    Nintendo has actually received a lot of game of the year nominations in the switch generation. BotW, Odyssey, Smash Ultimate, ACNH, Metroid Dread, Xenoblade Chronicles 3, TotK, and Mario Wonder all received GOTY nominations. Not to mention wins in other categories like multiple wins for best action game, best family game, and Splatoon 3 won best multiplayer game.

    I honestly think Nintendo is re-releasing so many classic games to test the waters. If those classic game styles still work. Remaster VS remake. Putting all of a series entries on one console generation. And most importantly, how much they'll actually sell. Because if TTYD doesnt sell at least 3-5 million, they may consider it a flop.

    Another thing that should've been mentioned here is that as of September 30th, 2023, the Switch has sold an amazing number of 132.46 million consoles. That statistic is before the holiday season, which I'd imagine the holidays benefit that number even greater than any other time of the year. So the Switch is very close to the legacy to that of the Nintendo DS (154.02 mil) & that of the Playstation 2 (155 mil). Even if the Switch does not pass them, the Switch has had some incredible momentum over its whole lifetime that Nintendo hasn't witnessed for a while now with other consoles/handhelds. So I'd imagine just reaching number 3 is a win.

Exploring gives you points to upgrade arts and skills, and you have to unlock accessory slots by finding them from exploring. It works well for the smaller game format and makes exploration feel more substantial. Of course, no telling if this would work well in a full length game.

    It was good to be a big fan for alot of things last year, 2023 is hands down one the best years in gaming. I was surprised to see how much we got from Nintendo this year, I was just expecting TOTK and then dlc for Mario kart and rabbits, big surprise for Mario RPG and a wonderful return to 2d Mario with Wonder and others like Pikmin 4, Metroid remaster etc. Then we have big games like FF7 rebirth on the way and for Nintendo, TTYD remake on the way, peach game, and potential next console coming which will have big new games… man

    Such a strong year for a system that's 6 years old. As for 2024 there're some exciting games but they're mostly remakes, so it'll be interesting to see what happens this year. I do see this year as a transitional year because sooner or later the Switch 2 is coming out and every big switch game I would say is probably out by now and we're in a winding down period with smaller titles and remakes. I just hope they can revive some IPs such as F-Zero, Star Fox, perhaps Eternal Darkness. I'm definitely expecting a swan song of some kind for the Switch coming out this year.

    If there’s anything that 2023 for Nintendo approved is that the switch still has life left in it, so I don’t wanna hear no more complaining about the switch being on its last legs because these games prove that the demise of the switch is greatly exaggerated, and Metroid prime showed exactly what the switch is capable of in graphics if anything 2023 was the best year for the switch and I say this as a recent switch OLED owner who is absolutely enjoying my switch.

    Nintendo showed this year that you can both be a megacompany with lots of money AND get on people's good sides. I think other AAA studios and gaming companies should be taking notes about this year because Nintendo was a pretty shining example of just doing things because they sounded fun, and people raved ovcer it. What a year to be a Nintendo fan. Heck, if ALL things technology were as good as they were for Nintendo this year, I think we'd all be happy about it. Take notes, Microsoft.

    You know what I appreciate about you Arlo. You GET enthusiasm. I freaking know you're not always the most excited to make a video. Some of this stuff came out so long ago before their relative hype died, but you know, you have a special knowledge that I wish so many more people had, and it tends to frustrate me, but you getttt it. You understand that when you want to express appreciation, even if your natural instinct isn't to explode about it anymore, you GET that when expressing appreciation, you should do it by exhibiting enthusiasm. Idk if this sounds weird, but even if the high levels of energy are a bit artificial, you get that it's necessary to still convey your truth that is, 100% your truth, which imo validates the energy. Displaying enthusiasm is a language, and in order to express how much you genuinely appreciate something, sometimes you gotta up the energy when talking about it. I hope you get what I'm saying, but your enthusiasm about this year speaks to me. I 100% believe you care about effectively expressing how much you appreciate this year, because, even in places where the hype may or may not have died down, you bring it back for this last moment of appreciation, which you wouldn't do if you didn't care. (Not that your enthusiasm sounds artificial, it doesn't. I'm just realllly keen to this stuff) I. wish. more. people. got. how. to. do. that.
