Still respect their opinion as well if they address it properly. Those who just being toxic or just trying to stir up controversies, it is better it ignore them.
Anyways
I enjoy this guy's content regardless of him making plenty of unfavorable opinions such as saying Horizon Zero Dawn is better than Botw, Odyssey is not a good Mario game and A Hat In Time does many things better than Odyssey etc...
You expect this video to a video talking about how wrong he is, but this is Syy we are talking about... most of his statements on Switch are either strawman arguments, or something that he should have known, but he didn't because he was bias... and he still is...
-I agreed that Wii U didn't have identity, but it still have purposes, and saying the gimmick is poinless is also delusional since that "gimmick" was what made the Switch.
- Nintendo has never compete with "power" ever since the Wii... Wii U was actually intended to be a Wii for hardcore gamers. Wii U didn't loss third party just because of power... seems that a lot of people easily get this wrong, Wii U was not just because it was underpowered, but it was the CPU architecture made it hard to make games for it.
-Hell... he later mentions he's not a game dev and doesn't know much about developing game so that makes his statement even more weak... but the best part is still at the late part.
- Bayonetta, Splatoon.... uh.... that's about it... "Face palm" one was great but didn't sell well (And now porting to the Switch!), and one is coming late of the console's life cycle....sort of...
I get it that he later mention in the comments section that it was a joke... but even the explanation was BS.
Mario 3D World, Hyrule Warriors, Wind Waker HD, Xenoblade X, and especially Smash Bros Wii U all helped drive the system.... but not much because they were massively spread out...speaking of Smash Wii U
- Yes Syy, Smash Bros also came out on the 3DS... with a more terrible online... poorer graphics, breaking circle pads,fewer modes than Wii U's, no 8 player Smash, need to buy either a New 3DS or an NFC reading device to use amiibos and *drum roll*...
no GC controllers to use... so yeah... Syy is apparently didn't know much about the different between Wii U and 3DS versions... so him even bring this up once again made him look more stupid... and I don't like that.
- Bringing up Botw... for what? It was supposed to be a Wii U title, but again, it came out when Wii U was dead in the water... so of course they eventually ported to NX (later called Switch)
- Marketing problems... finally he got something right...
- Why choose XboxOne and PS4 over Wii U? True, but still Wii U has gamepad and free online... and that's it... and again first IP droughts and terrible marketing decisions were the huge factors... also the loss of Japanese studio support...
- "Switch being underpowered than already underpowered Wii U".... this was where I really want Syy to just shut up about the specs and power... it appears that Syy obviously has no knowledge on console specs and considers a console is better when it's the most powerful... PS3 initial launch just made his point invalid... also we already heard Switch Tegra X1 chip despite not being powerful, it's architectures makes the console easy to develop for.
- Sure the concerns of battery life, weight are legit but again they are just personal concerns... and I would love to play long terms games on a long road trip duh....
- No, you aren't right Skyrim, Syy, apparently Syy keeps underestimating the console being a hybrid... a lot people love the fact that you can play Skyrim and DOOM at home or on the go.
- Switch is not "Nintendo throwing up their hands in defeat" is more like "You can keep staying on this crappy gold mine and fighting while I go and search for a new frontier"
- Weird, his statements on indie games beside of "snappier" can also be suited for AAA games on Switch too (Regardless of it being an old port)... so I am sort of seeing double standard I guess? But perhaps is again Syy heavily consider AAA games being highly graphical...
- No Youtube or Netflex... cherry picking argument since even my phone which is more portable and cheap than Switch can run Youtube and Netflex smoothly. So yeah, moving on
- Sam with no voice chat for Splatoon 2... or saying it sucks... again, cherry picking...
- You expect Switch to "switch" batteries? No good phones in 2017 can even do that... geez...
