The Biggest Problem with Nintendo Switch

I love the Nintendo Switch but there has been 1 glaring that I have noticed that has brought down the experience over the years and this problem has been getting worse every single year. So today I am going to elaborate on why this is such and issue for the Nintendo Switch and how this problem started with the Wii, Wii U, Switch original and Switch OLED. The NEW Nintendo Switch OLEDs have a BIG Problem as well!

The online memberships is my biggest problem with the switch 🤦‍♂️

[oppenheimerfaaaaaan]

I agree that the Switch needs better hardware. No console should be 2 gens behind, especially in a time where tech is growing fast.

[thelightangel]

I agree with everything you said! Nintendo should quit holding themselves back and ditch the gimmicks in favor of better processing power!

One Flaw is the NSO, Nintendo should sell their older games on the Eshop instead of letting people rent them in NSO another thing about it charging people for online is despicable seriously I get it's cheap but to me Nintendos Online being Free despite it sucking at least it was free back in the DS, 3DS, Wii, and Wii U. Not to mention the Switch Eshop needs music the 3Ds and Wii U had music heck same with the Wii shop to. I love the Switch but it for sure has it flaws well the ones I listed at least.

We couldn't forget the fact that switch design is still amazing after 5 years but the thing I don't like about switch is how nintendo don't care about attention to details. Even after adding folder and Bluetooth headset features. They're still lacking the features such as Themes and etc.... That's not acceptable in 2022, I guess.

I also think that they could do a price drop on the switch and make a newer more powerful model for less than 400. The components in the switch are 5 plus years old, after all that time, it should be cheaper for the consumer and to produce, essentially giving them more wiggle room to upgrade the specs to at least be closer to say a PS4 without changing the price much if at at all. Also lowering the price of the old models make people on a tight budget more likely to get it, with a price drop a switch lite would be less than 200, and it makes people who already have a switch more likely to upgrade and buy another one

Agreed, Nintendo is long over due for a spec upgrade. It wouldn’t be such a big deal if all you get are less graphically impressive games, but when your system now struggles to even play games there is no excuse why they should still be relying on it. No amount of hard work or optimization can push a system beyond its predesigned hardware limitations. And its only gonna get worse as larger and larger games become the new standard as the gap between the Switch and everything else widens.

I also love the nintendo switch and lots of amazing games like origami king, skyward sword hd, odyssey, luigi mansion 3, bowser fury, and many more. But I do agree with many things about this video, my biggest problems easily being the nintendo switch online thing

[SurvivalWasTaken]

The graphics and frame rate definitely could have been better with the switch. I understand Nintendo likes to focus on innovations rather than graphics but they definitely could’ve done better here. I just hope that a new Nintendo console comes in the next couple years I’m just worried that it won’t because the switch is doing so well.

[bigkmoviesandgames]

I've been saying this for years and they just need to match the competition for the next generation.

I think this video is very well made, it also completely misses the point of the switch. The switches point is that it’s a handheld and a console. What this video fails to realize is that 1. The switch was made in 2017 before next gen consoles 2. The switch is much much smaller than other consoles so even comparing it to the series S isn’t very fair 3. That long load times and frame drops do not really affect nintendos bottom line and Nintendo is a business and they will do what will make them the most money 4. The switch is not the console for anyone who will notice and/or care about frame drops, subpar graphics, or anything else like that, not saying that the switch is for kids or something like that but saying that a hardcore gamer isn’t what Nintendo focuses on and that the switch hardware works for ANYONE who wants to play video games it might not be the best experience at home but it has stood the test of time. Anyway good video keep up the good work

[teejaysounds]

To all the Nintendo fan boys recycling the same old “Nintendos focus isn’t about graphics blah blah blah”

Just because there are reasons why the games are beginning to look and run shitty, it doesn’t make it okay. Yes we know why they run poorly, yes we know nintendos focus is on “innovations” (motion controls and portability is a bad trade off for poor performance and graphics imo)

But just because we know why, it doesn’t mean it’s acceptable.. We’re not talking a couple years behind. We’re talking nearly a decade. It’s time to improve, especially seeing as they demand £50 for every other game they sell. And that’s without even mentioning “the release now and update later” issue they currently have.. We have to be critical, we have to complain. Else we’ll be playing at 20-30fps with terrible draw distance for the rest of Nintendo’s releases indefinitely..

Your forgetting that PS5 and Xbox are big consoles especially the PS5, while the switch is just a medium size tablet and PS5 and Xbox are sold at loss for the power your getting but Sony and Microsoft can afford that, I don’t think Nintendo can as much

[shadowsquid]

It's true that the specs are the biggest problem of the Switch by far even when it was released, I understand the price point & the hybrid nature & I think both contributed to the success of the system especially after the failure of WiiU & Nintendo being afraid of putting a system out with a price higher than 300$, still I reaaally don't want a Switch "pro", I'd rather they just continue with what we have until 2024 then release the next gen system. That way they can capitalize on the success of the system without saturating the market + be more daring with the price & specs.

[CalvinBensonOfficial]

honestly, i love your channel and you really deserve more subscribers. you have so much pontential to become the new big nintendo gaming channel, and im looking foward to seeing your channel grow!




4:45 you slowing down the frame rate on the video while talking about a bad frame rate is one of the funniest jokes ive ever seen on youtube

[JDonahue]

The main problem is the RAM. Compared to the PS5 and XSX, the Switch has 4GB of Ram while the competitors have 16GB. And Ram isn’t that expensive.

[logicalfundy]

The problem with comparing the cost to the other consoles has always been the screen, the battery, and the need for good cooling in a really tight space. Makes it really difficult to make a good comparison, as those aren't cheap. What's really showing how far behind the Switch is - is the Steam Deck. The Switch and the Deck aren't that far apart in price, but the performance of the Deck far outpaces the Switch. Maybe in 2017 the Steam Deck wouldn't have been possible - but now in 2022 it certainly is, and it would be really nice if Nintendo updated the internals to close the gap with the Steam Deck.

. . . and yeah, the "buy a game on Switch or another console (in my case, PC) dilemma" is something I know well, heh. But now that I am in the queue for a Steam Deck - the choice is much simpler. Games that aren't on PC I get on Switch - and games that are on PC I get on PC because I'll soon have the Steam Deck which can play them on the go like the Switch.

[jamincortez]

I like your analysis here. I am listening to your videos at 1.5x speed because you talk on the slower side. Though I think you have some very good thoughts to share

[justinevilofficial]

I totally agree, Nintendo Switch was ok until next Gen consoles were launched, so a Switch Pro would have been a lot better than Oled

[the_javinator]

I absolutely agree. And I like how you broke down everything as detailed as you did instead of just having an angry rant. Much respect to you sir and good video as always.
