you should work for nintendo, emma 😀
That wouldn't help.
well at least there will be one reasonable voice
Nintendo of Japan doesn't listen to its branches in other countries.
yeah I've heard that before
It's kind of a stretch to call the gamecube a success don't you think
They are actually an extremely conservative company in Japan and conservatives in Japan don't like and don't trust foreigners, regarding them as small children who need to be handheld through everything that can't be a source of useful information.
Maybe, but compared to all systems since, it faired far better.
in the games department sure
Nothing like the glory days of the NES and SNES
Well that way of thinking seems to be working out for them
gamecube was the last ninty console with a good library
The GameCube was their last home system with substansial third party support. But it had already been diminishing since the SNES ended.
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
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
the scratching reminds of the 3ds issue
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
