Nintendo has just revealed more information about this flagship console, also known as the Nintendo Switch 2. So as far as Nintendo fans out there, it is definitely a great holiday as far as January 16th, 2025, when the official announcement of the Nintendo Switch 2 came about. Now, of course, this just makes me want to reflect on the overall success of this type of console, because if you don't know, the Nintendo Switch, one, of course, just called the Nintendo Switch, was very successful on every lip-mas scale you could look at. But as far as putting it into perspective on how popular it was, I wanted to compare it to the greatest consoles of all time, which of course is more of a subjective metric so we're specifically getting into the objective metric which is units sold and as of december 31st 2023 so it's probably a lot more since then the nintendo switch has sold over reportedly has sold over a hundred and thirty nine million units making it one of the most top top selling consoles ever.

So it's one of the top selling consoles ever. And as far as the list of top selling consoles, of course you have PlayStation 2, the most successful console of all time that sold around 155 million units sold. Then, of course, the second most profitable console of all time was the Nintendo DS,

which is the second best selling console, of course, reaching 154, million units and then as mentioned previously the one and only nintendo switch falls at number three on that list as the third most profitable console of all time with of course 139 million units placing it and third in the lifetime sales rankings and that's not even taken into account an entire year as far as 2024 so we don't know where the overall rankings still lie even though there was a significant gap between the nintendo playstation two and nintendo switch but you know the rest of the list for those who was wondering the fourth most profitable console of all time

is the game boy plus game boy color and of course the fifth most profitable console of all time is the one that people seem to not want to upgrade from which is unfortunately the playstation four or fortunately pun intended so with that being said the nintendo switch and it's successful is based off of its unique design, right? It's both a home console and then it's a portable device. Who wouldn't want that? That's like if you took your PSP, put it into a dock, and now it's like a PlayStation, right?

It's a very unique design, which in turn made it more profitable than any other console, which, granted Nintendo's whole marketing strategy of downgrading the graphics to a point where it's not as, budget heavy when you're building out these games brings that ROI quicker than other consoles such as a PlayStation such as the Xbox that put out AAA realistic graphic type quality time and time again which hurts the ROI as far as how fast it accumulates right because if you have a bigger budget it's hard to get that ROI if you have a smaller budget which is significantly dependent upon the graphics then you can

can see why Nintendo has three of the top five most profitable concerts of all time. All right. Enough with the history lesson. Now let's get into the Nintendo Switch reveal trailer because if you don't know, it is out now. And of course, it released January 16th, 2025, expected to be released sometime this year. But here's the official reveal trailer. Well, technically a first look quote unquote. And then we're going to get more into the specs after this video.

Also, I forgot. because analytic dreams video on spotify to see the video along with the audio so right now we're not just sitting in silence we're actually watching the video so once again analytic dreams video on spotify to see a video along with the audio so that's the original nintendo switch larger screen i'm just narrating right now just in case y'all can't tell all right a design change a USBc a volume button wow who would have thunk that was going to put a volume button on all right my fault let's keep we we just i'm just going to let this play out i think the stand is newer i believe i don't think the other one had a stand but maybe i'm mistaken all right i don't know

what it's doing right now so disclaimer i never had the nintendo switch i've played it a plethora of times of course because i'm around gamers so i play mario cart mario party all type of games on the nintendo switch but i never own one but the whole premise of being able to play with multiple people even though you had these little joycons you just hand them out to three other people now you're playing a four-player game with these little these little sticks right here i was like why are these so small so i'm so glad they're making it bigger that's basically uh one of the bigger standouts to me because it's only so much i can't fit in these hands you know i'm saying like i need i can't have a small controller it's it's not going to work oh no like i think y'all can see okay analytic dreams

video on spot to see the video along with the audio but y'all see this right here this this ain't going this you know i mean it can't be a small controller because my hands are just going to y'all get the point right all right y'all get the point anyways let's get back to this all right you got love the sound effects that was a crazy slap as you can tell nintendo switch two it's going to be larger and of course not only is it going to be larger but it's going to come with specific games right what type of games are you asking the one and only mario car now let me tell you something as far as mario just being the lebron james of the nintendo flat a platform as far as carrying that entire company super mario party jamboree is the most played game on that

platform mario car eight deluxe is the second most play game on that platform super smash bro well that's that's not that's technically not a mario luigi r pg brother ship is the thirteenth most play game on that platform so already and you have super mario bros wonder the seventy team most play game on that platform so already you have four games and the top 17 that are all Mario games it almost seems like that man Mario and of course the top two is held by him he has his first and second most play game on the platform so Mario's the most popular video game character of all time but not only that fact he's also a very pivotal player in a Nintendo brand of course we already know that so that's why uh this is such a big deal as

Mario card nine is rumored to come along with the Nintendo Switch 2 amongst other things. With that being said, they did say that Donkey Kong, I don't know why, but for some reason, Donkey Kong's redesign was a huge deal. A lot of people pointed it out for some reason. Hey, T's your own, right? So with this, obviously it was playing off the fact that they're going to be larger joycon style controllers with a new connection. method. A lot of people wasn't a fan of the connection because they said if it messes up, you have to buy a whole new switch. And I don't know how the original switch worked if the

connection was always fire. But it seems like them messing up, not messing with it. Well, yeah, messing with it. And supposedly, or a lot of people are predicting they're going to mess it up as it's just one of those connection type of ports where it's very iffy as far as the consumer. I guess they just wanted them to keep it the same as the Nintendo switch. Anyways, additional buttons on the right controller. A lot of people are talking about durability issues, but it's the switch. So obviously, you know, people like it enough to have it for a while. And I don't think too many people have came out to say like, oh, it wasn't reliable, right?

So I don't know why this second one would be any concern. But, you know, whenever you're changing up a design goes back to the old mantra of if it's don't, if it's not broke, don't fix it. But of course, capitalism and greed, sequels. make a ton of money. So you know a sequel was coming. Let's just see if they messed it up, right? And then of course you have the Nintendo Switch showcase scheduled for April 2nd, 2025, for a more detailed announcement. Nintendo 2 experience events as far as hands-on opportunities are in various cities such as North America as far as New York, April 4th through 6, Los Angeles, April 11th through 13, Dallas and Toronto, April 25th through 27. And then of course,

The overall hands-on opportunity is also in Europe as Paris will have their chance April 4th through to 6th. London will have their chance April 11th through the 13th. Milan and Berlin will have their opportunity April 25th through the 27th. And then Madrid and Amsterdam will have their opportunity May 9th through 11th. And of course, Oceana, Oce, no, Ocea, Ocea, Oceania, Oceania. Oshinia I think that's how you said it's spelled like I don't even know if that's ocean I ain't gonna like I ain't gonna capture you I think I just completely butcher that but I'm gonna keep it in because hey that's what I do here you know what I'm saying I mess up hey

you know I try my best right uh Melbourne basically then I get their hands-on experience May 10th and 11th Asia Tokyo is getting their hands-on experience April 26 through to 27 uh Saul I think that's how you say it is getting their hands-on experience May 31st through June 1st, Hong Kong and to pay, hopefully I said that right, dates to be decided. Okay, so those are all the hands-on experience. Those are all the dates for the hands-on experience in those respective regions. Of course, when it comes to the carrying on carry-on case, right, or the carrying case,

is a soft slash hard shell case starting at $14, really $15 as far as USD. really $16. It's $15.53. So it's $15.53. So we're just going to round up. So approximately $16. An extra large carrying case just in case you need games on games on games when you're traveling, right? That carrying case is for $26 with storage for up to 10 game cartridges and accessories. We know y'all don't play games like that. Stop lying to yourself. Anyways, storage case is about $31 for larger capacity like pro controllers, multiple joycons, etc. So if you are a gamer, just know, we're going to be looking for that storage case as far as the amount of units sold. So with that being said, I feel like Nintendo definitely sticks to their hardware when it comes to this specific game.

So a storage case would probably be in store for a lot of hardcore Nintendo, Nintendo consumers. With that being said, there's a transparent case, a black silicone case, and a tempered glass protection kit, all for $10. Of course, you have the 30 watts AC charger, and then 65 watt AC charger. The 30 watt is $16. The 65 watt is $31. Other JoyCon accessories is the JoyCon wheel grip for $11. Folding steering wheel for immersive... The folding steering wheel for immersed.

I'm immature. My fault. I had to collect myself. Folding steering wheel for immersive racing gameplay is $31, right? And then, of course, the new Mario Kart game, Super Smash Bros. Rumors, potential release. Super Smash Bros.

Let me tell you something. They're done with Super Smash Bros. They're not making any more. I know it's the Nintendo Switch 2. Well, guess what? They've put everybody they could possibly put in the Super Smash Bros. What was it called? Like the Platinum Super Deluxe Ultimate Edition?

Like I think it was Super Smash Bros. Ultimate. Let me see. Smash Bros. Ultimate. Release date. I think this is a game that they basically, nah,

that's 18. What's the latest? Super Smash Bros. Because that game, I mean, I honestly don't know what else do you. could do to it besides putting shadow besides putting shadow into this game like i really don't know what else they could add as far as characters that would get a lot of people excited the latest game

in super smash bro oh okay it was ultimate released on december 7th 2018 for the nintendo switch oh okay so i mean technically i guess it falls in line with releasing the super smash bros with every console release but i'm pretty sure the creator say he was done with that because he basically said like bro i did it all done it all like everything i set out to do in life i i i i don't accomplished so i'm like i'm done that's basically how he was talking right and he made super smash bros one of the greatest games of all time so you know it made it made sense so i think he said he was done with super uh with super smash bros like honestly i don't know what else they could add i guess there's so much so many maps and stuff but ultimately was supposed to have everything so the next game we have

to have everything and then some right i feel like it gets very uh intensive on the hardware Okay, so July, 23, December. Okay, so, Sakara, Sakurai, I'll take a Sakurai. Yeah, Sakurai. Confirmed he was still making games while also creating YouTube content. This might imply that he could still be involved in future projects, including potentially another Super Smash Bros. And then February 16, 2024, it was stated that Sakara ended his work on Super Smash Bros.

bro, is coinciding with the release of the final amoebo for the game. So basically, oh, that's 2024. That's not 2025. Okay, so the December, December, 23 February. Oh, okay. I don't know. Hmm. He says he's semi-retired, but he's still working on games.

He wants to focus more. So it seems like the consensus is he wants to focus more on his YouTube channel. So technically he says he has fatigue back in 2021, right? he spoke about an appeal for early retirement, but clarified that this did not mean he would stop working on games entirely. So it seems like he really wants to semi-retire and focus on these YouTube channel. So really that doesn't count out another Super Smash Bros. That just leads us to believe that he may not be as involved into it.

What else? That's basically they said that the reveal trailer is outperforming the PS5 announcement from 2020 makes sense people been waiting for this uh for quite some time i mean the original nintendo switch came out 2018 right nintendo switch two just got announced and we are assuming that is going to come out this year right as you can see right here april 2nd 2025 is the actual release date for nintendo switch 2 and with that being said there's been a significant gap but between the Switch 1 and the Switch 2, so it doesn't surprise me that the anticipation is so high.

Because keep in mind, this is not just some random console that they're making a sequel for. Nintendo Switch is the third most profitable gaming console of all time. So with that, the Nintendo Switch 2 coming what, 2018, 2019, 2020, 2020, 2021, 2020, 22, 22, 23, three four or 25 coming eight years after the nintendo switch originally was released is very insane because i don't think that people understand the amount of impact that the nintendo switch

had on not only the overall nintendo company but also mobile gaming as far as the i'm not going to say these came because of the nintendo switch but the steam deck the PSP rumors, the accessibility and the more quality of life improvements and enhancements as far as being able to game on your phone if you get one of those, uh, man, I forgot what they call it. The things that go with the, the phone for, uh, console games. It's like mobile attachment controller for gaming just in case y'all want to get, because I also want one of these.

So I want to get the name right. But it's an attachment and it's called, no. Oh, the backbone. Thank you. That's what I was looking for. Okay, so the backbone is something that is very pivotal as far as playing console games on your phone and still having that same experience. Like, so having a backbone at this point, it's like, it's nice.

And the overall flexibility of it makes it a must have for like. hardcore gamers that just want to maybe game in bed maybe game in their living room maybe they don't want to sit in front of their setup all the time right so the backbone steam deck all those options i think came because of seeing how the switch two is now one of well no the nintendo switch is now one of the greatest selling consoles objectively speaking the third highest as far as sales is going to the nintendo switch so that being said click my link tree in my bio Let me know one of my social media is. What do you think about the Nintendo Switch to announcement?

And what are you most looking forward to as far as improvement or an upgrade from the original Nintendo Switch?
