  • - Hey guys, this is Austin.

  • The Switch is nearly two years old at this point.

  • And while it's absolutely smashed sales records

  • and given Nintendo a very important win

  • after the disaster that was the Wii U,

  • it's now going on sale for the holidays.

  • Which, of course begs the question:

  • is now the time to buy?

  • You can't talk about the Switch

  • without being impressed with

  • the flexibility of the hardware.

  • Drop it in the dock

  • and you have a proper dedicated console.

  • It's kind of even better as a portable

  • especially when you compare this to the 3DS,

  • it is a way better experience.

  • Detach the Joycons

  • and you can see one of the many, many

  • ways of playing the Switch.

  • So, now that you have a stand

  • that you can play it in tabletop mode.

  • But you can also sync other controllers

  • including the pro controller

  • or even if you're docked you can use the USB controller.

  • There's a lot of different options

  • of playing the Switch.

  • This is clearly what Nintendo wanted the Wii U to be;

  • a tablet-sized console that's actually portable.

  • The Wii U is a good comparison here.

  • A lot of titles from it have imported over to the Switch,

  • including Mario Kart, Splatoon, Toad

  • and, of course, the upcoming Super Smash Bros. Ultimate.

  • There's a great selection of indie games as well,

  • such as Overcooked 2, as well as Dead Cells

  • and this is a little bit of a trend for the console.

  • Lots of games have found their home on the Switch,

  • especially the ones that aren't super graphically intensive

  • that run really, really nicely here.

  • This is also the spiritual successor

  • to the 3DS which means that we're finally getting games

  • such as Pokemon, moving over to a full,

  • proper Nintendo console.

  • For a portable it's also got some serious power.

  • Take one look at a game such as Wolfenstein II

  • and it is hard not to be impressed.

  • Now sure, it's way lower resolution than the PS4,

  • Xbox One but it does look reasonably close

  • and it is incredible impressive

  • that this is running in a handheld console.

  • Fortnight is a great example.

  • This is a game that runs on basically

  • every device out there but this

  • is the best mobile version on the Switch,

  • mostly thanks to the physical controls.

  • The thing is though, the Switch really doesn't make sense

  • if it's your only dedicated console.

  • Most big AAA games take months to make it to the Switch

  • and that's if they make it at all.

  • And on top of that they generally

  • don't perform as well as other consoles

  • and they cost full price.

  • This is totally fine if you wanna play

  • the excellent Nintendo exclusives.

  • But if you wanna play other games

  • such as Call of Duty, Assassin's Creed

  • or Gran Turismo, this is not the console for you.

  • The thing is, both the base PS4 and X Box One

  • are cheaper than the Switch and with those consoles

  • you are getting a better dedicated gaming experience.

  • If you don't care about the portable stuff,

  • they make a lot of sense.

  • You also don't have any kind of backwards

  • compatibility or virtual console here.

  • This is bizarre considering that it was

  • Nintendo who kind of pioneered

  • the whole idea of doing a virtual console.

  • Both the Wii and the Wii U could play a lot of older games

  • via the virtual console.

  • And on top of that they could also, you know,

  • work with a disc that you just

  • pop in from your last generation system.

  • Instead, on the Switch, I'm buying Mario Kart

  • for the third time on the second different platform

  • in the last couple years.

  • Is that just me?

  • I guess Nintendo just has to keep selling

  • those mini consoles, right?

  • Sure, you've got access to some NES games

  • if you pay for Nintendo's online service

  • but well, let's get into that.

  • Both PSN and Xbox Live include

  • current generation games for free every month

  • as opposed to a couple of old NES titles.

  • And on top of that you actually

  • don't even need to necessarily

  • pay for the Switch online service to play online.

  • Now yes, if you wanna play Smash, for example,

  • online you have to pay.

  • But if you wanna play something like Fortnight

  • you actually don't have to pay anything

  • because that makes sense.

  • There's also no proper party system,

  • you can't do voice chat on the console itself.

  • While it does support cloud saves

  • it doesn't work for all games.

  • The entire online system does just feel

  • a little bit half-baked.

  • I will give them credit,

  • at 20 dollars a year at least

  • the Nintendo Switch online service

  • is less expensive than PSN or Xbox Live.

  • But, well, that makes sense because

  • it's not as good.

  • Probably the biggest reason to hold off

  • on buying a Nintendo Switch right now

  • are the rumors that there's

  • an upcoming Switch Pro due out next year.

  • Supposedly, the Switch will have an upgraded screen

  • as well as potentially a little bit more power.

  • Now, that's all fine and good

  • but if you take one look at the 3DS

  • you'll know that there is very little chance

  • that the Switch is going anywhere anytime soon.

  • Even though there are upgraded versions

  • of the 3DS available,

  • pretty much all games do support the older version.

  • I expect that to be the exact same case

  • for the Switch.

  • I really do enjoy the Switch.

  • It feels like a glimpse of the future

  • of where consoles are headed over the next few years.

  • Now, of course, with an upgraded version on the horizon,

  • it might not be a crazy idea to hold off and wait.

  • But you could also just not do that,

  • buy a Switch right now

  • and come play Pokemon Smash with the rest of us.

  • Your call.
