What's Wrong With The Nintendo Switch?

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.

Why The Nintendo Switch Kinda Sucks?

MRIXRT

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._

Just wanted to add a couple points to the online shop part of the video.
1. There’s no user reviews on the games.
2. There’s no refunds
So unless you check other sources, you’re basically buying games blind, and you better hope you like it, cuz once you bought it there’s no going back.

The Wii U didn't suffer from nearly as many connectivity issues as the switch and that had free online lol.

I finally decided to cave and bought a Switch earlier this week, my first Nintendo thing in yonks. While I'm totally loving BotW I'm taken aback by just how terrible the machine itself is. The WiFi barely stays connected, the Joycons are pure rubbish and I can't understand why so many old games are being sold at new game prices.

Remember that Nintendo Made the gameboy, a console that endured a bombing and still worked afterwards

**Reads title**
NOW LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE--
**Watches video**
Ah, yeah, that's all pretty true

[P-K-P]

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.

[GymLeaderEd]

What's crazy is how hostile nintendo fans will get anytime you criticise any nintendo IP or product. Didn't like BOTW, don't like the switch, didn't like SWSH? These are opinions that make people more upset than political discussion. It's nuts. Great video man.

[supermariosunshine]

I wish you had talked about how bad the eshop is, with not even a review system or a way to get recommendations from what you purchased. You have to dig through so much trash to find something interesting inside.

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.

[lckfan]

I really hate how people say "you can just repair your 80 dollar controllers for free!" Sure but whats stopping the controller from drifting again? They arent adressing the main problem.

[Angel-bomh]

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.

[Borispirit]

Totally agree with you on all points.. we as Nintendo fans get disregarded when it’s all said and done even though we keep supporting the bs.. what gets me frustrated is they profit off of dated games that get re-released as if they’re new with no new content.

[mtk]

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.

Why my Nintendo Switch Lite sucks:

*I've worked for it as a student even when in pandemic just to buy one.
*My first console/handheld and then immedietly drifts its joystick before 1 week of use
*I've wasted 250 dollars. (They added a 50 dollar price during the quarantine)
*Can't even have it fixed as there's no Nintendo branch in my country.

[TimeTellsNoLies]

Considering the screw ups that Nintendo had even before the Wii U came out, it's not surprising with what's been happening right now.

[orangejjay]

Things like this is why I emulate Nintendo games. 😂

I finally got to play around and use the switch a bit at my friend's house a couple of months ago and got to experience how mushy and small the joy cons were, not only that, I was seriously astonished to see how cheap and cramped the whole thing felt, I can't imagine someone spending more than a couple of hours playing BOTW, or any game really, undocked without a real controller, much less over one hundred.

[jace-voxl]

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.

[DThunder]

When I heard the intro i agree. I have a switch and I love it, but I really wish it was better
