I'M BACK! Hope you all enjoyed the new video. Since this vid tackles topics that I'm not 100% familiar with, I'll be using this post as an addendum. If any clarifications need to be made I'll post them here. Thanks! Hoping I can get back to a more consistent upload schedule for a few months. I have a lot more free time at the moment. See you soon!
*Is... is it true? Has the prophecy not mislead us? Have you returned Balrog, to give us the good word, and to slay the evil floating head of Dr. Kawashima with your resurrected army of Denpa Men??* Nahh but seriously, been watching your videos since I was in middle school and now I'm in college. Hope to see more of you!
Please make a video about software ideas! The thing I want most is the ability to organize the order of your games on the home page without having to launch them just to bring them to the front.
Welcome back, Balrog! It's always pretty awesome seeing you just gush about the Switch and stuff. I can't wait to see what else you've got in store! :D
You’re one of my favorite creators on the platform, and I believe you’re the only one I have full notifications on for. Sadly, I didn’t know this video came out until now (and I found out by checking your twitter.) It’s good to have you back tho!
18:25 When we first got our Switch my girlfriend initially put the strap on the wrong around and it got a bit stuck, took some extra force to pull it back off!
Awesome video! Your ideas are really interesting and well, realistic, lol. I'd love to hear you discuss software changes regarding the Switch. Keep up the good work, man!
The whole thing is poorly engineered. The plastic part for sliding into the switch is constantly rubbing against metal rails that wear them out very quickly.
There are a lot of little things I would want. I agree with your Switch Mini/Go ideas. For the Pro, a solid 60 fps for handheld and docked would be great. Maybe upscale in 4k on the system for some games with adaptive resolution? A grip or more ergonomic joycon would be great and bluetooth audio. Also a headphone jack on the grip and pro controller would be awesome. A tougher and more power conscious screen would be the bee's knees. Slight improvements in battery life would be ideal too. Maybe an extra hour?
I can agree with most of your points with switch redesigns but there’s a few things I’d probably do a bit differently. I think instead of adding some cushioning inside a new switch dock that Nintendo could just make a dock similar to the adjustable charger or your portable dock that way there’d be less or no scratches on the switch’s screen. My only flaw in that idea is that there have been a lot of 3rd party docks doing that exact idea (or something similar) and in some instances have bricked the console. I’m not entirely sure how Nintendo could pull that off or maybe there’s just something wrong with certain 3rd party docks but, regardless it’s a possibility. As for the “switch go” you mentioned I think instead of the clamshell design like the 3ds Nintendo should largely stick with their current design but maybe slim it down and make it easier to fit inside most pockets. Although if theirs one thing I’d improve across both the switch go and the switch pro it’d definitely be the joy-con analogue sticks. I think the switch go could largely benefit with something smaller that won’t be pushed around inside of pockets like circle pads, and especially if the switch go’s joycons cannot be removed if Nintendo used the current switch’s analogue sticks and they begin to drift, then most people would have to sned it for repairs, put up with it or worst case scenario buy another switch go. Now as for the switch pro most of what I said about the switch go would also apply to this version as well but, the one thing I think should be prioritized for the switch pro is a consistent resolution, whether it would be 720p or 1080p is a little uncertain but it largely depends on what type of screen Nintendo decides to use. Lastly (and I know you brought this up in the video) I think that Nintendo should either give the switch more storage or just bundle all future releases of the switch (even the basic model we have now) with at least a 32-64GB micro SD card, heck even EVERY model of the 3ds came with and SD/Micro SD card. (Although to be fair the 3ds required an sd/micro sd to even function for most games) Edit: Now that the switch Lite is a thing it’s surprising how accurate we thought a “switch mini” would be like.
While I would love nothing more added to the Switch than a few performance upgrades and some additional personalization options (I mean, where are my Ice Blue Joycons and Switch Tribal Edition?) The one thing that is an absolute must for me is for any upgraded Nintendo product to get a dumb name. Call it the Switch'd, the On/Off Button, Switch Binary, SwitchUU (pronounced double-U), or the Switch Breaker with the new dock (because yeah, there's a new dock) being the Breaker Box. Just whatever Nintendo chooses to do, it wouldn't be right without the convoluted nomenclature.
Ayyyy I have that Gameboy SP as well! Same color too! Would love to see an upgraded switch with a better cpu and bettery battery life (even though those 2 specs are very conflicting with one another). But, before all that I wish they upgrade the software of our switch right now! Add netflix and a browser please!
I don’t pay attention at all to rumors so I don’t know if that’s been going around, but that seems like it’d be a really weird thing for Nintendo to do, seeing as they’ve done stuff like using it as a game mechanic for 1-2-Switch and some of the moons in Odyssey IIRC. The same sort of issue exists with the controllers potentially being integrated into the console itself of course though.
I'd also be interested in a video like this for software, or for how you would improve Nintendo Switch Online to make it more enticing. Moreso for the latter idea.
All I want is a revision to their Joycons. My left joycon has become unplayable, drifts upwards and does not register down. My switch has less than a year, and take good care of it. This problem just happened due to use.
I would be happy with a clamstyle, portableonly without dock switch that is cheaper. Here in my house we have 3 3ds, 2 2ds and 1 new3ds thanks for its cheap price and how afordable is to get one. But that's me.
What if they made a smaller switch that you could add to, so its a lite form; that you can turn into a normal switch or a "pro" switch. After all, the switch is about playing your way and the swapable controllers would scream this idea. But to explain it, imagine this: Imagine a switch the size of a 3ds, now I attach a screen to the top; now it's like a ds. How about a different screen? Rotate it and slide in a new controler that goes over 1/2 the screen. Now its a gameboy! That kind of thing, pretty much accessories: the console!
I want Nintendo to make New Nintendo Switch Pro Model to have improved battery life of 10 hours, 256/500/1tb GB of storage space data, USB Type C universal compatibility, improved Joycons with analog triggers, Bluetooth audio built-in and that's all.
I'd love to hear your ideas for software improvements. It's dumbfounding to think how long the Switch has been around, yet its menu interface is somehow below the bar set by the original Wii. Personally, I'd like to see a spiritual successor to the Nintendo Badge Arcade that acts as an all-around menu customization hub... just maybe tone down the micro-transactions? Arcade Bunny would find more fans if he didn't promote such manipulative business strategies.
Also the Switch is shoddily best. I treat my consoles like delicate flowers and this thing's fucking back plate still got a stress fracture. Replaced it like 5 months ago and haven't played it since.
A non-sarcastic comment: I heard some of the background music you were using and now I think I have to replay Mibibli’s Quest again. Edit: and Gimmick! too.
@@Default653 then again I haven't been looking for news, the switch is very different from PS4 and Xbox, if somthing said consoles were dieing it likely ment those 2 (I do recall hearing Xbox was only dealing in preorders in japan or ordering it directly from a manufacturer if you didn't preorder)
A Nintendo switch pro will NEVER compete with the PS4 pro or the high end Xbox, and will not come close to the next gen consoles, people who think it will be able to compete in performance are very deluded A "pro" model is more likely to have very minor bumps in performance with a likely increase in storage but that is about it The mini makes much more sense in terms of making it cheaper which puts more units in homes which is what they actually want And Bluetooth audio is fine as long as the 3.5mm jack stays Also the screen is bigger than you see the bezels hide the connector on the edge of the screen look at the ifixit teardown
"The Switch's GPU, or the part that processes the graphics on this console" I swore I thought you were gonna say, "the unit that processes the graphics".
I'M BACK! Hope you all enjoyed the new video.
Since this vid tackles topics that I'm not 100% familiar with, I'll be using this post as an addendum. If any clarifications need to be made I'll post them here. Thanks!

Balrog Does this mean that the "Twitch.tv live streams turned into TH-cam videos" will return?
Im looking forward to the next vid!
*Is... is it true? Has the prophecy not mislead us? Have you returned Balrog, to give us the good word, and to slay the evil floating head of Dr. Kawashima with your resurrected army of Denpa Men??*
Nahh but seriously, been watching your videos since I was in middle school and now I'm in college. Hope to see more of you!
YOU’RE BACK!!!! AAAAAHHHHH!!!!
What do you think about those NX rumors?
Aw yeah I'm hyped for the NX can't wait for it to come out
@@fcccc23 I heard it's like the Wii U 2 or something idk
I think it's fake, I mean just some patent claims mean nothing, companies do it all the time. No way they can make handheld console gaming work
It’s just doomed to fail just like the 3DS
If a new Switch comes out don't sit on it this time.
Yes! Balog is back for a few months again! only to disapper again and resurface after a year more or less... but for now.. welcome back!
Welp
I don't even have a switch but I love watching these videos lol
Same but i hope i get one soon TvT also i love your videos :3
What I want more than anything is...
A HEADPHONE JACK ON THE JOYCON GRIP AND PRO CONTROLLER PLEASE
Please make a video about software ideas! The thing I want most is the ability to organize the order of your games on the home page without having to launch them just to bring them to the front.
angry balrog at 1:10 is well worth the wait
3:41 , you just said what the lite ver. is
Oh man! That’s rendering of the foldable Switch “mini” is amazing!! I’m keeping my fingers crossed for something like that. Great job!
HE JUST PREDICTED THE NINTENDO SWITCH LITE
Oh boy great video can’t wait for that X&Y review!
AKA: Balrog predicts the switch lite lol. Wonder how accurate your pro prediction will end up being? I hope we find out more on the next direct :)
Balrog! I thought you were dead man.
So nice to see you posting new content!
I remember I watched your videos with my dad once and we both just watched the whole thing awkwardly without even saying a word.
Welcome back, Balrog! It's always pretty awesome seeing you just gush about the Switch and stuff. I can't wait to see what else you've got in store! :D
Balrog. That's a name I haven't heard in a very long time.
I wouldn't have thought Ritsu Tainaka would be so into Balrog, but hey, that's cool.
Same
Street fighter 2 was the only balrog I ever heard of
I just want to hug you every time you come back
I think a new Switch model should improve the screen quality to not be as easy to scratch. Besides that I would prefer having a more portable design.
A glass screen would solve this issue
Yes balrog is back amazing video man your looking very good dude can't wait for more
Found you from mumkey Jones /Simmian Jimmy not disappointed not just to get the edge out my life just as a enjoyable youtuber
Glad to see a new video up!
keep making more videos like this man, they're really enjoyable to watch!

So happy you're doing well. Great to have you back man
YES FINALLY NEW UPLOADS
18:25 When we first got our Switch my girlfriend initially put the strap on the wrong around and it got a bit stuck, took some extra force to pull it back off!
I'd love like to see you're ideas for Switch software in an additional video
This dude collecting systems in a damn Easter basket.
Nintendo might have to update games like Odyssey to remove joycon exclusivity for some moves like the roll.
Holy shit it had been a while since I have seen you, I remember the channel being called "Barlogs Gameroom", good to see you again!
wears cargo shorts and complains about pocket space...
For the first time ever, Balrog returns for the eighth time!
Awesome video! Your ideas are really interesting and well, realistic, lol. I'd love to hear you discuss software changes regarding the Switch. Keep up the good work, man!
Sometimes have a drifting problem?! 3 out of the 4 joy cons I own the sticks had to be replaced. The joy cons are way too prone to hardware failure
The whole thing is poorly engineered. The plastic part for sliding into the switch is constantly rubbing against metal rails that wear them out very quickly.
B-Boi! glad to see you still doing videos!
4:56 - Dude, is that the DCEU Lex Luthor?
There are a lot of little things I would want. I agree with your Switch Mini/Go ideas. For the Pro, a solid 60 fps for handheld and docked would be great. Maybe upscale in 4k on the system for some games with adaptive resolution? A grip or more ergonomic joycon would be great and bluetooth audio.

BRUH
the best in the world is back yet again
I enjoy that Palutena poster in the background
Is technically possible to have a SP clampshell with a 16:9 ratio screen while having it compatible with big boy dock.
I had to replace the analog stick on my left joycon the drifting got way to bad where it came unplayable (replacing it is easy and costs less then 7$)
That Balrog 3DS skin is so cool!!

Man! That Advance SP looks awesome! I do have a DS Lite, but still. Is that the 101? I think it is.

isnt there already a strong rumor that Nintendo is dropping HD rumble production/inclusion for future controllers?

When you are flipping meet it feels like you are flipping meet!
these are all great suggestions I hope Nintendo listens really cool to see a video from you

Dude did you get a new camera? Looking SHARP. You're looking great too desu, less defeated by life.
Hold up!!!! 4:02 You have a Cave Story 3DS!!?!? How did you get that I must know!!!? Cave Story is my childhood!! Is it stickers!?
Mumkey support for 100,000
You basically called everything that happened 👀💪
Balrog is gonna make another .avi video about the Switch mini's name
That would be a great idea
The switch lite is the more portable switch and he kinda predicted that which is kinda coop
All I want is a revision to their Joycons. My left joycon has become unplayable, drifts upwards and does not register down. My switch has less than a year, and take good care of it. This problem just happened due to use.

thank god balrog, etika falls but we get you back
I'm happy to see this in my feed, also Balrog what's your opinion on the sonic movie trailer?

good to see you Balrog
I remember when i saw a sneak peak of your Sonic Forces review on your live stream. Haha!
Gonna get back to editing that later this week (hopefully)!
@@BalrogGameRoom Haha, it's fine, i love your new vid!😂
*M.C. Kids music starts playing*
me, suddenly breaking it down:
Nice new vid P.S when’s the next bnga episode
this man out here talking about a better switch lite
In my opinion, the Switch Pro needs to be powerful enough to run Gal Gun Double Peace at 60fps 1080p!

Wow! You have a Don Chan in the background!
Take a shot every time Balrog says "in my opinion"
you think that’s hard, try it for “Not to mention”
Yeah, I agree they could use a cheaper, more portable, switch version.

Instant buy 3ds style switch
Obviously instead of a smaller Switch there just needs to be bigger pockets to compensate.
Also clearly the Switch go/mini needs attachable lenses like all those third-party Gameboy accessories.
A non-sarcastic comment: I heard some of the background music you were using and now I think I have to replay Mibibli’s Quest again.
Edit: and Gimmick! too.
I wanna see circle pads on a new switch. I have more faith in circle pads being built better than those cheap joy con sticks.
Just want a switch lite with a hdmi or mini hdmi
Have not seen a single switch in the wild in Tokyo.
The DS was popular, but the PSP+monster hunter was e-v-e-r-y-w-h-e-r-e.....
And somehow the switch has already almost outsold the ps4 in Japan, the industry is weird.
