So you think Nintendo intentionally released a dock that they knew scratches screens, but didn't care enough to fix it

No.

No shit, the fact that the added performance of docked mode can't even run 1080p and run as well as it does in handheld mode speaks volumes.

No it doesn't. Higher resolution takes a lot of processing power.

What did I say when I created my list? That any point alone doesn't prove anything but collectively they do? And that people were going to treat my points as if each one was supposed to prove something. Great job.

I'll take that as a concession that this point is completely invalid.

Ahh, but see, there is actually games that are portable only, because they do use the touch screen as a critical input.

I fail to see where a few rare indie titles, I think all of which were developed for touch screens, using a rarely used function amounts to anything.

Don't kid yourself. Cables have some of the highest margins in the electronics industry.

If you say so. I doubt you're correct.

I'm not. People can't seem read or understand my point (yourself included) taking me to task for a position I never took.

I'm not the one who keeps bringing it up.

Instance #3732892928 on this site where someone acts like something is/isn't an issue for them it should/shouldn't be an issue for anyone else.

USB cords with an adapter are the standard for portable devices. It's hardly me making up a problem.

As for the charging grip, it's not an issue for anyone. The Joy-Cons charge fast, they last a long time, the system gives you plenty of notice before the batteries actually do run out, and they come with a charger you can't lose.

After all the shit you've given me for using the fact that you can't charge the joycons and play in docked mode out of the box

I hadn't said a word about that. Although, yeah, that's a really silly complaint.

Perhaps you should blame Nintendo for not spending the extra dime or two to toss in a USB-USB-C cable in every Switch

Did you just try to turn this into a "Nintendo is cheap" thing instead of your original argument?

For clarification, you think it's reasonable to expect people to always dock their joycons after use so their batteries never deplete, but it's unreasonable to expect people to treat their Switch with enough care to not damage it.

I think accidents happen, kids play rough with stuff, and I'd rather be safe than sorry.

I don't think having the default be docking your Joy-Cons every once in a while is unreasonable, no.

That's the third time in this post you treated your opinion like fact.

My statement is a fact. Carrying cases are a LOT more popular than the charge grip.

Besides, cases and screen protectors are "extras" aren't they?

Yes, I identified them as such previously. What is your point?

That's twice now you haven't quoted me in a response. Trying to evade a response from me or something?

Look it's pretty clear from your responses you have no interest in actually reading or understanding the points I'm making. Your responses show either a complete lack of understanding or a dishonest representation of my points even in instances I've stated the points plainly. If you cant bother to genuinely try to engage in conversation genuinely, there's no point in me even bothering.

So I won't.



Around the Network

This thread has gone off the rails from originally being a take (albeit completely misguided one ) on the Switch launch to.. I'm not even sure what anymore. If you guys want to talk about whether the Switch is a handheld or a console, or whether Nintendo is being cheap when it comes to accessories, find a more appropriate thread or make one about it. Locking.
