It's impossible to agree with someone all the time, I just want them to talk about the stuff they like.
Nintendo Life, Good Vibes Gaming, Arlo, Easy Allies and Spawn Wave all do a good job when it comes to that, I believe. Of course they'll talk about stuff that disappointed them from time to time, but the majority of their videos bring the good vibes.
@HotGoomba I remember when he only did clickbait Animal Crossing news. He and NintenTalk got soo annoying, breaking down word for word the most non news things ever.
@alexwolf Quantity there's an insane amount but on the mainstream side of things there's Splatoon 3, Pokemon and to a smaller extent Sparks of Hope (Mario is mainstream but strategy is niche). So if you're more into mainstream games, TLoU Part 1 + GoW Ragnarok + a load of big 3rd party games that won't come to Switch (e.g. Gotham Knights) will likely be a stronger lineup for those people.

Eh, that's like saying, "if you're not into the plethora of games coming out there's nothing to look forward to". Well sure. If you're not into God of War there's nothing to look forward to there, either. Pokemon is massive. Mario Rabbids is massive. Splatoon is massive. There are multiple massive games, and even more games in total.
At least on Switch there's well over half a dozen exclusives which, if none of those suit your taste, why even consider yourself a Switch gamer.

@JaxonH That's the point, personal preferences. Some will say Switch has a strong year because of insane quantity and variety of releases meanwhile others will say it's kind of weak because of the lack of a BotW/Mario Odyssey type release. Similarly some will say PS5 lineup this year is strong because of the AAA blockbusters like HFW, Elden Ring and GoW Ragnarok meanwhile others will say it's weak because there's a 6 month 1st party gap between GT7 and TLoU Part 1, live service ruined GT7 and TLoU Part 1 isn't worth the price.
My view is 2022 has the potential to be the best year of the Switch.
@Grumblevolcano
Preferences are fine. Anyone can say the year looks this or that for them. But objectively speaking, this year falls in the 95th percentile for most stacked years ever. That much is indisputable.
So when certain influencers start declaring a stacked lineup as objectively weak, one of two things are true- they're holding Switch to different standard, or they confuse their own preferences as fiat.

@JaxonH yeah I'm seeing Youtubers describe this year as a slow one. Urm...where have they been the past 2 years? From the Switch side at least, this year is blowing 2020 and 2021 out of the water and will probably go down as the strongest year outside of 2017 in terms of the sheer quantity of notable releases.
The hype crowd are more interested in lack of games we don't know about than the actual games right in front of them it seems.
TWO gigantic, evolutionary steps for mainline Pokemon games.
The first fully 3D Kirby game (go home Blowout Blast, you're drunk).
The resurrection of Wii-era sports games (Switch Sports and Mario Strikers).
Two beautifully realised HD-2D games when there was concern that Octopath was a one and done (and another one's on the way in the DQIII remake as well!).
Some of the most insane 3rd party support since the Switch launched.
Multiple sequels to 2017 Switch games (Fire Emblem Warriors, Mario+Rabbids, Xenoblade Chronicles, Splatoon, the list just goes on and on).
And more to come in the future like BOTW2, Advance Wars and maybe even more Metroid. ******* bonkers.

I've not bought any of Nintendo's first party releases this year, ($80 freaking dollars!!!) mainly because I wanted to buy some smaller stuff. OH BOY does this year have some heavy hitters to choose from.
(I've only bought PLA this year as "first party" stuff goes)
@JaxonH If they're presenting opinions as fact then that's a different problem, I don't watch these kind of things in general so I don't know whether that's the case. Digital Foundry, Nintendo Life and the odd time GVG are the closest (used to watch GX years ago). I'm fine with getting info from official accounts and sites like Nintendo Life.
@Grumblevolcano
At least GameXplain doesn't give Monster Hunter the silent treatment under the new crew. Kills me seeing channels ignore Monster Hunter Rise Sunbreak. It's only one of the greatest video games I've ever played in my life. No biggie.

I'm literally laying in bed playing Sunbreak, a few feet away from my dock. No reason whatsoever not to dock it and play at higher fidelity, other than I enjoy playing on the tablet more.
I don't think I'm gonna be able to hold out for that Pro model. I've had to stop myself multiple times from grabbing a pre-owned OLED tablet on ebay.
