hours of Link Between Worlds especially gives me liminal Christmas vibes because my family would always drive to this gigantic display of Christmas lights that was like 40 minutes away and always had a ton of traffic at that time of year since everyone wanted to see it and walk through it. So being a handheld game, Link Between Worlds filled my attention on the drive there and back that night :D Doesn't hurt that Link Between Worlds is the best top-down 2D Zelda game don't @ me my opinion is the correct one also no I haven't played Link's Awakening why do you ask

Skyward Sword was mostly alright, and I'd say I like it except for a couple things, with a big thing that prevented me from ever wanting to play it again, is on my second play through, the harp did not want to work properly. The remote was just being extremely jank and made it almost impossible to get past the mandatory parts. Then there's the optional stuff involving the harp I couldn't do, making it a Zelda game that it was physically impossible for me to 100% on the Wii. Supposedly you don't require motion controls on the Switch version, but I just don't feel like sinking more money into the game.

[@batmanbud2]

This makes me glad I got the Switch version.

[@okagron]

I don't know what Scott was going on about how people can't say it's a good game when I can say it's mediocre at best. The game has next to no exploration, it's overly linear it even compared to Twilight Princess, it's ridiculous easy, there's legit one good dungeon and that's Ancient Cistern (the rest range from decent to bad), it removed a bunch of great stuff from Twilight Princess like being able to swing your sword while running, the finnicky controls at no point feel like second nature, and it's padded to shit. He was saying that game having dozens upon dozens of hours like it was a good thing when it isn't, the game is padded to the brim with mundane, repetitive sidequests that make the player go through all regions three times each. For a while i never understood why i was so exhausted by the end of the game, but it's the padding that causes that. It was so bad that i took like a month break to actually finish it. The game is everything wrong with 3D Zelda games and it's no surprise Breath of the Wild is the way it is.

You say that Super Mario Odyssey doesn’t have much replay value, which is fair, but when I bothered to replay it in 2023, it got 10x better for me. It’s on par with Galaxy for me now.

[@colin8802]

It's super replayable, just not if you're going for 100% every time. The second time I played it, I was happy to put it down after beating the Darker Side of the Moon. After that point, the remainder of the moons start to feel like a grind.

[@SuspiciousScout]

@@colin8802 I disagree. Mario (specifically 3D Mario) is probably my favorite game fracnhise of all time, and even I struggle to find the motivation to replay Odyssey. The first time feeling of exploring the worlds and trying to find all the things is what motivates you to keep going, but after you know where everything is and know what everything does, there's not much of a reason to play again aside from Mario's excellent movement options.

[@colin8802]

@@SuspiciousScout I get why some people feel this way. Maybe it's because there isn't a mission-based structure where it's always somewhat clear what you're trying to do. Instead you just wander around and basically stumble upon moons, many of which could be considered "filler". I wonder if people would enjoy replaying it more if there were a separate mode with that mission structure and only the moons that take effort to acquire.

[@SuspiciousScout]

@@colin8802 That probably would help a lot. Previous Mario games having straight up beginnings and endings to grabbing stars or shine sprites had clearer goals and structures in mind. It also just allowed Nintendo to craft a path to those stars be more interesting and having more deliberate obstacles in the way. Many of the levels in Galaxy 1 and 2 make me think of this where each star in the same galaxy felt very different in the way you grabbed it, sometimes including entirely new areas. In comparison, since Odyssey is so open ended, the only thing Nintendo could really do is just have a bunch of hidden stuff to keep your interest outside of those dedicated challenge rooms via warp pipes.

Always a good day when Scott uploads a movie to Scott's stash. I will share my personal experience and opinion about Animal Crossing city Folk: i grew up playing the gamecube Animal Crossing game with my siblings and absolutely loved it. When City Folks released on Wii, not only were we looking forward to it so much, but it was pretty game changing in our eyes. I would say it is important to note that going from the Gamecube to the Wii is significant, you could play online at friends worlds or bring friends to your worlds which was new for Nintendo and Animal Crossing on consoles. There really was a ton of content in the game aswell and added on way more progression on top of what we were used to in the GC game. Just my personal experience

[@mattdog1000000]

Donkey Kong Country, Donkey Kong Country 2, Donkey Kong Country 3, Diddy Kong Racing, Donkey Kong 64, Donkey Kong Country Returns, all holiday titles and then...

It’s a Pokémon game, and that always means a baseline level of fun. But it was very clearly pushed out, and it wasn’t even a minuscule of what it could have been. Plus, it reused a lot of the code from the originals. Think about that. A $60 switch game is reusing assets from 15 years ago.

Why did he say “lineup” like Trump 25:08

For me Mario Odyssey is the most replayable Mario game of all. I’ve played it at least 7 times through

[@ExiAsWell]

It’s definitely very replayable (heck, I’ve played it four times and counting), but it’s not the easiest Mario game to replay. It’s kind of a heavy game with a lot of collectibles, and a single moon is not as substantial as a single star in Mario 64 or galaxy. Those games had substantial content behind each and every star, meaning that on repeat playthroughs, you’ll likely find new and substantive content. And because there are just so many moons with repeated ideas, repeat playthrough aren’t always as satisfying. Not every moon is substantive. In addition, the sheer amount of moons means that the game is less structured. In the past games, stars were more like “missions.” In this game, there are just so many of them that it makes the overall experience less structured and overall harder to jump into over and over again. It’s still an amazing game no matter what! I really went off, sorry this is so long. Thanks for reading it! 💖

@@ExiAsWellI think Scott nailed the difference between the design of Odyssey versus 64/Sunshine/Galaxy. Stars and Moons don’t represent the same thing. Moons are rewards for exploration, Stars are just signs that you’ve completed the level. If you’re replaying Galaxy, it’s about playing every level again. That’s going to be a more similar experience to your first play-through than exploring Odyssey again.

[@ExiAsWell]

@ absolutely! Odyssey is a very different kind of game than the previous ones, and it’s because of that… well, I just don’t really wanna replay it anytime soon.

[@jaretco6423]

As far as the open sandbox/collecthon 3D Mario games between 64, Sunshine & Odyssey goes, Odyssey is the best one. 64 is an important game, but it's very dated and the game gets obnoxious later on. Sunshine has the same state as 64 has, but worst IMO because of the game being more obnoxious and it can be buggy. Odyssey vastly makes QOL improvements over them and it's much more polished.

You are validating all of my Nintendo purchases for the last 6 years 😅❤

[@HDGamerofficial]

6 years?! Please, try 16 😅😅

Mario & Luigi: Brothership is this year's Holiday title.

[@tehpanda64]

Scott really invented the "month and year this game came out" type game

[@bluebrickmax]

19:46 Couldn't agree more. I got to a point in Age of Calamity where I was just grinding for materials and I didn't give a crap about the DLC if it was more of the same.

[@BROJANGSTER]

i remember 3 years ago when scott was like “metroid dread is finally here, and it’s… good.” what happened between then and now?! well, i guess he played it some more

[@JustJulyo]

This used to be a proper Scott channel! Not even 100 minutes? Come on Scott you can rant for more

[@two-nichegaming4482]

The key feature of the Switch was that in table top mode you could hand someone a joycon and play a 2 player game. After the lockdown I've noticed Nintendo increased marketing for their online subscriptions (subscriptions bundled with games). This holiday season I could see Nintendo offering an OLED Switch Choose One Bundle (at retail price) similar to last years Red Box Switch Choose One Bundle. The choices this winter season would be: Mario Party Jamboree, Echoes of Wisdom, and...

[@animeloverfan1010]

I think the reason lately for the bigger titles like Mario Wonder and such releasing before November is to catch that years award ceremony cycle. Since nominations typically close late October they wanna be eligible for the video game awards maybe.

[@blu3g]

In defense of Age of Calamity, the soundtrack f**king rocks and is super underrated and this game gave us a lot more time with the characters we never really got the chance to know too well

[@vianabdullah2837]

I have no what what people are yapping about with that game. It's probably the best story in a Zelda game outside of the unique ones like Link's Awakening and Majora's Mask. Master Kohga is a top tier character.

[@dominicyeomans8107]

11:50 very foreseeable past

[@EdwinShy3200]

48:11 Love that callback 😂

[@Ag3nt-MC]

And this years offering is probably gonna be brothership
