Such a fun console to collect for! Our collection keeps growing and we don't even realize it LOL

The Switch is a JRPG machine which made it one of my favorite consoles of all time along with SNES and PS1 and PS2.

The Switch is pretty much the only console I actively still collect for. It’s a perfect hybrid for retro and modern gaming, and I’ve reached a point in my retro collecting where I just want to downsize. I don’t have much left for most consoles anymore except my complete Atari 7800 collection, TG16/CD collection which is nearly complete, and my original GameBoy Collection which is approaching 150 games. Those are the 3 I owned growing up, so it’s fitting that those are what remain. Switch gives me something new and exciting while also giving me great retro remasters/remakes, and ports to allow me to downsize my other collections.

I have around 110 switch games last I checked, some are collections with multiple games on them. It is so fun to collect for and watch those skinny cases build up 😂. There’s so many games it’s insane, I keep finding more games lol.

I’ve grown my collection by 20 games this past month. Definitely going to add the Psikyo collection as I love shmups. Thanks for the recommendation. Keep up the great work! New sub here.

You guys have such an awesome collection! Haven't decided whether I want to collect physically for the Switch or not. The carts have such a short shelf-life and the prices for physical, especially LimitedRun stuff is getting so high that I don't think it's worth it anymore. Very cool to see such a broad collection though. Also I would definitely recommend playing the original Panzer Dragoon over the remake. They really bungled it in my opinion. Cheers.

That was cool to see your Switch game collection. You guys motivated me to buy a Switch a few months ago. I’m playing Metroid Prime Remastered, great game.

Always love your enthusiastic videos, big love from England!👌👌

hell yeah! i need to grab blazing chrome and Ultra core for sure. Thanks for mentioning Axiom Verge in a prior video. My copy just arrived yesterday and i’m going to start playing through it tonight.

In years to come the switch will be known as one of the great consoles for collecting and discovering hidden gems, truely one of the best consoles of all time.

amazing video guys! I'm always lookin forward to the uploads..

Brand new to the switch. Thanks. Now i got a new list if games to hunt down.

I've spent so much money on physical Switch games this year! There was some bangin' deals over Thanksgiving, including Pocky and Rocky for $12 on Amazon. It's so much fun collecting for the console and retro has taken a back seat for a bit. It's easy to double dip on some of the indie games to own physical copies. I hope Nintendo has a card slot on their next console for backwards compatibility...thanks for showing the goods, fellas!

Thanks so many great titles. Adding some of these especially Huntdown from the run and gun genre to my wish list to experience the thrill and fun.

Very nice collection. Something for every mood.

Love the Switch and have played through so many great games. I just wish I had more time to make a dent in my backlog. Some recommendations for you: Freedom Planet, Kaze and the Wild Masks, Monster Boy and the Cursed Kingdom, Salt and Sanctuary, and Streets of Rage 4.

I like that your collection has a bit more emphasis on run & gun and shmups I don't see these showcased too often. Also gotta give the rpgs some more love 😍😁

Great video always guys

Little tip for Radiant Silvergun...be sure to play it as a 3 button game, where you use two buttons at once for the alternate firing modes...it was a 3 button game in the arcade and its so good played that way...trying to set 6 buttons up for the various shots just doesn't work.

The nintendo switch is great for Shoot em ups!..... I don't know how you guys played them. But you should definitely try and flip your HD TV and play the vertical ones on a vertical display. It makes a huge difference, it's a lot of fun! And most of the vertical shooters have that option on the switch🤘🕹🎮🍻. Cheers great video guys!

I forgot about Cruisin' Blast. Thanks for the reminder. Also, I'm for sure one of the stream folks that talked about Katamari Damacy Reroll

I'm all about the Switch. It was by far my favorite console of when compared to PS4 and Xbox One. Now that the next gen is out, I think I still play it more. I have around 200 physical games for it so far.

Perfect timing for the vid just bought a switch on Saturday. Picked up donkey Kong turtles and Metroid

Double Dragon Neon is a slower paced beat-em-up but very satisfying. Use Training Wheels and Hurricane Kick until you get the feel for Dodge -> Counterattack. Once you are comfy with the Gleam system explore other builds & skills.

Mega man 11 is tight. Glad it got it physical on the xbox1 and ps4.

Great episode boys! Happy Holidays!

The Ori games are a must have for me. To me they were more fun than dread and hollow Knight

Awesome collection guys! You have to get into Splatoon 3. Not a day goes by that I do not put time into it! Absolute banger!

I know it might not be your genre but gotta say visual novel fans be eatin real good on switch. Recommend Witch on the holy night for best vn on switch so far

as we watch physical media progressivly go away i feel more and more how good it felt back in the day when u'd get a huge game that ud been wanting for a while and ud hold the box in ur hands and then ud open the box and ud look at the stuff inside

Idk, I keep seeing that Mario skin on your Switch. I was just thinking that they should make a Mario game w all the old worlds from every game called Mario: Time Warped. Granted, we have that w Mario Maker, but its not a story n not true Mario levels. I just feel a time warped game w Mario would be sweet.

Since you guys liked Astral chain, I would recommend - Bayonetta 1, 2 and 3. - Nier automata (All 4 games made by the same dev, Platinum games) Also i would recommend CupHead Ori the collection/dual pack Shovel Knight Persona 5R HiFi Rush (pending release date) Rayman Legends

I have 8 digital and 29 physical games. I have all of the Zeldas physically in at least the standard version, including spin offs. Mario Kart 8 Deluxe is my most played game. I'm the kind of collector who opens up things at least once, so I played all of my games at least on Switch. I have always loved Nintendo, but the Switch is a perfect console for me. Back when they did two platforms, I find myself buying the same games. I buy the Zeldas, the Mario Karts, the Metriods, and all the games I like on both, but more often than not, there' not a way to go back and forth for these games. Now with Switch, I just buy one game and I'm good. I can take it with me wherever and when I get home, I can play the same exact game on a bigger screen. Let's hope Nintendo just doesn't mess things up with their next system.

You guys seem to have a good collection of switch games and it has been out for a few years, I don't know how you guys could afford to buy switch games since a lot of them can be expensive and I don't know how much KZread is paying you guys by the views you get on your content and you only have nearly 40,000 subscribers but where I am getting is I think it would be interesting to do a similar video like orbalology did on how you can afford your game collection while you guys have personal finances. I know it is nobody's business but I thought it would be cool if you did a video like that and maybe it will educate people who want to build a collection and how to start. Not everyone makes income from KZread/Google and there are people out there who have regular jobs. I know KZread is a regular job to most KZreadrs but I see that as a side hustle job. I hope you guys understand what I mean and don't take it the wrong way. I know you guys are not rich and I appreciate you guys collecting for many years and hopefully more years to come

I really wish I could be excited about anything Switch. I'm just not. It doesn't do anything new really and I'm not interested in the mobility. However, I see it like the Dreamcast, which I adore. I do want all the retro stuff, especially if I can get them cheap once Switch 2 hits. It's like eating leftovers,. Nothing wrong with it, but not my first pick. It doesn't help that to me it is similar to the 3DS. If everyone else loves it; great. I think I can probably clean up with about 40-50 retro style games.
