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._
I can respect that man, sometimes it is best to rebrand yourself as something you feel represents you as you. But I will say it threw me off when I saw that change.
That gives a lot of context to the name/brand change. I’m with it. May I ask what the new name stands for or decrypts into?
Also, good video; user reviews and my friends scratched screens stopped me from getting a switch. Seems like an Almost awesome product, that hit a plateau Immediately.
@@reverendray3036 It's just pronounced "Moriarty." It's a visual representation of that word. I can't be "Moriarty" on the internet, though, because good luck googling that.
@@GnaeusDomitius Just "Moriarty"
@@CodenameCMB Thank you Cody!
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.
>no user reviews on the games.
>no refunds
You know who else did that? Epic Games.
Tencent (Epic Games' biggest owner) also sells the Switch in mainland China, the only nation *with a region lock* on *both system and games.*
I just added my reviews to all my games on the 3DS last night.
I think it's pretty hilarious that I can do that despite the eShop not allowing purchases.
Switch sucks. Only played like 2 games. Wish I never bought it.
Nintendo switch is garbage, pitiful creature 🤣
The Wii U didn't suffer from nearly as many connectivity issues as the switch and that had free online lol.
Yea and yet still the Wii U is comparable power wise like I get the switch is part handheld but still
Wii U was just better, unpopular opinion
@@sentientgoose1020 I have both and can confirm I had a better experience on the Wii U lol.
@@Thelango99 I have both and i STILL consistently have more fun with the Wii U
@@Thelango99 i had to exchange my wii u for my switch and it was the worst mistake ive ever made. i seriously miss my wii u
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.
Yeah it will really really piss you off when it won’t connect at all
The Wi-fi SUCKS. Nintendo can't do anything right
@@80sForever29 I mean that sounds like Nintendo, I mean look at the Wii U, thats just a copy and paste of the Wii
@@80sForever29 ok so the wifi sucks, that’s one thing. That doesn’t mean that Nintendo does everything wrong 1 does not equal everything
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.
**Reads title**
NOW LISTEN HERE YOU LITTLE--
**Watches video**
Ah, yeah, that's all pretty true
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.
I spoke about the eShop. I didn't mention that there's no reviews, that's an excellent point.
Remember that Nintendo Made the gameboy, a console that endured a bombing and still worked afterwards
Yes I miss those days when durability was at the top of Nintendos list when putting out a console especially a handheld
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.
Such nintendrone corporate slave fanboys hahahah
@@PSPortalShitpostingAntiSwitch facts
But I will say it's undeniable that Nintendo has more experience in making handhelds
@@PSPortalShitpostingAntiSwitch oh look who's here Sony Corporate Slave
@@mariohoopedme Hahaha in denial lmaoooooooooo thanks for getting triggered at this video lmaooooooo Nintendo fanboy
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.
I've never had a switch controller drift on me, but you're not wrong. And it's a pain in the ass to send it out in the first place, and what if it gets lost/stolen/destroyed in the mail?
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 did a video about Animal Crossings dark side, but I didn't touch on how that's changed. Good point. ua-cam.com/video/xJj4uBQK3FI/v-deo.html
New Leaf FTW
Katsuya Eguchi's biggest mistake is when it lends his series to someone because she is female, not because of the philosophy. AC isn't mean to be cute, it's about the harsh reality the game give you.
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 😅
@@sini2427 should have gotten a 3ds they are much cheaper and animal crossing new leaf is one of the best games in the entire franchise
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.
You're absolutely right. Thanks for the kind comment!
@@reallycool anytime!
Nintendo switch fanboys are the worst
BoTW was awful and overrated - minimal mob types, breaking weapons, temples that you either immediately get your reward, you fight only 3 different bosses or you do a simple puzzle. You essentially get your stamina up so you can climb around in an environment completely void of personality. Absolute garbage game.
@@reallycool - oh man, you REALLY need to update this video. Just think of all the added ammunition Nintendo has given you as of late. Incomplete Mario sports games, over priced premium level for online (which still sucks to play their games on) , not creating enough controllers to sell to their customers that want them (N64 wireless), it goes on and on. What a great video and excellent research and hard work. 👍
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.
Plus Shigeru is a detriment to Nintendo
@@bailujen8052
In what way?
Pretty sure the switch has more 3rd party support than any other Nintendo console
yeah, except Nintendo sucked ass when Reggie was around.
Yeah, they're really "dropping the ball" by creating the second most sold console ever made...
@TheRealNintendoKid Nintendo switch is garbage and underpowered Nintendrone corporate slave 😂😂😂
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.
Plus you can emulate switch games on the stream deck IN BETTER QUALITY THAN THE SWITCH, which is wild.
@@Theblaziken2000 yep
Nintendo's been acting like this since the 3DS days in America.
Now, however? It seems to have gone worldwide, and Nintendo acts like Switch owners are children, despite the player-base not being as such. It's like how Microsoft treats Xbox gamers like thieves and bans them at random.
Was gonna buy a switch seeing it is only 330euros but when i see the prices for the games... yeah nvm if i buy 4games i can get a new switch console like what?
@@MetalSword95 Switch owner here. I only get games when they're on sale, and that's worked quite well for me haha
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.
You keep buying their products that's why. Nintendo cares about profit only.
More like Nintendrone corporate slaves
@@COUNTVLAIDMIR because there isn't another way to get it
Nintendo fuck with every one when mean everyone im gonna show you how.
Joycon drift: people who were excited for new games to buy just to be depressed by broken joycon
Nintendo switch is only for rich people: games prices never drops down
People will ruin your life if you play their game on something that isn't nintendo console: copyright that joycon boyz which just is scumbag nintendo move idk that much about
@@COUNTVLAIDMIR I mean that's pretty much every corporation Nintendo, Sony, Microsoft,
@@x-iei-x4725 I don't buy nintendo games or consoles because I know it's garbage. Y'all gotta adjust your taste to help ignore Nintendo lol cuz the Switch is a joke
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.
The best low price console to buy right now is a Series S. Gamepass is amazing, and It is retrocompatible
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.
When I heard the intro i agree. I have a switch and I love it, but I really wish it was better
That's the feeling I hoped to encapsulate
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'm angry on the internet.
I'm going to attack my audience now!
Exactly.
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.
Bro it's not cheap it really isn't the only flaw to me is that if you got a bundle like an OLED splatoon 3 version it doesn't come with the game and that 360 bucks right there....
I have a switch lite and had put in thousands of hours before I had moved to my Xbox series S. Now when I try to play on my switch again my hands start to cramp and hurt 😭‼️
@@Sypher2004 just because you pay a lot for something doesn't mean the actual build quality of the machine isn't cheap. i say this as someone who's had both the lite & v2 and has used the oled, they're fragile-feeling systems. i only ever play docked with pro controller or handheld bc joycons feel terrible when they're detached lol
@@Sypher2004 lmao. nah its cheap. I play my nieces everytime I visit them and it feels like a piece of junk. The joycons dont even attach to the screen...theyre always loose.
What’s worse than the success of the switch are the fanboys.
Worst fanboys of them all
Go to Reddit and criticize anything about the Switch and you'll end up deleting your account from how gay everyone is on there.
@@WhirlingMusic you act as if they are the only ones
@@prestononuselogu9973
Well yea we are talking about nintendo fanboys so I was being specific.
@@Deadsea_1993 They are on par as the PS fanboys.
Things like this is why I emulate Nintendo games. 😂
I remember this underrated Nintendo Entertainment System game called “Startropics”. Startropics is a very fun and very great action adventure game released in 1990. It was never released in Japan. 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. 👍
The switch itself is actually a really bad console. Its just the games that keep people loyal. But the games are full price always so enjoy that.
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)
Damn, when you stop to think about it, you're right, I sorta dislike playing on PC and mainly play on consoles, but, since the last couple years of the past generation, things have been boring.
@@ParanoidThalyyMVS I mean there have definitely been good games coming out but nothing feels like its utilizing the platform that its on. You used to be able to say "this feels like a Gamecube game, this feels like a PS1 game" etc. Now they just feel like games. The individuality of consoles is gone.
Honestly at this point, I just want regular full handhelds back again.
I want Sony portables back in the market again honestly. I hate Nintendo handhelds especially switch
@emptyglass7867 that's not the point being made, they mean something like the vita or the 3ds that is solely dedicated to being a handheld and isn't underpowered
@@fortunamajor7239Pitiful creature, dedicated handhelds are over 😂😂😂😂
I'm less than a minute into the video, and you do *not* need to make a statement on why Nintendo sucks. I think most gamers are already very well aware that the fossilized dinosaur that is Nintendo is a very infamous company that frequently makes enemies of its customers. That said, I look forward to a longer video for it since it helps me work. Much love!
This is why we need steam deck
PS Portal says hi hahahaha
@@PSPortalShitpostingAntiSwitch you have to own a ps5 to use the portal because it's not a dedicated handheld, if you're gonna have a troll acct in 2024 at least make jokes that are logical 😅
@@fortunamajor7239 stay butthurt that Nintendo switch is obsolete and trash Nintendrone hahaha
@@fortunamajor7239All systems are trash pitiful creature 😂😂😂😂
I miss Iwata. I feel like he had NIntendo on the right path.
This new guy feels like the start of all the problems, putting business first to bad effect.
And my first game was either Mario or Zelda. I remember playing it at my uncle’s cabin when I was just a wee babe. We even had a copy of Metal Gear way back. I thought it was the Incredible Hulk.
Iwata actually helped work on the switch but died before it released
Well, his name IS “Bowser”
Nintendo switch is garbage lmaoooooooooo
@@beanman3413 He also told Sakurai to make Super Smash Bros. Ultimate before he died
Iwata was just as bad. Remember "Operation Belgian Waffle"?
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.
Did you actually count the Wii U ports ? Cause there are only 12, over 4000 games
Ok loser keep on believing that trash
My Xbox 360 Controller has drift with one of the controller stick. All controllers eventually have the controller stick messing up over a long enough time.
Same. Completely done with Nintendo. The only way to protect your purchases is to hack the hardware. That’s such a ridiculous position to leave consumers in, they don’t deserve our money. Additionally, if you’ve followed their public comments and some of the possible leaks - they have no clue what to do next. I feel like they’re in for a real wake-up call.
@@brandonwombacher2559Switch's stick drift happened within only months, or even DAYS, from buying them brand new though. Way different than after years of heavy wear with typical controllers. It was design flaw from the start.
As a big Nintendo fan, I firmly agree with all your points. Sorry if I’m late, UA-cam 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. 🥴
YOUR IN THE FRIEND ZONE DUDE, FORGET HER AND MOVE ON !
@@CORNERSTONECITY777 What hole did you crawl out of? You don’t know anything about my personal life. Me and my friend are still real close, and that’s all that matters to me at the moment. She just wasn’t ready for a relationship, she even told me herself. She’s fun to talk to, and we enjoy each other’s company. Her family is awesome too. We also both struggle with autism and there are other circumstances between us that you don’t deserve to know. Forget her and move on? Look, I don’t know anything about you, but you don’t sound like someone who’s ever even talked to a girl before (or boy, whatever your sexual preference is). Besides, this is a comment section about the Nintendo Switch and what they’re doing wrong. I don’t feel like wasting any more of my time or brain cells.
@@vopilu he talking about Nintendo lol
@@vopilu you mentioned your personal life , wtf. And now you wonder ???? if someone coments on you. He has some point about friend zone :) Good luck
the issue is that its a fcking handheld. whats the point of the 3ds and 2ds when they have this shit? why not keep handhelds to the 3ds and 2ds and release a full home console thats more powerful than a calculator
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.
underpowered, lags too much, bad online, barely any exclusives and the existing ones clearly aren't trying except for 4 of them
I mean it has exclusives, and the exclusives it has are trying.
@@donnovanhyman9417 That's just wrong.
@@jaydenc367 you have to buy those exclusives for 60$ a pop and they never drop in price. All the Nintendo exclusives could be amazing games, but few people have enough money to buy them all. If you factor in that half of their exclusives are ports of games from other Nintendo consoles, primarily the Wii U. Which are being sold as 60$ games and the price never drops for games that are almost 10 years old and even older in some cases.
@@palantiri6590 Sometimes they do drop in price. If people didn't have money then they wouldn't be the best selling Switch games, so more then a few people have the money to buy them, but all of them? eh...Maybe. I dunno if I would say half...but I wasn't even counting those for the most part.
@@jaydenc367 salt lol
You said the thing about the holder scratching the screen, and I immediately bought a screen protector. I might put some felt in the case, too
Glad I could save you the potential pain 😊
I think Nintendo will never change its ways because the fan base is so die hard. If you have consumers that will consume no matter what then why change? Im not a Nintendo player never have been buuut I have a lot of friends that live and die by this company. I myself am a rabid Fromsoftware fan and paid over $200 for the Elden Ring Collectors Edition without even knowing what it contained. Loyalty as well as nostalgia trumps all and that will always be.
Cope Nintendo switch fanboy comment right here.
@@DrSwitchDisrespectParody reading comprehension level 0 for you. the comment is literally addressing the issue of blind loyalty lol
@@fortunamajor7239 you have 4 subs and I have more than you Nintendrone hahaha
You forgot to mention how the switch lites faulty videos chips that Nintendo will not replace for free. I grew up on Nintendo but I'm honestly over it now. Went through now 4 switch and switch lites due to faulty hardware.
Goodness, 4 ? Yet arrogant Nintendo puts out more revisions of Model 2 consoles to celebrate Monster Hunter and Mario. They are delusional
That point of a Nintendo title/franchise being many peoples first intro to gaming is so true. My first ever game was Pokemon Emerald on the GBA. And as much as I Love the Switch for being my reintroduction to Nintendo and introduction to all these other Nintendo titles and franchises I have never played before (as I moved on to Playstation and PC gaming after the GBA), Nintendo’s decisions, practices, and choices all really suck, and that is really a shame.
Bought the Switch at launch and I absolutely despise it. Have less than 300hrs on the system and two pairs of joycon have had drifting issues.
2021 and I still carry my Vita in my bag over the Switch.
See this is why the Wii U is *SUPERIOR*
In my opinion
@@Dark-xv9iz It is superior.
I heavily agree with that last part, just swap the vita with the 3DS. I loved Nintendo’s handhelds and never liked their consoles much besides the SNES.
PS Vita is better than the Nintendo switch lol
The switch has become completely dependant on 3rd party support to prop up the platform, yet those same 3rd party games are the worst versions of those same games, the switch is great for their exclusives but why buy an inferior version of a game I can play in 4K@60fps on my ps5, the portability factor just isn't worth the sacrifices, especially when it comes to resolution and performance
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.
reeeeEEEEEE
But for real, you listed out many of the frustrations I have with my own switch. I do like being able to play while comfy in bed though, but it's hard for that to outweigh my limited library due to game cost, and frustration with my unending drift.
It's just sad that you have to make the decisiom to deal with it at all.
@@reallycool Nintendo switch sucks to in my opinion I only had it for 2 months and u always was carefull with it and it already doesn’t want to charge it just broke randomly for no reason
@@Operator-ne8qn yeah same the library is terrible . It’s a kids console

“We are going in depth” and “why Nintendo kinda sucks” got me hook line and sinker. I personally don’t have a switch but your points were very good Moriarty. Loved the new name btw
Thank you!
Interesting video, I barely play my switch, so I can't say I've experienced any of the common hardware problems, but it is strange to me that so many exist only to either be ignored or begrudgingly fixed due to lawsuits.
What was the game of that indie dev that got ghosted? I don't know if it would make much of a difference in sales to them, but if their game is good, I'd be interested in picking up their game.
I reached out, but considering the information and their relationship with Nintendo, the developer would rather not say. The game is coming to Steam shortly, hopefully the sales will be out of this world.
@@reallycool i wish it had more games like fallout 4 and doom 2016
@Gamedevmike He didn't even say which game it was lmao
I decided to stop supporting them due to their recent behaviour, they have become too corporate and exploitative, I don't have patience for their bullshit, will I miss out on their games? sure. Do I absolutely need to play them? nah.
I felt the same buddy. But I’m just buying my switch collection on eBay. I bought my switch and games and accessories all on eBay for a great price. Because Nintendo products are definitely not worth paying full retail haha. I bought a switch complete boxed with extra controllers and pro controller for $230. I’ve bought many games for $30 as well. You have to know how to search eBay for the deals.
I really like some franchises, but Nintendo half assed the switch releases like they half ass everything they do. 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
Just sail the high seas and pirate.
@@biivamunner3122 Shame that the Switch emulator scene is still really difficult to get into, and you pretty much have to own a switch to use one
@@ToddHoward76 I guess probably to prevent piracy.
Which sucks. I guess it's technically illegal but if you don't wanna support a company yet still play their games it's the only way to go.
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.
Great video. I have owned nearly all the Nintendo systems at some point up until the WiiU which I didn't bother with. I came across your video whilst researching the Nintendo Switch, something I was thinking about picking up for the family. However I was shocked at the pricing of a console from 2017. 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 got every nintendo system EXCEPT the Wii U? Haha you should have got it
Smart choice, you'll have buyer's remorse like I do...
Great video! Nintendo gets a big pass for how fun their games are, but they make some pretty baffling decisions.
Oh hey thanks, you look familiar
their games are not even that fun, maybe super mario
@@gippooverground8067 if their games weren't fun why would so many people buy their console
@@oonkymppa5923 because are casual and many parents and grandparents buy this specific console for their children since have more family friendly games

There's nothing wrong in admitting nintendo makes good games.
I'd say 97% of people like you are so biased nothing others say matters.
My only question is: what in the world has made people like you dislike Nintendo so much???
I'd almost say that you have an opinion before you have any reason for that opinion. So i guess that's what your friends thought. No need for actual evidence since everyone in your close proximity already agrees. And those who don't can't say anything or they will be laughed at.
This and EmpLemons video tackles info that each other video doesn't have that brings both into one realization. Nice work
EmpLemon will be missed for his ytp's
@@DrSwitchDisrespectParody yes, but his newer stuff is still just as good
@@Scribbros agreed
I loved your video! Very detailed! Could you make one where you praise the Nintendo DS/DSi/3DS? :D
But 3DS was just as broken. Bought it at launch, and it scratched its own screen, and the shoulder buttons never work as they should. Great games, terrible hardware on the first version.
First game I've ever played is probably Mario Kart Wii. I was maybe 3 at the time, I remember loving the Mushroom track the most. Spyro is a close second on the PS2, then Pokemon Diamond. Me and my cousin obsessed over a PS2 game called Ape Escape 3, we played it so much that it broke and cried over it lol
I think another huge hardware problem is that the system just like a mobile phone or a tablet needs to recharge the battery pack for a certain percentage until you can start the system up, think about what will happen in ten years from now when the battery is dead.
Really?
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!
It's a good handheld not a good home console it's also cheap for what you get
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.

The switch cannot play some of its exclusive without single digit fps.....
They jusy had a chance to upgrade it and just gave it a better screen...
Should i buy it? Or wait for a new version or new console? I want to play those games But they are waaaay too expensive...
Wait for a new console. It's not worth buying it now
Get steam deck
Find an old hackable one and just pirate
One more gripe you could have added to your switch video- it runs out if batteries even when turned off, and takes f o r e v e r to get enough charge to turn back on
Mine has now been plugged in for over an hour and it still won't turn on.
If you want to play big third party games do not buy a switch

Thank you! I just use a Blue Yeti Pro, with no post processing except compression.
For me, the portability just isn't worth the sacrifices of dated hardware and technology, I mean the PS4 came out 4 years before the switch yet the switch is still inferior
Now not only are the Wii and DSi shops gone, they also shut down the servers that allowed you to redownload purchases. It's inevitability going to happen with Wii U and 3DS next. There's no excuse for it when I can go on my Xbox series s and buy and download original Xbox and 360 games with no issues.
23:00 What was the game?
Pokemon Shield
There are some good words in this video.
I’ve had basically all of the hardware issues except warping and dead pixels. It’s not fun. :(
Thanks for providing a few of those words ;)
I've had my joycons replaced by Nintendo, wait for it TWICE!!! Warning they don't "fix" the joycons, they simply replace the boards in them with the same flawed board. Also they didn't bother to advertise the fact they fix them, I had to find out from friends, no Direct on it nothing.
Yeah, I agree with pretty much everything you've said. Right now the Switch is occupying basically the same niche that the Switch did - the Nintendo console that I play one or two games on per year.
literally this. The only reason i own one is for first party exclusives. As a console its behind even the ps4 and the xbox one. Its game selection is just ports of games that came out 8 to 10 years ago. And switch fans act like a port of diablo 3 or having it be an indie console is good. My switch has been sitting there collecting dust ever since i got mine.
The Batter not my switch I have been playing some one piece pirate warriors 4 on it you will be surprised how many people play 3rd party games like doom internal or mortal kombat 11 on it
@@maplemiles3381 With how badly the switch runs actual games thats a terrible idea. And a lot of the time you need to be streaming them. I got a pc so the switch has been basically dead. The switch was honestly the biggest waste of 400 dollars I ever made.

No it's the same speed, wired is about the same speed too but ping will be a bit more stable.
I got my switch a month ago and the left side is now slightly warped making my left joycon very loose it’s really annoying because it’s not like I can just go out and buy another switch because it’s not a problem with the joycon
I didn't pay attention to subscriber numbers and I had honestly thought this channel was much bigger based on the production quality. I'm glad I found this channel. Good job.
yo, me too. the amount of thought, care, effort and research that goes into these is mind blowing, and i expected the sub number to be in the hundreds of thousands when i finished watching the first video. Amazing quality of work and dedication.
I'm getting to the point where I'm tired of how nintendo has been. I've been upset with the online service for a while now. Also the price for playing ocarina of time on my switch, realizing I can play a better version of it for free on PC. Nintendo is just slacking big time.
I’m just wondering why the clipping video system has to be so complicated like I’m holding the capture button and I get this “THIS SOFTWARE CANNOT CAPTURE VIDEOS.” Because the whole reason why I wanted to get Nintendo is so I could record myself playing Nintendo switch but they keep repeating mistakes they don’t change at all and this why I haven’t played Nintendo in 10 years
Great video! Very concise and well mannered points. That e-store looks tragic. As a PC and PS4 player, I can't imagine not having my online library available. It's where the market has been going for the last 5 years.
It's just such a backwards thinking that "anyone who wants to play this would've bought it physically."
One time I was playing a ranked battle in Splatoon 2, and me and my team were doing great. That is until my stupid right joycon just stopped working and they disconnected mid-match, and I lost the match because of my garbage controllers. I was soooo mad.
So you’re the jackass that costed the game.
I hear about these problems all the time. It’s never happened to me like Joy con drift or streaks on screen, etc. but yeah the cloud-based stuff is dumb. I have no trouble with Wi-Fi. And I have the first ever release. This which is always been a secondary console to me. I don’t tend to use it portably unless I have to, I just use the pro controller but it’s the system where I get strictly Nintendo games or games like South Park. When Guardians of the Galaxy came out, I got it for PS4 because you get the free PS5 upgrade which worked perfectly when I got mine. So I have no complaints with the switch. I actually love it. But I do see the issues.
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).
Hi! Good luck with the rebranding. I came to the channel after the other dude had left, so I'm used to it being your take on things. All the best!
Thank you for the support!
Moral of the story is the just get a DS.
Add all the half assed games Nintendo has been pushing out with “free updates” in the future.
Nintendo is like a religion, the fanboys will always love Nintendo no matter what they do.
Such a stupid cult full of 12 year olds lol
@@PSPortalShitpostingAntiSwitch yup
EmpLemon did a video exactly about that (Sacrifices to the Church of Nintendo). It was pretty good and I wasn't even aware of the extend of how absolutely vile and idiotic Nintendo goes about Nintendo game E-sports.
Sony and Microsoft are no different so what’s your point?
Explain how I broke my WII by tripping over the controller cords for gamecube? Now I lost my Save Card for Gamecube so I cant save
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 can only use my pro controller because the joy cons calibration are fucked up and I hate how I can only play one game at a time cuz there isn’t enough space
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.
I've heard of most of these hardware issues: the stick drift, the screen damage from the dock, etc, but I've never experienced any of them, and I've definitely never heard of switch lites being bricked by the drift or controllers just randomly disconnecting.
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.
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
The wifi and hardware are my most frustrating aspects of it, I'm more than willing to buy 20$ for online just as long as it's good and fun but in this case it's neither.
(As for hardware, the dock scratched up my switch quite badly.)
I get why people hate EA, but as someone who doesn't have a lot of money to spend on games it's really awesome to be able to actually play new games through Origin Access. It feels so bizarre to me to be able to pay like $12 or something and get to play EAs newest games for a month and then look over at Nintendo where to have to pay to get.. What? Contra 1 for a month?
Yes. Xbox Game Pass (which is also on PC) will include EA Play plus all Microsoft games and a couple hundred other games for $15/mo. Best deal in gaming.
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.
First video game every played? Super Mario 64 on my big bro's 64. I just remember doing the penguin race over and over again.
After that it was New Super Mario Bros on the DS. As it was the only DS game I had, I played it to death. Then New Super Mario Bros on the Wii with my 2 sisters. I was always Blue Toad. Teamwork made the Dream work and I vividly remember us beating the game and savin Peach.
Then it was my friend's old broken 3DS he gave me for my birthday. The camera was busted and you had to hold it a certain way to charge, but I loved that thing. Picked up Smash and Dragonball Fusions.
Now I have a Switch and New 2DS. I beat my first Zelda game: Link's Awakening! And I'm now playing through The Minish Cap.
If Nintendo was serious, they could come up with a console that is both modernly capable and nostalgically hip. The Switch could have had a better chip.
nice rhyme
I've suffered from I kid you not every hardware issue on here. Dead pixels, warping, connective issues, unresponsive bumpers, stick drift ect. This combined with the lack of real sales and paid online has turned me off the system completely, only using it once in a blue moon. One of the most defective systems I've used.
I have experienced every problem except warping
I thought that this was just gonna be a rant, but it was a really well put video
How bout all these shitty Pokémon games coming out? I still play stadium on my 64 for hours and I can’t even look at the new ones without throwing up.
The Legend of Zelda was the first game I played when I was 4 years old.
The fact that you can only play a few hours total on a tv before it starts warping is Ridiculous
If Nintendo would open the floodgates of their classic library, they could make hundreds of mistakes and I personally wouldn’t care. 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
Nintendo Anti Consumerism needs to END.
Nice video!, I agree with the most of the points and it's sad to admit it actually, Nintendo used to be a great company with tons of great quality games and devices on it but like any other company of nowdays they grew up, for the worse...
At this point of my life on gaming, I'm not surprised to be honest, not everything remains the same forever, eventually it changes (most of the time for the "darkside", lol!) or die (only problem with this, it's that is quite hard to find a replacement or never find one), but in any case there is always the memories and you can go back to them (I mean in this case play or re-play their old games from the good era)
I haven’t touch my switch for a year a year I play my 3ds more
Old games being resold at Higher prices than their original selling price thinking they'll get more money because of Nostalgia and the saddest part is they did. They don't want people to Pirate their games yet this is the reason I say "You can Pirate Games that were made for consoles that are discontinued" because the pricing is so stupidly high that I physically can't blame anyone for wanting to. I went to Gamestop because I wanted to get my friend Hollow Knight for Christmas. For ps4 it's around 20-25 US Dollars. Understandable it's an indie game, and despite the fact the game is so good I would pay more, For a USED COPY for the Switch it was 50 usd. Idk how moneymaking works nor if Gamestop makes the prices are not.
I'm only a year and a bit late to answer your question. I believe my very first game was on NES and it was Kid Icarus. Ever since then I've been hooked to video games.
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.
