I honestly can't believe its been a year already
old and new gamer I just realised for real dam its been a year.
old and new gamer It feels like yesterday. Like damn.
The GameCube will be 20 years old in 3 years...
Justin Raap that's so fucked to think about
Time flies faster the older you get. I'm 31 and it feels like I was 21 yesterday. I seriously can't believe I'm 31, I have to remind myself I'm not a kid anymore. It's scary AF how fast time goes when you get older. And yeah, the Switch feels like it just came out...so weird.
ive been watching for years and im still surprised how well he can talk to the camera. its very hard to talk for half an hour to a camera in a room by yourself and still have energy
Ha, thanks.
Nintendo: The only company who could throw logic to wind and succeed.
junior fio Ikr? Heck, thats basically what they did behind closed doors with the 3DS as a whole after a lac-luster launch
WHAT ABOUT SNK
Forgetting that the Neo Geo AES was supported until 2004
Almost 100k, proud of you man!
Thanks!
Side Notes:
7:00
Actually, Nintendo started development of Super Mario Odyssey LITERALLY after Super Mario 3D World was released on Wii U, so technically you're right on that regard.
13:19
HA! Soooooo true!
Man, the way you’re flying your arms around, I keep thinking your going to knock that stack of games down but you never do. There are so many video that I see of you doing that; I love it.
I really want to get the Switch, but I'm trying to talk myself into waiting to see if there is an upgraded model in the next couple years. I was all ready to buy the 3DS and then the announcement of the New 3DS came out and I was glad I waited. Of course I was waiting years for a newer model Wii U that never came and didn't get it until it was dead.
First world problems suck.
Michael Wolfe or just buy a switch and enjoy it then if they release a upgraded version in the future then just sell your old switch for it
I’ve learned in my life that if you wait for something better than you’ll spend your whole life waiting. And when you do end up getting it, there will be something around the corner better. I tend to buy hardware early and wait for price drops on software. Zelda has given me 100’s of hours of enjoyment. And I have a dozen or more games from year 1 I still plan on getting. I’ll grab another 6-10 titles next Black Friday. Lol
Yeah learned that lesson a la DS & 3DS, got launch models, years later, newer models came out with better features. So amen to that brother, plus there would be more to play by the time a newer model comes out.
Michael Wolfe im also very eager to get the switch but I'll wait until a Nintendo switch xl comes out sometime next year.
Hey are you still waiting because well if you are there not going to be one anytime soon
lovely video, good as always, keep it up man!
Thanks for watching!
I thought you would have made a mention of them bending and warping. It's one of the reasons I haven't go one yet. That aside awesome video as usual, thanks for the upload mate 👊
Thanks for watching!
21:15 Honestly, the less EA the better.
I'd wager that they're unenthusiastic about the Switch because of Nintendo's gimped online. Can't have always-online bullshit and microtransaction hell when the online infrastructure is a mess.
Wouldn't mind if the Burnout Paradise Remaster was on Switch but other than that, Nintendo and EA aren't a good mix any more.
All I want from them is a Mass Effect Trilogy re-release on the Switch and then to fuck off and go bankrupt.
I wouldn't buy anything EA put out anyway. They are the worst thing in gaming.
Biblioteca del Gris deffetly
dude your information and thoughts and especially your theories about the switch are SO different from any other video ive seen, you definately got it for youtube man, i subbd, cant wait for more
Thanks!
I could see games like Doom and Skyrim being relatively easy to port because at its core, the Switch's hardware is little more than a glorified NVIDIA Shield Tablet.
Funny i still have the Shield tablet and to this day i'm still using it. Even I got an second one through the recall a few years back and kept both via modding, basically a two for one situation.
saturnotaku Tablets arent always easy to port to, thooough.
Great video Adam love the birthday videos
Thanks!
Adam Koralik totally agree with you about games that are limited run and the fact that there’s way too many of them. I’ve just discovered that signature edition in the uk are doing Switch games also
Please do a Sega SG 1000 Retrospective Review
Joseph Tafur omg it’s the guy who asked adam about the olympics all stream
Another insightful video. Keep up the great work dude. You're close to hitting 100k and rightly so.
Thanks for watching!
Adam man, I’m making a dent in my own Switch collection and I have to say I’m kind of surprised but this console has got me so pumped! Excited for Q&A later this month.
Thanks for watching!
From what I gathered together, Odyssey never actually was in development for the WiiU.
However(!), the updates we received with the deluxe version of Mario Kart 8 was originally supposed to be the third DLC package.
That said, I still value the WiiU but the Switch really destroyed it once their was more than just BotW.
I REFUSE to believe that Odyssey wasn't in development for the Wii U at one point. Nintendo just said that because they have a bruised ego about the failure of the Wii U. For god's sake, development started back in _2013!_ The Wii U was only A YEAR OLD at that point! So no, I _firmly_ believe that the game was absolutely gonna be a Wii U title, but at some point down the line, the dev team got their hands on Switch development kits and swapped everything to there.
The Switch and Wii U crossover. There are intrinsic design choices that make sense for both, considering the Switch also functions like a touch screen tablet device like the Wii U had.
Jackson Vasquez
There is concrete evidence of Nintendo confirming that Odyssey was never at some point being developed for the Wii U.
Here is a source: "comicbook.com/gaming/2018/02/26/super-mario-odyssey-nintendo-switch-wii-u-development/"
That source is LITERALLY what I was referencing. You're gonna tell me they knew Odyssey was gonna be on Nintendo's next system when the Wii U was only a _year old?_ Horseshit. That's their bruised ego talking.
I agree. The game even runs on a modified 3DWorld engine. And let's be honest here.
Nintendo have lied many times. Remember, the DS isn't replacing the GameBoy and the Switch isn't replacing the Wii U.
Awesome video Adam year 2 will be interesting.
Thanks.
Sweet, was waiting for this video. Always interested in your thoughts
Thanks for watching!
Awesome video as ever Adam :) keep up the stellar work man!.
Thanks!
Such a well crafted and informative video, cheers for this Adam
Thanks dude!
Always love your birthday videos, a lot of valid points and nice to see you have a large stack of Switch games.
A good round up of everything and I really enjoyed what you had to say.
I almost bought a switch in Japan a few weeks ago, but got stuck in Hard off and ended up with a load of older items :)
Oh I have way more, just picked some to make points.
Another awesome video Adam 😉
Thanks!
they're always these guys who pick up a new console with FIFA and GTA and never buy anything else
Keep up the great work, Adam!
Thanks!
First video of yours I watched...I like it. Subscribed.
Thanks, welcome aboard!
I would imagine that convincing Bethesda to release Skyrim on a new system is not that hard. I'm sure the conversation was like
Nintendo: Hey Bethesda, we were wondering...
Bethesda: You want us to port Skyrim to the Switch? Say no more.
Nintendo: Yeah, how did you know?
Awesome video!
Not sure when you made the upgrade to a quality, well placed microphone but I sincerely appreciate it. Wish more TH-camrs would take note.
Love my Switch. Can't wait to get more games on it!
Great Video.
so uhhh... what about xenoblade chronicles 2 lmao.
literally the best jrpg to come out in over a decade, even beating out xenoblade chronicles 1 for me. Sounds like you haven't played it, I highly recommend giving it a shot if you liked the jrpgs of the 90s. It's a modern take on them, and it does it beautifully.
Great video adam
Thanks!
I was anticipating this video of yours more than the anniversary of the Switch itself.
Ha.
The first video of yours I watched was your Wii U review. I bought one, loved it, and have been watching you ever since haha
Thanks!
I always enjoy hearing Adam's thoughts, (live streams, 1 year later, console generations) Great series!
Armando Torres the console Generation serios was amazing
Thanks!
Great Video as always Adam. :)
Thanks!
Awesome video Adam👍🏻
Thanks!
Was looking forward to your video on this day! lol I've had mine since launch and I love it! I love it more now that I'm used to it. I mostly use it on a TV with my Pro Controller but like you, I travel and I love being able to use it easily in hotels as a screen with the Pro Controller. Also, I'm an engineer and I'll tell you that the ROM chip is modular so they are planning to add more storage in the future as larger ROM chips become available at a cheaper price point.
Thanks for watching!
you make a lot of interesting points in your speculation, it's risky and not a lot of youtubers do that. respect
Thanks!
BOSS ROSS
Hail the Ross!
Adam's predections/concerns is the stuff!
Thanks!
I was considering waiting for an updated model of the switch to be released but I can't see that happening for another few years so I will invest sooner or later
I have waited a year for this video!!
2:55 and timing is important too, when the first Wii came out people were still not willing to pay home broadband fees, majority were not spending money on games, they were learning about phones and MySpace. .
I comment as I watch your videos.. great videos Bro.
Thanks for sharing Adam. I'm not getting a Switch at this time but I'd love to have one so I really enjoy you sharing your thoughts. ;)
Thanks for watching!
Adam, I know you are not a big fan of handheld systems but I am still surprised that you didn't mention DS and 3DS and how popularity of these systems carried over to the Switch.
This is the video I’ve been waiting for from you haha. Also, that shirt is fantastic hahahaha
Thanks!
Im glad you are evolving in your video game theories.
Thanks?
Woohoo. Another video in a short time.
I have an NS, but I do not play it very much at the moment. It is definitely a port-machine. I buy a port thinking, "Hell yeah. I'm gonna relive the amazing fun I had when I first played the game," and it doesn't happen of course. It has happened over and over again. I'm insane.
Back in 2014 Miyamoto said that he wanted the next 3D Mario to be a launch title for their next system, so while it didn't make launch obviously, Super Mario Odyssey was likely one of the few first year Switch games that was always a Switch game.
I really am amazed at how well the switch is doing and the portable aspect was a smart move for example when im in school i usually take it with me with mario kart and then i play with all of my friends mario kart and everyone likes it often so far that they want to buy one
Can fit really easily in a backpack for travel. Often travel for a weekend or 3-5 days and it's not difficult to bring at all.
nice video man, and you bring up some really good points too, unlike 99% of the other youtubers who sound just like advertisers for the console
Thanks for watching!
Yes I've been waiting literally all year for this
Hope you enjoyed it!
Adam Koralik It was great thanks!
Finally up to this generation. I've been loving my Switch (purchased in Feb), and am enjoying how gaming has moved forward. I had the 360 but only really bought it for GoW. (am considering the GowXboxX since it looks reasonably priced now). Only just started looking at the games on the eshop, it's a tad overwhelming and I prefer owning the case...but the discounts! Still got your 6 years on and 2 years on to watch.
I'm a pretty big Nintendo fan, but I ended up skipping the WiiU entirely. The fact that all these ports are being released is great for someone like me. I'm getting to play some great games I missed out on the first time around.
Good work Adam keep it up
Thanks!
adam keeps bringing up nostalgia in his videos, can't relate though
never owned these old 8bit 16bit systems but I really enjoy games like shovel knight, duck game
it's more than nostalgia these are plain good games
In this case I was talking about the wider nostalgia effect our generation seems to have. We embrace everything from like 20 to 30 years ago. It's kind of bizarre.
You get a thumbs up for the bob Ross shirt
Thanks!
Hey Adam! I just rediscovered you after a couple years, haha. I currently go to Columbia, where you graduated. I feel like listening to your analysis is like we’re just friends having a conversation. I might get a Switch next month after E3, I’ve waited because I felt the same way you did a year ago plus I was burned by being so loyal to Nintendo with the Wii U. Great work, keep it up!
Things going well at my alma mater?
The Switch to me is also a portable screen with detachable joy cons. The flip grip will improve that, but we still need an official Left Joycon with a real dpad on top and thumbstick on bottom. To me the Vita is my go to for portable handhelds. Just everything about it is great.
One reason I feel the switch is so successful is because of the NES and SNES classic edition. They reminded people of how great Nintendo was, and that got them interested in the Switch.
It's crazy to see so many physical switch games stacked up. I honestly don't think I had seen the physical case to Mario Oddysey before I watched this video. I decided to be all digital for the switch before it released. The only physical copy game I have is Zelda and that because when I picked up the switch at midnight a year ago, they had stacks of Zelda and I decided to grab it so I wouldn't have to wait on it to download after I got home with it. I would absolutely hate changing gamecards. I don't have many switch games, but I love how often I have time to play it because it being portable. I have Zelda, MK8d, snakepass, oceanhorn, Mario Oddysey, yooka laylee, nba 2k18.
Great video. Only part I thought was a little disingenuous was the comment about Nintendo not releasing a lot of games you can only get on the system. Where in fact there will probably never be another year in the Switchs lifetime where you will see Arms, Splatoon 2, Xenoblade 2, Mario Oddssedy and Mario Rabbids, all major exculsive Nintendo releases, in the same year.
I do agree this year will mostly be ports and in the future we may get one or two 3rd party exclusive games. That's really what Nintendo needs to do. Keep building those 3rd party relationships. Too the point where they don't need all the AAA games coming out for the other systems, but make system exclusive games that can make just as much as a profit.
Thanks for watching!
They sure did pull a rabbid out of the hat. Great strategy game bro. Braawh.
I noticed with the WII U the games seemed to hold there value for a long time (well for the games i wanted anyway)
Imagine their price tag in a couple of years.
I picked one up a couple weeks ago and its awsome!
I don’t get email notifications for your videos anymore :/. When I press the bell it says ‘you’ll get some notifications’.
I used to get them, what’s happening!?
TH-cam hates me I guess.
That'd be amazing if they released a disc drive add-on that would allow us to play gamecube games. I already own an adapter that allows you to connect gamecube controllers to it.
I'm waiting for a price drop and an updated version to come out. I don't expect that to happen anytime soon though. Plus, the games are still out of the price range that I've set for myself.
if I HAVE to travel with it w/o a case, joycons go in left pocket, screen in right. that way its only about the size of a note
Fantastic overview, man! Spot on review. Personally I am enjoying all of these Wii-U ports, since I enjoy taking the Switch with me on travels. Hoping to see the Zelda remasteres get re-released soon, as they're some of my personal favorites on the Wii-U. Cheers!
Thanks for watching!
i was really surprised to see all the steam/indie games coming out on switch. i definitely didn't expect that at all from nintendo. i don't own a switch, but if i ever had any extra money i would like to get one at least for mario/zelda.
like I said Super Mario odyssey was a Wii U title and ported to the Switch theirs no way this game was done in one year.
I still haven't bought a switch yet because most of the interesting games for it I already own on other platforms, though I'd be tempted if they port Fallout 4 to it
Dude I am really starting to love my Switch
At 5:27, you made me remember that zelda breath of the wild was a wii u game. I remember watching the trailers and looking at the news that was coming out really early in the wii u lifespan, and then when this game came out, I completely forgot that it was ever a wii u game.
Upgraded Switch with bigger storage and maybe 3Ds / Ds card support ? maybe add a screen that can slide out to add the second screen to the Switch ? that would be kool but i doubt it prolly just an increase in storage if they come out with another model.
This is without a doubt the best series you've got going on on your channel
Got mine this year. I love it, my 4 year old daughter loves and lest not forget....no cds and back to "cartridge".
I'm waiting an updated or should I say a fixed model.
Regarding porting content, the Wii U was IBM power PC based architecture whereas the Switch uses an Octocore ARM baaed RISC processor which makes porting from various other platforms less complicated
Awesome video Adam! It feels like yesterday the Switch came out lol
It really does.
with ports i would put it down to the Nvidia architecture put that with a versatility os you can do quite a lot with it. i would not be surprised if the OS was a hybrid between the 3DS and WiiU OS as i am seeing aspects of both
@Adam Koralik
Not a Nintendo gamer but the SNES was my first system as a kid.
I can definitely see the similarities with the SNES and the Switch in terms of overall philosophy.
I'm surprised they haven't done a PS4 port of Ultra Street Fighter II yet.
I hate when they include 2 games but only 1 is on cartridge.
You make an excellent point about the internal storage being a big problem since if you download 1 game, system update, or patch for a game, you're pretty much done in terms of internal storage so as mentioned, a large microSD card is a must if you're going to be getting more than 1 game pretty much.
It's pretty dumb how the Switch doesn't support external drives and it doesn't even have 500 GB internal storage.
I'm sure Nintendo will do an updated model eventually.
How dare you forget to showcase axiom verge!
Great video btw
The Wii U was a Happy accident
Exactly, and i that's pisses me off because basically I've own a video game platform that was destine to fail by actions by the company
Lmao so accurate
David Robitaille it felt like Nintendo intentionally allowed / wanted the Wii U to fail from day one. Their lack of drive for the console was evident from inception.
um... no. no company would ever want their console to fail. they simply wanted to ride the success of the Wii and didn't market properly.
That shirt is a load of ole Bob mate.
I'm glad the switch is doin well. There should be a great selection of games for it by the time I get one in a few years when the 2nd update comes out with a better battery and more storage and whatever else they can think to do. I still wish it had a stylus for some nice HD hidden object games tho. I know, I'm weird.
I did not buy the Switch, I’m strictly retro with my gaming. The switch is a great idea, I’m glad nintendo went this route, I’ve always thought they should merge handheld and consoles, and Nintendo has done well. One thing people forget to mention is Sony’s 10 year plan for each console. If Microsoft or Nintendo offered a similar strategy or said “hey, we will support each console for 5 years or 8 years, guaranteed” you would see sales go up a bit from those two. We saw the GameCube, Virtual Boy, Wii U, and original Xbox have short lives, and that hurts consumers trust.
My concerns of it at first was... I pretty much knew when the console was made it was going to replace the Wii u... I didn't know they were literally going to take about every tittle from it, but still... my main concern was it was also going to try to smash the 3ds as well...
The one key thing Nintendo did right for the Switch in its first year is this, it's all about the games. Everything regarding multimedia apps such as internet browser, Netflix, Everyone Vote Channel, Miiverse, online streaming, gimmicky peripherals (such as the Labo stuff), backwards compatibility (which no longer benefit Nintendo), etc., all took a backseat while Nintendo let loose all the games first.
That Bob Ross aka devil beater aka most realistic painter I've ever heard of shirt though! NOICE!
About a couple weeks ago I finally got my switch. I love the system and all the games I have so far. I'll continue to buy more games both ports and new releases a like. Although, there is one game from the Wii U that I would love to see come over to the switch. And that game is Mario Maker. That was one of my favorite games for the Wii U. To bring something like that over to the switch would be a great. I feel like that would also push more units for sure.
love the shirt
Thanks.
The NX has been awesome!
Can't wait to see more originals from SNK, Ubisoft, Capcom, and the long awaited Bayonette 3!
Would die to see a Marvel or Capcom vs. SNK, "Toon" Link Zelda title, and hopefully stuff from Eidos like Tomb Raider.
Hey Adam, good video. I think your points are valid but at the end of the day it was a kids movie, more so than i thought it would be. If you were in charge of a sega universe movie series, which characters would you give origin movies to build up to a sega universe movie? And who would you have as the ultimate villain? If they made an MCU type movie series in this style which caters towards kids and adults, then this could be really successful.
+Adam Koralik, you my sir are a genius. Love your videos. You know your shit.
11:25 I don't know about Wii U games specifically but the Snake Pass devs said it took them 48 hours to port it to the Switch. As far as I know that is a relatively simple Indie title though.
In an interview I watched, Mr koizuni (who I think is the producer behind odyssey) said that they started development right after 3D world, so I think that garuntees thatit was a Wii u game
