It's a culture shock seeing you in the Redacted studio covering these topics Clayton! But I'm a gamer as well, and think you're doing a great job with this channel ❤😊
Just picked up the complete xenoblade chronicles collection I think I’ll be good for the next few decades 😂 I have to say the music in this series is so good I just love siting in the morning drinking some tea and just listen to the soundtracks. I know this isn’t the other channel but thank you for covering what’s going on here in Canada just watch your last video.
I just did the same and am half way through the first! It’s fun, but my goodness there’s a lot to do.
The switch is up there as one of my favorite Nintendo consoles of all time
Nintendo Switch is an amazing console with an incredible library. Plan on playing & collecting for the Switch for a long time.
I love the switch. People are complaining about when are we getting switch 2. I said be glad for what you have. I got so many negative comments because I said that. Alot of people are never satisfied.
You do have to understand that people want a more powerful Nintendo Switch where games can run much smoother. Nothing wrong with that but I am happy with my OLED Switch as well up until something gets announced though.
I've got negative comments for saying the same. You are not alone 💪🏻
I'm glad the switch 2 is coming because switch 1 stuff will be cheaper. Some of the best games come out at the end of a consoles life cycle
Oh I forgot, I hear Astral Chains on the switch a hidden gem.
I'll add a few: Splatoon2/3 and Monster Hunter Rise + Sunbreak DLC.
Perfect timing, we are surprising our son with a switch for his birthday. Thanks for the suggestions. I might have to pick up Metroid for myself that was my favorite game growing up.
You read my mind Clayton, haha. Perfectly timed video as I just got a lite to tide over until Switch 2! Thanks!
"Talk about getting your money's worth!" Well...over time, consoles & their original release physical games have absolutely exploded in price..., so long as they're not at risk of the console's parent company disabling games due to a necessary internet connection to play & corporate greed. Otherwise, you just gotta keep em! Nintendo has usually faired well, especially w their own 1st party games... I don't know if the switch requires an internet connection, though...(?) But, as for playtime for me in 2023 & Q1 2024 - - Elden Ring ~400hrs - Baldur's Gate 3 ~250hrs
Switch is the only console currently on the market with real physical media. Pc abandoned it long ago. And the newest Xbox and PlayStation have fake physical media. As soon as I realized that I put it back in the box and took it back
@@drowningin -- Yeah, it's a real shame to see what's become of gaming via real physical media on PC & consoles starting with Xbox One & PS4 -- so much for nostalgia or kids discovering gaming through their parent's old consoles. & Yes, definitely long gone for PC, but the physical copies of games you could get there used to be pretty amazing w/elaborate game boxes that housed the game & usually a lot of cool extra stuff. Even the old school instruction books for PC were great -- often times, they were literal books! I mean, I remember getting games at the store as a kid -- on the ride home before you even got the game installed, if you opened the box, you could immediately start the overall gaming experience in an indirect sort of way...
That’s cool you have a game channel too, I’m subscribed to your other channel and now this one! Great video!!!
I just picked up Red Dead 1 physical and I been loving it. Looks & plays amazing handheld.
I enjoyed watching this. Doesn't get much better than TOTK. I've almost hit 300 hours. Loved every bit of it! I didn't think Zelda could get much better than BOTW but Nintendo created this masterpiece. If I could suggest a game for you that would be the Bayonetta 3. Another great game
Hell yea Clayton, love the channel and content!!!
The most time I have spent is Hyrule Warriors Definitive Edition. A hidden gem is Spiritfarer. I have never heard of Dredge so I will give that a whirl.
>350 hours in Tears of the Kingdom, and still about 8 side quests to do. And a lot of crazy machines to build and test. 😺 Btw. This and BotW are the only games I spent many hours in watching other people play on KZhead. It‘s so much fun to see how others solve the puzzles and how they‘re exploring the world.
This channel is so much better than all the other Nintendo channels..the other channels are always talking about bs speculation....subscription added👍🇦🇺
I've put about 110 hours in TOTK at this point and I am going crazy, in a good way! I'll be in one spot, but I feel like I am being pulled from many different directions to go and do interesting activities. Excellent video.
I would highly recommend fire emblem 3 houses! That’s an incredible tactical experience 🌶️
Finally! Game recommendations! I have all the games you mentioned except Red Dead Redemption and Dredge. Haven't played Pikmin yet though. Tons of backlog but not worried at all since I've already invested in these games to play until I retire. Haha! I'm looking forward to Vol 2! Just great to be following you and Natalie over there at Redacted and your gaming channel. You guys have the best format in all of the YT channels that I follow.
Ooo you should do more of these🔥🔥🔥
I think I put about 150+ hours into Death Stranding, I got the platinum for it. I've also S ranked most of the orders, they are like separate challenges in and of themselves. You can pick up the game for really cheap now so definitely great value for your money.
Death Stranding is on my list!
🎉❤ loving the fact that your making these types of videos for the best system ever!!! 🎉❤
Playing F zero X for the n64 on retroarch on my phone. Easily one of the best & fastest racers I have ever played & the soundtrack? Amazing
Nice. Are you playing it on an android phone? I know Apple just allowed emulators this week.
@@ClaytonMorris Yes I have a high end gaming phone. I have several emulators installed. I have PPSSPP for PSP games, Duckstation for PS1 games, Nether SX2 for PS2 games, Retroarch for SNES & N64 games & Dolphin for GameCube & Wii games. All the emulators that I just mentioned apart from Dolphin work with RetroAchievements so most of the old games have full achievement sets. Currently going for the full set for F zero X. I also have PS4 remote play & can cloudstream my PC games on Steam. I am well & truly spoilt for choice 🤣
Good call on the Pikmin. I bought the original on the Gamecube (came out right around launch in 2001) & I've been a fan ever since. IMO it's the best IP Nintendo has made in the last 20+ years. Such a laid back vibe & really cool atmosphere that really makes you feel like you're a small alien creature making your way through gardens & backyards with the help of your Pikmin army.
Dude love your videos and the deep dives on your opinion on gameplay. I played red dead when it came out and undead nightmare. However I was young and never was interested in the story. Got it for the switch and im on the road to finishing the game. Has been such a treat to play it again with a more mature mind. Now I got to play red dead 2 again😂
I have a soft spot for Persona 5 Royal because it was my first persona game and I put nearly 200 hours into it. Plus Morgana the cat is voiced by Cassandra Lee Morris, and I swear she appears in all my favourite games. She voiced Lin Lee Koo from Xenoblade X, she voiced Aoi Asahina from Danganronpa, she voiced Marie from Astral Chain and operator 6O from Nier Automata. Every one of these games can be played on Switch with the exception of Xenoblade X. Speaking of Xenoblade, honourable mention to Xenoblade 3 Future Redeemed. The price of that dlc relative to the quality is practically unmatched. Perhaps it is nostalgia talking, but there were so many characters and references from past games that I couldn’t stop smiling throughought the entire playthrough. They took a massive game and made it digestible for a new audience, while streamlining/improving the combat similar to what Torna the GC did for Xenoblade 2.
I want to know when Clayton finds time to game.
I am not a gamer anymore. I bought a switch along with 20games last summer during a trip to Japan and among them TOTK. Last summer I spent 700 hours playing this game but because of my heavy schedule and family I was constantly tired as I was playing it during the night. Now I’m just collecting and playing a couple of hours week here and there.
If you play 1 hour a week your still a gamer
@@user-vg1vj3yv4uhaha thanks but with so little time to invest in games I’m missing out as i don’t feel like I can finish them. For some reason I’m drawn to games that take long hours to complete. I am on vacation until Sunday and I played one hour of Xenoblade chronicles and it feels like a huge game…
I've already bought xenoblade chronicles 2, ordered the first and 3rd game for my switch, hope those games as good as people claim they are. They seem like they might take a while to beat
You DEFINITELY won't regret your decision!!! Happy trails...I'm 68 and played most platforms and tons of games...this is bar none AWESOME!!!
They are. And I say this as someone who started the series when Definitive Edition came out in 2020.
The game I usually end playing the most are the FIFA games but in this case FC24. In 2023, Dead Space and Callisto Protocol were my most enjoyed single-player experiences ❤
Awesome list. I also love tears of the kingdom and have spend so much time in Hyrule. My Dad passed away last year to the day pretty much, and since Zelda came out in May last year I've played it weekly since and nearly done 200 hours. It came out at the right time for me and gave me a place of peaceful solace and joy. It's the best game I've ever played. ( Not completed it either !)
Great background music!
Red dead is superb on switch, but don't forget Need for Speed hotpursuit remastered🏆 another Banger🌭
Thanks for your game reviews! My son and I play switch games every day.
Hi! I’m subscribing because your channel feels so safe and fun. Keep up the good work!
This is a safe channel! No woke gender stuff. Here for video games!
@@ClaytonMorris nice!
@@ClaytonMorrishey I was just wondering other than the main games you would expect to have, what are some games that didn’t quite make the list?
It took me like 10 seconds to realize I'm not hallucinating when I saw you talking about the games I've just ordered for my young guy
Loved TOTK definitely on top of our list, almost finished it, done all the quest…. I bought Hollow Knight for 8£ on digital, best bang for the buck i spent so far, I’m about 100 hours and the game is absolutely gorgeous, I would say maybe the best platform game I have ever played…. Get it if you haven’t yet!
Great video! All of those games are fantastic. If you haven't already, Dark Souls Remastered is a great bang for your buck.
Woah woah woah. I thought you focused on geopolitical affairs, not gaming with the boys?!?! Hahaha 😂 right on! My favourite switch games would have to be 1. hades 2. FFX 3. Smash bros and 4. Vampire survivors and 5. Steamworld Heist some BONUS games I like are: Cat Quest 2, Nexomon, Dragon Quest 1+2+3, Voidscrappers, crosscode and hot wheels unleashed ❤
Cannot emphasize on how much I appreciate that my favorite journalists are also fellow gamers. Love the content man. Also if you're into Dredge, check out Dave the Diver. Its a masterpiece
Thank you so much yes that’s on my list to check out on my ever increasing backlog
New subs because of this. What I love about this channel is you have a great time with the ns games even you alreqdy a dad ❤ same here trying to check how to enjoy the games again 😢😢
Welcome aboard!
Appreciate and love this content. Love world news content too
I hope the Switch 2 will have physical copies.
They will and there's going to be backward compatibility.
@@ClaytonMorris that’s exciting. When is it coming out?
@@ClaytonMorristhe backwards compatibility is not confirmed. Nothing is confirmed right now since Nintendo themselves haven't uttered a peep. But if backwards compatibility is included that would be nice.
@@Ghost88o9 When Santa Claus comes to town.
Nice list. Definitely some more games that are the best bang for your buck: With story: - Monster Hunter Stories 2 - No Mans Sky - Witcher 3 - Immortal Fenyx Rising Other games to pass the time:(Solo and/or Co-op) - My Little Universe - Unrailed - Moving Out(1&2) - Kirby & the Forgotten Land Also TotK is so great, my 7 year old has gotten skilled enough to take down Gleeoks, Black and silver Lynels. I can't even tell how much hours I've put in because we have 2 Switches but its the same account so it logged in both of our playtimes together.😂
That’s amazing. I have an incredibly difficult time, taking down those enemies in tears of the kingdom.
@@ClaytonMorris - Here is a quest for you. Get a Royal Guards Claymore(RGC) from Hyrule Castle & Royal Guards Bow(50 damage). RGC can do massive damage when on the brink of being destroyed, so attach a decent enemy material with high damage to it & you can probably get 90-120 damage from it. When facing a Lynel(preferably black or silver ones since they drop Savage Lynel Bows), hit them in the face with arrow to stun. Then climb them & during this, Switch to RGC & hit him repeatedly(Durability is not affected during this). Repeat until it's dead. Take Savage Lynel Bow to Death Mountain & feed it to a Rock Octorok, it will spit it out with a added buff. Kill the Octorok & find a 2nd Octorok. Hard save & feed it the Bow for an even more enhanced buff. It should be yellow & reload save if you don't get 5-Shot Burst which is a Bow that shoots 5 arrows(1 is consumed from inventory) but it can do a maximum damage output of 160 if all hit, unless you attach a material to the arrow, which will increase damage even more. Make sure to kill Rock Octoroks after they consume your weapon though & once a blood moon occurs, you can do this again. Also make sure to take the RGC to get a AttkUp buff too for even more damage. Going to the mid-west area of the depths, you can find the prestine version of a RGC to get even more attack out of it, mine is at 194 damage. As for the Lynel, you can always start with the red or blue ones, take their bows & work your way up to the black or silver ones. I went for the Lynel underneath Hyrule Castle in the Depths which carries a Savage Lynel Bow. Killing them enough times will eventually cause their Bow, weapon, and/or shield to have a buff due to a level up system that we can't see. So eventually you will potentially get 5-Shot Burst Savage Lynel Bows from them when you defeat them. It's was a pretty fun thing for me to do & I now have a full inventory of them. You should try it out if you want to have a good reason to play it again. Sorry for rambling, I just get too excited from talking about things like this.😅
What the heck Clayton? lol feels like i entered a different time line seeing you talk about games. Also i think you should check out a few different games on the Switch that cross that threshold of Redacted and Gaming. Megaman X collection = Transhumanism and AI Xenoblade Chronichles 3 = shattering the paradigms/dialectics Shin Megami Tensei V = Symbology, religion, eschathology, end-times **
Great recommendations, I've always said I would give Pikmin series a chance and for some reason life gets in the way.
Fortress under seige would be good on switch. An updated version
Did you ever play pacman on the atari series Or asteroids. A bit before my time, but do you remember 8 trucks?
I have a great hidden gem for you my friends. Battle Chasers Nightwar it's such an amazing RPG and it'd a must have for your physical collection..
Soon as you mentioned dredge, everything you said in this video was valid lol! I’m currently playing dredge and I’m obsessed and running for my life most of the time. ^v^
@Clayton If you really liked Fire Emblem: Engage, please take a look at another game called "Unicorn Overlord".
I'm about 20 hours into it as we speak. Amazing game.
@@ClaytonMorris Glad to hear you're enjoying it, man! Have fun! 😄
I think I might get super Mario cart for the kids next... 😂
Super Mario World is the best 2D. There's no contest.
Contra Operation Galuga is a fun run and gun game.
My suggestion would be Splatoon 3. I'm clocked in at over 2000 hours so far and the game never gets old.
It amazes me how few people bring up Mario Super Golf. You can play it as a cartoon, or go very difficult pure golf game, or any mix in between. The only thing it needs is a DLC package like Mario Kart's for even more courses. And for being out and about, you can always do a quick 3 or 6 round game.
That’s a great point are you talking about the latest version of Mario golf? I need to check it out. That’s one Mario game I don’t own.
@@ClaytonMorris Yes, the latest Switch version. Plus single to like 6 players, and online matches at any given moment.
Another came that I put tons of hours in is Harvest moon Wonds of Anthos. Tons of things to explore & it’s a open world
DQ 11, octopath, the ff switch ports the oruginal 7 is like 20 bucks and you get a ton of hours and the best story in gaming
I was stuck on my DS3 and PS3 as I couldn't afford new systems for several years. I finally managed to buy a Switch Oled, I am so happy. I wanted play the Fire Emblem games, also Breath of the wild, Hogwarts Legacy, Rune Factory. I love RPGs. I am slowly building a new collection.I will check out some of the other games you suggested. 😏👍
You are going to love this machine. There are so many great RPG‘s and different series on the Nintendo switch Metroid prime remastered, Pikmen, Xenoblade Chronicles 1,2, and 3. The list is endless.
I would add kingdom come deliverance to your list which released last month on switch though i would recommend the ps4 or steam version. Amazing game took about 60 hours to platinum and i still have 2 more dlcs left to finish. Warhorse studios are also revealing their next game today.
I have 200+ hours on Monster Hunter Rise….but in the last year or so I have 90 hours in Unicorn Overlord, 80 hours in Octopath Traveler 2, and 150 hours in Tears of the Kingdom.
It would be awesome if you could review more switch games as well! What do you think about Halo?
I paid $7 for Hollow Knight. $7!
I'm waiting to see if the next Nintendo is backwards compatible with all the Switch games. I really hope so. What do you think Clayton?
Ring Fit Adventure is amazing despite costing a little bit more than regular Switch games because of the Ring Con.
For 2023, as a PS5 owner: TLOU part 1 and 2 on Hardened NBA 2k24 until it sucked RDR2 story GTA V Story/Online As a gamer. I really want to play GOTY Zelda. Sounds fun. GG
Please do other platforms as well
The new EA FC 24 is the BEST SOCCER ( Association football) game on Switch. It's way better the previous FIFA 18 to 23 titles. Ths graphics, the player movement. It's 30 fps but a snappy or fast 30 fps when played on a " game mode " on TV and 1080p setting on the console .
These games are a bit dear! If you want a cheap thrill the Steamworld games are always on offer for about $5. I would recommend indy titles in general such as Enter the Gungeon or Hollow Knight for bang for your buck.
I absolutely loved Pikmin 4. Played it last summer shortly after it came out and it was such a joy and a fitting vibe for the summer days. I only played Pikmin 3 deluxe before and while I did find it a pretty good game, I enjoyed 4 so much more. Awesome feel good type game.
Oddly, I’ve never played any of the other games in the series. I did buy them, but I started with number four which is very much unlike me to start with the last game in the series.
I liked 4 so much that I'll definitely play the 1+2 pack too some time soon
"I'm not gonna show the obvious ones" but then shows Mario, Pikmin, Fire Emblem, Metroid and Zelda 😂
No obvious ones are Mario Kart and Smash. All the games I showed are new for 2023 so people might be deciding whether or not they want to shell out some money whether they are worth it.
I haven’t been gaming as much as I would like to but I’ve probably put most of my hours on super Mario bros wonder great game. And also agree tears of the kingdom and breath of the wild probably the best games ever made. Incredible.
PalWorld over 500 hours , and Helldivers 2 over 30 hours haven been my main games, currently finishing Dragon's Dogma 2 around 30-50 hours.
Sadly, I have cooled on the Nintendo Switch 2 years ago, so this is a welcome insight. Overall, I am not too worried about missing out and having to pay full price for Switch games anymore. It is such a popular system there will be cheap used games floating around for years... As long as the servers are up to download the updates, or the rest of the game.🙄
I couldn’t disagree more about Wonder I just didn’t connect with it as much as I wanted. Dredge was such a good surprise!
Interesting. Yeah I loved trying to get all the seeds and all the standees in Wonder. I think I just loved the level designs so much.
Dark Alliance 2 was great at his age
I recommend that you go back and play the other Fire Emblem games. It is my favourite video game series.
Hiw convenient. I was looking into getting a Switch and I just happen to be subscribed to Redacted as well.
I bought Pikmin 4 because I thought my kids would like it and then I got hooked on it and put well over 60 hours into it 😆
Me too! I played it more than my kids.
I would try Pikmin if I wasn’t so obsessed with Metroid and RPGs.
My kid has been playing splatoon for years
Nintendo going keep working Nintendo switch oled and switch lite original switch console forever we no need Nintendo switch 2
Still playing GTA 5 online on ps5 mostly.
Also. I know it’s not a 2023 game but get cruis’n blast. I enjoy it just as much as Mario kart 8
Cruisin' blast is just that,a blast to play. Twisted metal was on one of my faves back in the day.
Cruis’n blast is underrated
It’s awesome your a gamer
I don't think there are many hobbies that can offer the $/hr value that gaming offers.
If you like fire emblem engage you would love Fire Emblem: Three houses. if you have not played it, you would probably love it.
Clayton we would like to see you play Starfield. Please 🙏
I did a couple videos on Starfield here on the channel
Disappointed that you failed to mention "Dead or Alive Xtreme 3 Scarlet" 😞😞😞
Well, I haven’t played it so I’m not gonna mention it just yet. Maybe eventually I’ll get to it.
I hate Nintendo nowadays... But, just heard that the Joycons can be used on an iPhone... Made me think that two companies that I detest, works well with each other 😅😅😅
I'm going to be pelted for this (please don't downvote me too hard), but the best nintendo switch is a solid modern windows PC and the Yuzu emulator. You can run games faster (better frame rates) and at up to 4k. Plus the ability to mod your games, it's an easy choice. I had a much better experience playing Zelda: Tears of the Kingdom on Yuzu than I would have on a switch. Ohh and
I Cant believe Rockstar release red dead redemption for the switch.I wish they would release it for PC. we been waiting for a PC release for years now.
A lot of libraries have Switch games you can borrow for free!
You don't want to get into. How's that old Texas saying go? Right. It takes one to know 1.
Is Nintendo switch better than Steamdeck?
From politics to video games 😂
Other way around. Been playing games since my dad brought Pong home in the late 70’s.
gotta be breath of the wild 123 houres and sky free to play by the way its kind a wild if you think of the switch only has 4 gigabites of ram and all the games you can play on it
A flight simulator (with HEAVY arcade control elements) called TAKEOFF. In the Nintendo E-Shop for 19.99 but I got it on sale for 11.99. Better than many Triple A titles I have played in the same genre.
I want to buy my granddaughters switch consoles which one should I buy them
If they are young you probably should buy the Switch Lite
@@westonmeyer3110 thanks
@@floragarcia398 Also, if you want to get games for them then probably the Peach game, Mario Wonder and Pokémon would be good.
So many game so little time 🤣 what is the most time spent on a game🤔
