Nintendo should hire you as their spokesman or main hype man. You make it genuine and I want to buy it all over again.

I've lost much of my passion in gaming. rarely do I bother playing games any more. However... Nintendo has always been the outlier. Even the Wii U. Mario 3D World and Yoshi's Wooly World were some of the most fun games I've played in a decade. Many more great games, and now the Switch. I may not be a massive gamer any more, but Nintendo is the one thing I still have.

Same here. I'm not really a gamer. I played it the early 90s(sega) and a little bit in the mid 2000s(ps2) but the Nintendo Switch made play video games again. I'm a very casual gamer at best and the switch is perfect for me. You can play old and new games and download to keep and play whenever is so convenient. Thank you Nintendo!!!

I’ve always found Johnny’s video’s very comforting. I love the stories. Thanks for all the great video’s!

Wow just stumbled across this channel and your enthusiasm for games is intoxicating it made me feel happy to be a fellow gamer definitely subscribing and going to watch all your videos xD Its so lovely and refreshing seeing someone happy who enjoys there hobby and not a miserable gitt moaning over little details or hating for peoples different tastes

That's Canadians for you

It's refreshing to get your take on this first year of the Nintendo Switch. Your energy and happiness is contagious! Love your channel John!

Dude you are one hell of a guy .. You are so real and I love your stories bc I can relate to your stories .. The happiness you get from games playing alone or with friends bring so much joy . Thank you for your videos buddy .. Hope to meet you one day..

You my friend are honest and true...a true gamer and a person who really loves this just as much as I do. And that resonates in your videos. Never change, never sell out and always be happy :)

“Embrace happiness” words to live by

Absolutely love the raw love of gaming and it's history that I find amazing in your videos. As an older gamer (35 - old in gaming years) I find it fantastic.

While I agree this was a fantastic year for Nintendo, I think people forget how huge/fantastic the SNES’ first year was: Super Mario World, F-Zero, Final Fantasy 2(IV), Super Castlevania IV, Legend of Zelda a Link to the Past, Street Fighter 2, Mario Paint, Ys III Wanderers from Ys, and at the 1 year mark... TEENAGE MUTANT NINJA TURTLES IV TURTLES IN TIME!

Alex Catchpole SNES was the most powerful home console when it came out. Switch was an untested hybrid system with less power than current gen. For what it's worth, this is the excuse 3rd parties told themselves as they took a wait-and-see approach to bringing AAA games to Switch. Some tested the waters first like Capcom with Street Fighter. It really is like comparing apples and oranges but it all goes in a great fruit salad by 1st quarter 2019. Thats when I feel like Switch will have enough great 3rd party titles to truly compare it to SNES

Just discovered this channel and I absolutely love your passion towards games it’s rare to find someone who clearly loves video games as much as I do

Honestly man I love how you see things you make everything seem so beautiful keep up the great work man

man i never wrote a comment about your videos cuz you have become one of my favorite systems and video games reviewer on KZread, gotta say your videos are great and you're an outstanding and knowledgeable reviewer keep up the good work and never change your way, thank you.

You've been slowly selling me on the Switch, mane.... Unrelated: you're a true legend and you are appreciated! Been watching since you started all those years ago and still enjoying the ride. Much love from Texas.

Seeing how happy and stoked you are about the Switch is awesome man. The Switch has been an incredibly wonderful surprise and I can not wait to see what else it has in store

I like to lay down, close my eyes and listen to your pods, it is so soothing and relaxes me, thx for this year dude!!!!

One your best episode's of late, it was lovely to hear you celebrate the Switch. And I'm glad Nintendo had a good year and people are supporting the Switch.

My dude, you literally have the most pure passion for gaming that I've ever seen. The pure joy you get from these games is so apparent. I'm getting my switch in the mail today and I'm hoping for a little bit of that :)

I loved seeing your enthusiasm for the Switch and all of its releases throughout the year, Johnny. It kept my hype up too, and I think it's certainly been the best year one I've experienced with any console.

I was debating whether to get a ps4 or a switch months ago, I went with the ps4 but seeing your video Johnny has inspired me to go out and get a switch! Only reason I got a ps4 was for the fighting games and exclusives but the switch looks so damn fun to play. Takes me back to the 90s when I was a snes nut lol

Nintendo Switch might already become my favorite system of all time. Nintendo has kept single player games only a thing of beauty! It's been a haven for me as platforming gamer. They haven't left me behind with Always online games that make me play games with other. It's great an all but I just like to sit on the couch and play by myself, on my own time. They still believe in couch co op. I can't believe how many games I've enjoyed at my friends or gf on weekends passing controllers around like old time with my brothers in the 90's!

Sitting here waiting for the UPS man to bring me my Switch that I bought Tuesday..... So excited! Love your enthusiasm...... Subbed!

There’s something special about seeing someone dive into a product they love I share your enthusiasm with this product, I own a pc and to be honest my switch has taken over

I’m 33 haven’t played video games since gears of war 1, and your enthusiasm for video games makes me remember playing Sonic the hedgehog 2 special edition with knuckles sega bundle pack and cried, you seriously just made me cry. I’ve got a fortnite bundle switch and I fuckin love that shit Nintendo didn’t forget it’s just about fun. Respect

I grew with your channel Johnny and I know that moment with the kid was special. I play with my son and nephews

Love your genuine energy, brother. Wow.

Awesome video and it's amazing how you can us feel nostalgic about a system and games that are only a year old...or less! This was the system that got me back into gaming and inspired me to be a KZreadr. Thanks for the upload!

Weird but this video makes me happy. Because his age but he’s having so much fun talking about this and his expressions are giving me life. It’s how I felt when I first got into gaming

I gotta say I love your energy and how passionate you are about video games! I’m brand new to your channel and I’m definitely subscribing right now! 💯 👍🏻😎 🎮

It's so awesome to see somebody so excited about games and a Nintendo. keep up the good work

Great video! I agree, the Switch had an awesome first year. I have a big pile of games already and I can't wait for the new games coming out this year and beyond.

Great video! Love your enthusiasm! My son has a Switch and I’m contemplating getting a second one for myself.

Loved the video man and your video style.. Good work

Wow, this Switch's first year flew by so fast for me. I still need to pick one up. I loved the video Johnny, great work! Keep it up!!

Man you have some awesome friends. And your right for me this consol is special because this was my nieces first Zelda game and she Loved it and I loved seeing her experience the magic of this franchise I have known for 20 years.

Very emotional video! I feel that exactly the same passion! Best regards from Brazil

Congrats on 10 years man and the switch is AWESOME!!!

hearing your story lighten my day, dunno your story feels soo bright and positive :) like it very much

It’s amazing at how quick this first year went by. Awesome thoughts here mate

I do get a little annoyed that no one talks about Mario+rabbids cause people hate rabbids or they think it’ll be bad cause of the rabbids. That game was so good and I would 100% include that if I were talking about the switch. Other than that, this was a great video.

It was a very good first year for the Nintendo Switch for sure. I also was very surprised at how much fun I had with Arms.

Our switch will show up tomorrow! I really haven't played video games much at all since the N64! Looking forward to reliving my youth. I've been missing couch coop for a looooong time and glad to see Nintendo sticking with it. Nice review man, made me feel good about my purchase. First up, Mario Kart of course!

I was finishing college last year- could not afford. Now I'm working overtime so that I can afford to catch up with this amazing console/game collection LONG LIVE NINTENDO!

Well, I'm glad you waited until today! Can't wait to see what's next for Switch! There's a bright future ahead of it.

Hey Johnny, it really was an amazing year of gaming with the Nintendo Switch. Great looking back at many of the games the system had to offer.

Love the enthusiasm dude, nice vid! Guessing you're not a sports fan though as you missed NBA 2K18 off the list. Amazing game to have on a handheld!

Still practicing Pokkén Tournament!!! Such an awesome memory discovering Zelda with you brother. :) Great vid!

The same happened to me with Breath of the Wild... I think the last time something like that happened was with Fallout 3.

Nice video! Im playing Dragon Quest Builders on my Switch right now. Never thought i would buy it but i was kinda suprised by the demo - it has a nice and relaxing feeling to it without being too serious. Its nice after a long day at work.

My enthusiasm for video games has been lost completely over recent years. nothing feels fun anymore. Gonna buy a switch next week and hopefully my long lost love for video games will be revived :) Great video!!

I discovered your channel a short time ago and I'm glad I did! It's evident that you love videogames and you transfer that love through the screen. Your experience with Zelda BOTW reminds me my own experience the day the console and game released. I was a university student too tired and poor to justify buying a console but when I saw the Switch and Zelda I did what I had to do to be able to get it. I don't remember the last time I have been so exciting for something. Then, Zelda was a truly unbeliavable journey and it also became my favourite game of all time. It collects all the things I wanted in a videogame: wild beautiful scenery, freedom, exploration, discovery, secrets, a sense of journey and adventure, peaceful and beautiful places where you can just hear the sound of the wind and nature but also intense fights an dark places. It's just amazing. I'm so glad I bought this console and I'm so excited to see what big titles will come next.

Am going to Japan in June/July and have already decided to buy a Switch and tons of games when I get back. The NES was the first console I ever bought, in high school; got a part time job, put it on lay-buy at K-Mart, and paid $50 a week for three weeks. Also have the New 3DS XL. Will be great to continue my Nintendo journey. I love my PC and PS4 Pro but I've missed the types of games Nintendo create.

Great first year! Looking forward to year 2 as well

Nice lancer, bro. Also, thanks for doing a year one review.

That Mario song at the beginning is one of my memories. Never will forget the first time stepping into the Cascade Kingdom and listening to that. Such a magical game, and Magical machine.

+HappyConsoleGamer, you have sold me on the Switch! I have been debating whether to get it or not, but your video has helped. Thanks!

Great video! I just bought one, and your hype was certainly a contributing factor 😎

Had it since day one. 36 years old and my brother and I camped for one. It was freezing cold and even snowed, and I was thinking, "I'm too young for this shit!" BUT it was worth it! I've had every Nintendo from the beginning with the NES w/Power Pad, and I'll continue to support them because of how much fun I've had over the years.

I want that Xenoblade 2 box, SO bad. EDIT: Despite seeing the little tidbits of you in awe at the Switch unboxing, as soon as you proceeded talking of the young one playing Breath of the Wild, I started smiling immensely. It's like a very poetic handing off of the older Nintendo generation to the new one, in a sense, but still being able to play together, haha. Don't mind me. Just loving this. Thanks for the upload. I'm surprised I didn't subscribe despite watching your Ys uploads. Well, just letting you know I fixed that!

That story about the girl playing the switch is exactly what video games are all about and one of the reasons I’m going to get a switch this season . With all the gaming memories I have in my 23 years , nothing stands out more to me than when my mom bought me and my brother the GameCube with Mario Kart as kids . The 3 of us played that game all day . Nintendo is a master of making games that remind us its not about the graphics or achievements but the simple enjoyment of playing a video game and leaving reality . Even if for a few moments .

Thanks for the video! I'm really glad we have a Switch at my home.

Your enthusiasm is so fun :P

just got mine today! cant wait to play some games!

Though PlayStation may be my favorite overall gaming brand, I feel I would be remiss to not acknowledge that the Switch may have had the best first year of any console in history. Well done, Nintendo!

Give examples of something to equal the caliber of BotW, Odyssey, Kart Deluxe, Shovel Knight:Treasure Trove, Splatoon 2, Skyrim and Doom ports, Bayonetta 1 and 2 ports, Sonic Mania, Ultra Street Fighter 2, Xenoblade Chronicle 2, etc. In the FIRST YEAR. I'll wait.

Love your reviews/talks man I've been watching you for years. Try some of these download able games they are kinda all amazing. Shovel knight, azure striker gunvolt, mighty gunvolt burst, and the psikyo shmups such as gunbird, samurai aces, 1945 and 1945 2. Keep up the good work :D

I’m sitting here, listening to you talk about your first experience with Breath of the Wild, and I started getting emotional out of nowhere. My wife is pregnant with our daughter, whom we’re naming Zelda. I cannot wait to have experiences like that with her.

That's the magic. Watching both my 7 years olds play Zelda Breath of the Wild is special ... I'm sitting there thinking that's me and my brother 20 years ago ...

A really good year and some great games coming this year too, Super Smash Bros, Donkey Kong, Octopath Traveler.

After being skeptical for the entire first year, I got one during Christmas and I don't regret getting the switch. I have bought some many games and spend alot of time on it. I'm glad I took a chance on this system.

The combat system was really slow and clunky. World exploration rewards were limited to those horrendous Blade powers. The blades themselves were a gatchapon lootbox nightmare, I didn't even have half of the rare blades by the end of the game. The humor was atrocious and relied on anime tropes, which in itself isn't bad, except that these are anime tropes that have been done better elsewhere. Like, if I see one more fantasy game with a chuuni character in it, I'm going to die. There were moments when things were really enjoyable, the story got better in the middle. But for the most part, I really regret putting as much time into it as I did. Beating it was not worth the trouble IMO.

Everybody did a video to talk about the Switch first year, but of course you had to do it because your opinion will always be relevant. I have all portable consoles from Nintendo and as soon as the console gets a price cut here in Brazil I'll jump in as well.

You know a game for the Nintendo switch I was completely and utterly floored by which is turning out to be one of my favorite games since I just got my switch . Voez a freaking rhythm game and I never Play Rhythm games at all but I am so addicted to this game its a work of art. Congratulations Nintendo I'm officially back

What a good, genuine review

This video really got me pumped to purchase a Switch. More so than anything else I've seen. I preordered the Smash Bros Edition. Thanks for the fun video.

In depth and on point fantastic

This system brought me back to current gaming, my last new home console was the 64 but I never stopped slowly collecting for it, and the NES/SNES. They knocked it out of the park conceptually and I can overlook the issues it's had because I can see where this is going. The portability is what makes the switch, the moments shared that otherwise would never have happened. I.E, I recently busted out my switch at a family get together well past midnight and got to play Mario Kart with my little brother. It's all about in person co-op and it's brought back my ten year old self's "heart of a gamer." So excited to look back on years to come!

Great video man :)

Another awesome video Johnny. The Switch is the console that us gamers needed. Something new, unique, and simple. And probably the best launch year for a system ever.

I also was sceptical about it. I felt it was going to fail and become collectable. But I still bought it on day one. I love it! I am quite pleased oh how great it has turned out.

Playing overcooked with my friend for the first time.... Was the best day in my whole life.... I laughed like i never ever did before....

Celebrate good times, c'mon! :D

Great review Johnny. Being a 16bit fan, I was wondering what your thoughts are on Project Octopath Traveler?

I've bought a switch and haven't gamed since the original x box. It's amazing, splatoon 2 is so much fun!! With all the bad news currently in the world it's so good to watch a 40 year old man (I'm not far behind) become so happy about video games.

Your excitement is really cute. I might get a Switch. It sounds great.

wow, it really does sound special - the way you played it IN YOUR FRIEND'S BASEMENT, literally, just like so many years ago! i'm surprised you didn't mention it in your initial Zelda video, or maybe it just didn't cross your mind when you were in that forest, haha))
