Forums - Nintendo - Nintendo Switch missing XY Feature = Not Buying

I just noticed lately that more threads like that are popping up. Yes, the Nintendo Switch lacks a lot of features. A LOT OF FEATURES. Some are essential or less essential to the gaming experience. So, because I get easily annoyed by them, and don't know what deep conversation I can have with those threads unless to say that Nintendo is doomed for not implementing a TV Remote Controlling app like on the WII U. I just want to see all your missing features on the Nintendo Switch. Being it serious or not.

So, here I go:

No Web-Browser
No Netflix or any other streaming app
No Headset interface on the Pro-Controller
No Voice Chat with friends without Smartphone
No installed Apps on the Switch
No Trigger Buttons on the Pro Controller or any other Controller
No additional R and L buttons on the Joy-Cons
No D-Pad on the Joy-Cons
No TV Remote App
No Bluray Player
No 4k
No Stylus
No Miiverse
No specs being on par with PS4 or better
No Uncharted games
No optical out on Docking station
No additional Docking Station in the Bundle, I have 2 TV's for God's sake! One costs 90$ !!!

...

therefore no buy!

Go on, show me your concerns..

You forgot the "No way to charge the Joy Cons while playing without paying an additional $30 fee" one ^^.



I tought this year was going to be hard for me since 2 consoles are releasing and I wanted to buy one next to my PS4 but the choice to add the scorpio instead of the switch was the easiest in history, by the reasons you mentioned, its an unfinished product with not a lot of games or hardware specs to boost

If this product is ever going to be desirable its going to be 2-3 years from now when they updated the software, changed the online functions and made a ton of good games and the hardware managed to sale a decent number and drop to a respectable price.

For now most of the games I want are on PS4 and when I buy the Scorpio I will be able to pick up a few exclusives I missed for not owning a Xbox Earlier and play third party games in the best console-experience possible

No ability to play SEGA Saturn nor SEGA Dreamcast games. Also it's not a SEGA Saturn nor a SEGA Dreamcast. Why did Nintendo do this?



No support for licensed surround sound formats like Dolby etc only LPCM 5.1. meaning no surround sound unless you have a fairly new hdmi AV amplifier or support for encoded surround sound on 2 channel output for those with older AV amps



No mp3 or other audio player?
No access to storage for adding video or audio files?
No support for wii or wii u accessories
No email app
No access to wifi that requires browser logins
No user accessible battery for upgrades or replacing



Forgot the obvious one:
Not enough disk space! 32 GB is not enough!!
