Glad Nintendo is still here despite their ups and down in their 30 plus years of them in the game industry. I can't imagine a gaming world without Nintendo. No Zelda, Mario, Animal Crossing, Smash etc. That would be a lesser world indeed.

Nintendo is a fascinating example of a company that's been able to continuously compete in a winner take all market via the strength of their IP💪. Games like Mario Bros and Zelda have such a large pull that they can bring users to their often inferior platforms (though in the current generation the Switch's portability is a powerful differentiator). I think Nintendo is the success story while SEGA is the cautionary tale. Sega's IP just wasn't poular enough to bring users to the Saturn and Dreamcast. If Sega could've developed a larger variety of successful properties and avoided some of their infamous missteps, we all might be playing a new age version of the Sega Nomad today instead of the Switch! 👾

The first 3 minutes is like a nostalgia trip for me. I've been following the progress of this system since the days when Wii U was Nintendo's latest console and their wasn't any announcement of a new console, an NX if you will. Back then there was 1 rumour that kick started everything. If your old enough to remember, that rumour was the Nintendo Fusion. A handheld/home console hybrid that would completely revolutionise gaming and 6 yrs on from those days I can say that Nintendo is truly back dominating the Gaming industry once more. Bring on the PS5 & Xbox SX, we got Zelda BotW 2,Metroid Prime 4,Beyonetta 3, Pikmin 4 and a plethora of other hard hitting titles on the way.

Johnny Gat Everyone who uses a switch regularly will have to deal with drifting at some point. Luckily it’s pretty easy to take apart the joycons and replace the joy stick. I’ve only had to do it a couple times and I’ve had the switch since launch. Of course, it’s not ideal and it should not be happening as often as it does but at least it’s pretty cheap to fix yourself.

Breath of the Wild, Mario Odyssey, Animal Crossing New Horizons, Pokémon Sword/Shield and great ports that let you take your console favorites anywhere. Switch will probably be one of those consoles we all look back on with a lot of nostalgia like the N64 and Gamecube

Switch is such a great console. They nailed it. Handheld and tv play for every game, with gyro aiming now standardized for games across the board, has raised the bar to the point I just can’t play on PS4 and X1 anymore. If I can’t use gyro aiming I’m not interested, and if I can’t take the game with me, it feels regressive. Switched to a gaming PC for the more demanding games that Switch can’t run well, where at least I still can map gyro aiming.

i’ve always loved nintendo. the game boy was a gaming system i’ve dreamt of having for years now, after hearing my mom had one. i also later found out that they had the nes system too. it made my heart happy to know that my parents grew up with something that i grew up with. my first console was the dsi, when i was 8, and then i got a wii around 10. i fell in love with them. around 13, i drifted away from the systems and became obsessed with my phone. now, i’m almost 16 and have found my love for nintendo again. it’s crazy how far nintendo has come, and it seems like it won’t stop being successful for a long time. i mean, nintendo was always a known brand and it still is. its like apple, it doesn’t seem to go. i hope soon i’ll be able to get the nintendo switch, so i can experience more of nintendo’s amazing products. my siblings recently rediscovered our wii and are obsessed with mario at only 3 years old and 6 years old.

@@vision8641 Yep, from NES to Gamecube, Nintendo did go for graphics, up until the wii they decided it's time to get funky. I am glad they chose to not go for graphics anymore because we would just have three companies putting out a console that's not mainly going for any other type of innovation away from graphics. I have nothing against consoles that mainly strive for graphics but it's nice to have an option that is different from the others.

I actually was hyped for the switch back when it was called the nx in 2015. When I got mine at launch people in public were like what’s that and I was like oh it’s a Nintendo switch lol.

Well done cnbc, excellent video. Very well covered.

4:40 One thing to keep in mind is how many of the biggest Switch games started on the Wii U (Zelda, Mario Kart 8, Tropical freeze, new mario bros U, poketournament, captain toad, Splatoon, wonderful 101) Nintendo had 5 years to build a strong library of games that they could quickly port over to the switch, and really pad out the library

@@crono6874 Breath of the wild was a Wii U title that moved over to the switch. It was 4 or 5 years in the making, and moved over to the switch fairly late in development Splatoon 2 and Mario Maker 2 are "new" games, but more importantly they are sequels to franchises born on the Wii U. I dont want to get bogged down in semitics of ports vs remasters vs remakes vs sequels vs simultaneous releases, the point is how well Nintendo leveraged the R&D of Wii U, to boost the success of the switch.

I got sober right before the world shut down. If I didn't own a nintendo switch during this time I'd in all seriousness prbly be a dead man. After coming back from rehab as sad as it is to say the regular family work routine doesn't cut it at first. I needed a hobby. I had a switch. I can't put into words how much being able to put hours and hours into my first months of early sobriety helped me.

It’s honestly so crazy how much people are reselling it now. They’re literally ripping you off. I told myself that I would not spend over 500 or 600 for a console no matter how desperate I am. It was either I tried to buy one during restock or I’d just get the lite. But thank god after failing to get the previous 2 restock i finally got one today.

Kat I live in the UK so a lot of the purchase has to be done online. But I highly recommend you go on stock informer and get email or WhatsApp notifications on the switch. So whenever the switch is in stock they’ll notify you. But sometimes you might miss them, cuz the other day I had two notification on restock, one website they sent the email to me very late almost an hour later when the switch was in stock. And luckily the same day they sent me another notification right on time and that’s how I was able to get one. But I also recommended checking online everyday, open tabs on your phone of nintendo switch in different website and refresh it once in a while, I hear Nintendo say they’re doing restock in June, so check everyday. I think if you live in the US sometimes the stores restock it in stores, I’ve seen quiet a few KZreadrs say they got lucky when they were passing by, so I think it’s best to check online and in-store. But stock informer you should definitely sign up for almost everyone is doing that now.

I got my switch with Smash Ultimate, but my dad had one a year earlier and that's how I played BOTW and Super Mario Odyssey, two of my Top 5 favorite games of all time

Is it too late to even buy one will they be updating it soon or replacing it

I’m getting one of the new limited edition online only versions and it comes with the Mario glass cups which I think is a deal but I think it’s sold out now

Bought mine last year with breath of the wild best game ever!! (Imo)

I grew up with Sony and Nintendo. As far as I'm concerned I will stand with both of them for life.

To be honest, the Wii U easily could have also been a success, too. All it would take would be better marketing and 3rd party support. It did everything else very well, but just did not work out. I own a Wii U and it is a terrific console. The only problem was that it didn't get into many households. The Wii U offered so much during its run, but it did not seem to gain attention. To put that in perspective, here are things the Wii U had that heavily impacts the Switch's success: -Idea of portability -A bunch of ports/sequels -Amiibo -Breath of The Wild -And most importantly, something to look back on, to further improve the Switch The Wii U is basically the foundation of the Nintendo Switch, and without it, the Switch would be just as low-selling. It is clear growth, seeing that Nintendo fixed their advertisements, when you compare the Wii U's to the Switch's. So don't sleep on the Wii U, calling it a 'Flop'. See it as a learning point, and not as a 'horrible failure.' It may be a just a joke, but it us not right to hammer the Wii U down. I am very happy with my Switch, and grateful for what the Wii U has done for it. Thank you Wii U for giving the Switch its success!

The fact Ive been able to play Nintendo exclusive and 3rd party home console quality games on the go has been a huge game changer. I will buy whatever Nintendo is selling every generation bc they have proven to me over my lifespan that I am getting a quality gaming experience with them if nothing else.

I also love that you can play multiple players at home with controllers instead of the crappy up to two players you get with ps and Xbox now. My brother has one and I will get one first chance I get.

Nintendo is one of the world's best video game companies, and without question the Nintendo Switch was a major improvement over the Wii U. Overall in terms of fan loyalty Sony and Microsoft have gained respect in regards to their Playstation and XBOX brands for their consoles. I would hope Sega and Atari do come to develop new games in the market as well as third party developers having them been former heavyweights in the video game industry. Nintendo if they can manage to develop a console in the future better then the PS5 and XBOX series one and continue the amazing quality of games they will regain the market share. The Switch will be the console though for some more years until the lifetime of the console is past and then the Nintendo 8 would come out in the market. As a fan of gaming I hope that VR and AR technology along with online capabilities and next level graphics would be something we would see in a future Nintendo console after the Nintendo Switch. One of the reasons Sony and Microsoft managed to do better then Nintendo, is mostly because they developed exceptional consoles even though Nintendo as a first party developer is considered one of the best video game companies in the world. Maybe Sega and Atari should consider joining forces with Nintendo to develop their future console and gaming library. It would be interesting to see that if it were to happen. While the mobile market has many gamers, in general fans who appreciate games know the development of games in consoles is far superior to the quality of games you would see in a inexpensive mobile game. Nintendo's Switch isn't Nintendo's best console honestly as I would have to say consoles like the Nintendo 64, Super NES and even NES showed some of their best potential. Their handhelds also been phenomenal over the years with genius design especially the revolutionary 3DS which allowed gamers to play games without 3D Glasses.

Buy a Switch if you haven't already, it's great!

As crazy as it sounds Animal Crossing was my safe haven during the first few months of the pandemic. Imagine being stuck at work (hospital) for months on end this was my game to play to keep my mind at ease and relax.

Since I haven’t been able to buy a Switch because of the prices being so high, I guess because the shortage. I bought a Wii-U in June and I’m loving it.

It's the opposite for me: My Switch is my #1 console while my PS4 is the complement.

PC and Switch and ur good to go. I once was going for graphics but later realized that a cool looking game with bad gameplay isn't a game at all. And Nintendos style is, even though not realistic, great. But more importantly, their games are well made. I mean they're so well made that I love Link's Awakening on the Switch, which basically the same game as 27 years ago. (ik, it has been reworked to be more playable, but the game itself is the same)

I fell in love with the Switch once I realized that you can see an update pending, go into the game, save, close, download and install update, reboot, and be playing the game in less than a minute. I'm pretty excited for the PS5's SSD just because of that. But the Switch is still going to be on top, because I won't be able to take the PS5 to the toilet. Not to mention that when a game comes out on the Switch, especially first party Nintendo games, they need very few patches. Borderlands 3 has had 50+ patches since October. Smash Ultimate has had like 15 and was out a full year before. Spaltoon 2 comes close to BL3, with 46 patches, but it was released in 2017.
