    • @TrimeshSZ
      @TrimeshSZ 4 ปีที่แล้ว +21

      That's not really true though - yes, it took nearly 20 years before anyone managed to hack the CD Block, but that was basically because it wasn't necessary to do so. The boot security was broken less than a year after the console came out by connecting a modchip into the CD drive cable that faked up the correct security responses and made any disc appear to be an authentic Saturn disc. In about the same timeframe, the Action Replay cartridge was released, which let you (among other things) download arbitrary code to the console and run it.
      I'm not claiming that reverse engineering the CD Block and abusing the MPEG card interface to hijack it isn't a cool hack, because it definitely is - but the console was pretty thoroughly hacked decades before that.

    I thought I would want a switch lite but after learning more about it its probably just more beneficial to buy the new version on the switch console during black friday month this year. No reason to miss out on all the features.

    • @Guttlegob
      @Guttlegob 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      I'm thinking this too.
      1.) Switch can dock
      2.) Switch has a kick stand
      3.) Switch has removable controllers for (2 player) / (joycon drift
      4.) New improved and better battery life
      If money is no issue, then it makes total sense to buy the original Switch. The bonus of the lite is the comfort and the Dpad. The Switch Lite is a new DS that can play Switch games with no backwards compatibility.
      Black Friday will be interesting.

      @@Guttlegob even if money is an issue, still but the regular switch. If you just want handheld play, just selling the dock and joy con grip will save you more money than buying a lite. Most of the problems with the original switch stem from the crap joy cons, which drift and don't have an ergonomic shape. This can be solved by selling the standard joy cons and buying better (and cheaper) third party ones. They are a few on the market and some surpass the originals. This will save even more money as well for you.

    For people who already own Nintendo switches? No. For people who a want switch.. eeehh save up a bit more, having the ability to connect to a TV is a great feature that I use and I like using the ability to go from handheld to TV mode. also stick drift, apparently the analog sticks are similar so you'd have to take it apart and put new analog sticks in, unlike the full sized switch where you can get new Joycons and don't have to worry about taking an entire console apart to replace the analog sticks.

    • @WednesdayMan
      @WednesdayMan 4 ปีที่แล้ว +1

      still go for the original switch as without docking you can easily improve your handheld mode experience with custom joycons, like the Daemon X Machina Joycons, The hori D-pad joycon, the Ipega PG 9083 or the IPEGA PG 9163, not to mention using joycons you can buy seperately and having a larger screen for table top multiplayer with an inbuilt kickstand incase you don't want to pay for an external kickstand.
      The switch lite is a more single player focused system, while having no intention to dock the system is understandable the original Switch can still be a better choice due to its larger screen, higher level of customisability and easily replaceable joycons, and the Dock makes for a good charging station for those with small amounts of table space.
      lastly the Stick drift, we've already established that the Switch Lite
      analog stick design is scarily similar to the ones used in the joycons and as a result we can expect drifting issues to occur a lot, which if you want to fix yourself be prepared to take an entire handheld apart to do so in an effective manner, or make sure to get a case when putting it in a bag.

      I would feel incredibly uncomfortable lugging around the OG switch. It's gigantic, and while I think it's fine for other people to carry around if they're comfortable, I personally wouldn't be. If I want a portable console, I want it to be able to slip into a jacket pocket, and not be huge, so for me, it's perfect in that way. (Especially considering it's more for people who don't have a switch already).

    I owned a switch lite for about 2 months. Played breath of the wild and mario oddysey, then i just fell out of love with it.
    I bring a 3ds xl/ 2ds with me now for portable gaming, and its honestly much better if you want to play some of your favorite tiles on the go. I know it seems like a silly comparison to say with lite vs. 3ds, but my uses were for a portable gaming console. The swith and switch lite are just not small enough, or comfortable enough to fill that need for me. I just ordered a refurbished switch on ebay for $250, and i reccomend that route if you dont want to fork out the full amount for a switch. You will want to play your lite on the tv at some point, and some of my favorite games like mario kart and smash bros just aren't as fun without being able to round up your friends and play on a TV.

    As someone with an OG switch who pretty much only plays it in handheld mode, this would have been great... if it were to get hacked

      What does hacking mean and what would it do is it hacking in a good way or bad?

      It's called "Untitled Goose Game". It's a pretty good stealth game.
      Edit: Just to be clear, despite what it may look like, this is not a joke reply lol

    Man I can't afford any game system right now because I'm really struggling to stay afloat. My sobriety has to come first, so I watch your channel to give me my gaming info needs. I have going on 3 years sober from heroin and all drugs. I'm so thankful, don't get me wrong but I'm really missing video games. It'll come maybe not when I want it too but it'll come.
