Switch got me back into gaming. Great system !

[@stratovariusforever]

Same here!

[@enriquepinero707]

It got me back into gaming and made me triple down on collecting games (digitally ) for it. I got most of the retro games I wanted through compilations (though the quality varies) and arcade Archives, as well as PS3 last gen games, Wii U games I never had and alot of new games as well. Nintendo Must absolutely keep this concept going with just improved power and allow for full backwards compatibility digitally and physically.

[@juliogodoy8296]

We are in the same boat. That temple of time BOTW teaser also helped.

[@donsantos8798]

[@battlestarnomore]

What was your last system?

[@coolnightskate]

I've commented this before but I bought a switch + BOTW in summer 2020 after I saw your final thoughts on it and how it's now your top game of all time. I feel like it's a really accessible system for non-gamers. After a few days of playing BOTW, I came downstairs one day to hear controller buttons clicking. My wife (a non-gamer) decided to start her own game file without even telling me! Almost a year later, having beaten all sidequests, shrines, and bosses, we now just casually walk around Hyrule with the Korok mask trying to find seeds. It's kind of become a new game within the game for us. When the sequel comes out, I feel like we will have to get another Switch and play it in different rooms so we don't spoil anything for each other.

[@Hir0-Protagonist]

Its been 4 years already!?!? Damn, time flies.

[@neoroxx]

I was not in the hype train at all when the switch was launched. Back then, I was in the midst of focusing on my career and I almost stopped gaming entirely and quitted the gaming scene, not knowing the latest news and stuffs on games. I bought the switch 2 years ago and I did not expect I will be enjoying it so much. It literally drags me back to the gaming scene. I was glad that I picked up the switch.

Wish i still have this feeling towards gaming, my interest in it has really started to die down over the last five years. Currently it's at an all time low. I pick up my Switch, play it for five minutes and just get bored playing, same with my Xbox One and PS4.

[@finchtm]

@@leecroft1983 I relate to this a lot. I love gaming but my passion for it has almost all but died out. I've actually gotten into game collecting more than I have playing. So most of my free time is spent researching games I want to buy for my shelf collection rather than putting in the effort for games I already own. It's been a few months now since I've played some games so I'm hoping that after a good long break I'll come back to my collection with a bit more fire.

I was out of console gaming for probably 5-10 years at that point. Saw the trailer on an ad and thought it would be cool to play Zelda while I travel for work. Bought it at launch day across the street and experienced magic the first 2-3 weeks with BOTW. I have probably 50 games now and is easily my favorite console of all time. Perfect console for me. Will keep it forever.

[@zenrix8422]

I think switch is my favorite console of all time, such an amazing machine and the games have been just as good

[@GameSack]

I'm an enthusiast as well, I have a Switch and it's... adequate. Nothing revolutionary. But please keep in mind that I don't use it in portable mode, I have little interest in portable gaming so to me it must sell itself as a console. As a console it's... fine.

[@Fishy956]

I completely agree. It almost never leaves my dock and I treat it like a console. Nothing particularly impressive about the Switch's hardware, especially with all of the faulty Joy-Cons issues. Some of the exclusives are absolutely incredible, but a lot of them are mediocre or just straight ports. I played Breath of the Wild on the Wii U so the Switch doesn't quite have that game on me either. I really want to like the Switch more, but I just have so many reasons not to.

[@retrodadstl]

100% agree I like console that's what sold me not the handheld that's a bonus and good for bathroom time 😂😂 bout it

[@IFinishedAVideoGame]

It's an absolutely remarkable console. I think a lot of people in 2021 get hung up on the ports or the graphics or the lack of a conveyor belt of constant first party games BUT the simple fact that this is a portable and docked console which competes with modern consoles is really the only major step that's resonated with me since the switch to 3D. It's just so different, such an amazing improvement and for people who can't just spend hours in front of the TV, it's literally saved the hobby! Love it!

[@CricketStyleJ]

Yeah, the library is very good. And I'm one of the lucky ones whose joysticks haven't drifted, so it's been a good experience.

[@JohnMedved]

I'm 54 and the Switch definitely is in my top 5 consoles of all time. I love it. It has some fantastic games too. You should do the same type of video for the PS Vita. Another great portable.

[@Renkaru]

I played so many JRPGs on the switch than almost any other new console out there. It's so good for that. It felt like the hayday of the 3DS for me.

[@jamesmcdonough4901]

I'd really like to see Metroid Prime 4 and a Metroid Prime Collection. Octopath Traveler, Fire Emblem 3 Houses, and the Turok ports were a nice suprise.

[@tomsimmons7673]

Been gaming since 1982 and the Atari 2600, and the Switch is my all time favorite system. I don't even use it in handheld that much. It's all about the games, starting with Breath of the Wild.

[@OpticLureProductions]

2:12 messed with my head

[@novelezra]

I love the PSVITA. I cannot tell you how wonderful it is to lay back of a sofa, get cozy, or on lunch at work and play. When I saw the Switch announced, I thought "holy crap, this could be the Vita2." And for the first time ever in my life, I decided to pre order a console and get it launch day with Breath of the Wild. I remember thinking to myself "Nintendo, please don't let me down, I am putting so much faith in you on this." To say this is the Vita2, is an understatement. I swear to god I have played more hours on the Switch, than the PS3, PS4 and Xbox one combined. I put 200 hours into Breath of the Wild, I just completed FFX12. Completed both FF7 and FF8 on the Switch and countless other games. (Especially Blaster Master Zero 1 and 2, which I consider some of the best indie games to come out on the Switch). I can be a graphics snob, but for the first time I found myself waiting for games to come to Switch, or buying the Switch port because I knew how lovely it would be handheld. I remember during the first 2 weeks of getting the system, at lunch at work I was playing BOTW and just awe struck with how beautiful it looked and even now, I wonder how they pulled it off. I can only hope they release a new Switch model to compete with the PS5 and keep those miracle ports going.

[@aaronreid8375]

I feel that way about the Switch Lite, to me it is the Vita sequel I wanted but from Nintendo.

[@nickj4526]

I sold my PS4 to buy more Switch games. Not even interested in the PS5. I just want more Switch games. It’s my new favorite console of all time.

[@SirFragalot]

The Switch has probably become the most important console in my life. I mean first, as a console I love the fact that it has the docked modes and the handheld mode. It has motion controls as an option but it's not built as the feature of the console so games don't need to have it. It also has the pro controller which is great. More importantly the Switch really helped me with important life choices. I had to end a relationship of a long time because things were not working out for us, but the Switch played an integral part of that. We both changed as people over time and she became less and less of a gamer and the Switch allowing me to just realize gaming is my passion and always will be, and that by being together we would never work out in the long run. On a happier note, me and my current gf have been good friends for 10 years before we fell in love and we really bonded over a lot of switch games. She loves Nintendo and JRPGs which I do too and I feel like the Switch really helped us bond closer and eventually realize hey we might actually be perfect for one another. So yeah, the Switch is a pretty powerful system in my book.

[@xxxxkanexx5761]

I agree 110%, the more time goes on I find myself playing my Switch more than anything else.. I started playing LoZ:BotW again since it first came out and I couldn't believe how much nostalgia I felt right from the start. It was like going back to Ocarina of Time or something... It's complete gold!!

[@greggski3710]

It's one of very few games I wish I could forget and experience anew. The freedom and excitement of discovery was something i haven't felt since Skyrim.

It blows my mind that it’s already been 4 years. It really feels like yesterday when the Nintendo Switch launched and I brought the Switch and a copy of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild home on launch day when I was a sophomore in high school. I had by mom wait in a line in Target for me while I was in class and I was blessed that stock for the Nintendo Switch and the collector’s edition of The Legend of Zelda: Breath of the Wild was still left. It was the first console I ever bought on day one. The Switch really meant expectations if not exceeded it with one of the best library of games of any console. I would definitely says the Nintendo Switch makes it in the top 5 greatest consoles of all time.

[@EthanLR]

You know, I'd really like to see a simple video of Johnny paging through his stack of Switch games with some gameplay footage

The Switch is the first Nintendo console I’ve ever owned, and my first new console since I got a PS2 when I was ten haha. Experiencing my first ever Zelda game (Link’s Awakening), as well as Super Mario Wii U Deluxe and Let’s Go Pikachu has been an absolute joy.

[@koolsush]

Great Video! As an Indian, Switch is not officially available, thus got the imported version from Amazon (Switch Lite). Have always had a PlayStation and before that Dreamcast as well. Had always loved my Vita. Thus, when I managed to get the PS5, decided to go for the Switch Lite as a replacement for Vita (my first Nintendo Console since NES). Man the experience has been so great. In fact, have played more of Switch than the PS5, absolutely loving it. Just love the portability of it. Wrapped up Paper Mario, Links Awakening and Super Mario Odyssey. But now, I am experiencing stick drift, and as Nintendo is not officially available in India, there is no warranty. Will look for 3rd party repairs. The stick drift is absolutely crap, only a 100 hours in and it’s gone. Apart from the drift issues (which is pretty big), am absolutely loving my Switch Lite. It just begs you to play it. It has given me the same kind of joy which the DreamCast had given me 🙂

[@joshduehr2898]

The biggest flaw so far with the Switch/Lite no voice chat in multi-player. Currently enjoying Monster Hunter Rise ( my first game in the series).

[@starwarstimeline]

Hey Johnny, I absolutely ADORE Switch as an RPG/Pixel Art gamer from the orignial Famicom days. It is a nostalgia trip that brought so many awesome "oldschool" feelings back.

[@TheSomberGamer]

This Switch is my favorite game console of all time. I love collecting for it.

[@MrSkyfish7]

For a few decades now, whenever I got games they were "my" games. Long ago my sisters moved out, life went on, and I was a solitary gamer, "the" gamer of my household. Last year I bought 3 Switches for my household and Nintendo has achieved what only they seem to be able to. My house is now a gaming community. When games are purchased, they are "our" games now. Even my mother has become a gamer with Animal Crossing. I bought Switches for my nieces and they Zoom with my mother and they play almost nightly with her, visiting each other's islands and giving gifts. I thought this would go on for a few weeks till they all got bored with gaming again... but no, this has been going on for 5 months now. My girlfriend and I are currently going through the platformers together; Yoshi's Crafted World, New Super Mario Brothers, and even some Donkey Kong Country. We did not get to go to Prom together and we're planning to have a Animal Crossing Prom complete with Spotify playlist and fancy dinner. I am a Sony fanboy. I haven't had a Nintendo since the N64. But once we got the Switch, we had to buy several because my whole family is just coming together in a way that I never saw with other systems. For all the talk of Nintendo not knowing what they're doing, they sure do hit the nail on the head in amazing ways.

As a gamer that all those years I was split between portable and home consoles (because I love them both), the Switch is a dream come true. In terms of games, I use it mainly for exclusives and indies. And let me tell you I use my Switch way more than my PS and Xbox. I play 20-30 games per year, and more than half of them are on the Switch since 2017.

[@MotoguyX5]

The Switch has become my most used gaming device despite owning everything including a PC. The pro controller is amazing, and as you said, being able to play at home on the big screen and then take my Switch to work and play on my break, or even lay on the bed and play is amazing

And still 4 years later most all the best games that were on the wii u still haven't come out on the switch.....

[@lpking2005]

The NES was my first console and I've followed them ever since with the Nintendo 64 being my personal favourite. But I have hardly used my Switch since launch. Occasionally i will have a quick session with it but it never keeps my attention for more than an hour. Nintendo is a company that frustrates me so much. They need to modernise their standards as a business, make a powerful system with true next-gen features and take online more serious. They are sitting on a gold mine of IP's that they do nothing with. With the level of quality that Nintendo is capable of, I could only imagine what their developers would do with a truly powerful system! Imagine a 4k/60 Zelda or Mario.

[@ActionJaxonH]

It’s not all about pushing graphics. We already have 3 other platforms for that. Switch is for hybrid play and pushes graphics for a portable. Monster Hunter Rise is the best game I’ve ever played, and on a hybrid system? Shoot. If anything, Sony and MS frustrate me- their games could be so much more enjoyable on a hybrid machine.

[@Xanivert]

@@ActionJaxonH I'm so sick of hearing the "we already have other platforms for that" argument. Yeah, but those other platforms don't have exclusive Nintendo games. That's the whole point. We want Zelda, Mario, Pokemon games at at least 60 fps, 1440p/4k. Also, just played the demo for MH Rise, it looks and feels like it should be on the Gamecube. My god. Maybe I'm just spoiled with the PS5/XSX/3060 Ti, but after playing most games at 60fps minimum, it's hard to play 30fps games. Nintendo has no excuse to be pushing mediocre hardware, they have all the resources to do better.

[@timdrake4951]

@@Xanivert Imagine how sick we are of the "but the graphics" people. I don't care about graphics. Looks like BOTW? That's all I need. Looks like Monster Hunter Rise? Great. I don't care about graphics unless they literally INTERFERE with playing the game. I care about the gaming experience, I care about having fun and nintendo clearly knows there are a LOT of us that DGAF about the difference between one of the other. It's not a movie, i don't care. And the success of the Switch proves there are a LOT of people like me. If the graphics are the reason you're not enjoying your games then don't get a Nintendo.

My wife and I recently got a switch for christmas of last year but we only have one game for it which is octopath traveller and we were really enjoying playing the game together, but we haven't touched it in a while, and now that I'm working away from home and I left the switch in my wife's hands but I've been more focused on playing a lot of retro titles then current titles but I am completely amazed with the game library from the switch because even if it doesn't have the same level of graphics that the new current systems from sony and microsoft, I love the fact that they are making games that will retain an addicting timeless factor to them.

I just got my Switch this past December and I wish we would have picked one up sooner! I've been busy all year playing as many games as I can. Switch is great!

There's so many games out now my back log is nuts. I love the switch i'm finding myself playing in handheld mode alot it's just fun, and there's something for everyone.

The switch has been great, a very nostalgic system. So many older games that I wanted to replay, now in handheld form. From nes & snes games to ps3 games I loved like dragon's dogma/kingdoms of amalur/ ni no kuni, to all the older final fantasy games, and even baldurs gate 1/2 portable.. I just never thought I'd get something like this from Nintendo. The company that didn't have 3rd party support for so long.

I’ve had my Switch since launch and I’ve absolutely loved every minute of it! I played over 100 games on this console and have to admit that it has overtaken my Sega Master System and Genesis as my new favorite console! Great job Nintendo and thanks @happyconsolegamer for always keeping the content fresh and entertaining!

I have owned my Switch for about 4 months now. My library is steadily growing. First game I bought was LoZ Breath of the Wild. Recently, Hades. I usually don't play roguelike titles, but it caught my attention, and I love it. I enjoy the Switch library, because some titles are not available every where else. There is a lot of variety, and something for everyone.

Nice video, switch is probably my favourite console... Nintendo have done a great job. I have ps5 but I always prioritise playing switch, I enjoy it more... I play it on my lunch break at work some days, I can play whilst my partner watches tv... it’s really brought my enjoyment of gaming back.

The Switch is hands down the best console ever for me. Ninty totally knocked it out the park with this one.

[@gundambassexe31]

[@tazmanceltic]

Absolutely love my switch, one of the best consoles ever released...

[@nicemecha]

I've only own a Switch from last January and its already becoming my most favorite thing ever😁 Favorite games on it so far are all the Super Robot Wars (V,X,T), Pokemon Sword and Animal Crossing New Horizons.

I’ve had the Switch since launch but only recently have I gotten time to play it for extended periods and I love it.

[@ActionJaxonH]

Switch is my favorite console of all time. It’s so epic. And *Monster Hunter Rise* is the best game on that system. Though I do have 350 physical games. Thank goodness for 1 TB micro SD cards. I need a 2 TB card though.

[@Marcustopheles]

I really had no hype at all when it came out, but now it's become one of my favorite consoles of all time.
