The Nintendo Switch...kinda sucks, and I’m prepared to defend that statement. I'm nothing if not well versed in people being angry at me on the internet, and I know I can’t just say a thing like this, so we're going to go in-depth. Buckle in and let's really deep dive why exactly the Nintendo Switch kinda sucks, and why Nintendo kinda sucks too.

Hi, yes I changed my name from CryMor. I understand if you hate it, or it's confusing, or whatever it makes you feel. I wanted to take this brand new video as a chance to explain to you why I changed it. Why "CryMor?" So it started with me and CryptoSpook, CRYptospook and MORiarty, doing CSGO content in a genre called Overwatch. Over the years, Crypto left, and some other people came and left. My content changed from CSGO to first impressions, from first impressions to longer reviews, from reviews to opinion commentary. Throughout all of this, I was "Moriarty from CryMor." Earlier in 2020, it became just me here on the channel, which is also around the time I started to actually grow. A lot of people don't even remember that other creators were here on the channel, but CryMor was never.. _just me._ I really wanted to change my brand because so far it's always been the brand I'm part of, certainly a brand I felt ownership for, but never *MY* brand as in the brand that is *ME.* This new one is. MRIXRT is _me._

Seeing people get switches after years without a Nintendo system has made me realize how different the things people will put up with are. I don't play much online, I don't use wifi on my consoles often, and for whatever reason my joycons have been fine for 4 years now. Meanwhile I'm seeing people pay 60 dollars for remasters a year and a half after the original and they don't have an issue with it on consoles aside from Nintendo's, with borderline, if not entirely required online services that cost 3 times as much. And the consoles themselves are just bad PC's that cost more than they're worth, at least Nintendo attempts to do something unique. They also steer clear of microtransactions on console almost entirely. All of these companies suck and have sucked for decades, they're just terrible in their own special ways.

As someone who started off playing games on snes and the og gameboy it baffles me that people are still willing to buy anything from Nintendo. They barely ever improve anything, when they do they manage to remain 7+ years behind current technology and they rely on their small ammount of interesting ip to the point of beating a dead horse. I really wish sony would drop another handheld just to fuck Nintendos revenue streams.

Animal Crossing isn't fun anymore and it's lost its core. Now it's a game built entirely for people trying to customize vs. experience their little village. It is no longer about how big moving out from home and the people you meet. It's now just a cutesy customization simulator. This is so obvious in the stale dialogue and personalities from the animals and the fact that they replaced an entire cool feature with a hollow one but kept the skin: message in a bottle. Finding a bottle every week or so was awesome, thousands of randomly generated messages to read but now it's just a dumb DIY recipe.

I got switch lite for Animal crossing ( I am new to the series). I decided to sell my PS4. Big mistake- I thought games would run at least pretty close to the games in PS4, but even just minecraft worked like crap on Switch. I played animal crossing, had months of break and forced myself to play again, because it was so expensive! Cannot help but it is so boring and repeptitive. It is cute though, but is it really worth how much they charge for it even now after over a year from release. It is fun for some time but it started feeling like a chore after my island filled up and also the island started to lag. I decided to sell my switch as now i mainly play Minecraft and it works much better on my regular laptop 😅

The switch was the first console I've owned since xbox 360. I've been a PC gamer for over a decade and I thought the concept of a handheld system that can play AAA quality games was pretty awesome. I've put countless hours into the switch and I'll admit I've had fun with the thing but Its flaws are numerous and if this is how nintendo treats its consumers I will never buy another one of their products. As soon as I got my steam deck the switch became obsolete.

The problem with Nintendo is that there's no Iwata and Regigie anymore. Also they're caught up in a "no risk" mentality which means that because of the failure of the Wii U they have lost third party support and they want to save and keep as much money as possible to later apply it into something else. That's why they have the switch in the state that it is, they don't want to risk it and refuse to accept outside inspiration, they're droppining the ball hard.

I get why people feel that way, but I honestly prefer that they don't compete directly with sony and microsoft in terms of raw power. The 16-bit console wars were stupid, and videogames aren't cheap. I can't afford to be buying a new $500+ console every few years. I used to love Sony, but none of their old exclusives that I liked are the same entities they once were, if they still existed at all. I felt similarly about Nintendo too for a long time, even longer than with Sony because Sony joined the game later. But Nintendo seems to have corrected this problem. While they still put out the kinda games that don't seem familiar, they also started putting out the ones that do again. With the Nintendo being cheaper, it's actually an option to consider, whereas Sony and Microsoft aren't, even if they did have games I really wanted to play(the only one I really missed out on was Ghost of Tsushima, but that's coming to PC now anyway). I do wish it either had better power, or they optimized some games better to run with the power it does have, and some games could just look better, sure, but honestly graphics have never been a concern of mine. I'm much more interested in fun gameplay, and I feel like a lot of the newer games with ultra realistic graphics end up focusing so much on making the graphics look that way that they legitimately don't have time to flesh out other parts of the game. Breath of the Wild and Tears of the Kingdom look like cartoons, but the way the games play, all the options you have, all the physics interactions being so logical and intuitive... that whole experience more than makes up for the lack of photorealistic graphics. Nintendo could probably achieve both, but how long would we be waiting between releases, and how much more money would we have to pay to get it?

I adored my switch at launch, every single game I picked up was incredible and I was pretty blind to the console's flaws, but by year 2 i barely played it outside of a handful of small games. Waited until last year to mod it, and although that meant no online on the modded sd card partition, it made me use and appreciate the console significantly more. new life was breathed into an underpowered soulless system through custom themes, piracy, homebrew, etc. if anyone else is dissatisfied with their console and dont mind the risk, take it. its totally worth it! however it should not take the work of fans to make an active console enjoyable. as someone who grew up in the wii u era the switch has been the most insane monkey's paw of "i want this company to be succsessful again." i love my modded switch, but when mobile phones outpace your console in power, customization, and user satisfaction shortly after launch, you've done something wrong.

The main character is “Mike Jones”, a baseball player who travels to the southern cross to find his missing uncle. The game is similar to Zelda and Mike is similar to Ness. It would be great for Mike Jones to be in smash bros. Just spreading word about the series because it’s underrated but a very good game. 👍

This will be the last generation that I support them. Nearly 5 years in and we still don't have a dedicated Nintendo Online ecosystem cause I refuse to ever "buy back" hundreds of dollars worth of games on a newer platform. Most of the library is still made up of Wii U ports and very few Switch based games. Their business practices are as blatant as ever. Them pretending that Joycon Drift was made up by Sony or Microsoft. Switch Online is a huge ripoff that is worth $0. We don't even get good servers that cost money and we don't get N64, GameCube, or Wii games as part of the program ? Like Nes and Snes games are super easy to emulate and you could always buy a Bluetooth controller to use. I see Nintendo pulling another Switch move where we get games on Next Nintendo that should have been on Switch.

I’m by no means a nintendo fan boy, but to be fair to Nintendo, they are the only ones still making handhelds. Sony dropped out of it despite how nice the vita was (lack of support by Sony killed it) and Microsoft was never in the market. It’s nice being able to play on the go, or to just play for a bit in bed or so. Naturally, the miniaturization of the hardware and the uniqueness of the interface won’t be anywhere near as powerful as a dedicated console. This console has touchscreen, motion controls, and the IR sensor, all built in right out of the box. I (and my son) have been enjoying ours. We also have a ps5 and xbox one, and those do not have these features nor the portability. The same was true of their previous portables (GB, GBA, DS, 3DS), they didn’t hold a candle to the graphical prowess of their console counterparts, or even their competitors (game gear, psp, vita). But their games and unique features (especially the ds and 3ds) were phenomenally fun. That said, i agree with you on the eshop practices. It’s atrocious that the entire shop can be taken down. But this also true for Sony. Losing access to the psp, ds/3ds eshop is horrible. Even Sony reversed it’s decision for the vita eshop (thank goodness). The biggest issue I have with both Sony and Nintendo is the lack of backwards compatibility. We see much better support in this regard from Microsoft, with the latest Xbox series X being compatibility with games going back all the way to the beginning, the original xbox. Edit: one issue you didn’t bring up is owning multiple switches. It’s not easy to share digital games you own across your own systems.

Another point is that Nintendo has always been behind in terms of console power levels since the SNES days. They’ve never caught up since. SNES (1990), Sega CD (1992), PS1 (1994), N64 (1996), and so on. Nintendo’s hardware has been out classes for decades. Their saving grace? Their game library is enormous. And most of them are exclusive to Nintendo.

Their only hope is their IP’s which they ruthlessly protect via copy write yet they clearly don’t give the developers the time or resources to create a polished product. Most of the major first party games they release don’t even run well because Nintendo decided to build as cheap as possible using a generation old mobile console chip. Developers are clearly getting screwed by this and Nintendos refusal to invest in better technology so they developers have more space than those pathetic little cards they have to shove their games into fitting. Keep in mind Nintendo could have freed up more space and crated a better functioning console by giving their console an SSD drive and trying a download only version of games so developers have more space to work with. But that would cost money for RND and Nintendo would much rather invest in a stupid gimmick that just holds their games back rather than actually invest in any form of more powerful technology. What a joke their hardware has become, and its a roadblock their IP’s are going to run into until Nintendo eventually falls into the dust

I feel like game consoles as a whole really have no reason to exist. I don't say that as a PC master racer (I actually prefer playing on consoles), but before it was a matter of each console being different and being able to do different things. If they're all capable of pretty much the same thing then there's really no point. The Switch could be different, but more often it seems to just play it safe and be what the other two are being, just worse. Whenever it introduces something it can use to be different, it doesn't seem to dwell on it very long (amiibo, labo, etc)

As a big Nintendo fan, I firmly agree with all your points. Sorry if I’m late, KZfaq just recommended me this video today. The biggest problem with my Nintendo Switch isn’t the Joy-Con drift, it’s the freaking WiFi chip. I have had so many battles trying to get my hotspot to connect to it. Even my 3DS XL and HP laptop connect to it just fine (I don’t have ethernet or a WiFi router.). My Switch only connects to the Internet whenever it feels like it. Still, I love my Nintendo Switch to bits, and it even slightly helped me bond more with a close friend I hope to officially date one day. A shame I can’t play with her online because she can’t afford to get pass the paywall, thanks Nintendo. 🥴

The problem with the Switch's hardware isn't the ''lateral thinking with withered technology'' philosophy. The Game Boy was released more than THIRTY years ago, was the LEAST powerful of it's generation's portables, and survived A FUCKING GULF WAR BOMBING. It also was cheaper and had better battery life than the competition (this contradicts your ''older, cheaper and _less effective_ '' statement at 9:49). This was not in spite of, but BECAUSE of Gunpei Yokoi's paradigms. The Wii and Wii U also had decent internet connection and resistent hardware. This isn't the _creative_ Nintendo that limited itself to get the most out of old tech. This is the corporate, cold, bussiness side of Nintendo that we didn't see as children, and Doug Bowser has now made more apparent than ever.

One of my switches is a generation 1 that I got secondhand, and somebody who owned it before me musta put the joycons on backwards at some point because whatever mechanism locks them in place no longer works, and I've had one of those joycons pop off while playing, but that's the closest thing I can think of it having them disconnect. And they only do that because the previous owner was an idiot. My other two sets of joycons don't slide off unless you hold the button down on the back.

A part from second hand units on eBay the prices have seemingly never budged, and the games, the games are shockingly expensive. Its all a shame really as, as you say, theres loads of barriers into the Switch. I could afford it sure, and I am luck to be able too, but not everyone will. However I'm hanging fire as the things I've witnessed from my research, price point, games, hardware and software problems don't seem worth the hassle.

You have said everything I was thinking here. The Switch has so many flaws, but I think I've only just gotten slight drift after six years and have never had wifi issues. I do agree with most of his points. I don't think Nintendo has been for hardcore gamers since the early 2000s. The Switch reminds me of the 3ds. It's behind on the times and the games are casual. It's become primary for me since my dad is usually on my ps4 and my PC died, and I still have very little issues. Then again, I've never really cared about graphics or hardware or... anything? if a game is fun, I'm down for it. My main issue is that the shop sucks. And as long as Nintendo is selling Legend of Zelda, I'm buying from Nintendo. Flaws and all. Maybe when I have more money I'll get a steam deck and emulate, but not right now.... Also I'd have to learn how to emulate and I am a moron when it comes to tech. For now, the switch has crash, spyro, and LoZ. I'm more than happy (i miss Kingdom Hearts and Final Fantasy so much I want my PS4 back).

While I have no joycon drift after months of using, I have other issue with it: the design. The reason most controllers and handheld console like 3DS, PSP, and PS Vita have the analog sticks stayed in diagonal from the d-pad/buttons is to avoid the thumb hitting it by accident, but the joycon has the analog stick under the ABXY buttons, so I often hit it by accident a lot. However, I have no problem with the analog stick above the d-pad.

Nintendo should stop trying to reinvent the wheel with every console generation and instead just focus on making good consoles without gimmicks, but with POWER enough to run games at the same level of PS and Xbox. The Switch was a decent idea, but it sucks that it is 1080 in docked mode and just a shitty 720p in handheld. It should've been 1440p in docked and a 1080p screen on the console instead. Games such as Breath of the Wild suffered quite a bit thanks to the relatively low specs. Lots of pop in's and stuff like that that took away quite alot of immersion for me. Nintendo wanted the world of breath of the Wild to feel Alive, but have no console strong enough to keep animals on screen for more than a few seconds before they simply vanish to save on the system memory. Enough shitty gimmicks consoles, Nintendo. Please!

I hate to break it to you but 1440p of power wasn't really feasible when the Switch launched, at least not at the price they launched it at. I'm not defending Nintendo. I'm just pointing out people tend to vastly overestimate the power needed for higher resolutions, like 1440p and 4k. Even PCs struggle to play current gen games at higher resolutions with a reasonable frame rate. 1440p has only recently started becoming a common sweet spot for games.

So long as Nintendo allows their fans to play their entire library. I’m actually working on an ambitious website to show just how massive Nintendo’s library of games are. And it’s big. So much wasted money on Nintendo’s part

5-6 years in after 2 sets of joycons (both of them sent back twice, still drifting) and I'm wondering why I'm still paying Nintendo. The n64 expansion pass was pretty much the last straw from me.

Switch Lite user here: I somewhat have a Joy-Con drift too, it's not too bad yet and barely appears too so far, but it's my left stick drifting to the right slightly. And the example of a Joy-Con drift at about 3:40 shows the same stick drifting to the right a bit, just like mine does based on Link's speed there. This can be a huge coincidence, but does anyone else also have the same drift on a Switch or Switch Lite?

I’ve had bt issues with my switch and the only way I could fix it was by keeping my switch ontop of the tv stand. I’m guessing the bt module was being obstructed by my cable box and other devices above it in the other shelf. I’ve had no issues since

Gamecube was Nintendos last no gimmick console whats that like 20 years ago? Did not enjoy the switch decent library took 3 years and by then I was already gone, best thing it did was collect dust. The store is hot trash its clear Nintendo gives two flying mario flips about its consumer and fanbase. I edited because im that afraid of the big "N" somthing is not right in the mushroom kingdom. In any case the Switch was a bad trip.

Nindeno definitly has problems and I don't defend them for it, they should be critisied. But unlike some other publishers at least they still make good games I'll keep buying them and if they don't I don't, ther's a reason why I havn't bough pokemon sword and shild. At least unlike most other triple a publishers nintendo makes good games instead of lootbox filled microtransaction based, buggy messes.

I love Nintendo for the most part, especially their games, and I also love the Switch because it has those games, and I love the hybrid design. It's a dream design actually for me, and something I imagined after using a Wii U. Like, what if I could use the Wii U Gamepad as a handheld away from the console. I remember doing a sort of blog post about it before the Switch released, and when it was officially announced, it was a great feeling. Anyway, yeah, Nintendo as a company is more so what sucks than the actual Switch itself. Their refusal to take advantage of their classic library is ridiculous. The paid online, especially the $50 a year for N64 games, is a rip off. The fact that I can't digitally "own" any of these games and they are tied to a limited time service is stupid. Their pricing for "remasters" like Skyward Sword at $60, and then tying and Amiibo to an exclusive feature only available to that Amiibo....wut? The fact that the OG Switch dock scratches the Switch, both front and back is laughable design...it's like they didn't test the dock at all, and it was a last minute addition. The Eshop is an absolute joke, and is slower than molasses. There's no D-pad, or an option to buy an official d-pad Joy-Con, why? And the last issue I'll mention, they have been constantly been releasing incomplete games, and advertising them as getting free content, when really, the game wasn't ready for release, but they released it anyway, in turn making their physical copies almost useless.

Another thing that gets me is that new OLED model. I mean, it's nice that they finally decided to put in an OLED screen, but why now, and why on that model? It would have made more sense to put an OLED screen on the Switch Lite. You know, the model that _can't_ be docked.

Well if the company is what sucks than ultimately everything will. Nintendo just just doesn’t make any substantial effort anymore. Not really a problem for me since I haven’t touched the switch in years. I think this might be the case for a lot of Switch owners, which will definitely effect them. I’ll be buying a Steam Deck instead of a new switch next time.

I'm going to challenge your point on whether or not Nintendo is "holding back game developers" with its low-end graphics. It's true that more powerful hardware can change design decisions. That being said, all 3rd-Party devs have to decide what to put resources into, and sometimes you make a cut based on business or artistic vision. If I make a game for PC, I need to either make graphical settings that allow low-end PCs to run it, or decide I'm okay not getting money from low-end PC users. Would those low-spec PCs be "holding back the game industry?" Furthermore, many 3rd-Party devs simply skip the Switch, and it's fine. The Switch didn't stop Monster Hunter World from releasing in 2018, and that game was still a massive success despite not being on Switch. Instead, Capcom made a separate game, Monster Hunter Rise, for the Switch. The way I see it, Nintendo isn't holding back the games industry as much as it's trying to create its own, more isolated market through its unique hardware features, 1st-Party Exclusives, and low-spec processing. Now whether or not THAT is a good idea is a much more interesting debate. I agree with many of your other points. The hardware feels cheap and Nintendo has made several anti-consumer decisions this generation. But the games industry is far too big for one company (Nintendo) to hold the rest of it back.
@reallycool 2 жыл бұрын
I think the difference between a low-end PC and a Switch (with regards to 'holding back') is that the Switch is *such a large playerbase* that you can't ignore it--and it grows every day, whereas "very low end PC" is a playerbase that is constantly shrinking everyday.

I haven't just had to replace joycons because of drift, I've had to replace a pro controller as well. My first one started drifting after only a year. I've seen apologists say that all controllers can get drift, that it's some inherent problem with analog sticks or something, but I have _never_ had to replace multiple controllers for Playstation or Xbox consoles. Come to think of it, I never had that problem with the Gamecube or Wii either. It's like Nintendo completely gave up on quality control.
