Nintendo Switch (Currently Plagued) - Here we shit post about the new Nintendo console, The Switch

Incredible. Dead pixels on a brand fucking new LCD screen are most definitely product defects.
That's what most companies would say about dead pixels though. It's shit but it's always been shit.

It's always one step forward, two steps back with Nintendo, isn't it?
It's hard to say with all the hysteria, shitposting and dismissing how common problems are and aren't. I would wait some time before getting one, though.
 
4) Save my money. I don't have the time I used to be able to spend gaming. Plus Persona 5 drops next month and the PS3 version still looks great.
Get the Dolphin emulator and the Twilight Princess and Wind Waker ROMs. You can massively turn up the graphics, even beyond the graphical enhancements of WWHD.
That said, anyone buying the Switch now is purchasing an underspec'd device. The rumor on the block is that around November (or Christmas), Nintendo will release a Switch XL or otherwise beefed up Switch.

Im hearing that the left Joycon is having desync issues when detached and that almost every person is having this problem.

Another problem is the Switch not reading game cards. This is apparently "fixed" by plugging headphones in the headphone jack which is right next to the card slot. Sounds like a power problem.
 
Nintendo should just stick to handhelds honestly.
I mean, that's kind of what they wanted this to be, just that they also wanted to still somewhat make home console style games.

Problem being that they felt the need to rush this to retail, or at least that's the impression I'm getting judging by the myriad of hardware problems this thing has. You would think that after the WiiU, they would have learned that they should take their time with this sort of thing. A rushed game is one thing, that can still be patched if need be. A rushed games console? Not so much.
 
Eh, is it possible to cheat the system and buy a return policy warranty in case the switch fucks up and I can get a new one before the warranty expires? (Warranty usually lasts up to a year)
 
Looks like more shit that prioritizes gimmicks over everything else.
Them going the gimmicky route would be fine... if they actually did something interesting with it.
The stereoscopic 3D on the 3DS? As far as I know, the only thing that made vaguely decent use out of it were a couple smaller levels in 3D Land.
The WiiU's gamepad? Despite everyone and their mom telling them to make a tabletop RPG sort of thing, nothing of the sorts. The only instances where the Gamepad feels really justified was Nintendo Land and maybe Fatal Frame 5 with the whole camera thing? Being able to play most games without having to turn on the TV is convenient to an extent, but some games just flatout won't let you.
The Wii at least made a decent case for shooter controls, but that sort of thing thriving on a console made by a company as adamant about 'protecting children' as they are?

I get them wanting to stand out in different ways, since we don't exactly need three low-end PCs arbitarily seperated by the exclusive games they can offer (the market barely has any business handling two, seeing how the PS4 gets pretty much every decent exclusive under the sun and Microsoft threw their hands in the air and went "fine, we'll bring everything to Windows 10"), but despite being as obsessed by gimmicks as they are, it only rarely seems to go beyond "wouldn't it be cool if?" as they refuse to ask themselves "okay, and what now?".
 
The Gamecube was pretty powerful, more so than the ps2, but nintendo never really did anything with it in terms of content
Part of that problem was like the N64, they chose some other media to run it on, so it ran discs, but tiny non-standard ones that held less data but still had the scratching/loading problems like regular ones. The PS2 and Xbox could double as DVD players, and the GameCube couldn't. There were some cool stuff planned for the GameCube that never was released, like an adapter for the memory card that could read SD cards.

I can't get over how in the year 2017 you get a brand new gaming system without backup and save transfer out of the box, I don't care who it is, that shit is pathetically backwards.
This is how Nintendo is apologists is 3,2,1...
