Platinum & Gold points expiring is honestly one of the silliest things in the world

[TheLegoNation]

Fun Fact: When N64 Themed Icons first came out, You needed the expansion pass to even unlock them so they were pretty much double paywalled

[spencerklein]

It just boggles my mind why you can’t mix and match icon elements- they can only be used with materials from one game at a time

[DarknessAndEvil]

The fact that we don't have more themes is a crime. At launch, it was very understandable to expect more themes.

[BalloonRook]

Hot take: requiring a subscription for online console gaming is a scam

[cupofapricotjam]

yknow what's so annoying about icons is that it's absolutely insufferable if you plan on claiming all of a certain set. i collect all the splatoon ones and i have to click them one by one and wait 5 seconds for it to claim then swipe to the next one and wait 5 more seconds and so on and so on. is there really no way to put a little "Collect All" button or a mass select option ?? please nintendo if you want me to use these points please make it more intuitive to use

[kingbutter]

The fact that basically none of the Wii U apps like the eShop and whatnot didn’t lag just says something

[video-luver]

The N64 Mature app is purely an ESRB thing.
If Nintendo were to add the Mature-rated N64 games to the base app, that would *REQUIRE* a re-evalution from the ESRB, so they could bump up the app to an M-rating, too. That would require the app having to be taken down for the amount of time it takes the ESRB to make their assessment.
Simply put, that's way too much trouble instead of just making a dedicated Mature app.

And to make it all even more infuriating, those Hentai pictures Nathaniel showed at the end, I can tell from a mile away that they’re AI made. And you don’t even need to see a lot of actual art online to tell the difference, because these things have the same visual style as those stupid "AI art" or "AI girlfriend" ads we are bombarded by online.
Yup, Nintendo makes 0 effort on regulating their Eshop, it’s official. Wether quality or age control.

While it succeeds in having games, the Switch in general feels so bland and corporate than the older consoles

[chimueladro]

Another thing that sucks is that you can only buy one icon at a time, cause buying multiple icons takes forever

[jfg-]

The Switch menu without any sorts of music is just like a Nintendo console without any creativity to interract with...
The Wii, 3ds and WiiU, have their theme song for the menu, but the Switch has nothing...
I mean: seriously? This is just a big dissapointment.
I wish that the Switch 2 has its theme song on the menu and, one more good thing, taking the idea from the 3ds theme to personalize the interface to make it more interesting, instead of having only the options to change from white and black the background...

[jimwithms]

Fun Fact: You CANNOT Just use a Background as your icon, Nintendo FORCES you to pick a character as well. why?

[rynemckinney]

Why does everything Nintendo does these days always invoke a sense of FOMO (Fear of missing out) Seriously, you hear a little voice in your head if you miss out on anything limited like Splatoon splattests or the PFP icons telling you "Oh you missed it? Well that's just too bad little nerd you should've had no life"

[batmanbud]

This has made me realize that, while the Switch is still my #1 favorite console, it still has its significant issues, and the next console has a lot to live up to.

[SunshowerHeathcliffBeliever]

Holy Bandy, I haven’t stopped by this channel in a good minute

[aidanmoore]

The nintendo switch online app is only worth it for the icons...and nothing else.
At least...that's just my opinion.

[nggaming]

I was modding my Wii U recently, and started to realize. The Switch really does just have incredibly boring menus. Hopefully this is remedied in the Switch 2 JUST GIVE US THE 3DS THEMES AGAIN PLEASE

Alternate title:- How switch online app TRIGGERS you!!!!

1:43 It always confused me that each individual N64 game is marked with an M rating because of that
