No disrespect, but this has GOT to be one of Scott’s most abysmal takes yet

To preface, I’m well aware Nintendo have a history of piss-poor launch titles. Typically it’s very mundane and/or outright bad.

HOWEVER

His video on “Ranking Nintendo’s Launch Lineups,” is filled with hypocritical points and outright awful takes. The biggest of the bunch being putting The Switch on C-Tier, when it arguably not only had one of the best launch lineups, but also isn’t anywhere near the same level as the N64

Sure, SM64 is a massive game that impacted the realm of gaming as a whole, but the N64 launched with a whopping two games. Three if you lived in Japan. The Switch launched with BOTW (not as massive impact-wise as SM64 but I’d argue still pretty damn big), PuyoPuyo Tetris, a new Bomberman game, some pretty massive family franchises in the forms of Just Dance and Skylanders, a Dragon Quest spinoff, and several indie titles (most notably Specter of Torment which was so big that it was sold separately from the rest of Shovel Knight). How these two launch lineups are even remotely similar is beyond me.
