Our videos today are very similar, us gushing about how much we love this stupid system. Goes to show how much of an impact the Switch truly has had on us and the gaming world over the last year. Happy Birthday Switch, you beautifully fun time consumer ❤ Great video Arlo 😍😘
Mr.Vermizen nice! I have Breath of the wild, (not the biggest fan of that game tbh:( disgea 5, Mario plus rabbids, Mario Odyssey, Skyrim, fire emblem warriors, plus a few e shop games. Almost got doom, but I couldn't justifying paying $60 when I found the PS4 version for $20.
I'm one of the lucky few that got a Switch on launch day. I was calling every GameStop that day after school and they were all saying they had crazy long lines, but then one amazing GameStop said "we have four Switches, no one is here." God bless that GameStop.
Honestly, Nintendo should just stick to the Switch from now on. Look at Microsoft or Sony, they have kept the same "formula" for their consoles for God knows how long, and a lot of people like them, which is understandable, but Nintendo has just hit the golden spot. It has the perfect mix of both portability and being a true home-console at the same time, so I don't see why they would "replace" the Switch once we come to the next few gens, they should just highly upgrade the hardware and they'll be set for life. Happy Switchiversary everybody, let's aim for another hell of a year. :)
I think it’d be almost impossible for them to go back to a home only system. They struck gold with the concept of the switch, the only thing I could see them doing is making better “switches”
I doubt we will be seeing the same churn of upgrades the other systems provide, even if the switch was the best format. For better or worse, Nintendo has hated the thought since the gamecube at least. They would much rather start over again than refine the same thing repeatedly. Kinda ironic since their games are often the opposite.
zetsubou1v1 I think they are still kinda scared to upgrade consoles since that Japanese exclusive Nintendo 64 extension (the DD I think? I always forget its name), but man, Nintendo just hit fucking gold man. I can assure you that if they just stay with the Switch from now on, and keep upgrading it, Nintendo is just going go absolutely kill the market.
ya boi Yeah, hell, personally, I am not somebody who buys an upgraded version of a console (hence why I never got a PS4, that and because I don't like almost any games the console has), but for a much better Switch, I'd drop my money at the moment.
The Switch truly is amazing. I didn't get mine until the first day of August back in 2017 with Breath of the Wild. Later that month, I took it with me on vacation with my family to Puerto Rico. It felt surreal, I was carrying the first full console game that you could play anywhere you wanted. After activities done during the day and even on the plane rides, I was enjoying my Switch and it was great. The following year I went on a different vacation and once again brought my Switch, this time, for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's truly something special.
Here's to many more! Welcome back to the throne of gaming Nintendo. We really missed you. Btw, I hope they make a 3D DK game in a similar style to DK64.
Perfectly summed up. I mean, really truly, especially about the battery life. I play my Switch literally every day, both on the TV and handheld, I absolutely love it. And I have honored it within my home by gracing it with a place next to my all-time favorite machine, the SEGA Genesis. Now I've got TWO favorite kids! XD
I picked mine up at 4:30 PM at BestBuy on day one right after school! I was so excited on my drive home and it honestly felt like a fever dream it finally came out.
Had mine for about four months now and in those four months it has reinvigorated my love for console and online gaming. This is definitely coming close to being my favorite Nintendo system since the NES. Already own 20 games for the Switch and don't see that number slowing down anytime soon. The portability helps greatly since I am in the older age range with less free time at home. Really looking forward to the future.
Happy Switchiversary! Hope you feel better soon. I didn't realize there were so many hardware issues. I have the same problem as you (my left control stick not responding properly) and I've sent my joycon off to Nintendo for repairs. They haven't charged me anything... yet.
Got my Switch at launch, preordered it, and picked it up at midnight. I haven't had any problems and I have loved every second I spent playing it. Just wish I had more time to play, and I hope this year will be just as great.
I got mine in early June so my Switch's anniversary is still 3 months off but already it's really thrown me back into the gaming scene. Before the switch I'd hardly play my Wii u except for Mario maker and Splatoon, but now the switch is almost a daily play when school work doesn't get in the way. Also, it has to be the first instance of near instant nostalgia playing breath of the wild til 4 am over the summer. I boot up the game and it takes me back almost instantly. I truly love this console!
Amazing first year. We’ve been together since 10:00am on launch morning and Switch and I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to see what else is in store for it.
There's just something amazing about playing a game in bed, with the screen in my hand. Not some minimal investment phone game. Not twisted onto my side with a wireless controller looking at the tv side ways. Its the sort of excitement I havent had since the gameboy color. Any time a new game comes out I no longer have to worry about downstairs being cold or having to battle for tv. I can just play. And if I have to travel? Even better.
First off LOVE your videos. You really are a skilled puppeteer! I'm getting all the nostalgia from my old Muppets/Sesame Street days. I just got a switch about a month ago and it's also my favorite console. I've been waiting for a REAL portable console for years and now it's finally come true and it's better then ever. Hoping for more awesome games!! Especially from my past
Getting the switch at launch waiting in line at walmart is one of my favorite memories ever! I brought my 3ds and met a lot of other fans, and we all played 3ds smash waiting for hours, and I made some friends and got my switch less then 5 minutes after 12am.
I just remember the Pre-Launch Hype, staying up to watch the reveal trailer, staying up to 5 in the morning in January 2017 after the press event to snag me a Launch Switch on Amazon in the 15 minutes that they were available and doing only that for Hours, getting it Last year today and bringing it to work with me and playing on it after work on the Patio TV at the Restaurant that I bartended at until 1 in the Morning then brought it home to play some more. I brought it to friend's jobs to play games with. played it on breaks. It was like getting my first Gameboy all over again, a new console just for me... Excuse me whilst I go pet my Switch.
I've subscribed to you about a over a year ago the reason why I subscribed because of the switch. Thank you Arlo for the beat content on the switch. Or the Nintendo in general
I was able to get it on lunch. I remember sitting in the Walmart pickup room for hours, I bought it (I wasn't able to get a pre-order but the had some in reserve for the midnight launch) and headed over to GameStop to pick up my pre-ordered copy of Breath of the Wild (the rattling of the cartridge was terrifying at first) and went home. It was a school night, so my dad told me to go straight to bed when we got home, but I couldn't sleep. It was just sitting there, waiting to be opened and played on. I turned it on, gently loaded in Zelda and played the entirety of the great plateau. I was a wreck the next day, but it was totally worth it.
Got my Switch at launch, and I've been absolutely loving it! Aside from a Joy-Con analog stick getting jammed, but that only took about a week to resolve, and in the time it was at Nintendo I was able to complete a 200cc run of Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe without falling off once, and that was amazing.
I didn't pick up a switch until the pandemic, and its been awesome learning more about the history of the console and the creators around it with old videos like these
Nice video Arlo! Rip my time log on Nintendo switch...😢 I still have left joy con issues...can't fix it. I want a new super Mario bros game with a vs mode like on ds.
I also had a hardware issue on the left joycon (it wasn't a connection issue, it was closer to what Arlo described), but the only thing I had to do for fixing it was cleaning the stick with a dry tooth brush (as advised on the Nintendo website) and now everything is fine. Since then, I prefer to transport my switch inside of a plastic bag to prevert the sticks to accumulate dirt or fluff.
The problem with my left Joy-Con is that if you hold left on it too hard it'll still think the control stick is being pushed to the left, meaning that it'll cause me to move left very lightly. So I have to push it to the right to fix it. It's only ever been a problem in Zelda, in the other games it's never affected anything. But I want to fix it really badly.
I'm never going to forget the day I first opened the box and being amazed. Once I see the virtual console, this is definitely going to be my favorite system ever.
I've really enjoyed my first year with the Switch. It took me a long time to really get into Zelda but once I was in I had a blast. It's still taking me a long time to get into Odyssey but I will eventually binge play it and finally beat it. I just wish more friends and family were into it for me because I never get the chance to play all these awesome games as much as I want to.
Thank you Arlo for being you. I've re-energized my enthusiasm for gaming watching your videos. P.S. That intro nearly had me in a fetal position from lack of oxygen.
I gotta stop watching these videos I cannot afford a switch.... I cannot afford a switch... I CANNOT afford a switch.... IM GOING TO TARGET!!! SOMEONE STOP ME!
As someone who has trouble using other consoles' controllers or a mouse & keyboard I am really grateful for my Switch. The joycons are much easier on my wrists and let me game so much more than I could before. And I was super lucky in even getting a Switch at launch. I'd preordered through Best Buy but then it was canceled because of a glitch. Thankfully after talking to the managers at every Best Buy in town a couple of them said they'd call me if they had any left and one store had a canceled preorder so they let me buy it!
I got it in July with Zelda and it held me off until odyssey in October and then I got so many good games for Christmas and have been playing them nonstop. So many good games.
Was so lucky to grab the switch at launch, I didn't preorder it and had to wait at a Walmart for 7 hours to make sure I got one. It's been an amazing year and have put at least 400 hours into it through Zelda, Has Been Heroes and Xenoblade 2.
I was born in 87. I grew up always having a Nintendo console in my bedroom. I'm thirty now, and I can say without a doubt that the Switch is my second favorite console. When the vc comes out and gets some SNES/SuperFamicom games, it will jump up to first.
I've only had my Switch for two months & it's already my favorite console! I also have a N64, Gamecube, Wii & Wii U, love all those consoles as well, but the Switch takes gaming to a whole new level. Always look forward getting home from work to play it! Glad I've stuck with Nintendo!
I was NOT able to get a preorder of a switch, and it broke my heart. I was following the NX news as soon as it was announced. I went up to a 24 hour store in the area called Meijer (I hear they're not nationwide) and got in line and was, luckily enough, able to get one release day!
The switch has changed my life. Before the switch was announced I only played PlayStation (played Nintendo when I was younger but grew out of it) I didn’t care about Nintendo one bit but I did love my Vita. I saw the switch announcement trailer because I was curious but it made me so hyped and I preordered one days later. I spent the months before March 3rd learning about Nintendo (even bought a 3DS) and missed my first 2 periods of school so I could get the switch, brought it to school and everyone was awestruck. Spent the past year loving Nintendo (even bought a GameCube, now I love metroid prime and 2D) haven’t touched my PlayStation for months now and I don’t regret it. I love the switch and I’m so incredibly excited for its future.
I was lucky enough to find a Switch at launch, and I honestly have loved the whole year. The year started off slow with Splatoon, Mario Kart, Zelda and various indie games being the only real choices to play, but aside from that the library is looking great. I'm excited for this next year in Nintendo gaming, can't take me off my cloud
So my time with the switch has only been 3 and a half months but I love it. I love how even though my family is using the tv I can still play video games all I want. Right now I'm super into zelda, I mean I've been playing it for two months straight and only now am I starting to get tired of it.
40+ games!, I sold my ps4 because I cannot play games now with a console where I cannot take it with me, Cant wait for metroid, pikmin, smash, pokemon, mario maker to come to the switch!! I have never cared so much for a console as I have for the switch!
Hey Arlo! My name is Victor and I'm planning on getting a switch for my birthday on March 31st of this year. I've always been a Nintendo fan and always will be for life. I didn't want to ask for the Switch on launch because my parents aren't gaming enthusiasts in a sense but your videos have made me ravenous to keep pushing them to get me one this year. I'm asking nothing besides the system and Mario Odyssey. I absolutely adore your videos and thank you for convincing me with your reviews and just your excitement and enthusiasm for Nintendo. Being that proud of the Switch is no doubt making me a Nintendo only customer for the rest of my life. Love you Arlo!
The Switch had me do multiple things I'd never done, nor ever considered doing, before in my life. Because of the switch, I went to my first video game related midnight event ever. I stood in line for 8 hours to buy it, and I've never done anything like that either. In my childhood I never played video games for more then about 4 hours on any given day, and I put in almost 48 hours into Zelda within the first 3 days after launch. Having a switch made me realize how convenient it is to have digital games instead of physical, where before I only ever bought physical versions. I've barely used my PS4 for more than an hour each month for the past year, despite having bought multiple games for it that I haven't touched yet. I haven't touched my 3DS since the switch came out, and I used to put in 30 hours a week on it. I will never be able to sing enough praise for this system. it is truly a revolution leading system.
I'm a parent now who also had the same problem before the Switch launched: no time to play games anymore; however, the Switch changed that and gave renewed life into my hobby. It really is a beautiful thing that Nintendo has done.
" I hope the rotation is good, it's always blasters"
Way too true
Our videos today are very similar, us gushing about how much we love this stupid system. Goes to show how much of an impact the Switch truly has had on us and the gaming world over the last year.
Happy Birthday Switch, you beautifully fun time consumer ❤
Great video Arlo 😍😘
BeatEmUps I watch your videos and Arlos and I love them!! You guys are amazing at giving info about video games while being funny!
Bro I love how you just make jokes about your friend rgt85 but you are all diplomatic with Arlo
That was the cheesiest intro i've ever seen. ever.
AND I LOVED IT
Nyan that intro is why I subbed to arlo.
Me too.
Kill me
Refers to the the switch as a toddler in the description and opens the video taking the switch on a date
WHAT ANGLE YA PULLIN HERE ARLO???
Ghost Ball he is a monster....
*FBI OPEN UP*
I hope I can find love and happiness like Arlo someday.
Wilfred Cthulu do you have a switch?
Mr.Vermizen wasn't asking you.... But cool! What do you think of it?
Everest Peck yes
Mr.Vermizen nice! I have Breath of the wild, (not the biggest fan of that game tbh:( disgea 5, Mario plus rabbids, Mario Odyssey, Skyrim, fire emblem warriors, plus a few e shop games. Almost got doom, but I couldn't justifying paying $60 when I found the PS4 version for $20.
Wilfred Cthulu well than you have love and happiness z just like Arlo!😂
Never thought I’d see a blue dude puppet having a date with a nintendo gaming console. 🤣
What I this racist term that you call Arlo, a "puppet"?
At least it’s not as bad as the m word
What puppet?
I'm one of the lucky few that got a Switch on launch day. I was calling every GameStop that day after school and they were all saying they had crazy long lines, but then one amazing GameStop said "we have four Switches, no one is here." God bless that GameStop.
thats how I got my samus 3dsxl lol
So Arlo's species is canonically "monster" now.
*_The lore deepens..._*
But Arlo, we don't expect anything from your videos. *_They are always amazing_*
Im still waiting for the NX
XD
Still hasn’t happened
Yeah where’s my NX!
Alro X Nintendo Switch
Such a good romance story, it’s better than Twilight.
Alro xd
*a l r o*
*alro*
Any Romance story is better then twilight
yeah *Alro* is a pretty goood guy.
I think Arlo needs a switch body pillow
The Gaming Gecko , this ain't SMG4 boi.
Arlo you're not a monster. You're beautiful.
7:10
I like how he specifically says two games crash is on the Switch now, and a hat in time is coming to the Switch.
Switching to the Switch has been the best thing i have ever done.
*Switch snap sound*
Puns are always intended unless otherwise specified.
ehh ive kinda been cheating on my switch with the 3DS... just a little. im not quite done with the 3DS yet.
I love the switch, but it hasn't surpassed my computer or xbone in use, my media is all based around my xbox (movies and such)
Adam Eason agreed, ultra sun and moon had engulfed me, sorry breath of the wild
Honestly, Nintendo should just stick to the Switch from now on. Look at Microsoft or Sony, they have kept the same "formula" for their consoles for God knows how long, and a lot of people like them, which is understandable, but Nintendo has just hit the golden spot. It has the perfect mix of both portability and being a true home-console at the same time, so I don't see why they would "replace" the Switch once we come to the next few gens, they should just highly upgrade the hardware and they'll be set for life. Happy Switchiversary everybody, let's aim for another hell of a year. :)
I think it’d be almost impossible for them to go back to a home only system. They struck gold with the concept of the switch, the only thing I could see them doing is making better “switches”
I doubt we will be seeing the same churn of upgrades the other systems provide, even if the switch was the best format. For better or worse, Nintendo has hated the thought since the gamecube at least. They would much rather start over again than refine the same thing repeatedly. Kinda ironic since their games are often the opposite.
zetsubou1v1 I think they are still kinda scared to upgrade consoles since that Japanese exclusive Nintendo 64 extension (the DD I think? I always forget its name), but man, Nintendo just hit fucking gold man. I can assure you that if they just stay with the Switch from now on, and keep upgrading it, Nintendo is just going go absolutely kill the market.
ya boi Yeah, hell, personally, I am not somebody who buys an upgraded version of a console (hence why I never got a PS4, that and because I don't like almost any games the console has), but for a much better Switch, I'd drop my money at the moment.
I agree
That was a really good intro
John Zoidberg ikr
Indeed it was
100 percent agree
It gave me the real Oof
The Switch truly is amazing. I didn't get mine until the first day of August back in 2017 with Breath of the Wild. Later that month, I took it with me on vacation with my family to Puerto Rico. It felt surreal, I was carrying the first full console game that you could play anywhere you wanted. After activities done during the day and even on the plane rides, I was enjoying my Switch and it was great. The following year I went on a different vacation and once again brought my Switch, this time, for Xenoblade Chronicles 2. It's truly something special.
I can't believe its been a year!
Here's to many more! Welcome back to the throne of gaming Nintendo. We really missed you.
Btw, I hope they make a 3D DK game in a similar style to DK64.
I remember waking up before target opened just to get a switch. I had been saving up since they anounced it. Once i got it my switch it was amazing
2017 flew past so quickly
Perfectly summed up. I mean, really truly, especially about the battery life. I play my Switch literally every day, both on the TV and handheld, I absolutely love it. And I have honored it within my home by gracing it with a place next to my all-time favorite machine, the SEGA Genesis. Now I've got TWO favorite kids! XD
Pls tell me that I am not the only one to read this post like Daphy Duck (I don't know how to spell his name)
It was one year ago today that I spent an entire afternoon camped outside of GameStop for one of their _four_ units
Memories
They only had four that weren't pre-ordered?
Wow that bit at the beginning was
B U T T E R N U T S Q U A S H
I got the Switch release day! HAPPY BIRTHDAY!
Aye I got it release day too!
I picked mine up at 4:30 PM at BestBuy on day one right after school! I was so excited on my drive home and it honestly felt like a fever dream it finally came out.
I can't believe its been a year already, time sure does fly
It’s been a year and I’ve spend most of it playing Mario and Shovel Knight...
The switch is the best waifu. I call mine: Switchasippi
I named mine : REO Switchwagon
Mine is Switcharoo
I call my switch switchie
My Switch is nicknamed Nebby.
AAAAAA I CANNOT ESCAPE THE TORMENT
Had mine for about four months now and in those four months it has reinvigorated my love for console and online gaming. This is definitely coming close to being my favorite Nintendo system since the NES. Already own 20 games for the Switch and don't see that number slowing down anytime soon. The portability helps greatly since I am in the older age range with less free time at home. Really looking forward to the future.
Wait in the beginning, Arlo are you cheating on Samus?
TheRabbidHD Not until Metroid comes to the switch ;)
Shhhhhhh...
Happy Switchiversary! Hope you feel better soon.
I didn't realize there were so many hardware issues. I have the same problem as you (my left control stick not responding properly) and I've sent my joycon off to Nintendo for repairs. They haven't charged me anything... yet.
My experience with the Switch after one year:
I don’t have one... T-T
Caleb Powell same here!
I can relate. Oh wait...
I know right
Caleb Powell Arlo gave me PTSD
Caleb Powell Brian.
Got my Switch at launch, preordered it, and picked it up at midnight. I haven't had any problems and I have loved every second I spent playing it. Just wish I had more time to play, and I hope this year will be just as great.
It's been a year since Arlo made a deal with Death.
I got mine in early June so my Switch's anniversary is still 3 months off but already it's really thrown me back into the gaming scene. Before the switch I'd hardly play my Wii u except for Mario maker and Splatoon, but now the switch is almost a daily play when school work doesn't get in the way. Also, it has to be the first instance of near instant nostalgia playing breath of the wild til 4 am over the summer. I boot up the game and it takes me back almost instantly. I truly love this console!
11:14 But I was there Arlo... :(
And that's why you get a THOUSAND GOLD STARS!!!
Oh now, Jiffy is like any other subscriber no matter how many stars he has.
Jiffy I wish I could be there Jiffy
Youre the greatest youtuber ever arlo
Jo what’s arlos face look like? I’m curious now
Amazing first year. We’ve been together since 10:00am on launch morning and Switch and I couldn’t be happier. Can’t wait to see what else is in store for it.
I remember when I first saw you my little blue switch monster!
I don't have a Switch, but I love watching your videos about it!
Also known as Nintendo Switch: 1 Year Later.
ModmamiaMardmamia Same here...
There's just something amazing about playing a game in bed, with the screen in my hand. Not some minimal investment phone game. Not twisted onto my side with a wireless controller looking at the tv side ways.
Its the sort of excitement I havent had since the gameboy color. Any time a new game comes out I no longer have to worry about downstairs being cold or having to battle for tv. I can just play. And if I have to travel? Even better.
Yay! Salmon run! And salmon! And switch... I bought my Switch today. With odyssey! Splatoon! and Mario Kart!
What about Zelda
Dude, believe me, buy BoTW, you won't regret it a single bit. And while you are at it, try to get Furi too, amazing game. :D
Congratulations!
Damn y'all, they JUST got the system lol. Zelda isn't going anywhere, let them enjoy what they have and get around to the rest of the catalog later.
First off LOVE your videos. You really are a skilled puppeteer! I'm getting all the nostalgia from my old Muppets/Sesame Street days. I just got a switch about a month ago and it's also my favorite console. I've been waiting for a REAL portable console for years and now it's finally come true and it's better then ever. Hoping for more awesome games!! Especially from my past
Arlo you should review *Celeste* for Nintendo Switch, it’s one of the best games on the eshop
Agreed. It's story and gameplay are phenomenal.
N8tn thats how indies make you feel
N8tn Is Shantae good? I’m thinking of getting it.
Darkrai the Dreamkeeper I personally not played but, I think you should get stardew valley, or Celeste over that game, that’s my opinion
Getting the switch at launch waiting in line at walmart is one of my favorite memories ever! I brought my 3ds and met a lot of other fans, and we all played 3ds smash waiting for hours, and I made some friends and got my switch less then 5 minutes after 12am.
Love the skit

Excuse me whilst I go pet my Switch.
0:52 "Pokaman Game"
The fact that you can share one of your Joy-Cons anytime is very cute and it makes me think about how important it is to share things
Did Arlo watch Sesame Street as a kid?
wizdome02 I wouldn’t be surprised if he was an extra on Sesame Street as a kid
I think he's related to Grover, isn't he?
Pretty sure he is Grovers long lost nephew
He lived there, I'm pretty sure
Arlo WAS Sesame Street as a kid.
I got my Switch on March 10th of last year, exactly a week after it came out. It's been nothing but awesomeness ever since then!
Butternut Squash?
Yes Please!
I can't believe this is still going
Simarbir Gill butternut Switch
Can this meme die already? I'm getting tired of people spamming butternut squash on Arlo's videos instead of actual, relevant comments.
Yes pretty please!
Yeah But Solid Snake
I've subscribed to you about a over a year ago the reason why I subscribed because of the switch. Thank you Arlo for the beat content on the switch. Or the Nintendo in general
First year was beautiful. Got mine day one and screamed like a small child. Best year ever.
I wish I had a Switch. Please give me arguments to convince my mom to buy me one
Give us some arguments to counter; I’m better at doing that.
AH SEU VOU tell her that you're slowly dying if you don't get it
Just reenact the crappy Wii U commercials but just replace the Switch
Well tell here you'll shut up and never bother her afterwards.
AH SEU VOU Get a job and buy one
That skit was great, Arlo! I haven't had any problems with the battery life too. Great first year for Switch.
We all like our Switch, but what's gonna happen once they start charging for internet?
Sony and Microsoft already do that. It will probably be just fine. Especially if they don't charge a lot.
Good question, I love splatoon 2,but now I'm concerned about paying internet bill and then switch online service lool.
Ronny Montalvo I hope that’s not sarcasm. It’s projected to be like 20$ for a year. Cheaper than anything else I’ve seen
Kenino Space just 20 bucks? great
All of us are gunna start paying cause you know we neeed that interwebz
I was able to get it on lunch. I remember sitting in the Walmart pickup room for hours, I bought it (I wasn't able to get a pre-order but the had some in reserve for the midnight launch) and headed over to GameStop to pick up my pre-ordered copy of Breath of the Wild (the rattling of the cartridge was terrifying at first) and went home. It was a school night, so my dad told me to go straight to bed when we got home, but I couldn't sleep. It was just sitting there, waiting to be opened and played on. I turned it on, gently loaded in Zelda and played the entirety of the great plateau. I was a wreck the next day, but it was totally worth it.
I didn't know Arlo lived near me but I'm kind of wondering what he considers North is it like Chico Redding Sacramento or San Fransisco
Got my Switch at launch, and I've been absolutely loving it! Aside from a Joy-Con analog stick getting jammed, but that only took about a week to resolve, and in the time it was at Nintendo I was able to complete a 200cc run of Rainbow Road in Mario Kart 8 Deluxe without falling off once, and that was amazing.

Nice video Arlo!
Rip my time log on Nintendo switch...😢
I still have left joy con issues...can't fix it. I want a new super Mario bros game with a vs mode like on ds.
I also had a hardware issue on the left joycon (it wasn't a connection issue, it was closer to what Arlo described), but the only thing I had to do for fixing it was cleaning the stick with a dry tooth brush (as advised on the Nintendo website) and now everything is fine.
Since then, I prefer to transport my switch inside of a plastic bag to prevert the sticks to accumulate dirt or fluff.
ah the memories i played the vs mode on new super Mario bros half to death
The problem with my left Joy-Con is that if you hold left on it too hard it'll still think the control stick is being pushed to the left, meaning that it'll cause me to move left very lightly. So I have to push it to the right to fix it. It's only ever been a problem in Zelda, in the other games it's never affected anything. But I want to fix it really badly.
luis enrique vargas azcona Seriously? I'll try it!😂
I'm never going to forget the day I first opened the box and being amazed. Once I see the virtual console, this is definitely going to be my favorite system ever.
I want *pizza* for the switch
N8tn same that game rocked on the 3ds
Same bro, same
Cooking Mama confirmed?
'I don't know why I'm pointing over there, the launch is not over there'WHY ARE YOU SO CHARMING
I got my Nintendo Switch during November last year so it's been just under half a year
that would be one third of a year
Octagon Seventynine it's about 5 months so it's close enough
November and March are 4 months apart... quick maths
Octagon Seventynine I said ABOUT half a year so I didn't say the exact amount of time
congratulations you guys!
I've really enjoyed my first year with the Switch. It took me a long time to really get into Zelda but once I was in I had a blast. It's still taking me a long time to get into Odyssey but I will eventually binge play it and finally beat it. I just wish more friends and family were into it for me because I never get the chance to play all these awesome games as much as I want to.
*You wanna pre-order the pokeman game?*
LOLOLOLOLOL
Thank you Arlo for being you. I've re-energized my enthusiasm for gaming watching your videos.
P.S. That intro nearly had me in a fetal position from lack of oxygen.
The Emoji Movie has to squeeze its way in here... 12:23

I did actually get the switch on launch. A few of my friends and I stayed in line for hours waiting for it and I loved every second
I gotta stop watching these videos
I cannot afford a switch.... I cannot afford a switch... I CANNOT afford a switch.... IM GOING TO TARGET!!! SOMEONE STOP ME!
Before anyone says anything I have a job, I’m working on getting a better job, and I am throwing more than my income to college.
stop and don't go to target
...
Have you gone to target?
Soooo... Ya went to target?
As someone who has trouble using other consoles' controllers or a mouse & keyboard I am really grateful for my Switch. The joycons are much easier on my wrists and let me game so much more than I could before.
And I was super lucky in even getting a Switch at launch. I'd preordered through Best Buy but then it was canceled because of a glitch. Thankfully after talking to the managers at every Best Buy in town a couple of them said they'd call me if they had any left and one store had a canceled preorder so they let me buy it!
SAMMY HAS BEEN BETRAYED
It's just so fun to play with friends. Even solo games like BoTW and Odyssey. They're just so interesting that people just have fun watching too
Should I buy a Procontroller?
No bun intended wait for summer, the price is bound to drop then.
But it right niw
I got it in July with Zelda and it held me off until odyssey in October and then I got so many good games for Christmas and have been playing them nonstop. So many good games.
its funny how adults like the colorful Nintendo while kids like the mature games on Xbox and PS
Cobra Norovia except me... I’m 11 and the only Nintendo fan in my whole school :/
Lamachtig im in 8th grade and same here
Was so lucky to grab the switch at launch, I didn't preorder it and had to wait at a Walmart for 7 hours to make sure I got one. It's been an amazing year and have put at least 400 hours into it through Zelda, Has Been Heroes and Xenoblade 2.
But I thought Etika was married to the Switch!
I was born in 87. I grew up always having a Nintendo console in my bedroom. I'm thirty now, and I can say without a doubt that the Switch is my second favorite console. When the vc comes out and gets some SNES/SuperFamicom games, it will jump up to first.

YES PLEASE!
Yes I want more of these please
Yes please!

Yes please
I've only had my Switch for two months & it's already my favorite console! I also have a N64, Gamecube, Wii & Wii U, love all those consoles as well, but the Switch takes gaming to a whole new level. Always look forward getting home from work to play it! Glad I've stuck with Nintendo!
I WANT PIKMIN 4 SO BAD IT HURTS
I feel you Lol
I was NOT able to get a preorder of a switch, and it broke my heart. I was following the NX news as soon as it was announced. I went up to a 24 hour store in the area called Meijer (I hear they're not nationwide) and got in line and was, luckily enough, able to get one release day!
He said Poké MAN game
Nice addition of the Phendrana Drifts theme :D :D IS THAT A TEASE FOR A METROID PRIME TRILOGY REMASTER?!?!?!
Wait a second, you didn't actually go without an SD card until now did you?
Dequan Milete
Probably had a smaller one
i lasted a year without an sd card
The switch has changed my life. Before the switch was announced I only played PlayStation (played Nintendo when I was younger but grew out of it) I didn’t care about Nintendo one bit but I did love my Vita. I saw the switch announcement trailer because I was curious but it made me so hyped and I preordered one days later. I spent the months before March 3rd learning about Nintendo (even bought a 3DS) and missed my first 2 periods of school so I could get the switch, brought it to school and everyone was awestruck. Spent the past year loving Nintendo (even bought a GameCube, now I love metroid prime and 2D) haven’t touched my PlayStation for months now and I don’t regret it. I love the switch and I’m so incredibly excited for its future.

Edit: Best first year for a nintendo console ever.
R.J. dude your a lying scumbag
You didn't edit
Hoyans?
I was lucky enough to find a Switch at launch, and I honestly have loved the whole year. The year started off slow with Splatoon, Mario Kart, Zelda and various indie games being the only real choices to play, but aside from that the library is looking great. I'm excited for this next year in Nintendo gaming, can't take me off my cloud
Arlo X Nintendo Switch Fanfic Plz
MAZ 1 Arlo teams up with Cappy, then he captures his Nintendo Switch and starts playing with himself.
So my time with the switch has only been 3 and a half months but I love it. I love how even though my family is using the tv I can still play video games all I want. Right now I'm super into zelda, I mean I've been playing it for two months straight and only now am I starting to get tired of it.
40+ games!, I sold my ps4 because I cannot play games now with a console where I cannot take it with me, Cant wait for metroid, pikmin, smash, pokemon, mario maker to come to the switch!! I have never cared so much for a console as I have for the switch!
Forgot gta5!! Soon(tm)
....And hopefully a new F-Zero made by Retro Studios soon as well...
Hey Arlo! My name is Victor and I'm planning on getting a switch for my birthday on March 31st of this year. I've always been a Nintendo fan and always will be for life. I didn't want to ask for the Switch on launch because my parents aren't gaming enthusiasts in a sense but your videos have made me ravenous to keep pushing them to get me one this year. I'm asking nothing besides the system and Mario Odyssey. I absolutely adore your videos and thank you for convincing me with your reviews and just your excitement and enthusiasm for Nintendo. Being that proud of the Switch is no doubt making me a Nintendo only customer for the rest of my life. Love you Arlo!
The Switch had me do multiple things I'd never done, nor ever considered doing, before in my life. Because of the switch, I went to my first video game related midnight event ever. I stood in line for 8 hours to buy it, and I've never done anything like that either. In my childhood I never played video games for more then about 4 hours on any given day, and I put in almost 48 hours into Zelda within the first 3 days after launch. Having a switch made me realize how convenient it is to have digital games instead of physical, where before I only ever bought physical versions. I've barely used my PS4 for more than an hour each month for the past year, despite having bought multiple games for it that I haven't touched yet. I haven't touched my 3DS since the switch came out, and I used to put in 30 hours a week on it. I will never be able to sing enough praise for this system. it is truly a revolution leading system.
Okay, I gotta admit, that intro was the cutest thing I've ever seen.
I'm a parent now who also had the same problem before the Switch launched: no time to play games anymore; however, the Switch changed that and gave renewed life into my hobby. It really is a beautiful thing that Nintendo has done.
