Their antics aside, the main reason was actually just that they treated third parties so horribly.
That attitude I mentioned them having about foriegners....
Yeah that extends to developers, AND in context they use the same line of thinking for other Japanese developers too because it's not them.
They are just so terrible to them and no one really likes working with them.
So when Sony made a more open and accepting platform, to developers, with the Playstation, that really was it for Nintendo and third parties.
Support has been declining ever since.
yeah
It's too bad
I think the switch is really cool on paper
I groaned the second I saw it was yet another hardware gimmick.
I never had my hopes up.
Nintendo's hardware gimmicks have always blown up in their face, so I was expecting this.
maybe
but it's a better informed gimmick IMO, I enjoyed the one my neighbor got
he fortunately isn't experiencing any of these problems
Some are random like the hardware and software defects. Might get them, might not.
Ones you will absolutely see every time though is the screen being damaged over time by the dock (fix this by keeping it in its dock at all times and never taking it out AND GET A SCREEN PROTECTOR), and, entirely unavoidable, the pegs that keep the joy cons in place will wear out very fast and will break if you drop the system.
The pro controllers analog sticks break too. They tend to get stuck.
This system is an all-around disaster.
this iteration of it for sure
hopefully they can make a better version of it or something
where closing the system eventually scratched the top screen
I dunno
maybe I'm optimistic to a fault
They will have to make a better version.
This one is just bad.
totally
The joycon shoulders are fucking trash
they're way too hard to take on and off
A Nintendo gimmick controller that doesn't work as advertised. Nothing new or shocking there.
right
lol
yeah but think about the children
I do think the pro controller this time had the best design of all their controlers they've ever made.
If they can just fix the issue with the control sticks it'd be good to go.
Also, the system should come with one of those controllers, not be sold seperately.
yeah I agree
It looked like it was actually designed with ergonomics in mind this time. So it felt comfortable in your hand.
Instead of their usual fetish with rectangular controllers.
And what the fuck were there thinking with the joycon dock not being chargable
