The Nintendo Switch's Biggest Missed Opportunities...

[@Umariskool]

Hd rumble is actually so good! You don't even notice it but it is utilized so much. For example, there is hd rumble when you swim in ink in Splatoon

[@jumentoqueanima]

Yeah!

[@JRBowling1997]

It makes very good use in Just Dance. For beat Vibrations

I have it on in every game that supports it, they feel so empty and less immersive without it. Can't get used to having it off.

[@ziontrask3459]

the size of the switch makes sense considering it needs to be big enough to show large console games on the screen, where a game boy had games made for it that accommodated for the screen size, but the switch accommodates for large screen games

[@nemofrahmolesen6396]

yeah. the switch also needs to handle big games, so the console needs to have some size to it.

[@samirelhage1318]

As a person with big hands i would hate it being smaller

[@Loanshark753]

I think the Nintendo Switch lite could have dock support if Nintendo wanted and that might have resolved the issue.

[@ziontrask3459]

i don’t think i’ll ever have as much fun as i did with my 3DS walking around grocery stores and seeing how many coins i made to use in games, or seeing i walked by a stranger in the store and got a new character to battle with.

[@az-og4hp]

I agree with basically everything you said but I just want to say that in my opinion, the sideways joycons is my favorite addition to the Nintendo switch. Having 2 controllers attached to a console with good 1st party games that (almost) always have good multiplayer is awesome! I can just ask someone if they want to play smash bros with me without having to bring anything extra.

[@GameBlock_]

All the points in the video were great! The next nintendo console NEEDS to have some more personality. I really hope at the very least it has menu music, as hearing all the different songs for the menus was actually one of my favorite things on the 3DS and the Wii U!

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

I think think the game box of the switch took up too much space and they should return to a more 3D look similar to Mac OS 11. Perhaps making a grid layout as it works the best on 3DS and Wii U. You should be able to have menu music and custom themes too.

[@103lillied]

i just need more themes

[@ChicagoMel23]

ACNH deserved a few more updates and I also wish they’d had more dlc for new Pokémon Snap. ACNH also has a big problem with multiplayer though. Going to someone else’s island is soooo annoying if others are there too. I hate getting stopped every time someone comes or leaves ACNH uses amiibos too but it’s the cards and not as much the figures. Still deserved a mention though.

[@JadenYukifan28]

Same here with the second point, it is so annoying that you cannot move while someone is coming to your Island.

[@NoahWebster-em2zd]

I think we can all agree that the switch NEEDS to have to the charger output on the top instead of the bottom. Especially for the people that charge it and rest it on their stomach.

[@Thesuperdoctor1217]

We need that

[@williamgreen30]

“The switch is by far the largest handheld gaming device” The Wii U gamepad: 👁👄👁

[@JGr2000]

The lack of legacy content is one of the switch’s biggest missed opportunities. This is the perfect console to port older games to due to being portable. I think the NES and SNES selections are good, but N64, Game Boy, and GBA games are lacking and we’re getting those games at a snails pace. The lack of GameCube and Wii games besides the once in a while remaster sucks

[@FireDragon009PlaysMc]

Switch online subscription is the worse thing ever....the games alone are already hella expensive....and yet we need to pay to play online???

[@KillerFox971]

This is why I hate consoles and would much rather play on my pc, I don’t know WHY console companies are so greedy, wether its playstation, xbox or Nintendo which for some reason decided to copy them but just worse, cause atleast with ps plus and xbox game pass you can get ACTUALLY GOOD FREE GAMES

[@FireDragon009PlaysMc]

@@KillerFox971 agreed 💯

[@yum2978]

Most free games are riddled with micro transactions+ nso gives you the emulators and dlcs for a few first party games. Plus xbox has been doing the same thing for years now. Its not great but nintendo is not the most greedy company ever

i legit didnt even know the IR sensor was used in ANY game beyond the initial party game that focused on it. I actually recently remembered it even existed and thought "wait...did any game use that?" HD Rumble at least gets used in Mario Party....ok not much better condition but it got used!

[@PoketronPokey404]

Folders are technically on the switch in the form of groups

[@canalso5806]

in game builder garage, the ir camera nodon could say something like "you found a use for me?" so even nintendo knows.

[@2kidsandadog782]

3:51 - 3:54 Yes the Nintendo Switch has folders and there was going to be more colored themes and E shop music but I think Nintendo wanted to be modern BTW here’s the Nintendo Switch E shop music: kzbin.info/www/bejne/n6e1pIabpKqKlZI

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

I think that the next system would evolve the switch as much as tears of the kingdom compared to breath of the wild, not removing the switch idea or be stuck with the same thing but more powerful. I think they will have it as a hybrid and be backward compatible but have a completely new branding unlike the Wii U, I proposed the name ‘Nintendo Attach & Switch’(It will make sense later), the switch part explaining it’s backward compatibility and hybrid. I think they can have a top slide rail for attaching accessories like an second screen or a camera. Best of all, it won’t increase the cost of the system by really much. I think the second screen can be attached when portable and detached when docked, creating an experience like an Wii or DS. They can also have a camera set including a front and two rear camera, also with an microphone, this allows for AR games or games that detect your body part. This can fill the missed opportunity of the switch like dual screen and AR.

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

Extra: Would be great also they did a smaller switch successor like a 5.5” all screen design with the complete functionality, the dual screen can be clamshell to protect your next generation system, I also think replaceable button is a great idea, offering GCN buttons and d-pad, they can have a lock in mechanisms like the slide rail

[@jumentoqueanima]

Yeah, like make a switch better in every way basicaly and not removing it's appealing things.

[@QnjtGWonQNqVsbYyzjx4]

@@jumentoqueanima You are right, I think Nintendo is working on 2 system: -A spiritual successor of the switch trying to appeal to the switch/majority audience: My ‘Nintendo Attach & Switch’ concept, it’s underpowered at 1.5 tflops portably and 1.8 tflops docked launching 2024, or something similar that evolve the switch to the next level -A more powerful Switch that appeal to the gamers: It’s more of the secondary system and actually it’s what people called ‘Switch a pro/2’ using the leaked t239 chip, even dual chips to compete with PS5/Xbox series, expected to only sold 10-20 million units and focused on 3rd party games with the disc rather than cartridges. The system don’t have Nintendo games and you have a primitive sandbox to run ‘Nintendo Attach & Switch’ games, it can be released at around 2030 or cancelled.

[@Darkangelike]

I really miss the streetwalk function from the 3DS and all the mini games in it. I really liked that army game and also that gardener with all those flowers. After walking a day with my 3DS, I was always excited to see how many people I got. Once, I remember seeing a couple who came in my shop, in my 3DS streetwalk !! I immediately recognised them and I kinda wish I could have seen them again to talk to them about video games >< It really is sad to see all those functionalities disappear, having our own Mii interact with others, that poll thing. Also, on my 3DS, I had bought some Zelda themes. If only they could make those things port over to Switch.

[@Dandelions479]

#TheSwitchIsAPerfectlyReasonableSkizeAndIHaveNoRightToComplain But only to a certain degree, I definitely wouldn't mind a smaller switch, and even a much larger one. You have a right to that opinion for sure, just is I had to choose one, I'd choose the second option.

[@SotraEngine4]

My only issue with it is the joycons getting drift and the battery time being short for a handheld (which makes it so you are more or less restricted from using it when travelling)

[@tomasrabelobelchiordemelo3422]

3:50 Eshop music is in fact hidden in the switch's files, and customised folders have already been done on the switch, but on a wonky way.

[@thevoyagingcreator]

You know what I wished anyone did? For games that use split Joy-Cons, there should be uses for SL and SR. This could give us fully functioning Wiimote/Nunchuck controls on the Switch.

[@TheCoolChocolate_Official]

Games like splatoon and fortnite utilize the motion control mechanic, so those controls aren’t out of the picture, but the other 4 controls are a different story

[@mcch1n]

the part that you said I might disagree was the only part I did agree in this video, the HD Rumble is used more often than you think, maybe you could of mentioned the home button that has a light behind it. Also, it would be cool if the switch light had the 3ds circle pads so you would have to worry about stick drift when putting it in your bag without a case.

[@Anim8s-ck4vl]

The IR motion cam is also in Game builder Garage

[@epoc162]

The thing about the size of the switch is that yes it is bigger then you would really want for a portable device but at the same time I don't do sit on my TV so I really wouldn't want it to be smaller because then it wouldn't look as good when playing the game so it's kind of one of those weird types of situations

[@shermanthebear963]

Actually the hd rumble is pretty cool and can add to the experience. Just not enough games use it.

[@Mehwhatevr]

Totally agree about the ickiness of Nintendo Online. I bought that dance game just to find the content was locked between an additional, subscription based, paywall. Totally feel scammed I’m on team, the switch is too big. Finally bought myself a new 3DS, because that’s what I want in a portable console. A huge game library that I can fit in my pocket plus the ability to play older Console games helps. When I’m sitting on a subway, or an airplane, I don’t wanna be digging through my bag opening up cases and watching about dropping things on the ground. I want something I can pull right out of my pocket and put right back into my pocket quickly when things start getting crowded or moving.

[@TheCoolChocolate_Official]

The switch has a little theme when building up, which is the switch click animation

[@oricat101]

I have a steamdeck and I completely agree with you about the portability problem. Yes, you can take it with you, which I do daily, but it feels more like a 2. Laptop and bot like my 3Ds

[@LutraVibes]

That Homebrew Channel music hits hard

[@Lex_Quinn]

The increased fragility of the switch compared to their prior handhelds is so irritating to me. I still regularly play on my 3ds, 90% of the time it’s somewhere on my person (either a pocket or my bag) and I don’t worry about its safety in the slightest. 2 days ago I dropped it 9 feet onto hardwood and there wasn’t even a scratch. Meanwhile, I feel like a 2 foot drop onto cushions could spell the end for my switch. I never carry it outside of its case and yet I still feel it could break. I wish tech companies would work on making each generation of products more durable instead of the current trend of fragility tbh

[@muhamm38]

I couldn’t agree more with the portability, I would like the switch so much more if it was just pocketable.

[@riicky83]

My main issue with the switch, (dunno if newer models fixes it) is the docking station. On random occasions you'll dock the switch and you'll get no sounds going to the tv. The switch easily overheats after a short while making you wonder why the docking station didn't have a cooling system or another way to hold the switch so the accumulated heat isn't trapped inside a switch-sized slot.

[@mareklek]

Sounds like you have a defect one, i've never had issues like this. And i've played games for 24h+ with no break. The sound issue can also be cable issue. Overheating could be cause of location you have it, or the vent/heatsinks is full of dust. the heat also get pushed upwards from the switch. So if you have one that get heat stuck down in the dock i would be worried about the dock/switch.

Some of this things (not that many) have been done already 1. 2D game: Mario wonder 2….

[@lexiphantom7924]

My biggest complaint about the switch. This is mostly due to it being somewhere between a handheld and a console… Games planning to release on multiple consoles including The switch have to heavily throttle their game in order for the game to run on the switch. As example the game developers for monster hunter rise have said that the switch placed a hard limit on what they could do. I love monster hunter and monster hunter and it breaks my heart to think what the game could have been if the switch never existed.

[@lfree0311]

[@user-kw8ki1oh8r]

You can actually change your background to white to black.And plus it’s still a game that you can put it on your tv and take it to go, and plus at least you can still make a mii. So I’m still happy that I got a Nintendo switch.

[@whittydabomb2496]

Remember they ported games from the nes, snes and gba.

[@_marshP]

The lack of personality and customizability is the worst thing that ever happened to the Switch. All it's got is funny lock screen noises and the click/switch noise when you slide a joycon in. I'm pretty sure the only reason they abandoned stuff like Miiverse and Streetpass is because it relied heavily on Miis, which Nintendo wants to forget about for some reason.

[@matthewburno]

the thing with "HD rumble" its hard for devs to add it when most people use different controllers like power a 8bitdo etc that don't have it just normal spinning rumble also the effect is only fully noticeable if your using the joy cons as Wii nunchucks and remote style! in handheld mode or docked in the grip it just feels like better then avg rumble even for first party games! also I really wish Nintendo did enough crazy calibration so that the motion controls where just as good as the Wii so we could have more Wii games ported! skyward sword keeps on messing up because it don't know where the center is (no Wii center bar) we could of had more rail shooters also sword fighting games!

[@user-iw7xc1jr8s]
