Honest Trailers has been on a roll as of late with its game-related trailers, and this week is no exception, as the team at Smosh has chosen to go after the Nintendo Switch in glorious fashion.

The newest Honest Game Trailers, which can be seen above, focuses on everything about the system, as well as the legacy of Nintendo and the lack of third-party games. And, yes, it also brings up the millennial-based commercial that made its debut back in October, with Becky (it's really Karen, guys – come on!) bringing a system to a rooftop party and basically getting gossip started.

This trailer begins, "From the creators of some of the most successful and beloved consoles of all time…and also the Wii U," and then digs into how the system is a "Wii U and a PS Vita…at the same time."

From there, it breaks down the features that are included with the system, including the "motion controls and gimmicky games of the Wii, the portability of the 3DS, the touch screen of the Wii U, and the graphical power of…also the Wii U." Then the control types are discussed, including ones that suggest sexual positions, like the "missionary" and the "free baller." It also digs at the size of the JoyCons ("a controller sized for ants"), as well as the third-party "scraps" that are available for the system, alongside Nintendo's first-party line-up, including Super Mario Odyssey and the next Splatoon game (where you balance between "squidness" and "kidness" and ponder why Nintendo doesn't know what Skype or Discord are).

Really, it's worth watching, just because of all the digs at games like Mario + Rabbids: Kingdom Battle and 1-2-Switch!, even though it's all done in good fun. And, to be fair, the guys do give a shout-out to the Metroid games, which is what we really wanted. And they even give the Neo-Geo re-releases a nod as well.

The video is above, and it's a lot of fun if you think the Switch is a little more gimmicky than you think it needs to be. Still, it's taken in stride, and has a few chuckles for Nintendo fans and haters alike.
