Did anybody get a Nintendo Switch today? Today was launch day. Just wondering if anybody got it and if you have any thoughts to share about your new console?
You'd probably feel different if you grew up in Nintendos heyday, before SEGA, before SONY PS, before XBOX,..Nah, never liked Nintendo games and consoles in general
The Switch is a disaster. Youtube is full of vids of people having hardware issues. Non functional screens, whacked out gamma, screeching sounds, joycons that dont work, the screen scratches IN THE DOCK on the first day for pretty much everybody... shoddy build quality. Framerates that dip into the TEENS for zelda in docked mode... it just goes on and on.
Total disaster. This will be Nintendo's last console. Idiots. They've been screwing up since Gamecube. N64 was their last good console. Other than that it's all been garbage.
Watching the screeching sound video hurt my ears, wtf is that? Is it cpu screaming when you put it in boiling water but that's just the air escaping? lolThe Switch is a disaster.

Yeah I saw a thumbnail for a video on that and didn't even bother clicking on it because I was like why TF would people do that? People are Fkuin stupid.There is a bitterant Applied to the cartridges. Lots of videos of people tasting them on YouTube because people are stupid
I agree, when the switch was first announced I was like "meh". Such a bad launch, it's like they picked the absolute lowest bidder to develop the hardware and just completely shit the bed with the software. This is worse then the RROD with the 360.Seriously though-- either Nintendo is run by morons or they are purposely trying to destroy their own company. Wii was their biggest system ever because casual gamers bought it. They're not going to strike gold like that twice. Wii u was a failure and now switch will be an even bigger failure. Hell, gamecube was a failure too. Nintendo hasn't won a generation outright except for Wii, SNES, and NES. They have come in second or third or worse in all other generations. Look at Virtual Boy as an example of their crackpot theories on what will work in the market. That was one of the biggest system failures of all time if not the biggest.
Nintendo used to have awesome games from lots of third parties but they started to abandon Nintendo around Gamecube. Nintendo started screwing up their first party stuff around Gamecube too by licensing properties out to other companies to make games. Those second party F Zero and Starfox games were absolute garbage, and drove me to sell my Gamecube.
Nintendo seems to think that they can succeed by being "different". Meanwhile, being different has only gotten them success ONCE (Wii) and failure so many other times. Why don't they pull their heads out of their asses and make a machine that has PS4 PRO level of power along with fun first party nintendo titles, and decent third party support?
They are doomed to become like Sega and just make games for other consoles.
The fact that the Switch scratches ITSELF in its own dock is just evidence of how idiotic this company has become.
I can't believe that wouldn't come up in their testing. Surely they docked and undocked more than one console.The fact that the Switch scratches ITSELF in its own dock is just evidence of how idiotic this company has become.
That's not the end of the world, can make a big difference in cost. You're right that you do lose out in performance though.Going ARM when other consoles are X86
I can live without 4k. Especially from something that is really just a handheld you can put on a bigger screen.1080P when all other consoles going 4K?
