Aight so yes, I know it's controversial but I made what I thought was a very compelling case for 13 reasons why the Nintendo Switch is overrated. I understand that it is pretty popular and great for a console, but that doesn't mean it's flawless. It seems like the world and internet has gone delusional to this concept with the Switch and I don't want to be comfortable with where the Switch is at in the world now. I spoke to these points in detail so here are the time markers if you don't want to watch the whole stream: 3:14 - Stream Start 11:18 - Reason 1 - Joycons 16:51 - Reason 2 - Console Price 21:43 - Reason 3 - Acce$$ories 27:14 - Reason 4 - Game Prices 32:15 - Reason 5 - Rehashes 35:24 - Reason 6 - "Big" Games 41:38 - Reason 7 - "Port" Town 44:59 - Interim 52:19 - Reason 8 - Culture Vultures 58:15 - Reason 9 - YouTube Embargo 1:04:55 - Reason 10 - Indie Oversaturation 1:09:01 - Reason 11 - Online Service 1:13:34 - Reason 12 - Backwards (In)Compatibility 1:15:49 - Reason 13 - Taste 1:21:41 - Voicemail 1 - Alex (Turbo Zone) 1:25:30 - Voicemail 2 - Leo (The Funny Nerd) Please entertain the topic of whether you think the Switch is overrated or not, I'd love to converse on it

Yeah, I enjoy mine quite a bit as well. No offense meant teddykongcountry , but the video's a bit on the long side for me to check out in full. Although, I guarantee you'd get an immediate vote of agreement from Maestro is you added a "It doesn't even have Melee...again!" category

The NS is amazing. I have nothing against it. It is great both ways, on dock mode, and on the go. I have no complaints. It has surpassed all my expectations.
There is something very attractive about it that just makes you want to play it. It feels like a temptation. In fact, I would say 85% of the games I have finished this year were on the NS, and that comes from someone that has a lot of stuff going on for the PS4 Pro, so that alone speaks volumes.
I don't even have a Pro controller yet and I even bought 2 more Joy-Cons and an extra grip instead, which combined are $30 more than a Pro Controller.
I may get a Pro Controller eventually to try it out, but so far I haven't feel the need to get it. Everything plays perfectly with the standard controllers, and most of the type of games I play are already very "twitchy" in nature, yet I have no complaints.
On top of that I'm thankful it allowed me to watch the World Cup this year. I have pretty much only Sony devices in my house and they don't allow Hulu Live. Not only that, without my Switch I would not be able to watch any of the F1 GP races, practices, and qualifying streams.
I was one of the people against something like Hulu to be on the NS. I really wanted it to be a dedicated gaming system, but I regret saying that because Hulu Live really came handy this year.
I use the dock mode for all of that, I have to say 1080p games look great even on my 65 inches 4K TV, but on the go the screen is truly spectacular. I have a New 3DS XL that I also love, but the feel of the NS on your hands with that beautiful screen is incomparable.
I have to mention. I'm not a JRPG guy, but I feel the handheld mode of the NS is perfect for those kind of games. It would not surprise me if something like Persona 5 arrives on the NS because the experience is definitely superior for those kind of story heavy games on the NS than on something like the PS4.

Yeah, Khador brings up a very good point that I was going to mention. The fact that Nintendo isn't reviving the Virtual Console service OR bringing Gamecube games to the Switch like they promised means that there is no reason to get one. Just about every day I hear younger gamers who never owned a Gamecube saying that they wish they could play Melee or Paper Mario 2 but can't afford a copy because they're too ridiculously expensive. I feel so bad for these kids.
Nintendo is literally the only console maker right now who isn't bringing older titles to their online service. It wouldn't give me reason to buy a Switch (obviously, since I own those GC games), but for many gamers it would be a dream come true. The demand for Melee alone should be enough reason for Nintendo to re-release these older games.

I want Lament Of Innocence, Gradius V, and Shattered Soldier on PS4, but all they have are games that I don't care about anymore that may have been cool back then, but they are not as timeless as other titles of the time, at least not for me.
This is why people should always keep their older consoles, and not sell them. Waiting for console makers to release older games is futile, they rarely do, and when they do is never everything you want.

At least Sony has made the effort of bringing their older titles to modern PS systems. Of course they won't be able to make every one of them available, but still, bringing the most renowned titles of the PS1 & PS2 era to the modern systems for the younger generation to experience is an extremely respectable effort. There's no reason why Nintendo can't or shouldn't do the same with classics like Melee.

I never said the opposite about Sony. What I said is to stop whining like a little bitch because Nintendo hasn't bring Melee to the newer system. Melee is a good game, but not worth stressing about it. Take that Melee cock out of your ass and think how there is no reason to bring Melee now that they have announced a game that looks even more promising than Brawl which was already far superior than Melee.

How can you say such blasphemy with Melee being arguably the most popular tournament fighter of all time, even more popular than MvC2? I want the new generation to play it and see for themselves how it compares to the other Smash titles.

Well, you say you don't like artsy shit, and most of the things that makes Brawl superior is the artistic stuff, such as the presentation, backgrounds, soundtrack, content, and the close personality representation of their characters. In terms of combat, Melee resembles better a proper fighting game than Brawl, no one will deny that, that's why Project M existed in the first place, but the combat alone doesn't make it better. Think of Marvel Vs. Capcom Infinite that arguably has the best fighting system mechanics of them all; yet we can all agree it is an abomination to the series. Melee at least was decent in that regard.

to be honest, for me it's all about the games. and the switch has and is getting a lot of amazing ones.
metroid prime 4 Fire Emblem: Three Houses Fire Emblem Warriors Mario Kart 8 Deluxe Super Smash Bros. Ultimate Donkey Kong Country: Tropical Freeze Captain Toad: Treasure Tracker DAEMON X MACHINA Shin Megami Tensei V
mario odessy and zelda breath of the wild was a way too big of games for their own good imo. i like the last gen games a lot more.
