[DAY 28 FINALE] I Waited an ENTIRE MONTH to be FIRST to Get a Nintendo Switch! 

This man met the future president of Nintendo without knowing it

walks in: “i’ll take 1 copy of Zelda for Wii U.”

This was an entirely different era. I remember watching these as they came out.

How awkward would it be if his card was declined

The nostalgia is hitting me like a brick. I almost forgot how insane Switch hype was and how glued in I was to this vlog series. I'm in college now, man! Thanks for the memories.

Bro I miss Etika this is the only reason why I’m back

Alex CND: Waits a month Me: I've waited for 2 years and I finally got one yesterday

I remember constantly tuning in to this series back when I was 13 turning 14. The hype was sooo out of this world it seemed. I can’t believe that this will be turning 5 years old soon, with the Nintendo switch in its entirety as well. Now I’m 18 turning 19 haha. Definitely feels different nowadays.

so happy for you. watched a quick bit of all 30. was so cool to watch someone be a part of something like this and commit. stay amazing!

Seeing Etika man, with Tears of The Kingdom so close I can only wish he were here to see it.

Ahhhh... Good times, when our boy was still alive and well... R.I.P etika

every time i see Etika in your vids my heart goes > 💔 R.I.P 😞

The montage at the end felt like the ending of tv series...

Plot twist: Reggie was in the Mario suit

It’s still incredible to watch this mark in history, I vividly remember the excitement and hype I’d feel every time a video was released and even looking back on it now still gets me so excited. Reminds me of a different, simpler time. The sense of community and friendship was just indescribable.

bro watching this vid again and seeing etika at 0:45 made me tear up 😢. Rest in peace King you will be missed ❤

_Thank you for taking us on with your journey to get the first Nintendo Switch. This has been great, you've been uploading everyday for the past month, you definitely deserve this. You do a lot of hard work and for that we love you. We will miss you in New York._ *Thank you.* I'm going to miss you Gabe.

Dang this was a wild ride CND, Triforce and co really made the wait for the switch bearable and fun kind of sad to see the saga but thanks for the good times CND and I hope you enjoyed your stay in nyc. P.S Gabe was definitely the best character in this anime, the arc where he breaks his 3ds and gets a new one from the stranger was so well written.

Wow man, how has it been 6 years?? I remember coming home from school eating a bowl of cereal and watching these

Cannot believe this happened 5 years ago today. I remember watching these vlogs when they first came out, and it really brought the community together and made some really great moments that will forever be apart of history. Happy 5th anniversary to the Nintendo Switch and the New York Launch line. Thank you for launching a legacy that put united Nintendo community for this very moment. 🎉🎂

I'm so happy for you CND, I got happy for just seeing your face. You waited and entire month for the switch and I admire what you did. Congrats CND!

*Wait!!! Who gave you that letter and told you NOT to open until you get your Nintendo Switch!!!?*

Such funny irony...Doug Bowser being a last minute substitute for Reggie when they though the "NoA President" was gonna be there. And now...well, that's not wrong anymore. We should've known. This was TWO YEARS advance warning for that fateful Twitter video.

After all these years it’s still heartwarming that bowser knowing the power he has with that whole building in the moment of Alex he let him have it and recorded him living his moment.

Thanks CND, TriForce, Gabe and everybody else for this amazing adventure!! loved watching every episode, and waited a long time for this one.. but it was worth waiting for!! Wish you guys all the luck in the world!! Grtz from Holland!!

top 10 anime series finale Edit: I'm really going to miss these vlogs. CND has to do another launch for Odyssey.

Seeing etika in this makes me happy and sad. Joycon boyz for life

I remember watching this video so long ago the nostalgia is real

6 years later: WAITING AN ENTIRE YEAR FOR THE NINTENDO SWITCH 2

I actually cried after watching this. This was honestly such a great series, and seeing all the people you met, all the things you've done, it's really sad to see it all come to an end. I hope that this won't be the last month-long journey, and that you might return to NYC sometime in the future. Seeing you with Triforce, Mike, Gabe, everyone, I'm gonna miss it. I don't think we deserve the biggest thank you. Thank YOU, CND. Thank you for letting us in on your journey, it's been a great ride, even from home.

oh my god.... I was about to have a heart attack when I saw Etika... I forgot this was a video from 2017.. Really miss the guy.

Randomly remembered this, I wanna go back to these times 😔

You have a fan from Brazil too bro! I'm so happy for you!! You deserved it!! 😎👍

Etika: I'm about to put an explicit on your camera CND: ...? Etika: *FFFFFFFFFFFF-*

the best vlog series ever. its amazing to see how positive that whole trip was and how that small group of strangers became a little family. i remember watching little alex 9 years ago buying the 3ds and id sit in my room so excited to get mine and unbox it just like you. idk where youre at, i hope youre safe but im sending my love brother.

It’s been 6 years wow

That was freaking hype. Loved watching the VLOG every day and this was a fantastic way to close it all out.

You know. Recently I saw the most disgusting hate video about the Nintendo Switch and us Nintendo fan. The guy was just a Sony fan boy, and no different than a lot of Nintendo haters. But this video reminds me that we our an awesome community of gamers, that know how to have fun with everyone. I know that in every community has their bad apples, but Nintendo fans definitely are the most dedicated and loyal fans base in a good way. We don't go out of out way to hate others for liking other game consoles, we just stick to what we like and share our hype with one another. And I feel like these vlogs have been able to capture this beautifully!!!!

This and Etika really made me feel the hype for the Switch. Miss those simpler days... Rest in peace Etika. You will be missed...

It's really heartwarming to see how nice Alex and Jacob are. Most people would have just kept the candy. It's awesome to see how the Nintendo community comes together to help each other. Thanks so much Alex!

Congratulations. YOU WIN! You made it to the end. Thanks for letting us interview you. The world and us can't wait to see what you do next. Good luck! You got this!

4-6 years later.... Day 1: till we meet again (what I mean) I'm talking about Gabe and everyone else that he's not going to see them until he goes back to New York (if he does again) to the Nintendo NY Store for the new Nintendo gaming console

2 year's already R.I.P. Etika ❤

0:49, this is why I love Etika... R.I.P

Your the best man thank you for everything, your are the reason i came down from chicago and made my outfit lol. im enjoying my Nintendo Switch right now the best everrrrrr!!! CONGRADULATIONS!!! ON BEING NUMBER 1 :) I wanted to add that on my 15 hour drive back I got really sick ambulance and all but I pulled threw. Scary but It was all worth it cause it changed lives, my children and my lady and her children all had a beautiful time. the excitement their little heart meeting CND and Triforce was never to be forgotten. The biggest thank you cause at that moment family was seen threw out kids connecting and to see family threw the Nintendo community. One big family, much love and respect CND. you really made our hearts fill with joy. Thanks dude!!!!😆😆😆

5 years on and this is still an amazing series. Hope to see another great launch another day!

0:43 and 2:27 hit me like a load of rocks😔🖤#JoyconBoyz

i legit cried watching your memory reel of all of this dude thank you for allowing me to be a part of your youtube world and to be a part of your journey. words will probably never be enough to thank you jacob and triforce for all that youve done. ive found a good friend and a good person in you and jacob and when you come back to ny for the next launch best believe ill be there to do this all over again. Thank you for everything alex we will hang out again soon im sure. And to anyone here that ended up subscribing to my channel and gave me a chance on my content thank you all you guys are the best and i am eternally greatful for everything

CND! This is way late, but I hope you get this. Thank you for being part of my Nintendo Switch console launch memories. I will always look back on this as my favorite console launch of all time and you are one of the reasons for that! You represent what I think Nintendo and video games in general are all about. I wish you more success and hope you're enjoying your Switch!

damn, rewatching this video 6 years after I first saw it brings back a kind of nostalgia I hadn't felt in a while

If it wasnt for me seeing day 1 in my recommendation I wouldn't have seen this amazing channel.

I watched every single one. Again, Congrats CND!

Back here in 2021, I remember watching these back as a kid. Rip Etika ;~;

Probably the most wholesome vlog I’ve ever seen. Your a good dude CND you’re living the Nintendo dream, best wishes

I was so happy for you, wished I could've been there. Nintendo fans just seem so happy, you guys were such a joy to watch. It's gives me pride to be a Nintendo Gamer. I look forward to seeing this series return hopefully in 4-6 years when the next console makes an appearance. I hope everyone will return, including Triforce even though he's I guess "retired". Your friendship with everyone was the real prize at the end of all this. It was the one you didn't expect, and that's what makes it great. :) And of course the Switch. I'll be waiting for you and Jacob's unboxing.

Looking back from the end, I was reminded how much fun we had, memories you made, and all of the funny Gabe moments, liquid gold we ate, and fun times we had. I will miss these days. Thank you Alex. Sincerely, from the bottom of my heart, thank you.

Get ready for Switch 2 boys🤜🤛

Rewatching this series and man the nostalgia is real, was wild watching these come out in real time

Wow. I followed your videos since day 1. I'm so happy for you, that you finally reached your goal! 😃 Congrats CND! You deserved it! Greetings from Germany!😉

Kidnap Gabe so he can be in every vid.

I watched Alex’s daily update everyday after school back in 2017. I finally ordered my switch a few days ago in 2021 (almost 4 years later) and can’t wait for it to arrive!

Who remembers watching the entire series back in the day. CND was the goat back then 🔥

Wow very emotional and very excited for you congratulations you did it your amazing and felt like I was with you the whole journey wow you are awesome CND feels like I made another best friend Congrats!!!

Btw, go back to Nintendo NY during the holidays for the midnight launch of Mario Odyssey and have a reunion with everyone you met!

Happy 2nd Anniversary for Nintendo Switch! For CND i hope you're healthy as ever and going back Vlogging, I really miss you CND, you and Etika are one of the Ultimate reason why i'm buying the Nintendo Switch.

cant believe this was 2 years ago

Only Nintendo fans can understand the emotion !

mfw I wanna watch it now, but the processing hasn't finished and I'm stuck with a choice between watch in 360p or wait for 1080p...

Rewatching this series makes me so happy.

that was a month? feels like 1st video was yesterday congrats Alex enjoy the switch :)

This video hit me right in the feels

This has been one of the coolest things to see and see how what should have been a boring slog through a month turned out to be such an amazing and fun journey for you and everyone else in that time. I hope you and Gabe continue to talk and work together because you two are absolutely amazing together.

The guy who made the video- "I waited an ENTIRE MONTH" Me- "I waited 2 yrs and still am waiting"

Dude met a girl and a week later had their first kiss? Bruh, this guy is fast.

That compilation reminded me that this month was never about Nintendo. Not once. It was always about the awesome people that CND met along the way.

The fact that so many people were originally doubting the switch but it turned out to be a success makes this so much better

hey alex, chilled donuts here back again with another nostalgia related comment. dude watching these videos is so surreal it honestly has felt like a lifetime since the switch came out and with tears of the kingdom days away i cant help but sit here and reminisce of the times when i was watching these videos back in the day when you first uploaded them. Here's to many more

Congratulations man. This is a serious achievement and all your efforts have come full circle. Thanks for sharing the experience with us.

My husband and I have been watching from the beginning and I can't thank you enough for taking us along on your switch journey :D

Wow it's been 5 years since u waited a month for the nintendo switch to come out man. Memories

CND met the future nintendo President

imma throw a blue shell now and get that nintendo switch from u

Reggie wasn't there? I guess he decided at the last moment to... Switch! ... In reality he's probably just like "Dude, F*** that."

Five years.

5 fuckin years man....

You did it CND. Congrats man! I'll also miss Gabe and Triforce in your videos but maybe when the next Nintendo console releases!

Y'all made me cry 😭 Now I know why this took so long, you wanted to make this video perfect. Thank you. BUT I STILL DON'T HAVE THE SWITCH EVEN THOUGH I'VE HAD THE MONEY FOR IT FOR MONTHS BUT BEING A HIGH SCHOOL FRESHMAN WITH A MOTHER THAT DOESN'T SUPPORT HER DAUGHTER THAT LOVES NINTENDO AND STILL MANAGES TO HAVE GOOD GRADES DOES NOT HELP

I saw Etika and I got teared up😔

21:24 * The moment Alex touches this switch * I….I… It’s Beautiful

Congratulations CND and thanks for an amazing month of waiting switch launch. You make the switch launch better

I'm gonna miss these videos so much! You should do collabs with Triforce and Gabe in the future!

I remember watching this series 2 years ago, I was so hyped for the switch and finally got one in June 2017, This series hyped me up so much for the switch and it was mad when Alex finally held it in his hands. I hope you come back soon Alex

watching this 3 years exactly after he got his switch I miss those days:(

Waiting for a new series with Pluto, looking forward that, maybe some justdance videos with her

YO OPEN THE LETTWE YOU GOT THAT TOLD YOU TO WAIT FOR THE SWITCH'S RELEASE

Rip Etika. You will be missed 😢

The ending montage was so touching! the feels and what a great community

All the memories from day 1-28 was so good :,)
