It's interesting to see how Strider has evolved over the years. Starting with cartoons, moving onto food and lego and now entering the realms of video games(which he has done a bit before). I think its quite impressive how he can cover so many topics as some content creates can't do that. Good on your strider :3
A part of me wishes he talked about recent cartoons like The Owl House, Amphibia, Glitch Techs, etc. but I still enjoy what Strider does no matter the topic
I guess it because you know some people grow out of joy of watching cartoons. I know I have. I used to love watching Steven universe , Gravity falls, StarVsevil, SpongeBob, Fairly odd, Adventure time, etc. If I was still a younger dude today I think I'd like those new toon, but I found it hard to sit down and watch them. Sometimes cartoon humor can frustrating and I feel like I couldn't give the same enjoyment as I did as someone below my 20s. I recently like Harley Quinn, but I wish they would tone the Crassness a little. P.S. I also have a sorta TV childhood back in the day so I really wished I trade that in for friendship. So trying to better my mental health.
That's the fun thing about "Top 10" channels! The creator can just do a top 10 list of whatever they find to be interesting, so they're incredibly versatile channels!
Weird, yes, but the gas mask game boy thing is actually brilliant. Surgery is a terrifying concept for adults, but for children it’s a literal nightmare. Letting them play their favorite video game as they’re slowly sedated keeps them calm and collected. I really like that idea.
I had surgery for the first time earlier this month, and I fell asleep before they even gave me any gaseous anaesthetic XD They gave me a few pills to take before wheeling me away and I think one of them might have been for sleep. I struggled to get up onto the surgery table I was so sleepy
The joycon drift issue can be permanently fixed now with replacement gullikit sticks. They use magnets instead of physical contacts making drift impossible
Been using... can't remember what it's called, but it's a liquid designed for cars, comes in a can with a thin, plastic nozzle which can spray the liquid under the joy con flap. Doesn't fix the issue permanently, and when it does fix the issue for a while, I sometimes still have to put up with VERY minor drift, but nothing unbearable and it works. Point is, it's a non-intrusive, non-technical, temporary fix, so how does the gullikit stick work? Is it simple to set up?
To me, this seems like an answer manufactures had for a long time to fix drift but didn't implement because it kept production costs lower. I mean, there had to be engineers at these companies who knew of a different mechanism to use. But hopefully these new sticks become standard.
You can just pour isopropyl alcohol in the stick and rotate it a bit. Really easy fix. When you get stick drift, pour isopropyl alcohol in the stick area and rotate it for a bit and you’re good to go. Save that money on buying a new controller my friends unless you want multiplayer.
I hope Josh doesn't stop doing cartoon and movie reviews completely. I'd love to see him remake the lists for worst and best animated movies of all time, worst and best modern cartoons, or even another cheery sponge bob video! Its not that I dislike his new content, I'm just a sucker for the good old cartoon reviewing days.
Plus even after 7 years (or over) since he made “Top 10 Worst Disney Channel Shows”, Josh is yet to make “Top 10 Best Disney Channel Shows” (and maybe “Top 5 Best Disney Sitcoms” because in early 2017 (the birth of the Nintendo Switch), he also made “Top 5 Worst Disney Sitcoms” because sometimes even Disney can make tween sitcoms like Nickelodeon) because besides the fact that he made “Top 10 Best/Worst Cartoon Network Shows” and “Top 10 Worst/Best Nickelodeon Shows”, I have predictions of how the list will go anytime he makes it! 10. Lizzie McGuire 9. The Suite Life of Zack & Cody 8. Even Stevens 7. American Dragon: Jake Long 6. The Owl House 5. Amphibia 4. That’s So Raven (franchise) 3. Rapunzel’s Tangled Adventure 2. Recess Honourable Mention: The Disney Afternoon (save for Quack Pack) 1. Phil of the Future
I prefer XBOX like XBOX live since Nintendo online made a terrible mistake like removing cloud data if you don’t pay every month, and it’s also glitchy. XBOX live is free, so it’s recommended to switch to Xbox
Joycon drift isn't just a Nintendo problem. I have my PS5 controller experience something similar with the camera. For the past couple months, it keeps going to the left after a random amount of minutes after using it. It's an on and off problem but one that is really disorienting to me, especially when doing photo mode with the games I play.
I don't get how these idiots think the drift defect is a Nintendo exclusive issue when it happens on other companies controllers as well, its not like Nintendo CREATED the drifting issue on purpose, it probably only happens more quickly due to how poorly executed the Joycons were designed since they're small as fuck, it's not entirely Nintendo's fault but it still kinda is and the fact these Joycons are so fucking expensive doesn't help 😑
Love that Boo has gotten so much more animated! I have been a fan, subscriber, and watcher for a few years! Loved this video and when you do longer content. But it's nice to see Boo more often! I kinda think of him as the 'Pokemon' you'd have outside its Pokeball like Pikachu And Pika is just as iconic as Ash! Would love to see more little cut aways with Boo
I've got the Year of Luigi 3DS, and I used that thing so much it's actually broken IIRC Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, New Super Luigi U and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team also sold rather well
I know right. I have been a massive Nintendo fan all my life. But their greediness this generation has genuinely made me dislike them and I have now moved on to PlayStation. (Seriously, screw Joy Con Drift). Of course. I will still buy Nintendo game when they are good. Like Metroid Dread and probably Zelda: tears of the kingdom when it comes out. But I’m done pre ordering disappointing games like Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis and Nintendo Labo
@@nine_tails137 exactly. I can actually understand it with PlayStation. You get 36 free games every year, there are dedicated servers and it just works without any connection errors. Yeah, I would prefer it to be free. But at least it works and is actually a good deal. Nintendo Switch Online is just shit, since you don’t pay for anything. Nintendo isn’t even maintaining servers or anything. All their online is done peer to peer (completely dependent on Wi-Fi). Making the connection slower. And they don’t have to spend a dime. It was free during the Wii, DS, Wii U and 3DS era. I don’t mind paying for it, if they actually enhanced the experience. But it honestly feels like the Wii U had better online. There is no reason we should pay for it.
Oh, I can explain the vitality sensor! There were actually two uses. One I had heard about was for those extremely frightening horror games, the sensor could pick up how frightened you were and make things... arguably worse. Nothing like letting a horror game know you're scared to make it make it worse. Second, for the calming thing, this is classic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. A biofeedback thing. You get a look at your heart rate and do the breathing techniques to reduce it, and you work on it in realtime with feedback. Trust me, I'm a nuthatch who got just enough therapy to not expire from constant anxiety attacks.
I love how expansive Phantomstrider is with his types of videos. From TV, movies, food, products, games, and much more, I am always entertained by the great variety he has in store for us. This one is one of my new favorites too.😃
@@JustaHedgehoginSonicBoom Exactly! He also takes controversial topics and odd problems with an ounce of humor, but with wholehearted understanding as well.
The real reason for R.O.B. was that, because of the video game crash of '83, retailers no longer wanted to sell video games. Nintendo came up with this gimmick to originally sell the N.E.S. as an "Interactive Toy with a Robot." This ploy got the console into stores, as well as the games. Once Super Mario Bros sold like mad, retailers' mentality towards selling video games changed forever and the rest is history :)
Speaking of Smash Bros. Smash Ultimate should have been on the list. Since that game is evil Satanic trash that's not even worthy of the table scraps of the Wii Shovel Ware Department.
I work in game console repair, and can shed some light on the cause of joycon drift. There's a thin metal plate on the back of the Switch's joysticks. Drift is caused by a dent forming in this plate. When the plate becomes dented, it means that there's no longer enough tension to keep the joystick centered. Unfortunately, this means that unless you have the tools to open your joycon, there isn't much you can do about drift. To avoid your controllers starting to drift in the first place, the best advice I can give is to be gentle with your joycons, and avoid pressing down on the joysticks too hard.
Personally, I feel like a lot of Nintendo's recent faux pas (mainly the poor handling of the NSO) is a direct result of Satoru Iwata's passing. He really was one of the best things to happen to Nintendo from a business standpoint.
I rarely use NSO, but when they make an SV Pokemon COMPLETELY dependent on it to evolve (Finizen-->Palafin) the completionist in me begrudingly got the lowest tier sub for it. Can't use Pokemon Home without it either, it's how I bridge transfer my version exclusives in SWSH with only one Switch to use. Because I really don't want to drop $500 on another OLED Switch just to trade (and then have to pay for NSO AGAIN on the other Switch).
@@jazzratoon I never had that, my internet wasn't good enough to handle online play with my PS3. Never got a PS4 and if I wanted a PS5, I can't find one anywhere.
Like the new Pokemon. I really wanted to play it but after hearing and seeing just how poor the game's quality is it definitely isn't worth the money and I am appalled that Nintendo would release such an unfinished product.
*proceeds to make Mario Sunshine and Majora's Mask, two rushed games that are one of the best ones in the series* *also makes Star Fox Zero, a delayed game that sucked massive chode* Miyamoto never actually said the quote, btw, even if he did, such a statement would be completely wrong
I'm so glad to hear someone else like the Wii U! Maybe it isn't the most stellar console out there, but it was a great replacement for our Wii after it sadly stopped running. And Nintendoland granted me and my sibling many, many hours of laughs.
2:45 That is literally a Total Drama character dressed up as the Angry Video Game Nerd. Also, congrats for Nin for nailing those voices of critics and especially having a perfect voice for "Karens" although I still want that internet trend to just cease to exist.
I'm surprised you didn't have Joshscorcher in on this. He actually did a similar list nearly 3 years ago called top 10 Nintendo Fails, not only that, he's also done lists of top 10 fails on other game companies, like SEGA, Square Enix, and even EA.
Still Wish that Strider and Josh put Super Smash Bros Ultimate on their list. Since that game is demonic trash that was made in one day then vomited out the next day
@@Rusticabcd agreed but its the console that ruins it, the switch is absolute garbage. I’m sorry to say that if you’re a fan but it genuinely sucks imo
@@Rusticabcd honestly it wasn’t that bad but I just have a huge hatred for the joy cons and they ruined my whole experience with the switch especially since I was really looking forward to it. To me it’ll never be redeemable and I hope their next console doesn’t have the same issues.
Pretty cool video; however, I must mention that the CD-i was actually originally marketed as a general hardware device, with Phillps releasing art galleries and office software on it (including one for Burger King, strangely enough). It wasn't until late into its life that they tried to market it towards gamers, but thanks to its limitations (e.g. can only have two-screens work of stuff at once), with the exception of Tetris, practically all the games released on it stunk.
As a Die Hard WiiU fan, it still hurts. It hurts so much too me. I’ve had my WiiU since I was six on Christmas 2013 and it’s such an underrated system with so many neat features and incredible games. And considering that basically half of the Switches games are WiiU ports, think that shows
Keep it up on your work and this video and channel I ❤️ this video and channel Thanks you for your video and channel Love yourself first and most Believe in yourself Quitters never win and winners never quit Don't give up and never give in Ignore those who try to discourage you Hang on to your dreams Take care of yourself Take control of own destiny Keep moving forward Stand up for yourself Stand tall and be brave Speak up for yourself Stay strong Act of kindness people
2:29 That made me laugh 😂 Kids (like me) were *also* growing up in a time when Nintendo meant it might work this time or it might frustrate you. Hands up 🙋♀️ for all my peeps who spent hours of their childhood blowing in to cartages.
I love Nintendo so much. I know that for sure, it is my favourite thing ever so I am glad you touched upon this. Especially since it is things that I have dealt with like the joycon drift. It is very annoying. And even though I knew all of these, I enjoyed it all in the video
YES!!!! THIS IS EXCELLENT!!!! I absolutely love the video, man! Some things I want to point out (watch out, long comment): 1) If you're wondering why the N64DD was being delayed constantly, the reality is that Nintendo was waiting for a proper install base for the system to exist, which was to have 5 Million N64s sold in Japan. However, the N64 was actually somewhat of a failure in Japan, only reaching 5 Million in 1999 and not really exceeding that number by the time it was discontinued, a byproduct of third parties leaving Nintendo for Sony and SEGA thanks to their consoles using CDs, the N64 being a hard console to develop for, and third parties hating Nintendo's censorship policies and stuff. 2) Also in regards to the N64DD, in actuality, Nintendo was well aware of CDs being a thing developers wanted to use, but they were unsure about them because disc drives back then were very slow and, during the development of the N64, they hoped that disc drives would get faster when they actually start working on the N64... but they didn't, so they went with cartridges, but made a compromise with the Magnetic Disks, which could hold so much more than cartridges (at the time), but didn't suffer the speed issues that disc drives had. Some developers did like the Magnetic Disks, but as the N64DD's delays happened, they got cold feet and left Nintendo over it. 3) I have to say, the CD-i section is kind-of wrong in a few areas... but to be frank, that whole story is confusing and probably should be a video in-and-of itself. For one, while Nintendo did snub Sony for Phillips, it was actually because the contract would have given Sony the lion's share of control over the product and games rather than Nintendo, hence the betrayal; it's still stupid, but it does explain why it happened. Also, it should be clear that Nintendo asked Phillips to develop the same thing they asked Sony to do earlier, which was to make a CD-based add-on for the SNES, NOT the CD-i, as that was purely a Phillips product made before Nintendo was involved with Phillips in any way. Finally, SEGA was actually on top of the world when the SNES CD was in development and would still be around for a couple of more years; actually, the SNES CD was cancelled because Nintendo saw the SEGA CD fail and wanted out, along with hardware concerns over the SNES CD working with the SNES, and Sony actually went to SEGA to try and work with them, but while SEGA of America liked it, SEGA of Japan said no, saying Sony didn't know what they were doing in gaming... oh, were they wrong... NOTE: the SNES CD story is wild, crazy, and complicated... it's definitely worth a look into 4) For more context on the Nintendo-based CD-i games, Nintendo only gave Phillips the license to use Nintendo characters for a few projects, with Nintendo having NO OTHER INVOLVEMENT in those games' development aside from design approvals; those games sucked mainly because Phillips hired inexperienced developers and provided shoestring budgets to make these games and didn't really care about gameplay, only graphics and technology. It didn't help that the CD-i was not really designed as a gaming device, but as a multi-media device that can do all sorts of things in an okay manner; it's actually a decent piece of hardware by itself, but terrible for game designing (especially of the Nintendo caliber)... although a high price tag is what killed that thing. I loved the video regardless, Strider!
Wait the Amiibos were a failure? I remember I used to collect all of those things for the Nintendo Wii U Super Smash Bros all the way in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
Amiibo can't be called a failure by any metric, they regularly sold out back in the day and yeah they've waned in popularity but it's also been 8 years for a product that was born out of a fad that it was late to and yet still managed to outlast the competition. Amiibo is basically free money for Nintendo
I love amiibo (I’m trying to get them all) but the worst part of them has always been availability. Reissues are almost never a thing and stock is almost always sparse even for new ones
@@GamerErman2001 I had this only with a Xbox 360 controller. All other controllers I ever had didn't develop this issues. It might be a 1% thing, but considering how many controllers are there 1% will cause a lot of people to complain.
As much as Nintendo has crafted some of my favorite virtual experiences of all time…they also continue to be one of the most frustrating successful companies in the business. Amazing developers, composers, level designers etc., terrible executives, marketing managers and literally everything else
I feel like Nintendo does what you said on number 10 because they feel like the idea of free promotion from the fans because I have a feeling that they don’t see the fans doing free promotion for their games is not needed, worth it or profitable apparently?😅🧐🤔🤨😑🙄
That's actually unverified; there's no reports, documents, or any evidence related to "Nintendo Love Hotels," but you can find evidence for all of their other business ventures, like taxi services, instant rice, and stuff like that
Finally, a video of yours not talking about food for once! I'm not saying I hated those videos, but I kinda felt a bit stuffed after watching them. I hope you'll also get around to reviewing cartoons again soon, PhantomStrider. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the worst/best episodes of the Loud House.
Whenever I heard of the Gameboy PediSedate, that reminds me of Angry Video Game Nerd saying that one line, _"I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAMEBOY! I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAMEBOY!"_
20:58 The GC controller port and the memory card port are both needed to play GameCube games so I think you should have just said that they cut the backwards compatibility instead of listing the 3 things as different. You can use the GameCube controller on some Wii games but in that case you should have said (in my opinion) “the Wii mini loses the ability to play GameCube games, meaning you can no longer use the GameCube controller on compatible Wii games if you want to” or something along those lines.
"Why are people ok with nintendo putting up a paywall to play online?" Because Xbox Live and PS Plus? I mean it was only a matter of time, at least a yearly subscription for the general online is less than half Microsoft and Sony are charging.
Don't forget the eReader for the GBA! That was cumbersome to use and required two GBAs to use with a cartridge. The add-ons for the Super Mario 3 port were by far the best thing the eReader had.
After they created a competitor, they stuck with cartridges. The n64 wasn't a bad system, it was limited because the capacity was inferior compared to CD technology. But on the bright side, cartridges are much harder for kids to break so maybe that's one of the reasons they went with cartridges instead of discs for the system. Because of the lack of capacity, most games had no FMV clips soundtracks either had to be edited down or recreated from the ground up. The soundtrack for the first two Tony Hawk games had songs reworked and looped to save space and the audio soundtrack for Toy Story 2 worked the same way the Mario 64 music did.
I actually also had joycon drift. but I managed to fix it easily. there is a spray you can use. here in germany it is called "kontaktspray" I used a bit under the rubber-rim of the controller and I haven't had Joycon drift in over 3 years now. I think it's mostly due to dust collecting under the Joycon stick.
I have a Switch Lite, and I have NEVER seen any JoyCon drift on my end. Granted, it's just the Switch Lite, but it is majorly useful in avoiding paying out the nose for a JoyCon that sometimes doesn't work. Some games aren't compatible with the thing, like Mario Party Superstars, but hey, it's cheaper! 19:47 In case you're wondering what is causing poor Strider to convulse in horror, apparently, in that game, you have to tinkle (a.k.a. PEE) in this game, or else you'll wake up to an angry mom and a stained bedsheet. I'm dead serious. I had to look that up.
The only one I've really experienced is the drifting with my joy con's. Thankfully a $12 repair kit and a nerdy boyfriend makes it a bit easier and cheaper for me to get that fixed if/when it happens lol. I did experience labor but only because my boyfriend begged me to split the cost with him. I generally wasn't interested in it though
You should do sega next but the opposite due to there's way to many failures so I think what about the good sega as a company has done, like buying atlus or beginning online gaming with the dreamcast and the sega channel.
I know this is very unrelated to the Nintendo,but I wanted to tell you that in your “scary SpongeBob games” video, you were confused on how squidward worked in the “five nights at the krusty krab” game. It’s because you were mixing up flickering the light with holding the the light. Hopefully with this new info, you can beat night 3(and probably night 6 because of how easy it is).
One other issue I recall Nintendo having was the N64 control stick situation where people were getting blisters on their palms. I'm pretty sure Nintendo released gloves for that issue. Basically glorified gardening gloves...
You know Nintendo offers free repairs on Joycons in America right? Maybe quit complaining and get them sent to Nintendo, you guys are more lucky in America that the fact Nintendo offers free repairs and the UK doesn't so think about that for a moment
@@HylianBean97 I know that but what happens to them when be sent out. Will it be broken or scrush by the other package? Will be stolen? Will it be fixed and then later the joy con drift will come back?
what a wonderful and refreshing change in tone, great to see you in your element and as a Nintendo fan myself its great to see someone speaking out about these things that Nintendo are very guilty of. cheers stryder , mrs stryder boo and luigi fan xx
I have the opposite of a joycon drift. Instead of my joycons playing the game themselves, they disconnect for 1-2 seconds. They don't disconnect from the switch itself where I have to slide them in again to reconnect them, they just don't respond for 1-2 seconds until all control is given back to me like nothing happened at all. 1-2 seconds may not be a long time, but it is when you're playing 200cc in mario kart
Despite its failure, I actually like the virtual boy. The music and graphics are good if you can ignore the red and the 3d is impressive. The game library, while small, isn't half bad for basically being a launch lineup and nothing else. The homebrew scene is great too. Glad to own one. Most of all, it pains me that we never got donkey kong country 2 like originally planned. Played under comfortable conditions, it could've been an awesome experience. Also glad I have a Cdi. Hotel isn't half bad for an arcade style game and the prototype of Mario's wacky world's proves the cdi could make some pretty graphics, if the system were more powerful and with nintendo being more willing to guide philips through development, a decent follow up could've been made to smw1.
What's weird is, even as a small 10-year-old, I didn't really have many issues with the size of the WiiU gamepad, or the battery. Joy-cons, on the other hand, they're too small to play with one at a time! every time I try my hands cramp up :( also yeah, the drift on them is hellish
I really loved the Wii U gamepad. I have a tendency to death-grip controllers and the size and shape of the gamepad made it pretty comfortable even if I had a tight grip. I've played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with some friends before on their Switches, and those tiny joycons always left my fingers feeling a bit sore.
1:21 that’s Dragon Quest XI S. I highly recommend you play that game. It’s a masterpiece. From its story, memorable characters and it’s turned based combat that feels new. I won’t go into detail, but if I were to say who’s my favorite characters to use, it’s Sylvando, Erik, and Jade.
Hellooo phantomstrider 🇭🇲🎭🖌️💖😸😆😸 splendid job your worst Nintendo failures list is magnificent as a Nintendo fan this list is very intriguing your content is lovely Big kudos to ya phantomstrider really absolutely adored your content a lot hope you and your girlfriend are having a wonderful day take care of yourself and stay hydrated looking forward for New cartoon and movie videos have a beautiful day rock on phantomstrider 🇭🇲🎭🖌️💖😸😆😸.
I remember about 5, maybe 6 years ago, there was this Pokémon rom-hack fan made game called Pokémon Uranium. Never played it, but watched PokeTubers play it. It was a really awesome game with a really interesting story, but when Nintendo found out about, (I think) they sued the creator(s) of the game, and had it taken down all together!!!! And they even did a copyright infringement thing on an artist who did some fan art of Pokémon back when Gen 7 was still going. And they made the artist take down their picture all together 😓
With the drifting you can use an controller instead of buying 10 new ones in feel like 😅. As far as i know the controller has less issues, and i really like playing with them. Mine do not have any issues after 5-6 years
The rob has such a cool design and it’s even made it’s way into smash bros and Mario kart but the overall way the accessory works I can understand why it didn’t sell well
I completely agree with everything you’ve said about things like Nintendo’s Copyright System and Online Subscription, Strider, and you’re right. People really don’t have a say in either of the matters whether they agree with them or not. Because Nintendo is simply just too big and successful of a company to care about what their fans have to say about their decisions. The community has tried time after time after time again to try to make change, but they barely even make a dent in the grand scheme of things.
I don't think Nintendo sees Nintendo online as a failure because it's so forced, I have Nintendo Online + Expansion back because my Wii U broke (story bout that between the lines if you'd like to read) ----- I'm Canadian, I got my Wii U in Canada, my brother and I LOVED it! We never got a lot of games for it, only like 5 or 6, but we thoroughly enjoyed each game However, we had to move to England, and we weren't leaving this Wii U behind! So we got a converter and brought it over with us, I think we had our Canadian Wii too, but that broke On the virtual console, we bought the original Paper Mario, which my sister absolutely loved, she played it all the way through, backwards and forewards and everything One fateful day, she asked me to hook it up! So I did, we'd moved yet again intoba smaller house so we relied on a power strip, and I plugged the step up converter, which was a bit old and sketchy at this point, into the power strip and sparks flew out of the converter box, I had NEVER moved so fast in my life It tripped the breaker and we never got a new power cable for the WiiU ----- So with the access to older games, that I don't have, Nintendo Online is worth it, it's given me many good experiences with my family and friends, but it's an absolute rip off that you have to pay an extortionate amount for online play! I do like that you get DLCs with it though, but it may be cheaper in the long run to outright buy them if you buy Online a lot
For accessories, we could also add the N64DD (US and Japanese prototype), NES internet adaptor (Japanese exclusive), NES Lottery attachment (Michigan only prototype), the Wavebird (Gamecube wireless controller), and even more that I am completely spacing. EDIT: The XBand SNES Modem (Prototype)
The mini consoles always seemed so cool to me. I have a Switch Lite now (it was a gift so I didn’t have a say. But I still love it), and my cousin a couple years ago had a Wii Mini and I just thought thought it was the coolest looking thing. Maybe it was the colours. Because like the switch lite it had more variety with the colours, and it just seemed intriguing. Colour = neutron activation sometimes for me. Maybe it’s just my way of coping for having the downgraded versions of everything. Though I also had a Wii U and that seemed like more of an upgrade than anything.
You were doing pretty well with most of the entries here, but then you lost me at #1... Did you do any actual research on the CDi? Cause your description of it was painfully lazy and it sounded like it was mostly based on vague assumptions you had about the CDi without actually knowing anything about it, other than what's on the surface shown in viral TH-cam videos and whatnot. For starters, Nintendo didn't make the CDi, Phillips did obviously, you can even clearly see Phillips' company name on the console itself, and on the big flashy title screen that pops up before every single game! Nintendo's trademark logo is never shown anywhere on the console or any of the games. Also FYI Nintendo didn't make the Hotel Mario or Zelda CDi games either, in fact they had no direct involvement in the development of any of those games at all. All Nintendo did was give Phillips permission to utilize some of their IP's, and they were left in the hands of chaos. TBH I don't think the CDi even belongs on this list, considering that it was not made by Nintendo nor does it belong to them in any way. Not to mention that whole atrocious deal with Phillips is probably the reason why Nintendo has become a lot more strict and overprotective of their precious IP's, and won't hand them out to just anyone now. It's a shame that such a good top 10 list (with an epic guest star) was kinda ruined by a terribly lazy #1 pick... If you ever talk about the CDi again in any future videos, please do some actual research on it before writing a script and making a whole video out of it. Perhaps it'll make you appear more competent than you were at that point in this video. I understand not including the Virtual Boy cause you've already talked about it before, but honestly I would've just left out the CDi entirely since it's technically not a "Nintendo" failure at all, and replaced it with a different subject that's more fitting, such as the Super Mario 30th Anniversary era for example, where everything felt so artificial with Nintendo enforcing these "limited time" sale windows on just about all of the games and everything they released at that time, and then they just took it all away from us and shut it all down!... TBH I think that would've made a much better pick for this list than the CDi. Maybe not as a #1 pick, but still.
See with the Amibos the figures themselves are overpriced where there’s people who make little cards that take up way less space than the figures and they work exactly like them. I have the ones for breath of the wild specifically and I’ve even used them with other games to get some bonuses. They’re way easier to use on the pro controller and on the rare occasion I do use the joycons. I think if Nintendo realizes hey people like buying or making these cards they’ll probably try to make them but I doubt it’s gonna happen anytime soon
Hence the reason why I sold all my amiibos, and bought a huge pack of the cards from China for like 5 bucks Seriously, it came with like almost every Smash Bros character (up to Banjo) and they work extremely well
How fitting that this came out today as I have started playing Pokemon Red and Sun on my 3DS for the first time in almost 5 years and I have played a bit with Bayonetta 3, SSBU, AC NH, MK8D and Sonic Frontiers all on my Switch. So it was quite a Nintendo day for me.
It's interesting to see how Strider has evolved over the years. Starting with cartoons, moving onto food and lego and now entering the realms of video games(which he has done a bit before). I think its quite impressive how he can cover so many topics as some content creates can't do that. Good on your strider :3
A part of me wishes he talked about recent cartoons like The Owl House, Amphibia, Glitch Techs, etc. but I still enjoy what Strider does no matter the topic
@@christheleavittman7080 me too :3
I guess it because you know some people grow out of joy of watching cartoons. I know I have. I used to love watching Steven universe , Gravity falls, StarVsevil, SpongeBob, Fairly odd, Adventure time, etc. If I was still a younger dude today I think I'd like those new toon, but I found it hard to sit down and watch them. Sometimes cartoon humor can frustrating and I feel like I couldn't give the same enjoyment as I did as someone below my 20s. I recently like Harley Quinn, but I wish they would tone the Crassness a little.

That's the fun thing about "Top 10" channels! The creator can just do a top 10 list of whatever they find to be interesting, so they're incredibly versatile channels!
Weird, yes, but the gas mask game boy thing is actually brilliant. Surgery is a terrifying concept for adults, but for children it’s a literal nightmare. Letting them play their favorite video game as they’re slowly sedated keeps them calm and collected. I really like that idea.
Yeah, I was one of those kids and was terrified surgeons would chop me up like a meat carcass. This may have helped me.
I'm afraid of that fear
Im a fan
I had surgery for the first time earlier this month, and I fell asleep before they even gave me any gaseous anaesthetic XD They gave me a few pills to take before wheeling me away and I think one of them might have been for sleep. I struggled to get up onto the surgery table I was so sleepy
Plus it wasn’t a consumer product so I’m not sure if it can really be called a failure
The joycon drift issue can be permanently fixed now with replacement gullikit sticks. They use magnets instead of physical contacts making drift impossible
Thank fuck. I’ve barely played the thing and I’ve had this issue
Been using... can't remember what it's called, but it's a liquid designed for cars, comes in a can with a thin, plastic nozzle which can spray the liquid under the joy con flap. Doesn't fix the issue permanently, and when it does fix the issue for a while, I sometimes still have to put up with VERY minor drift, but nothing unbearable and it works. Point is, it's a non-intrusive, non-technical, temporary fix, so how does the gullikit stick work? Is it simple to set up?
@@coralmaynard4876 WD 40
To me, this seems like an answer manufactures had for a long time to fix drift but didn't implement because it kept production costs lower.
I mean, there had to be engineers at these companies who knew of a different mechanism to use.
But hopefully these new sticks become standard.
You can just pour isopropyl alcohol in the stick and rotate it a bit. Really easy fix. When you get stick drift, pour isopropyl alcohol in the stick area and rotate it for a bit and you’re good to go. Save that money on buying a new controller my friends unless you want multiplayer.

And maybe remake his top 10 worst Disney sitcoms
Plus even after 7 years (or over) since he made “Top 10 Worst Disney Channel Shows”, Josh is yet to make “Top 10 Best Disney Channel Shows” (and maybe “Top 5 Best Disney Sitcoms” because in early 2017 (the birth of the Nintendo Switch), he also made “Top 5 Worst Disney Sitcoms” because sometimes even Disney can make tween sitcoms like Nickelodeon) because besides the fact that he made “Top 10 Best/Worst Cartoon Network Shows” and “Top 10 Worst/Best Nickelodeon Shows”, I have predictions of how the list will go anytime he makes it!

I prefer XBOX like XBOX live since Nintendo online made a terrible mistake like removing cloud data if you don’t pay every month, and it’s also glitchy. XBOX live is free, so it’s recommended to switch to Xbox
Joycon drift isn't just a Nintendo problem. I have my PS5 controller experience something similar with the camera. For the past couple months, it keeps going to the left after a random amount of minutes after using it. It's an on and off problem but one that is really disorienting to me, especially when doing photo mode with the games I play.
I don't get how these idiots think the drift defect is a Nintendo exclusive issue when it happens on other companies controllers as well, its not like Nintendo CREATED the drifting issue on purpose, it probably only happens more quickly due to how poorly executed the Joycons were designed since they're small as fuck, it's not entirely Nintendo's fault but it still kinda is and the fact these Joycons are so fucking expensive doesn't help 😑
Same my Xbox controller does that
I know why it does that it's really not maid to be clicked down the thumbsticks are to thin for the joycons even the light is to thin
That's why I liked the wii's nunchuch it was actually a beast the thumstick was anyways
Nunchuck here
Love that Boo has gotten so much more animated! I have been a fan, subscriber, and watcher for a few years! Loved this video and when you do longer content.
But it's nice to see Boo more often!

And Pika is just as iconic as Ash!

For an honorable mention, I would also put in The Year of Luigi.
Losing nearly $400 million dollars just to promote Green Mario all year.
My 3DS XL was actually one from the Year of Luigi. There's actually a design printed on the bottom of it lol.
Wrong. The Year of Luigi 2013 was a Success. The thing that lost Nintendo that much money was the failure of the Wii U which released in Nov 2012
I've got the Year of Luigi 3DS, and I used that thing so much it's actually broken
IIRC Luigi's Mansion: Dark Moon, New Super Luigi U and Mario and Luigi: Dream Team also sold rather well
It had nothing to do with the Year Of Luigi, it was just because of Wii U overall popularity
Luigi is not “Green Mario” , he’s got a whole ass personality and his own games.
God, as a massive Nintendo fan... all of this hurts... nice vid as always Strider
Hi.
I know right. I have been a massive Nintendo fan all my life. But their greediness this generation has genuinely made me dislike them and I have now moved on to PlayStation. (Seriously, screw Joy Con Drift).
Of course. I will still buy Nintendo game when they are good. Like Metroid Dread and probably Zelda: tears of the kingdom when it comes out. But I’m done pre ordering disappointing games like Animal Crossing, Mario Tennis and Nintendo Labo
I really don't like the whole: "Pay to play online".
I already paid for the console and the game. So why do I need to pay more for online play?
@@nine_tails137 exactly. I can actually understand it with PlayStation. You get 36 free games every year, there are dedicated servers and it just works without any connection errors. Yeah, I would prefer it to be free. But at least it works and is actually a good deal.
Nintendo Switch Online is just shit, since you don’t pay for anything. Nintendo isn’t even maintaining servers or anything. All their online is done peer to peer (completely dependent on Wi-Fi). Making the connection slower. And they don’t have to spend a dime. It was free during the Wii, DS, Wii U and 3DS era. I don’t mind paying for it, if they actually enhanced the experience. But it honestly feels like the Wii U had better online.
There is no reason we should pay for it.
@@wplays4271 Honestly, I'm concerned Pokemon players like myself, won't be able to trade Pokemon because of this?
Oh, I can explain the vitality sensor! There were actually two uses.
One I had heard about was for those extremely frightening horror games, the sensor could pick up how frightened you were and make things... arguably worse. Nothing like letting a horror game know you're scared to make it make it worse.
Second, for the calming thing, this is classic Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy. A biofeedback thing. You get a look at your heart rate and do the breathing techniques to reduce it, and you work on it in realtime with feedback. Trust me, I'm a nuthatch who got just enough therapy to not expire from constant anxiety attacks.
I love how expansive Phantomstrider is with his types of videos. From TV, movies, food, products, games, and much more, I am always entertained by the great variety he has in store for us. This one is one of my new favorites too.😃

The crazy thing is that R.O.B is such a popular thing back in the 80’s it was in the smash bros series since Brawl!
The real reason for R.O.B. was that, because of the video game crash of '83, retailers no longer wanted to sell video games. Nintendo came up with this gimmick to originally sell the N.E.S. as an "Interactive Toy with a Robot." This ploy got the console into stores, as well as the games. Once Super Mario Bros sold like mad, retailers' mentality towards selling video games changed forever and the rest is history :)
Rob also appeared as a playablw guest character in Mario Kart DS for the original Nintendo DS.
Speaking of Smash Bros.
Smash Ultimate should have been on the list.
Since that game is evil Satanic trash that's not even worthy of the table scraps of the Wii Shovel Ware Department.
@@mchenrynick bruh
It's not "N.E.S", it's called "NES" 🙄
@@HylianBean97 who tf cares u can spell it either way
I work in game console repair, and can shed some light on the cause of joycon drift. There's a thin metal plate on the back of the Switch's joysticks. Drift is caused by a dent forming in this plate. When the plate becomes dented, it means that there's no longer enough tension to keep the joystick centered. Unfortunately, this means that unless you have the tools to open your joycon, there isn't much you can do about drift. To avoid your controllers starting to drift in the first place, the best advice I can give is to be gentle with your joycons, and avoid pressing down on the joysticks too hard.
A Phantom Strider upload is always a blast, but geez, a Nintendo-themed video on top of that, it just gets better by the second
Yeah
Yeah
Josh and I are glad you enjoyed this... it was a blast to put together too!
Personally, I feel like a lot of Nintendo's recent faux pas (mainly the poor handling of the NSO) is a direct result of Satoru Iwata's passing. He really was one of the best things to happen to Nintendo from a business standpoint.
I rarely use NSO, but when they make an SV Pokemon COMPLETELY dependent on it to evolve (Finizen-->Palafin) the completionist in me begrudingly got the lowest tier sub for it. Can't use Pokemon Home without it either, it's how I bridge transfer my version exclusives in SWSH with only one Switch to use. Because I really don't want to drop $500 on another OLED Switch just to trade (and then have to pay for NSO AGAIN on the other Switch).

"A delayed game is eventually good. A rushed game is forever bad."
-Shigeru Miyamoto.
Sometimes a game can be delayed a bunch, then have its production become rushed, and still be bad
Duke nukem 3D bring the prime example
Like the new Pokemon. I really wanted to play it but after hearing and seeing just how poor the game's quality is it definitely isn't worth the money and I am appalled that Nintendo would release such an unfinished product.
*proceeds to make Mario Sunshine and Majora's Mask, two rushed games that are one of the best ones in the series*
*also makes Star Fox Zero, a delayed game that sucked massive chode*
Miyamoto never actually said the quote, btw, even if he did, such a statement would be completely wrong
clearly corporate never listened to him
I'm so glad to hear someone else like the Wii U! Maybe it isn't the most stellar console out there, but it was a great replacement for our Wii after it sadly stopped running. And Nintendoland granted me and my sibling many, many hours of laughs.
R.O.B also appeared in games like Mario Kart DS and Smash.
2:45 That is literally a Total Drama character dressed up as the Angry Video Game Nerd.
Also, congrats for Nin for nailing those voices of critics and especially having a perfect voice for "Karens" although I still want that internet trend to just cease to exist.

I'm surprised you didn't have Joshscorcher in on this. He actually did a similar list nearly 3 years ago called top 10 Nintendo Fails, not only that, he's also done lists of top 10 fails on other game companies, like SEGA, Square Enix, and even EA.

@@Rusticabcd agreed but its the console that ruins it, the switch is absolute garbage. I’m sorry to say that if you’re a fan but it genuinely sucks imo
@@filxie
The switch isn't garbage.
@@Rusticabcd honestly it wasn’t that bad but I just have a huge hatred for the joy cons and they ruined my whole experience with the switch especially since I was really looking forward to it. To me it’ll never be redeemable and I hope their next console doesn’t have the same issues.
Pretty cool video; however, I must mention that the CD-i was actually originally marketed as a general hardware device, with Phillps releasing art galleries and office software on it (including one for Burger King, strangely enough). It wasn't until late into its life that they tried to market it towards gamers, but thanks to its limitations (e.g. can only have two-screens work of stuff at once), with the exception of Tetris, practically all the games released on it stunk.
As a Die Hard WiiU fan, it still hurts. It hurts so much too me. I’ve had my WiiU since I was six on Christmas 2013 and it’s such an underrated system with so many neat features and incredible games. And considering that basically half of the Switches games are WiiU ports, think that shows

That made me laugh 😂
Kids (like me) were *also* growing up in a time when Nintendo meant it might work this time or it might frustrate you.
Hands up 🙋♀️ for all my peeps who spent hours of their childhood blowing in to cartages.
I love Nintendo so much. I know that for sure, it is my favourite thing ever so I am glad you touched upon this. Especially since it is things that I have dealt with like the joycon drift. It is very annoying. And even though I knew all of these, I enjoyed it all in the video
I don’t have any issue with pro-controller. Maybe try one of those if you want.
YES!!!! THIS IS EXCELLENT!!!! I absolutely love the video, man! Some things I want to point out (watch out, long comment):
1) If you're wondering why the N64DD was being delayed constantly, the reality is that Nintendo was waiting for a proper install base for the system to exist, which was to have 5 Million N64s sold in Japan. However, the N64 was actually somewhat of a failure in Japan, only reaching 5 Million in 1999 and not really exceeding that number by the time it was discontinued, a byproduct of third parties leaving Nintendo for Sony and SEGA thanks to their consoles using CDs, the N64 being a hard console to develop for, and third parties hating Nintendo's censorship policies and stuff.
2) Also in regards to the N64DD, in actuality, Nintendo was well aware of CDs being a thing developers wanted to use, but they were unsure about them because disc drives back then were very slow and, during the development of the N64, they hoped that disc drives would get faster when they actually start working on the N64... but they didn't, so they went with cartridges, but made a compromise with the Magnetic Disks, which could hold so much more than cartridges (at the time), but didn't suffer the speed issues that disc drives had. Some developers did like the Magnetic Disks, but as the N64DD's delays happened, they got cold feet and left Nintendo over it.
3) I have to say, the CD-i section is kind-of wrong in a few areas... but to be frank, that whole story is confusing and probably should be a video in-and-of itself. For one, while Nintendo did snub Sony for Phillips, it was actually because the contract would have given Sony the lion's share of control over the product and games rather than Nintendo, hence the betrayal; it's still stupid, but it does explain why it happened. Also, it should be clear that Nintendo asked Phillips to develop the same thing they asked Sony to do earlier, which was to make a CD-based add-on for the SNES, NOT the CD-i, as that was purely a Phillips product made before Nintendo was involved with Phillips in any way. Finally, SEGA was actually on top of the world when the SNES CD was in development and would still be around for a couple of more years; actually, the SNES CD was cancelled because Nintendo saw the SEGA CD fail and wanted out, along with hardware concerns over the SNES CD working with the SNES, and Sony actually went to SEGA to try and work with them, but while SEGA of America liked it, SEGA of Japan said no, saying Sony didn't know what they were doing in gaming... oh, were they wrong...
NOTE: the SNES CD story is wild, crazy, and complicated... it's definitely worth a look into
4) For more context on the Nintendo-based CD-i games, Nintendo only gave Phillips the license to use Nintendo characters for a few projects, with Nintendo having NO OTHER INVOLVEMENT in those games' development aside from design approvals; those games sucked mainly because Phillips hired inexperienced developers and provided shoestring budgets to make these games and didn't really care about gameplay, only graphics and technology. It didn't help that the CD-i was not really designed as a gaming device, but as a multi-media device that can do all sorts of things in an okay manner; it's actually a decent piece of hardware by itself, but terrible for game designing (especially of the Nintendo caliber)... although a high price tag is what killed that thing.
I loved the video regardless, Strider!
great vid phantomstrider you alway's bring a smile to my face
I will never stop being honestly shocked hearing about the failure of the WiiU. Mainly because my family got one back when it came out.
I got one and it was great with VC games. But Nintendo screwed me and now my ethics on pirating Nintendo stuff has lowered
Wait the Amiibos were a failure?
I remember I used to collect all of those things for the Nintendo Wii U Super Smash Bros all the way in 2014, 2015 and 2016.
The way they were handled was a failure. They still sell well, but not nearly as much as back then
Amiibo can't be called a failure by any metric, they regularly sold out back in the day and yeah they've waned in popularity but it's also been 8 years for a product that was born out of a fad that it was late to and yet still managed to outlast the competition. Amiibo is basically free money for Nintendo
I remember when I got the labo, and I was STOKED to play vr smash bros. But it was so lackluster and I feel like I wasted my money
Im sorry for your loss
Imagine buying a bunch of cardboard lmao couldnt be me
Nice reference to Jim Carrey Christmas Carol. I actually saw it for the first time last year. It was awesome!
I love amiibo (I’m trying to get them all) but the worst part of them has always been availability. Reissues are almost never a thing and stock is almost always sparse even for new ones
I hope Nintendo can print new batches of Metroid Amiibos :)
I was actually surprised to learn about Joycon Drift. I’ve had a Switch for a few years and I’ve never had that issue.
It's actually a problem with a lot of game controllers but it's either more common or more well known with Joycons.
@@GamerErman2001 I had this only with a Xbox 360 controller. All other controllers I ever had didn't develop this issues. It might be a 1% thing, but considering how many controllers are there 1% will cause a lot of people to complain.
@@lumer2b Now that I think about it I had drift happen to an XBOX One controller.
As much as Nintendo has crafted some of my favorite virtual experiences of all time…they also continue to be one of the most frustrating successful companies in the business. Amazing developers, composers, level designers etc., terrible executives, marketing managers and literally everything else
The Joycon Drift happened with my Wii too whenever I use the nunchuck. On a side note, the music in this video makes me feel nostalgic
YES! That happens to me all the time, and NOBODY ever talks about it.
I feel like Nintendo does what you said on number 10 because they feel like the idea of free promotion from the fans because I have a feeling that they don’t see the fans doing free promotion for their games is not needed, worth it or profitable apparently?😅🧐🤔🤨😑🙄
I still own a virtual boy lol
I gotta say personally every time you were done using that thing as a kid I would have the worst migrane of all time

All in red and black lol
Strider doing more stuff with his top tens is just such a breath of fresh air and I am seriously happy about it
Have you heard of the Nintendo love hotels?
Before Nintendo got into making games, they had a love hotel chain, which failed horribly.
Hello fellow ink tank fan
That's actually unverified; there's no reports, documents, or any evidence related to "Nintendo Love Hotels," but you can find evidence for all of their other business ventures, like taxi services, instant rice, and stuff like that
I feel bad for the amiibos, I loved those lil guys. I just wish they were handled more.
Kyojin no Doshin is actually really great, at least for the European GameCube port Doshin the Giant.
Finally, a video of yours not talking about food for once! I'm not saying I hated those videos, but I kinda felt a bit stuffed after watching them.
I hope you'll also get around to reviewing cartoons again soon, PhantomStrider. I can't wait to hear your thoughts on the worst/best episodes of the Loud House.
...I can't tell if you made that pun on purpose or not
Whenever I heard of the Gameboy PediSedate, that reminds me of Angry Video Game Nerd saying that one line,
_"I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAMEBOY! I WANNA BE SEDATED WITH A GAMEBOY!"_
20:58 The GC controller port and the memory card port are both needed to play GameCube games so I think you should have just said that they cut the backwards compatibility instead of listing the 3 things as different.
You can use the GameCube controller on some Wii games but in that case you should have said (in my opinion) “the Wii mini loses the ability to play GameCube games, meaning you can no longer use the GameCube controller on compatible Wii games if you want to” or something along those lines.
As a Nintendo fan, I was really hoping this new video comes out.
Could you make Spongebob top lists again?
"Why are people ok with nintendo putting up a paywall to play online?"
Because Xbox Live and PS Plus? I mean it was only a matter of time, at least a yearly subscription for the general online is less than half Microsoft and Sony are charging.
This was such a fun video to watch, great job Strider! I have to say #9 really needed to be #1, personally....you all did an amazing job together!
Since when was amiibo on failure I absolutely loved them! I even still have my Mario smash one still to this day
My brother and I have wanted video related content for quite awhile. Thx Strider!
Don't forget the eReader for the GBA! That was cumbersome to use and required two GBAs to use with a cartridge. The add-ons for the Super Mario 3 port were by far the best thing the eReader had.
After they created a competitor, they stuck with cartridges. The n64 wasn't a bad system, it was limited because the capacity was inferior compared to CD technology. But on the bright side, cartridges are much harder for kids to break so maybe that's one of the reasons they went with cartridges instead of discs for the system. Because of the lack of capacity, most games had no FMV clips soundtracks either had to be edited down or recreated from the ground up. The soundtrack for the first two Tony Hawk games had songs reworked and looped to save space and the audio soundtrack for Toy Story 2 worked the same way the Mario 64 music did.
The biggest advantage of Cartridges was the read speed, it basically loads instantaneously compared to the 2x drive on the PS1
I actually also had joycon drift. but I managed to fix it easily. there is a spray you can use. here in germany it is called "kontaktspray" I used a bit under the rubber-rim of the controller and I haven't had Joycon drift in over 3 years now. I think it's mostly due to dust collecting under the Joycon stick.
I think it’s wd-40 contact cleaner in america
I knew Joycon Drift would be here… I’ve had this issue with my first joycons
I have a Switch Lite, and I have NEVER seen any JoyCon drift on my end. Granted, it's just the Switch Lite, but it is majorly useful in avoiding paying out the nose for a JoyCon that sometimes doesn't work. Some games aren't compatible with the thing, like Mario Party Superstars, but hey, it's cheaper!
19:47 In case you're wondering what is causing poor Strider to convulse in horror, apparently, in that game, you have to tinkle (a.k.a. PEE) in this game, or else you'll wake up to an angry mom and a stained bedsheet. I'm dead serious. I had to look that up.
Every day is a good day when Strider uploads, even at 11:00 PM
True, I love his videos
The only one I've really experienced is the drifting with my joy con's. Thankfully a $12 repair kit and a nerdy boyfriend makes it a bit easier and cheaper for me to get that fixed if/when it happens lol. I did experience labor but only because my boyfriend begged me to split the cost with him. I generally wasn't interested in it though
You should do sega next but the opposite due to there's way to many failures so I think what about the good sega as a company has done, like buying atlus or beginning online gaming with the dreamcast and the sega channel.

Ah yes. Cardboard for the price of a game. Seriously Nintendo can be a lot like Wario at times, who is ironically their american stereotype.
I got all 3 Labo sets when they were on sale for like 20 each
I played with them for like 20 minutes, and never touched them again
I know this is very unrelated to the Nintendo,but I wanted to tell you that in your “scary SpongeBob games” video, you were confused on how squidward worked in the “five nights at the krusty krab” game. It’s because you were mixing up flickering the light with holding the the light. Hopefully with this new info, you can beat night 3(and probably night 6 because of how easy it is).
I've always wanted to know what my heart rate was while playing Skylanders! 😀👍 Gee! Thanks Nontinde!
One other issue I recall Nintendo having was the N64 control stick situation where people were getting blisters on their palms. I'm pretty sure Nintendo released gloves for that issue. Basically glorified gardening gloves...
I hope Nintendo improves, I have hope for them
You know, the Nintendo law suit thing reminded me of Mattel for how copyright hungry they are.
I'm glad the CDi was a thing, because without it, the world of TH-cam Poops would never be the same
The joycon drift was so frustrated for me. It got to the point where I didn't play my switch for a couple of months.
You know Nintendo offers free repairs on Joycons in America right? Maybe quit complaining and get them sent to Nintendo, you guys are more lucky in America that the fact Nintendo offers free repairs and the UK doesn't so think about that for a moment
@@HylianBean97 I know that but what happens to them when be sent out. Will it be broken or scrush by the other package? Will be stolen? Will it be fixed and then later the joy con drift will come back?
Finally, a video that isn’t just Strider shaming people for eating food!
Nintendo may not be one of those "Flawless Companies" But they are one of the recognizable companies ever that has a lot of titles, I like it!
Sega is recognizable too

@@phantomstrider I'm a permeant guest by now lol
@@phantomstrider Hey just curious why don't you like south park anymore?
I have the opposite of a joycon drift. Instead of my joycons playing the game themselves, they disconnect for 1-2 seconds. They don't disconnect from the switch itself where I have to slide them in again to reconnect them, they just don't respond for 1-2 seconds until all control is given back to me like nothing happened at all. 1-2 seconds may not be a long time, but it is when you're playing 200cc in mario kart
Strange, I still haven't had a case of Joycon drift... I dunno why I've not encountered it. I've had OTHER issues, but not drift
Despite its failure, I actually like the virtual boy. The music and graphics are good if you can ignore the red and the 3d is impressive. The game library, while small, isn't half bad for basically being a launch lineup and nothing else. The homebrew scene is great too. Glad to own one. Most of all, it pains me that we never got donkey kong country 2 like originally planned. Played under comfortable conditions, it could've been an awesome experience.
Also glad I have a Cdi. Hotel isn't half bad for an arcade style game and the prototype of Mario's wacky world's proves the cdi could make some pretty graphics, if the system were more powerful and with nintendo being more willing to guide philips through development, a decent follow up could've been made to smw1.
I loved the Wii U. Every once and awhile I’ll still go and get it out and play some games.
What's weird is, even as a small 10-year-old, I didn't really have many issues with the size of the WiiU gamepad, or the battery.
Joy-cons, on the other hand, they're too small to play with one at a time! every time I try my hands cramp up :(
also yeah, the drift on them is hellish
I really loved the Wii U gamepad. I have a tendency to death-grip controllers and the size and shape of the gamepad made it pretty comfortable even if I had a tight grip. I've played Mario Kart 8 Deluxe with some friends before on their Switches, and those tiny joycons always left my fingers feeling a bit sore.

Sure they were crappy, but you can’t deny that the CDI games provided great, nostalgic YTP material 👌😌
1:21 that’s Dragon Quest XI S. I highly recommend you play that game. It’s a masterpiece. From its story, memorable characters and it’s turned based combat that feels new. I won’t go into detail, but if I were to say who’s my favorite characters to use, it’s Sylvando, Erik, and Jade.

Hearing the Super Mario World Music in the background of this video is my everything 🥰🥰🥰🥰
I dont know what it is exactly, but it’s always a pleasure seeing a new video of yours! 🙌🏼
The CDI was good for one thing, and one thing alone..

I remember about 5, maybe 6 years ago, there was this Pokémon rom-hack fan made game called Pokémon Uranium. Never played it, but watched PokeTubers play it. It was a really awesome game with a really interesting story, but when Nintendo found out about, (I think) they sued the creator(s) of the game, and had it taken down all together!!!! And they even did a copyright infringement thing on an artist who did some fan art of Pokémon back when Gen 7 was still going. And they made the artist take down their picture all together 😓
Its always a good day when strider posts a new vid
Thank you strider for making my day:D
With the drifting you can use an controller instead of buying 10 new ones in feel like 😅. As far as i know the controller has less issues, and i really like playing with them. Mine do not have any issues after 5-6 years
I think last time someone paid a lot of money to play with cardboard, They ended up throwing away the TV it came with
I heard their neighbor got some use from the TV, but ended up wanting some cardboard afterwards.
@@supersmilyface1 Hopefully he wasn't too down in the dumps with what he got
Joy on drift: exists
Me who doesn’t use the joycons: man, sucks to suck
The rob has such a cool design and it’s even made it’s way into smash bros and Mario kart but the overall way the accessory works I can understand why it didn’t sell well
I wonder if you’ll do a top ten Sony/PlayStation fails and a top ten Xbox/Microsoft fails
I completely agree with everything you’ve said about things like Nintendo’s Copyright System and Online Subscription, Strider, and you’re right.
People really don’t have a say in either of the matters whether they agree with them or not.
Because Nintendo is simply just too big and successful of a company to care about what their fans have to say about their decisions.
The community has tried time after time after time again to try to make change, but they barely even make a dent in the grand scheme of things.
Exactly as much as I love Nintendo's games and other products, I despise how greedy they are.
I don't think Nintendo sees Nintendo online as a failure because it's so forced, I have Nintendo Online + Expansion back because my Wii U broke (story bout that between the lines if you'd like to read)

I'm Canadian, I got my Wii U in Canada, my brother and I LOVED it! We never got a lot of games for it, only like 5 or 6, but we thoroughly enjoyed each game
However, we had to move to England, and we weren't leaving this Wii U behind! So we got a converter and brought it over with us, I think we had our Canadian Wii too, but that broke
On the virtual console, we bought the original Paper Mario, which my sister absolutely loved, she played it all the way through, backwards and forewards and everything
One fateful day, she asked me to hook it up! So I did, we'd moved yet again intoba smaller house so we relied on a power strip, and I plugged the step up converter, which was a bit old and sketchy at this point, into the power strip and sparks flew out of the converter box, I had NEVER moved so fast in my life
It tripped the breaker and we never got a new power cable for the WiiU

So with the access to older games, that I don't have, Nintendo Online is worth it, it's given me many good experiences with my family and friends, but it's an absolute rip off that you have to pay an extortionate amount for online play! I do like that you get DLCs with it though, but it may be cheaper in the long run to outright buy them if you buy Online a lot
For accessories, we could also add the N64DD (US and Japanese prototype), NES internet adaptor (Japanese exclusive), NES Lottery attachment (Michigan only prototype), the Wavebird (Gamecube wireless controller), and even more that I am completely spacing.
EDIT: The XBand SNES Modem (Prototype)
What's wrong with the Wavebird?
@@foxymetroid Nothing past being a financial failure for Nintendo.
Don't forget about the NES piano, the Wii car adapter and the GameCube keyboard controller from Japan
@スパイダーマン I forgot about the ACII Keyboard controller!
The mini consoles always seemed so cool to me. I have a Switch Lite now (it was a gift so I didn’t have a say. But I still love it), and my cousin a couple years ago had a Wii Mini and I just thought thought it was the coolest looking thing. Maybe it was the colours. Because like the switch lite it had more variety with the colours, and it just seemed intriguing. Colour = neutron activation sometimes for me. Maybe it’s just my way of coping for having the downgraded versions of everything. Though I also had a Wii U and that seemed like more of an upgrade than anything.
Honestly the Wii mini was a steal
Given it came with a controller and MK Wii the console was basically free
I got a switch lite because I didn't want to pay more for a future I wasn't going to use.
You were doing pretty well with most of the entries here, but then you lost me at #1... Did you do any actual research on the CDi? Cause your description of it was painfully lazy and it sounded like it was mostly based on vague assumptions you had about the CDi without actually knowing anything about it, other than what's on the surface shown in viral TH-cam videos and whatnot.
For starters, Nintendo didn't make the CDi, Phillips did obviously, you can even clearly see Phillips' company name on the console itself, and on the big flashy title screen that pops up before every single game! Nintendo's trademark logo is never shown anywhere on the console or any of the games. Also FYI Nintendo didn't make the Hotel Mario or Zelda CDi games either, in fact they had no direct involvement in the development of any of those games at all. All Nintendo did was give Phillips permission to utilize some of their IP's, and they were left in the hands of chaos.
TBH I don't think the CDi even belongs on this list, considering that it was not made by Nintendo nor does it belong to them in any way. Not to mention that whole atrocious deal with Phillips is probably the reason why Nintendo has become a lot more strict and overprotective of their precious IP's, and won't hand them out to just anyone now.
It's a shame that such a good top 10 list (with an epic guest star) was kinda ruined by a terribly lazy #1 pick... If you ever talk about the CDi again in any future videos, please do some actual research on it before writing a script and making a whole video out of it. Perhaps it'll make you appear more competent than you were at that point in this video.
I understand not including the Virtual Boy cause you've already talked about it before, but honestly I would've just left out the CDi entirely since it's technically not a "Nintendo" failure at all, and replaced it with a different subject that's more fitting, such as the Super Mario 30th Anniversary era for example, where everything felt so artificial with Nintendo enforcing these "limited time" sale windows on just about all of the games and everything they released at that time, and then they just took it all away from us and shut it all down!... TBH I think that would've made a much better pick for this list than the CDi. Maybe not as a #1 pick, but still.
31:02 you do know that Nintendo didn’t make the cdi Phillips did. Nintendo just let them use their characters.
See with the Amibos the figures themselves are overpriced where there’s people who make little cards that take up way less space than the figures and they work exactly like them. I have the ones for breath of the wild specifically and I’ve even used them with other games to get some bonuses. They’re way easier to use on the pro controller and on the rare occasion I do use the joycons. I think if Nintendo realizes hey people like buying or making these cards they’ll probably try to make them but I doubt it’s gonna happen anytime soon
Hence the reason why I sold all my amiibos, and bought a huge pack of the cards from China for like 5 bucks
Seriously, it came with like almost every Smash Bros character (up to Banjo) and they work extremely well
I Was in Discord Server where someone tried to argue that the Labo will have a bigger impact then God of War (2018) since they came out the same day
How fitting that this came out today as I have started playing Pokemon Red and Sun on my 3DS for the first time in almost 5 years and I have played a bit with Bayonetta 3, SSBU, AC NH, MK8D and Sonic Frontiers all on my Switch. So it was quite a Nintendo day for me.
Nintendo online xharges yearly, not monthly. I have the family membership for my family. I paid once and have us all in my little group
